  1. Would help if we didn't keep having 1 pitch ABs.
  2. Chandler on Brown's comments re: a Tucker extension:
  3. The A's forgot to A's. Let's go pickup a game tonight.
  4. Let's not forget all the glowing coverage from the Brady Aiken contact negotiations.
  5. Maybe they're betting a few people will miss that three day window and they'll get paid?
  6. Although this is the best way to warm them, you can also put them in a toaster if you're pressed for time. or just don't want to wait for a comal to heat up.
  7. Aside from injuries, which the Rangers have had their fair share of too, the biggest difference in the division has been our propensity to play down to the level of our competition. For example, we are 4-3 against the lowly White Sox; 2-4 against the Twins; 1-2 against Detroit; and 0-3 against the Reds. Granted, the Twins and Reds aren't bad teams, but being 7-12 against those four teams is flat out unacceptable. Even on the rare occasions when the Rangers have stumbled against a bad team, e.g., losing a series against the Nationals, we respond by dropping 3 of 4 to the Mariners the same weekend. In a close division race, the team that beats the teams they are supposed to and doesn't give away winnable games will typically come out on top. That hasn't been us so far. Hopefully that'll change going forward. Starting Friday and running through September 3rd, we should be favored in every game we play. Over those 22 games, we really need to go 16-6 or better. If we don't, I don't think we will win the division, and, frankly, if we don't, we don't deserve to win it.
  8. Would like to see us put up a crooked number against Middleton.
  9. Oh Helo's here? I guess we just must have ourselves an asshole shortage, huh?
  10. Can't pass up the chance to have him pitch another no-hitter in New York.
  11. Yeah, I do. But it doesn't work that way anymore. There is one trade deadline now.
  12. Counts against the Mets and not against us.
  13. JV makes us better this year and next. But the Mets better be eating a ton of that contract, and we better be prepared to then use that money to sign Tucker. Otherwise, what an massively inefficient move this will have been.
  14. Gilbert and Clifford. Maybe we should have just signed JV this offseason.
  15. Fucking Bob. It has to be a bit at this point right?
  16. I think there is a 0% chance we get anything meaningful out of Brantley this season.
  17. Sounds like Baltimore is in on him too. Can't imagine Kate would want anything to do with Baltimore. Maybe someone needs to show her some clips from The Wire just to be sure.
  18. Adding JV, assuming he stays healthy for the life of his contract, would also shore up the rotation for next season. Garcia likely won't be back until after the break and who knows if we will ever get anything from LMJ again. Windows don't stay open forever. This may be a very different team after 2024.
