So nobody gives a flip about Josh Hamilton joining the Rangers HOF?  Me either.

Maybe if we lived in a true baseball town.

In first inning, Jurado takes eye off the ball at first base fucking up a nice double play. Instead of getting out of the inning with zero runs, he ends up giving up six. Package him and Jon Daniels for a half million new fans to be won later.

RAngers have battled back. Close fucking game. 9-7, Trevino on first. Deep fly ball bounces off wall, slow-fuck Trevino tries to make it home. Uh uh. Instead of runners on 2nd and 3rd no outs. It's 3rd one out . He never scores.

Pitching seems a little bit off.

Took the kids out to the game last night since this was the last weekend before school starts. The Josh speech was as awkward in person as it must've looked on TV.

He went on the tv broadcast for an inning plus and it was magical.

3-1 count, chance to load the bases with two outs, and Odor swings at high outside pitch in the ninth. Takes the next pitch, of course, which is  lower and on the edge of the strike zone... ball game. He should be the designated last hitter.No discipline. Big contract or not, sit his ass on the bench. Everybody on this team is sharing time except this sob. Fuck Woodward.

Rangers, 3 runs on ten hits. Twins, six runs on eight. Odor 0-5. BA .204

Two errors, both by Santana, including a flat out dropped catch at first base. That kept Lynn on the mound in the first two or three innings -  and gave them runs.

LHP Brock Burke (part of the Profar trade) MLB debut in the early game.  Nice comeback last night.

I would make a Brooke Burke joke, but I don't think the youngsters would get it.

Looks like today’s special for Angels game is “buy a seat, get a section” at Globe Life Park

[Irish Wrist Watch 1349]

Pence hitting .560 on this home stand. Has been on fire.  .666 on base percentage.

 

Heaney: 48 pitches thru five. Nobody wants to be out in this heat, especially the Rangers. Elvis taking first game off.

Solak gets his first big league hit in game 1 and just misses his first homer in the second inning of the night game - deep to straightaway center.

Solak, First Homer in Fourth!

Odor's last at bat, 2-2 count, he steps aside to rip a piece of tape off the handle. Steps back in and swings at the usual high pitch. He should worry less about tape.

Maybe he should start batting right handed, and start over from scratch.

She is/was no joke. Fappity, fap, fap, fap.

[Irish Wrist Watch 1349]

When Solak got the "hit" that won the game on Tu nite, it was quite a celebration afterward. Scored the tying run tonight in the eighth.

 

https://www.mlb.com/rangers/news/nick-solak-hits-first-big-league-homer

 

He's 2 for 3 with one BB. Scored three times tonight. Time to put him at second and forget about Odor (who managed a weak grounder to the pitcher pinch hitting tonight)

Nice fun win, despite Minor sucking.

[DougO 5239]

The kiddos are looking pretty good. Calhoun has been very hot. Get a legit catcher, couple of pitchers and next year could look hopeful.

Picked up a game on Houston...

Willie is a professional hitter.  It appears Solak might have a chance to be as well.

Who knows what happens between now and next April but as it stands I want Solak and Willie hitting in front of Joey

 

They're two top rated-ish prospects are an 80grade CF (Leody) and a catcher that should probably start next year in Frisco (Huff).  Not to mention Jung and Apostel who is demolishing High A as a 20 year old.  On Base in 22 straight games.

You don't have to squint to see a pretty good core.

 

 

[Irish Wrist Watch 1349]

...and with a lot of hard work, Odor could up his average next year to the .220 range.

Did we win 3 out of 4 against the Angels on walkoffs?

On Mon game 2, Falafal beats out infield single allowing Trevino to score from third in the 11th inning. Long hot fucking day.

Solak looks like a nice pickup

Won 3 by 1 run each, lost 1 by 4. Run diff is negative for the series, we suck. 

[El Diablo 4232]

Pitcher on Tuesday didn't get the W but got 6 shutout innings in his first MLB outing. With Palumbo going down he's going to get more starts and I'm intrigued.

[Post Oak 20184]

Yep. Looked cool and calm.  Liked what I saw.

Hate that Palumbo can't stay healthy because he seems to have the best stuff.

I thought I was in a fever dream for a second seeing that we won last night 8-7 on a walkoff. 

This is what happens when I quit watching.

I really like the Kenny Rogers bobble head.

[Irish Wrist Watch 1349]

Bad call on the challenge. His foot was firmly on the base when the glove slammed into his leg.

These commentators suck so much dick.

Rugie Ofor.

[Voldemort86 2259]

I hate watching the big stink play baseball 150+ games a year.  Why can’t they cut this fuckers playing time?  Santana or solak can do better.

[Bozo_Casanova 26279]

Man, I really fucking dig the Rangers icy whites today.

[Irish Wrist Watch 1349]

Kelley is the worst pitcher in the league.

[Knoxtnhorn 5929]

.199

[Voldemort86 2259]

That little odor keeps falling down lower and lower. Man that guy sucks.

[Irish Wrist Watch 1349]

Yesterday, the bottom 4 hitters were  2 for 16. That includes Rugie Ofor, 0 for 4. If you ask me, Woodward wants to shove Rugie down Daniels' throat to make sure that the Rangers find a way to get rid of him before next year. Otherwise, he'd just stick his ass on the bench.

 

Solak was 2 for 4. Willie was 2 for 4.

Forsythe makes stellar play at third on hard hit grounder. Deep, three feet outside foul line, great throw. Nails speedy batter.
