They're afraid of the incoming storm, I guess. 

[shadow_operative2.0 15950]

Never a doubt, bros. 

 

Leiter day tomorrow. 

[gofuckyourself 8208]

It worked again. Y'all are welcome.

[Firemans4Horn 18036]

There you go Kirby

[Herbie Hancock 7345]

Fuck yeah!

[mdmost 43001]

BOOM! Nice job, Kirby!

[beer 3220]

The cell on the south side looks nasty. 

[HuntinHorn 975]

Kirby kickin' that ass!  Nice to have a closer with a close out pitch!   Nice win!

[Pato del Muerto 52487]

Between the bullpen and the offense, it’s tough for a SP to get a win

with all of the seeing eye balls that've gotten through and all of the bad umpiring that's gone against us, our bullpen ERA this year is 3.85, good for 13th out of 30 teams.  

you might double check your information. Fangraphs has the Rangers bullpen at 4.96 ERA. 23/30. 
 

 

[Constant 6724]

Good scrappy win. Let’s make it two in a row tomorrow. Leiter day.

thanks for the correction, my #s were total pitching ERA.  doesn't change the fact though that we didn't exactly sit on our laurels this offseason wrt bullpen improvements.

btw.. 4.96 ERA has us 15th out of 30.  dead in the middle.  

 

[Vic Mackey 47012]

Great win!

[JOSEYWALES66 1801]

Robertson is going to end up with starter type innings for the year at this pace. 

[ztejas 43414]

Nice W.

[ConferenceRoom 6141]

Bad juju.

Don’t jinx it, bro. 

[ConferenceRoom 6141]

Well, I didn't at him. I figured there was something I missed along the way.

Leiter experiences 'whirlwind of emotions' with MLB callup

Quote

He said the amount of people coming to Comerica Park for the 1:10 p.m. ET game on Thursday is "at like 30."

Actual attendance tomorrow will be AT LEAST 50.

Who was the last SP prospect that gave us this much hope? Chi Chi?

Hope at the time of call-up?  Unsure. Hope as prospects there was the DVD trio.

Hearn? Hans Crouse? Hearn had about the same hypothetical ceiling as Jack. Crouse a little lower.

[shadow_operative2.0 15950]

What?! Hearn was never a stud prospect. 

[BigDHornfan 6545]

ready for night baseball again after today.  I've had to actually talk to my wife the last couple of nights.  

[shadow_operative2.0 15950]

Leiter, let’s do thi thing. 

[shadow_operative2.0 15950]

Thank jesus, Brock is dead.

wasn't his ceiling a #2 or #3? in any case i woke up excited today for first pitch.  i know i didn't wake up excited when hearn made his first appearance. 

[Constant 6724]

Feel like Leiter is going to drop his nuts on Detroit today. 

[BehoId, The Underminer! 11669]

today's the big day

[shadow_operative2.0 15950]

Let’s fucking ride.

Lotta buildup for a pitcher.
