Freakin' Grieve never figured out when it was time to wax nostalgic about baseball's ancient past while there are runs being scored and shit. He acts like he doesn't even realize there's an actual game going on. Just keep CJ around full time.

Off tomorrow, then 4 late ones. 

[shadow_operative2.0 15,824]

Where’s my boy, @Dr Fear? This can be his new spreadsheet for the season.

I’m sure he realizes what’s going on on the field doesn’t really matter. Tag can stay until he’s dead as far as I’m concerned.

[Herbie Hancock 7,303]

No he can’t. Fuck TAG and fuck his cookie talk. He cost us the best thing we’ve had in the last 20 years in Josh Lewin not counting Beltre and Vlad.

Didn't do it, but I may have to start! Back of the envelope, you would be up about $800 if you had bet $100 on the opponent -1.5 every game.  You would be up about $400 if you had just bet $100 against them winning every game.  They were around even all of the Angels games except the one they won, around -135 for the Rockies games.

Fucking this. TAG is god awful. He is worse than the product the Rangers put on the field.

[shadow_operative2.0 15,824]

He gone.

brock burke to closer?

[shadow_operative2.0 15,824]

Balt, KC, Cincy, & Zona are the other scrub teams with 2 or 3 wins. They all have at least one save, us nada.

Sounds like we did him a solid. He hit 10 years service time this weekend, which guarantees him full pension for life. That’s a real big deal, other players will notice.

We don't even have a quality start yet.  Not sure if Texas is the only team without one though.

Only about half the teams have one. But for those teams, it's probably a result of the shorted sprint training limited pitch counts more than anything else.

[shadow_operative2.0 15,824]

Our first Dave Valle experience. 

[shadow_operative2.0 15,824]

Well, that will certainly hurt our QS chances tonight too. 

[shadow_operative2.0 15,824]

Haha, QS officially gone. 

[shadow_operative2.0 15,824]

Is Valle crying? 

[dcar00 14,030]

bullpen'd

[shadow_operative2.0 15,824]

Bullpen'd.

this is gonna get worse...this team is flat awful.  they can easily have the worst record in baseball by end of season.

[shadow_operative2.0 15,824]

Where'd WHO go?! 

[dcar00 14,030]

Moore looks like a guy they brought up from the accounting department for a tryout

[CowtownHorn 5,126]

Over/under on number of games this season when Woodward is canned? 30, 40, and 50?

Is it a Woodward issue? I don't care one way or another about keeping him on but is any manager going to do a better job with this shit sandwich of a bullpen?

Shit I don’t know but after spending a bazillion dollars this off-season…a 6 and 24 or 8 and 32 start isn’t going to sit very well with the Rangers brass. Somebody will have to fall on the sword. I know it’s probably a pipe dream but I’d love to see Beltre run this team. I’d at least be excited again.

[shadow_operative2.0 15,824]

Don't forget they did this, so he's likely safe all season.

Right... I knew there was a reason I figured he'd be safe regardless.

[shadow_operative2.0 15,824]

On the plus side, this game was relatively quick.

Arlington voted to give ownership half a billion for their stadium in like Nov of 16..... the Rangers have responded with a big ol FU in the following seasons since then!!!

[Pato del Muerto 52,340]

Cool but I’m not sure about a prospect that runs like Jake Taylor. 
 

maybe it’s a Mel hall victory lap?

Ibanez is already losing a fair amount of PT.

Said the same thing to my son..

He could have crab-crawled over there in time. 

 

[shadow_operative2.0 15,824]

And just because we hate nice things. 

 

[shadow_operative2.0 15,824]

We need to ask bl for a special emoji so we don’t have to fucking type bullpen’d every goddamn night. 

[crum 524]

bunch of trash cans as pitchers so sad. bats havent been any better today though

[Gucci_Suit 2,610]

This is a very bad organization. Very bad. 
 

I blame Jon
