Send to Hearn to AAA or something.  Same shit every start.

[shadow_operative2.0 16,010]

That was a boring-ass game. 

[Elmer_Fudd 22,305]

This team doesn't want to be above .500

Abreu came for Trevino, he'll get claimed by someone because he throws hard. 

Well, at least we got a body for him. 

 

[shadow_operative2.0 16,010]

Still leadoff.

[shadow_operative2.0 16,010]

Goddamn, that flight served drinks. 

[Elmer_Fudd 22,305]

Last year when Texas reached .500 last May they lost nine of the next ten.

[shadow_operative2.0 16,010]

Hey, tied this bitch up. 

[shadow_operative2.0 16,010]

Holy shit, Nate?! 

[crum 525]

welp

[Elmer_Fudd 22,305]

Unbelievable, can't throw strikes then have to groove one and lead is gone.

[shadow_operative2.0 16,010]

Fucking great. 

 

And Barlow blew it. 

[Herbie Hancock 7,369]

Fucking fuck

[shadow_operative2.0 16,010]

That was not an enjoyable 9th inning. 

[DougO 5,253]

Back to snatching defeat from the jaws of victory, classic Ranger style.

[shadow_operative2.0 16,010]

Maybe he’ll stay alive for a week. 

[shadow_operative2.0 16,010]

[shadow_operative2.0 16,010]

Adolis 3-run yack. 

[shadow_operative2.0 16,010]

And promptly gave 2 right back. 

[ConferenceRoom 6,144]

That would have been terrible.

[ConferenceRoom 6,144]

Thanks, blue.

[shadow_operative2.0 16,010]

Boring fucking game, but at least we've won in June now. 

[Herbie Hancock 7,369]

Hey that was fun. We should do it again

[shadow_operative2.0 16,010]

Not that Vic will ever see this unless he’s posting a meme, but he screamed about trading Maz. 

See ya, Free Willie!

Return for Darvish not looking to hot.  Only one left is AJ Alexy and he currently has a 6.29 ERA at AAA.

[ConferenceRoom 6,144]

Kablammy.

[Elmer_Fudd 22,305]

Any update in Smith's injury?

[ConferenceRoom 6,144]

Phew.

[Elmer_Fudd 22,305]

Angels have lost 11 in a row.

[Elmer_Fudd 22,305]

Unbelievable

[ConferenceRoom 6,144]

That pitch is going to haunt their dreams tonight.

[texastroubadour 1,216]

Yet another blown lead and subsequent loss

[DougO 5,253]

This just in: The bullpen still sucks.

Another classic Rangers Rangering meltdown.

[Elmer_Fudd 22,305]

That may have been the most pathetic loss of the season.

[Jameslaw121 4,448]

We should be 28-25. which would put us in the 3rd wild card spot....

 

Also, Perez now leads mlb in WAR for a pitcher. And tied for 1st in the AL for overall WAR. I did not see that coming....

[Post Oak 20,254]

 I don't know.  I'd like to think we should be 3 games over but this is just an average team and that's what happens to average teams.

This team has been infinitely more watchable and enjoyable.

I'm glad some young guys are up and playing and don't look lost.  

Duran turning on 100 on the inside and launching it was one of the more impressive things I've seen a Ranger do in the last 5 years.

went to the 6/5 game v Seattle.  We took the doggo for 'Bark in the Park' day.  It went incredibly well.  the dog sections were down the let field line and we were right by foul pole.  looked like Garcia's dinger was going reach us, but fell a little short.  100% of dogs in our section were super chill.  I thought it might be a disaster, but i wish they could do more of these games. 

First time in the ballpark and it was great.  much more open and you can see the field from pretty much anywhere in the concourse.  

Only downside was getting out of the parking lots.  We were in lot V and holy shit, there was no one directing traffic there.  nothing in that lot moved for 45 minutes.  I could see other lots that either had a cop or a Rangers staffer stopping traffic here and there to let cars get out of the lots occasionally.  but then they left early and it was hell getting out for those lots as well.  if i would have known it was going to be that bad, would have wandered around and checked out the stuff around the stadium for an hour.

[Radical Larry 28,656]

Tonight’s game is postponed due to weather. Doubleheader tomorrow.

[DougO 5,253]

Semien seems like he doesn't suck lately.

[Radical Larry 28,656]

Look who finally showed up.

[BehoId, The Underminer! 11,669]

This is a very different team with a competent Semien

[DougO 5,253]

I love seeing the Rangers' depth of fresh faces looking like they may be legit. And we haven't even seen Jung. Seems like there's going to be a glut at 3rd base or there are going to be a lot of guys changing positions. Maybe some good trade bait potential there.

[Elmer_Fudd 22,305]

Looks like a lengthy delay is about to happen due to rain.

Yeah remember a decade ago and then some when we said that about Profar, Odor, Luke Jackson, Gallo, Botts, Jake Skole, Beavan, Olt, Demeritte? Forgive me if I’m skeptical of our ability to do anything besides fuck shit up.

[ztejas 43,522]

Rough stretch but we have this going for us so that's nice.

It's a good point. But these new guys are showing a lot more than any of those guy did early, except Odor, who proved to be a fluke. Maybe the current staff has a better philosophy on player makeup. Yeah, it's wishful thinking, but that's all we got.
