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

i'm beginning to believe.  i think it's chapman that put me over the edge.  you need something that inspires awe.  we had cliff lee.  we had beltre's d.  up until chapman we were just a bunch of good players winning a bunch of games.  you need one dude though that can tell the other side to get proper fucked.

Chapman filled a huge whole in the bullpen. And if you’re going to compete for the postseason nowadays, you need a salty bullpen.

Rangers getting lucky so far that he resembles the Chapman of old and not recent years while struggling with injuries. If he can keep it up, the little Rangers could have a fun October. Fingers crossed.

Need another reliable bullpen piece. Don’t know if it will come via trade or call up, but it’s still deficient. 

I don't know. I think we might be fine if Sborz comes back and everyone stays healthy. We got back to back bad outings by Leclerc and Anderson last night and maintained a 2 run cushion. 

Not saying they shouldn't find another arm at the deadline - but I think we're about as good as anyone right now save ATL.

MLB Trade Rumors podcast talking about Stroman and Bellinger to the Rangers would tip them to the favorites in the AL.

Boy, that would be nice.

I have dreams of seeing Ohtani in a Rangers uniform, but I don't think it's going to happen.  So the best thing in the alternative may be for the Angels just to hold him and get nothing.

Cubs have some very interesting relievers, too. The problem is that there aren't going to be a ton of teams selling this year, so prices will be higher than normal.

I have a feeling that one team is going to decide that Ohtani can go win a WS for them and pay a fortune. They may not even be wrong.

I have to say, compared to the last several years…it’s fun as shit to even be discussing stuff like this at this point in the season. All is right in the world when the Rangers are good. 

Yup. It's mid-July and I'm over here Googling stuff like "mlb tv + vpn" (I live in Houston).

MLB.tv dropped to $47.99 for the rest of the year a few days ago. My VPN works great.

I'm pretty seriously looking into it. One question - if I get a VPN and put it on my router and tell it I'm in Uzbekistan or whatever, is it going to mess up the rest of my streaming services? I know that Netflix for example is getting picky about where people are located because of account sharing.

It probably will for some apps, I use a second router plugged into the main, so you have to switch wireless networks on your TV device for MLB. MLB does seem to not care if you forget to switch, see a blackout, switch networks and come right back.

You can change your VPN IP whenever you want. You can have it be Uzbekistan for Rangers games and Croatia for Netflix. Some sites/services will restrict VPN use, though. I believe Netflix is one of those.
