March 31, 20241 yr You didn’t even challenge these guys. Just missed wildly all inning. Same as Thursday night.
March 31, 20241 yr 9 bb issued by rangers pitching against 6 k’s. Not going to win many games with those stats.
March 31, 20241 yr I’d rather see 50 year old David Robertson pump strikes than Leclerc pussy foot around every 9th inning.
March 31, 20241 yr Bullpen not quite up to their postseason standards yet of terror-inducing but still effective.
March 31, 20241 yr Blah. Flirted with this all day and it finally happens. We’ve left 8 or so on base as well.
March 31, 20241 yr Leclerc has thrown 24 strikes out of 53 pitches and issued 5 walks in 1 2/3 so far this season.
March 31, 20241 yr 2 minutes ago, ConferenceRoom said: Bottom half of the order is going to have to nut up. Of course the top half is going to have to do its job. Awful ab, Josh.
March 31, 20241 yr 2 minutes ago, ConferenceRoom said: Of course the top half is going to have to do its job. Awful ab, Josh. game was over after the top half of the inning.
March 31, 20241 yr Just now, Firemans4Horn said: game was over after the top half of the inning. Well, yeah. Galaxy Quest and all.
March 31, 20241 yr Outside of the 1st and 9th innings, that was ok. .667 so I'll adjust my wins prediction to 108.
March 31, 20241 yr Leclerc has thrown 24 strikes out of 53 pitches and issued 5 walks in 1 2/3 so far this season. Le Pew in mid season form.
March 31, 20241 yr 3 hours ago, Constant said: Some good bullpen work today. *knock on wood* the wood must have been fake... I'm sure there are some analytics on LeClerc that say he's awesome and we'd be stupid to let him go but do we have to keep doing this?

April 1, 20241 yr 3 minutes ago, Constant said: I spoke way too soon. I hope we don’t keep doing this. And I was going to respond to your comment yesterday about you feeling less worried about things now with me feeling that way about LeClerc. But it's not the playoffs/World Series any more. The worry about him has returned.
April 1, 20241 yr Oh tampa. When your fan base is so old you have start times before 7pm to draw them in.
April 1, 20241 yr Seems even more amazing now how the Rangers survived such a shitty bullpen last year to win a Championship. LePew is back to normal. Rangers still need to get a semi legit closer somewhere.
April 1, 20241 yr if it comes down to it we have two break glass in case of emergency guys in robertson and yates who have experience and success closing games and a third in sborz who might have the makeup to be a closer we could trot out there in the 9th until we make a trade for someone.

Sborz was money early season and the playoffs but I'd assume they like to keep him as a setup/reliever -- where he's flourished, outside of injuries. Early 2023 and postseason totals per DMN were 36 2/3 innings, 0.74 ERA, 46 strikeouts, 8 walks, 14 hits allowed. 23 of 26 outings were scoreless. Maybe he can mentor LeWildThing at least.
April 1, 20241 yr Apparently fans are calling for the in-house DJ to be fired because they got rid of the cotton eyed joe and the game winning song played at the end of the game lol
April 1, 20241 yr Leody needs to take some bunting practice.., and base running practice…, and fielding practice…, and batting practice.
April 1, 20241 yr I was unfamiliar with the pitcher we’re facing tonight, so I looked into him a little. He was picked up in a trade from the Dodgers, he has a small sample size in the majors, but it’s impressive. In 42 innings last year, he had 38 strikeouts to just 5 walks with an ERA of 2.14 and a WHIP of 0.76. We definitely need to take advantage of opportunities when they’re presented. Bruce probably saw these stats (and much more) and immediately called Leody into his office with some ‘fuck you’ news.
April 1, 20241 yr Josh crushed that. He has been very impressive to start the year. Lineup becomes devastating if he mashes like that and takes walks.
April 1, 20241 yr 3 hours ago, shadow_operative2.0 said: Only bad part is having to watch 3 games there. We went to a game last summer before going to Clearwater and it was the worst professional sports atmosphere I've ever witnessed. We left early and thought we'd see the sting ray on the way out, and someone spilt a beer in the pool, so it was put away. Straight ass.
