  1. Closing is just a different thing.
  2. Thanks Burger. So far... I wonder if the long layoff from the previous inning might have made Maton tighten up a bit. Three pitch inning then wait way too long. Gotta manage that better.
  3. Burger flipped into a yuuuuge insurance run.
  4. Not in disagreement at all. But imagine if the Rangers had a decent regular closer, say top 1/3 of the league guy, they would have several more wins in in decent position. Yet it doesn't look like a team that would get far in any playoff, other than a repeat of everyone just getting scorching hot career streaks at the right time, like a couple of years ago.
  5. Another good one to miss tonight, if you have to. This team is a suckerpunch to the gut just when your guard is dropped.
  6. Double-Burger. Nice comeback. Needed that. Let's string some together.
  7. And Adolis just jousting with windmills...
  8. Fuckin' A, you magnificent fat bastard!
  9. YES!!! Hit the showers, Rhyne.
  10. Third time through for this kid.
  11. Climb back and get this bitch. Stop fucking around, Rangers.
  12. Damn, even Eovoldi shitting the bed now.
  13. I saw that Shoepf's in Belton made the TX Mo next-100 honorable mention list. Their Q is significantly better than Miller's which is still getting unjustly fluffed as a top 50 joint, where people go to get breakfast foo foo deserts and coffee. They scuttled their traditional wood burners a few years ago and went electric, tourists still flock in like pigeons, while Schoepf's crowd is modest to light. Expensive, but their food is dang good again, like the way early days, plus adding some nice specialty items. They also had their time of being not real good a ways back, but they revamped their methods in the last few years and they are doing it right. I just can't afford to eat there very often. I helped Miller's get on the map back in the day, but their notoriety after the move to the newer building success turned them into a tourist trap. Food is still pretty good, but it's a shame they threw away some of the best in Texas.
  14. Last few times i went was a few years ago and it was disappointing then. Not sure what it is now. It had its day of being great, and its day of being way overrated. Barbecue is like the stock market. Buy on the rumor, sell on the news.
  15. Well, there went a pretty dang decent run for a while. Good while it lasted.
  16. Joc batting cleanup was a no-brainer. LOL
  17. If you go to the NFL youtube channel they have condensed highlights of preseason games that give you most of the even marginally notable plays in about 12 minutes.
  18. Last decade? I would settle for most watchable.
  19. I used to love NFL preseason and gobble up all I could with every team I could watch. But it kept getting more and more lame as teams don't value any significant reps to players that will actually be on the team. I just like watching the young developing players and the unheralded underdog guys making good. But it has become mostly a waste of time Practice Squad audition to sell a few tickets to fans who can't afford the real games, and start media hype for the season from the paid yakkers. You don't learn much at all from preseason. The first few weeks of the season are the real preseason now, which is why is typically sloppy AF. But I still watch some until I get lulled to sleep.
  20. Need a win here yuuuuuugly, against all odds. Not the best matchup, but sometimes that's the way baseball go. Come on, Rangers.
