Probably should have IBB’d trout with the bases loaded too. 

No you idiot, that would have guaranteed them a run. Never give up just one run when you can give up 4!

just horrible pitches. hanging bullshit right over the plate all inning.  been pleasantly surprised with the starting pitching. not great but not a disaster.

Well, if they'd like to get back to .500 anytime soon, no given the Rangers were the ones with the base loaded. Not sure why the offense went to shit after game 1 in Anaheim.

I hate bringing in closers in non save situations. It shouldn't matter but it does too often. It's all mental for them. Still, he's in a funk right now. Hope he can get these final 2 outs and get out of here with a win.

The fans hate going to turf, but at least the players hate it.

Gallo, who played center on Tuesday and was in left field on Wednesday, said it would be difficult to envision playing 81 games a season on the turf as it is now. There is expectation that this is just temporary and that the field will mature with usage.

"It was a bit concerning," Gallo said. "I thought it would a little different than it was, but it felt just like any other turf. We talked to some of [the Arizona] players, and they said to be ready to ice your legs."

Said Mazara: "It doesn't [feel] right, right now. It was a little too soft, and I feel like I sunk in a little."

Unless I missed a lot of these things, I don't remember the Ballpark hosting non-baseball things outside of an occasional concert till this year. But come on, the new place is going to be used for all kinds of shit because it's indoors and you don't have to worry about killing the grass. That was definitely a factor in the grass/non-grass issue. It will be quite ironic if we spent years hearing players don't want to come to Arlington for the heat only to get that solved and players don't want to come here because the player surface sucks and possibly shortens their careers.
