Watched most of it at the bowling lanes. Rangers played about like I bowled. Start sloppy, get decent, back to shitty, start making a run at it, looking good, and end up shitting the bed again with a spectacular collapse.

"I thought they would be a little bit tighter as a group. I thought it'd be like my experience in Atlanta. Everyone wanted to pull on the same rope, everyone wanted to hangout and do everything together. Winning was the most important thing. Everyday. 

When I got in the clubhouse in Texas. There's a lot of talent in there and there's a lot of individual stuff going on. A lot of guys are doing their own thing. You might not see people until the game. Guys are just kinda doing their own thing. 

Not a lot of BP. Not a lot of stretching together. Maybe for me, just being the outcast -- it's a lot of the same guys that won the World Series -- so maybe I was kinda on the outside. I was looking for more of a way to get in that inner circle and that comes through stretching and BP where you talk about things that aren't baseball and you get to know guys."

Was it about a month ago when I told you he didn’t appear to speak to anyone, ever, at any time? And always had a look on his face and in his eyes like he could burst into tears at any second. Maybe what he’s saying has merit, but he didn’t seem all in either.

I would call it the opposite of hard to believe but, okay. 

Just that it happens fast. Jung had one of the worst Junes ever. Before that, I don’t think this was on anyone’s radar

I'm not particularly concerned with anything he has to say. He was so bad for us that he decided to retire. 

I don't think anyone is pretending like we've had an awesome season but CY and Bochy have been throwing a ton of stuff at the wall to try and figure shit out. It's not like we're some despondent team just going through the motions that doesn't give a fuck about winning. 

If changes need to be made they'll be made - but watching our guys it's hard to think that they don't give a shit. I'm guessing there's a lot of frustration stemming from how last season turned out and how this season has gone. Maybe that's what he walked into.
