    Did that exchange make sense to you?

    Yes it did. I don't kiss anyone's ass because of who or what they are. I never have except in certain work related situations when I had to and I had to defer to some pretty obnoxious people. That happens when you work with congressional staff. I guess I've gotten numb. I grew up the son of a very prominent person in a small town. I heard some unbelievable shit about friends and relatives. I never asked for breaks and favors and didn't expect any. In fact, people were tougher on me because of who I was. As a result, I guess I just don't care.

    See ya.

    There are longstanding rumors that Chip Brown is your typical old school sports reporter. By that, I mean he's allegedly a degenerate gambler and alcoholic.

    There's a longstanding rumor that Chip Brown has been paid to write hit pieces about Texas as an "insider" by benefactors of other programs, particularly Oklahoma and one of their donors in Dallas with ties to Brown from his DMN days. Usually, these hit pieces are very well timed. The fucking star of OU's defense for 2021 will be Nik Bonnito. Bonnito was torn between Texas and OU before SD1 a few years back. Herman and staff believed he gave them a silent. OU needed a backer. Magically, a day or two before SD1, Chip Brown writes a hit piece on Texas' culture as a program. This document gets emailed to Bonnito and mom, and then they have a conference call with OU. He never returned another Texas call, text or email, signed with OU, and has become a star. 

    There's also the simple fact that Chip Brown has been historically wrong repeatedly. 

    So you have a guy that can't respect the HC enough to call him anything but a nickname, as though they're that familiar, with a penchant for being fundamentally wrong and habits that lead to him being compromised by enemies and effectively on another staff's payroll whenever they need him to fuck us. 

    Sarkisian learned from Saban to be very paranoid about the media. Allegedly he had write-ups done on the regular reporters for the staff in the first few weeks. Then he froze out his staff from talking to reporters outside of scheduled press. I'm guessing he was educated on Brown early, and he's rightly not going to cultivate any kind of relationship with him. 

    The bigger question is why CDC continues to use Chip Brown as a mouthpiece when he, in fact, fucking knows better. 

    I've always thought there is some kind of connection between Kurt Bowels and Cow Chip Brown.

    Fuckin' press fags.

    Leody down. 

    And we’re losing. 

    I only feel better when I realize that I already know this team sucks and the only reason I watch them, at times, is because I have nothing better to do and almost everything else on the teeeeeveeeee sucks worse than the Texas Rangers. If there something interesting on like a good nature documentary or Naked and Afraid: Midget Circus Acrobats in the Amazon Basin, I'll change the channel every time. 

  4. Well, it's once again time to mention that the Rangers, as expected, are a bunch of noddle brained, meat heads and pussies at the plate. Goddamn they suck.

    Let's see if that works.

    maybe. or, hear me out...maybe very few movies were released last year and maybe even fewer people actually went to see them. 🤨

    Yeah. I think that is probably part of it.

    Shortened games today are frustrating. Looks like their bullpen quality drops off fairly quickly and 4 innings shaved off gives us fewer ABs to work into them

    What is the logic behind shortened games at this level? Seems unnecessary.

    Oklahoma State can put up a lot of runs. These could be intense, high scoring games, much like the TCU/Oklahoma State series.

    Big 12 refs have consistently fucked Texas over decades before Herman was old enough to patronize titters.

    Look at Grant Teaff’s last game vs UT as an example.

    Yep and other Texas teams, if they are in contention for a title or major bowl bid. Talk to TCU fans.

    Beginning is the key.  Why pitch to Gallo when you can make a younger, less dangerous hitter make you pay.   They will continue to not pitch to Joey until the young guys consistently succeed in making them pay.  

    Yeah... and it is very early in the long major league season. I've never been an optimist. I'm just happy to see the Rangers show a pulse.

    Aside from there seriously being no one on the team to protect Gallo, I just think he is what he is.   He’s seeing the ball better (hence the walks), but he’s never gonna be a .260 guy.  Best hope is a .240 guy that walks 140 times and hits 35 HR.  

    I'm not sure about that, yet. A few guys on this team - Garcia, Lowe, and Solak - are beginning to look like pretty good hitters.

    Looking at some stats, Rangers have the best ERA in the AL for the starters at 3.16 and next to worst in AL reliever ERA at 5.59 [Tigers at 6.99, ouch].

    OPS is next to last in AL at .644 just ahead of the Yankees at .640.  The slugging is killing them, they are just below middle of the AL in average and OBP.

    Next to last in AL in run differential at -14 [Tigers -28].  [A weird outlier is the Twins -2 differential with a 6-10 record].  

    Folty goes today, he has been their worst starter, 0-3 in his starts, his record is 0-3.

     

     

     

     

    Good stuff. So far, they kind of remind me of a not as good version of old Astro teams I followed as a kid and teenager during the '70s - good to very good pitching and defense but an overall weak hitting line-up that struggled to score and had to try to scratch out a few runs in any way possible to support some really good pitching and defense.
