My kid was born and I looked up to see Adolis rounding the bases on the TV in the room.  That's a good night

Haven’t been this excited to pick up the Dallas Morning News in a long time. Add it to the collection. The last titles my teams have won.

Man, how I wish my dad could have been here to see this. Biggest Rangers fan ever. I was on the phone with him in 2011 when we needed one more strike. I’ve never heard such a crushed, disappointed rea

Goddamn son, read the thread. Zeke is IL'd, they ain't cutting their backup C for an OF. 

In defense of Fear, I'd rather see us put Jank behind the dish than see fat leon back there ever again. Fucker looks better suited to be running the discount tire in Lake Worth than playing C for the first place Texas Rangers.

He got a new store. He’s GM of the new Hudson Oaks on 180.

Ok, is it time to start believing in this team?

We aren't winning shit in the playoffs with our pitching depth. 

But we're competitive and fun to watch for the first time in awhile and I'll drink to that.

There's been talk of when Jake gets back, of keeping Dunning in the rotation and moving Jake to the closers role.  Protect his innings and someone solid on the back end, little like the Braves did with Smoltz towards the end of his career.

That's either the best idea in the world, or the worst.  And really it depends on if Dane stays effective as he has been.

Yeah, there hasn’t been ‘talk’ of that, just some idiot replies on Twitter. Smoltz was a starter the last 5 years of his career. 

 

 

I literally listened to conversations on talk radio about it last week.  Human beings with their mouths.

I feel like either the studio guys (bascik/buechele/mclemore) or Dave and whichever analyst were talking about maybe having him in the bullpen to build back up instead of a rehab stint in round rock.  Don’t remember if it was just them talking, or if they had heard from the organization that it was being considered. 
 

but yeah that’s different than keeping him there as the closer.

I'm not saying I'm knee deep gung ho for any of it, but it's an interesting topic considering his pattern of continually getting stretched out and hurt.
