Gallo is currently sporting a -0.2 WAR and leading the league in strike outs.

Hell yeah, leading the league in 2 stat categories!

Fucking amateur hour. Chirinos can't lay down a bunt. Profar jogs halfway home before realizing the stupid bastard on first was about to lose the game for us. That said, they did enough right tonight to win. Horns and Rangers.

Do we really blame Profar there? Isn’t that more on Tocci or the first base coach for trying to reach 2nd in the first place?

You don't see it happen very often, but I'll bet the coaches have it figured out now. Realistically, you just plain don't try for second base on that. Assuming two fast runners, there's no guarantee that the guy on third gets home before the runner is tagged out at second (or that the refs will call it correctly). The game is on the line, so yep, it's one of those two. Nevertheless, Profar shouldn't have been fucking around, IMHO. Take care of business.

Choo should have crushed that second strike called.  He sat on it. Right down the middle

Odor's popup to start the inning was pretty pathetic. It looked like he was stepping toward first, but decided to take a stab at a ball that was low and outside.

1st round of the MLB draft is tonight.  Rangers picking at #16 (I think).

Sounds good. It's just aways frustrating having to wait for a high school draftee to mature and develop for so many years before he contributes. Rangers need some starting itching ASAP.

I’m itching for some pitching too.

Kela is beginning to look like a real closer. Would love to see Beltre get back on track - and Gallo get on track. Wonder what will happen when Andrus returns.

I think the more interesting situation is how much longer Jeff Banister coaches this team.

This probably mean Banister is good until 2020 or so unless the Rangers have multiple bad years.

This makes me happy.   Engineered the greatest era of Rangers baseball.  I generally like how he acquires talent.  

No complaints here.

Agreed. Hope some of these draft picks start panning out though.

Yeah, I agree.I think he's really good. Probably not top 5 of GMs, but not below 15th. Remember, he built those 2010 & 2011 teams when the Ranger's were basically in bankruptcy too

My only gripes are the horrible track record with identifying and developing pitchers and i wouldve blown it up last year.  I understand why he didnt but i wish he wouldve.  

+1 in the JD Camp here. He built a team that played more than 162 games in 6 out of 8 years. Going for it a couple of those years and being buyers are what’s hurting now. I’ve got faith this will be turned back around.

Certainly hope so. After many years of frustration, got spoiled for several seasons. Never in wildest dreams would have thought they would do what they did in '10 and '11.

It is not so much that I am extending Daniels in general but the timing is bad. And it screams this organization being tone deaf. 2014, 2017 and now 2018 will be terrible. That is 3 of the last 5 years. And we decide while in the midst of this terrible season to extend the guy in charge of all this? Meh. I do not like living in the past. 2010 and 2011 were great but that is nearing a decade ago. Since 2011, we have won a total of 2 playoff games. 2! And both of those came in 2015. I think the Rangers and Mavs could both use a fresh and new perspective in the GM position. Although for the Mavs, it's more of Cuban that needs to move on and not so much their GM. 

So, did y'all know the Rangers drafted a dude named Owen Sharts?

I ... uh ... shart you not.

JD dropped the ball on pitchers. He spent too much on Odor. From what I've seen, they could use a better hitting coach.

Going to the game tonight... work has a suite. so if nothing else free food and booze. 

Stick fucking Gallo on the bench for a couple of weeks. Maybe it will help him focus.

Not sure I like Beltre in that situation. He has to get it out of the infield. He's too slow.

Stros go for the sweep tomorrow.

I think you balked there...

Odor takes two strikes then swings at ball that bounces beside the plate. Gallo to end the game. The guy's batting 200. Waste of time. The only reason they scored 7 today is because he sat on the bench.

Balk call was after the play bullshit.

New prospect rankings out from Fangraphs today. Rangers rankings:

44 - Willie Calhoun

74 - Leody Taveras

100 - Cole Winn

121 - Cole Ragans

Would love to be able to add 2 more here by end of season.

Rangers come to Chavez Ravine tomorrow.  Prodigal son Adrian Beltre returns to where he started.  He was a casualty of Frank McCourt's penny-pinching ways.  Sure fire HOF'er.  He'll get a rousing cheer I'm guessing.

Dodgers have at least 3 HR’s in 8 of the last 10.  Hammering Colon.
