the season starts tonight!

[Planet Houston 4921]

Springer Motherfuckin’ Dinger!!!!

[UTexasFight 9365]

The house that Springer tore down

[TexArcher 37414]

Smyly hasn't pitched in like 14 years and he's coming up on 20 pitches in the first inning.

[Scraps 13518]

Green light

[Seasick Sailor 3747]

412 ft.

 

[Rimbo 25706]

wait...what? First career leadoff homer? I uh... wait... 

 

checks calendar

 

oh.

[UTexasFight 9365]

Death, taxes, Tom Izzo in March, and George Springer leading off in Arlington

[TexArcher 37414]

Love it when Rougie's out.

[SimonBolivar 10890]

So far this has been more fun.

[Tommy Nobis 905]

God damn the rangers stadium is pretty empty. Pretty pathetic playing a rival at home the first week of the season. MMP would be packed.

I'm heading up tomorrow

Not in 2013.

 

Edit:

For grins I checked.

Game 2 of the season opening series in 2013 against the rangers had 23k (the Marwin vs Yu game). Next night, 16k.

[SimonBolivar 10890]

Already at 50 pitches.

[UTexasFight 9365]

This team sucks against below 95 mph pitching

Yeah no.

[Seasick Sailor 3747]

 

[MirrOlure 14576]

So who declared that the strike zone box was necessary?

[Seasick Sailor 3747]

Carlos's hit was 112.1 off the bat.

[TexArcher 37414]

Nice swing, Guzman, but you still have boy band hair.

[WBT 20376]

Rangers still play that bush league natural song i see

[WBT 20376]

Looked out in real time.  Peacock seems like his UZR sucks.

[Honeysucklerose 957]

So at what point do we get concerned about this offense??? 2 weeks??? A month???

[henrygandorf 29169]

3 weeks.

altuve swinging at that shit in the dirt is not a great sign, even if he is healthy.

[Scraps 13518]

3 days ago

[Planet Houston 4921]

C’mon Carlos, don’t suck

[Planet Houston 4921]

Ding ding ding!!!

[WBT 20376]

Correa!! 

Let's try to get the leadoff double around and in this time.

The only reason to be concerned is if you think Altuve and Bregman will be terrible all year. 

It's not unusual for hitters to be slow to get into a rhythm out of the gate.  They'll be fine.

[henrygandorf 29169]

yuli inside outs every swing...until we have a runner at 2nd with nobody out.  zero situational hitting so far this season.

[cabowabo 4446]

We scored a run.   I’ll be damned. 

[Planet Houston 4921]

Chirinos!

[henrygandorf 29169]

thanks for the correction, chirinos.

[WBT 20376]

Lulz, 61 mph off the bat for that double by Chirinos.

[Scraps 13518]

T wizzle needs to get that 280lb load behind one and park it

[Planet Houston 4921]

Tyler White sucks. 

[TexArcher 37414]

How the hell do Major Leaguers still not know that you get to first faster by running through the bag?

[Honeysucklerose 957]

Tyler White sucks. 

Word

[Scraps 13518]

Tyler White sucks. 

So does this ump

[Sleepygrad 1029]

fuck

[Honeysucklerose 957]

Friggin A

[Scraps 13518]

Boom. Fuck off odor

[Seasick Sailor 3747]

Fuck you, Odor

[Honeysucklerose 957]

Sit your dwarf self down.

[clapclapclap 9000]

Chirinos is Febreze:  He got rid of the Odor.

man that's nice to see.

[Scraps 13518]

Peacock is Andrus daddy shark

[henrygandorf 29169]

great fucking outing bp.  would've rather you left with a 3-4 run lead, but here we are.

[SimonBolivar 10890]

I thought that was 3 outs too Brad.

[huge 3787]

Pretty good whip I guess
