Texas Rangers 2023 - They're Still Shitty?

[shadow_operative2.0 16181]

Fuck yeah Cuban, make up for your awful defense tonight. 

[shadow_operative2.0 16181]

Fuck yeah!!!!!!!! 

[Radical Larry 28814]

That ball was crushed.

[mdmost 43851]

Well that was fun. 

[fellside 1135]

Unnecessarily stressful but fun as hell.

[shadow_operative2.0 16181]

Bochy said Jonah would sit tomorrow when we activated Leon, gonna be tough to follow through after that, 

[Fudbelty 2801]

Still in first place. Fuck yeah!

[Ghost of LL 15664]

I don’t know if they’re not shitty, but at least they’re fun.

I guess if it's going to happen it's better to happen now, but damn that is some shitty luck. Top of the order was grooving. 

[shadow_operative2.0 16181]

More booze! 

Quote

Thanks to the pitch clock, the action is moving much faster at Major League Baseball games.

It also means a little less time for fans to enjoy a frosty adult beverage.

To combat that time crunch, at least four teams -- the Arizona Diamondbacks, Texas Rangers, Minnesota Twins and Milwaukee Brewers -- have extended alcohol sales through the eighth inning this season. 

——

The Rangers allowed some alcohol sales in the eighth inning last season but have made that option more widely available in 2023. The team said the move to offer in-seat service to everyone -- fans can order on their phones -- was done partly in reaction to the pitch clock and the potential of shorter game times so fans would not have to miss extended action waiting in lines at concession stands. 

[Fudbelty 2801]

My first thought was I always assumed alcohol sales ending mid 7 was a dwi thing. Second thought was if that’s true then they need to stop selling mid 6.

If you're not drunk as you walk into the game you're doin it wrong.

Now Zeke gets to stay. Leody will be up tomorrow to take Corey's spot. 

Yep, now we’ll see who hits 2-hole shortly. 

[shadow_operative2.0 16181]

Yikes, wasn’t expecting Josh there. Leody & Leon 8/9, poor Jonah.

Nate yack. 

[shadow_operative2.0 16181]

Defense & Eovaldi both sucking. 

[Herbie Hancock 7452]

Dear lord how slow is Miller? Spy would have easily had a standup triple out of that

He's more of a mudder.

[shadow_operative2.0 16181]

Besides Josh & Jankowski, all our whiteys are SLOW. 

[ztejas 44114]

Probably gonna need some bats tonight. 

[shadow_operative2.0 16181]

Jesus fucking shit, defense.

Damn this stream is way behind. 

[Elmer_Fudd 22959]

That's an error, but the one earlier that was booted was not.

[ztejas 44114]

Hell of an error for the catcher to pick up. 

[Elmer_Fudd 22959]

Doesn't appear to be our night.

[shadow_operative2.0 16181]

Yep, good thing the Stars are playing well on TNT. 

[Herbie Hancock 7452]

Leon is terrible. Please make it stop

[Herbie Hancock 7452]

And we have officially been pizza'd by a team that is sub-Mendoza line. Fuck

2 out of 3.  The royals looked dead in the water the first 70% of this series, but when we switched to our bullpen in game 2 they started having pretty good at bats. It looks like that carried over to game 3.  Hopefully we can take 2 or maybe sweep them next week tho.

I know it's early in the season, but I think it's time to stop  with the Taylor Hearn experiment...

[shadow_operative2.0 16181]

^ And there was much rejoicing!

[Elmer_Fudd 22959]

Sborz for Hearn, so things will stay about the same.

[shadow_operative2.0 16181]

Jankowski over Grossman. 

[ztejas 44114]

Too much shit on tonight I'm trying to watch. 

Early 1-0 lead in Houston. 

[shadow_operative2.0 16181]

Jankowski for Heisman. Unfortunately, Leody is up. 

[Herbie Hancock 7452]

Can we call him Sebastian because every time I see his name I see Janikowski.

[shadow_operative2.0 16181]

Morris calls him Travis the Jank. 

[shadow_operative2.0 16181]

Fuck yeah, Adolis! 

That’s gone. 

[shadow_operative2.0 16181]

Yeah, he’ll do that. 

[shadow_operative2.0 16181]

Adolis tried to drop it, then hosed that fool. 

[Herbie Hancock 7452]

That was a rather creative double play. He's no Vladdy or Laureano, but I'm not sure I would be testing Adolis' arm unless I were in dire straits

[Herbie Hancock 7452]

Hell of a dink there Marcus

[Herbie Hancock 7452]

That's good baseball right there

[shadow_operative2.0 16181]

Will Smith was traded for Odorizzi last year. We wind up with both, one died, one is pitching well.

[shadow_operative2.0 16181]

That a kid, Josh. 

[shadow_operative2.0 16181]

Good win, kids. 

6:10 next two nights. 

[Gucci_Suit 2809]

Hey there win column!

[Radical Larry 28814]

Ballgame!
