Texas Rangers 2024: Run It Back

[shadow_operative2.0 16289]

Now Adolis goes solo. 

[shadow_operative2.0 16289]

7-1, swell. 

[shadow_operative2.0 16289]

My bad, missed one, 8-1.

The team really responded to CYs "the time is now" statement.

[shadow_operative2.0 16289]

More stellar news.

Josh Jung is conflicted.

He wants to be back in the Rangers lineup. He understands he probably won’t be 100%. He isn’t certain, however, what percentage is good enough.

After a week of rest and a cortisone injection in his right wrist, Jung will try to swing again on Friday as the Rangers anxiously await his return to an offense that has underperformed all season. It is a “big test,” Jung said. On the verge of returning to the lineup last week, Jung dealt with inflammation in the area where his wrist was shattered by a pitch in April.

“My heart wants to be back out there, to help the team, especially when we are in kind of a rut,” Jung said Thursday. “What difference I can make, I don’t know. What percentage I’ll be, I don’t know. That’s where the [inner] conflict comes from.”

If batting practice goes well, the Rangers may consider “easing” him back onto the field, by playing him every other day or giving him a day off each series as he continues to build back strength.

really?  I thought he signed a 2 year deal?

hopefully he can revert to his mean at least.

I suspect they’ll move him while he has the perception of value. Don’t know.

He’s signed for $9.25M next year, but Rex will have to remind us he ‘knows’ CY.

Why in quotes?  I do. 

[shadow_operative2.0 16289]

Told you boys he had to remind us. Rex gonna Rex.

Altuve and Marcus are the finalists for 2nd base All-Star game voting. Going to be weird to host the All-Star game and only have 1 or 2 players in the game.

We cashed that check last year with damn near the whole IF. Shit happens. 

[CowtownHorn 5126]

Trying to hang in there for this season, but just don’t see it happening this year. I’m not getting any younger, so just thankful I got to see them win it all in my lifetime. And I don’t have to think about 2011 ever again. 

[mdmost 44110]

Banners fly forever. You can never take away the magical feeling of last season. 

[shadow_operative2.0 16289]

*Flags fly forever. 

Jesus shit. 

[gofuckyourself 9093]

We got any Augie Garrido style speeches we can deliver to the guys?

Hope the scouting dept has been doing their job. Time to acquire some prospects.

You can hear 105.3 out of Dallas almost all the time until Salado.  Sometimes on 90+% humidity or rainy days it’s scrambled.   

Thanks, I'll give it a try, but I don't think I've ever been able to pick that one up past Waco in my vehicle. I've driven back many times from D/FW listening to it on the way back to Bell County and had it crap out well before I get back.

[gofuckyourself 9093]

That might do it.

Scherzer committed the cardinal sin of allowing a run.

[AbeFroman 3130]

We are wearing this warning track out.

[beer 3294]

Ok this is looking like a rerun

[DougO 5267]

Good eye, Leody.

[AbeFroman 3130]

Shiit

[shadow_operative2.0 16289]

Please score. 

[shadow_operative2.0 16289]

Will be interesting to see who plays 1B, Zeke is the only other one that has logged an inning this year. Would assume Wendzel. 

[shadow_operative2.0 16289]

Brilliant AB. 

[shadow_operative2.0 16289]

Jank played a big part last year, but probably time to give him the ol’ DFA. He’ll always have his ring. 

[shadow_operative2.0 16289]

Jonah has been blisteringly awful too. 

[shadow_operative2.0 16289]

Not even fucking competitive.

Sorry, Max. 

[DougO 5267]

Man, the Rangers just seem to always catch teams at the wrong time...which is when they are playing the Rangers.

[Firemans4Horn 18533]

We’re going to have to sell off some arms next month. 

[CowtownHorn 5126]

[gofuckyourself 9093]

Obviously letting go of World Series lock Will Smith was too much to overcome.

[shadow_operative2.0 16289]

No Leody, big Fox tonight. 

 

[gofuckyourself 9093]

Corey has had enough of this shit.

[beer 3294]

Good omen

[Herbie Hancock 7502]

That’ll do donkey, that’ll do

[gofuckyourself 9093]

Just now, beer said:

Good omen

Or it's the only run they score tonight.

TBD

[shadow_operative2.0 16289]

Derek Hill, bitches. 

[shadow_operative2.0 16289]

Fucking great, we'll see Corey in '25. 

[dcar00 14995]

this season is a disaster.  

[Radical Larry 28826]

Can we go back to last season? That was fun. This is shit. 

[gofuckyourself 9093]

Just got home, what happened to Corey? I'm sitting down.

[gofuckyourself 9093]

Nevermind. Just saw the replay. Fucking great.

Hit on the left wrist. Immediately left the game. 

[Herbie Hancock 7502]

Bring Vicente back just to plunk any and everyone. Burn it down. Fuck everything

[gofuckyourself 9093]

Yeah, ain't our year.

[shadow_operative2.0 16289]

And a fucking salami right on top, unreal. 

[gofuckyourself 9093]

Wasn't even a terrible pitch. Pretty far inside.
