2019 Texas Rangers Thread

[Vic Mackey 47394]

Starts tomorrow! I know we are going to suck but opening day is always a blast. And this year we get an opponent in the Cubs we don't play that often. 

[Jameslaw121 4455]

20.5 hours. Tomorrow is my favorite day of the year

Agree. Opening day is always a great time . We are tailgating in Lot N fyi

[SuingToGetAMessageBoard? 3861]

SI predicts 69 wins.  I’ll take the under. 

[Elmer_Fudd 22644]

We blasted Lester on Opening Day several years.  Let's do it again!

[Jameslaw121 4455]

I'm going with 75 wins and that only one of our current starts is still on the roster next year

Other than Norm, I can't think of anyone else I would have liked to do this

This is the year...

[Surly Bevo 25539]

This is the year...

We close the Ballpark...

[idigTexas 2297]

Let's enjoy not being in last place for at least a day or two.

I think this will end up being a pretty fun team. Joey, Rougie and Maz...time to be great

I think we'll score some runs. Just not enough to win.

Is that the same lot as I met yall at 3 years ago?

[Zepol87 9263]

The time we got super fucked up and had all the cholas dancing in the grass? Close to there but different group of people.

They should hang this in the stadium.

Do you have a shortcut key programmed with this response?  If not you should for time savings. 

[TheFlagship 466]

Let’s do this shit

[Trey3216 15381]

and Elvis does indeed walk up to 'Baby Shark'  

[Skipper 6325]

Color me SHOCKED the Rangers organization apparently completely failed at opening day logistics. Sounds like it was an absolute mess parking and 60-90 minutes lines getting in the stadium (with many still trying to get in).  I was tempted to go last minute as friends had an extra but new baby at home and didn't want to play that card yet.   Really glad I didn't.

[TheFlagship 466]

Nice start for Mike

[TheFlagship 466]

Damn Elvis!

[Zepol87 9263]

Elvis dropped dick on that

Getting in the ballpark was so fucked

Looks like you weren’t alone

[mdmost 43321]

Things were going great for 4 innings. 

[TheFlagship 466]

I like the quick hook

[mdmost 43321]

And from bad to worse. 

[TheFlagship 466]

Or not 

[Get ln My Van 927]

Gonna be a long season with this pitching staff, boys.

[markstanco 12673]

At least we knee it already.

[Firemans4Horn 18314]

How’s the 2020 draft looking?

[Surly Bevo 25539]

I think it is going to turn out that having a rotation stocked with 5th man in types isn't going to go real well.....just a hunch

[Gucci_Suit 2688]

What’s our magic number?

[SuingToGetAMessageBoard? 3861]

Getting run ruled opening day.  

[Bruh Man 3160]

this team sucks!

[Surly Bevo 25539]

Like how we got to our 6th pitcher and said fuck it....

[Vic Mackey 47394]

This will put a damper on our World Series chances...

[Surly Bevo 25539]

Sanka....you dead mon?

[markstanco 12673]

This will put a damper on our World Series chances...

I am going with the GM and not this game.

[dcar00 14616]

the good news is our starting pitchers are all the same 5th in the rotation guy so you don't have to plan  your watching around whether the #1 or #2 starts.

This season is going to be an absolute disaster.  JD is pretty meh these days.

Yup it was bad. I got in the STH line at 2 and didn't get to the gate until 2:45.

[DougO 5257]

On the bright side, Elvis is on pace to hit 162 home runs this year.

[mdmost 43321]

Trying to think if yesterday was a bigger opening day kick to the nuts than last season which opened with Hamels giving up the home run on the first AB.

Went in at the 3rd base side. They weren't even asking for tickets after security, people just walked in

[TheFlagship 466]

If yesterday was any indication, the bullpen is going to be horribad. Jesse Chavez is supposed to be a setup man and he was awful. And the other guys...i follow the rangers pretty closely, but Kyle Bird, Kyle Dowdy, Jeanmar Gomez...since when were these guys on the team?! Can Leclerc pitch 5 innings every day?

They are all terrible and they are all going to be worn down.  I'd be surprised if we average 4 innings a start.  That leaves 15 outs for those dudes every game.  We need to play a bunch of away games just to reduce it to 12.

We might have to do some opener shit just to get the “starters” into the 6th.
