TEXAS

[SuingToGetAMessageBoard? 3861]

> .500

[Vic Mackey 46856]

Fuck off Cubs.

[mdmost 42694]

First time over .500 since what 2016?

[idigTexas 2258]

O/U on number of games we win when scoring fewer than 6 runs.  Is 25 too high?

I say that sounds reasonable but I’d still take the under.  30th in team ERA right now, which is a trend I expect to continue. Probably 20 wins is about where I’d draw the line.

 

i don’t expect to keep people under 6 runs for half our games.  That makes 81.  Half of those we probably score under 6 as well.  And half of those we win.  And I think I’m erring in the Rangers favor on the 81 number.

Has Chavez been DFA’d yet? That dude sucks and is a literal gas can. 

[Pato del Muerto 52228]

Figurative 

[Gucci_Suit 2604]

We give up 9.33 runs per game, but luckily we’ve got a home series against the last place team starting tonight. 

Here’s to #homeruns, #boobjobs, and feeling good all the time. 

[Irish Wrist Watch 1347]

Are any of these games going to be streamed (for free)? and if so, where? THX!

[TheFlagship 432]

Let’s fuck up these losers

[TheFlagship 432]

Way too many pitches Drew

[Fire Jack Chevigny 938]

Altuve being a bitch. Mid season form.

[TheFlagship 432]

CONDOR

[Vic Mackey 46856]

Fuck the Astros

[Post Oak 20174]

I generally hate the Rangers unis but the all white is the best IMO

 

I was listening to the Rangers on Deck podcast last week and one of the guys hinted that the Rangers may be working with the same design group who rebranded the Nashville Sounds.  

Hopefully, we get a rebrand and better unis for the new stadium.

[Billy Pilgrim 1905]

Fuck Bregman- cocky piece of shit

[mdmost 42694]

Wow. A pickoff. Nice. Good job by Sampson. 

[dcar00 14000]

time for some Ranger 9th inning magic

[dcar00 14000]

hope we can pull this one out.  would suck to lose when we hold someone to 2 runs.

[mdmost 42694]

Decent stuff out of Sampson considering the pitching for this season so far. 

[DougO 5238]

Sampson seems like the Rangers best starting pitcher option and he's not even starting.

He may have more innings than half our rotation since the majority of them can't make it through 4 innings.

[Irish Wrist Watch 1347]

Fucking JD

[SurlyBDR 22516]

I don't remember ever reading about this, regarding Shelby Miller. It turns out that his father, Mitch, was a fellow Brownwood firefighter and personal friend of Shannon Stone. Mitch will be in attendance for Shelby's first Rangers start tonight.

The Assman does it again

[mdmost 42694]

These short starts are going to take some getting used to.

Hopefully it’s a little better against teams with weaker lineups

[mdmost 42694]

NIce triple by Choo. Ballsy choice to go on that.

[mdmost 42694]

Really shocked they didn't pull Verlander already. Nice 5th so far. 

[Trey3216 15321]

BTB singles by Elvis and Mazara!

Yep. I’m at the game. Astros fans are pissed. Verlander doesn’t have it. Men on first and second, no outs, and 4 lefties in a row coming up. Thought they would pull him. Mazara made them pay. 

[Fire Jack Chevigny 938]

Chavez has been hot garbage.

[TheFlagship 432]

Healthy Elvis ftw

[TheFlagship 432]

There ya go Joey

[SurlyBDR 22516]

Nice fucking hustle Joey 

[mdmost 42694]

Above .500 again. Nice win. Bats came alive when needed and the pitching wasn't too wheels off. 

[Happy Gilmore 1001]

I like this Chris Woodward guy so far. 

[Vic Mackey 46856]

Haha fuck you Houston.

[Billy Pilgrim 1905]

How does Chavez keep getting opportunities in games that are still in doubt? Any scrub in triple-A would be better than this shithead.

[ztejas 43186]

They were replaying the game at lunch. LeClerc's 6 pitch save was pretty sweet. Closing on 25 straight scoreless innings. 

[Vic Mackey 46856]

 

[mdmost 42694]

Some great hitting this inning. Gallo with another walk. 

[SurlyBDR 22516]

Well Pence and Guzman just did whatever they wanted to Garrett Cole

[TheFlagship 432]

This is fun

[cactusflinthead 27588]

Swing and a miss. This pleases me.

This post made me click on the last page of the astros thread. There is some whining. Is this blue really that ridiculous?

His strike zone is terrible and he is starting fights with players. Don't think it has really affected the score though. Maybe the Astros have 1 with a decent ump.
