I have the same feeling, and I don’t know why. There’s no inherent reason for it. Is it because we’ve tasted some success so it sucks now that it’s fallen away? Or because we have a decent payroll that’s underperforming as opposed to the Eddie Chiles days? Or is it something else?

Other teams could hit and be competitive we dont look competitive at all

But probably is a little bit of having some success recently and then just falling off a cliff

rangers are +320 to win this series.  astros are -400.  everyone knows this team is garbage.  50 wins will be an achievement.

Higher expectations for sure, but also, we've been accustomed to major off seasons moves (for good or bad) that indicate that we were in contention. And other than Calhoun we don't have we don't have alot to e excited for in the minors. the last few years, we've had Gallo, Profar, Brinson, Perez, ect.....

 

Even last year, when we sucked it was still cool to watch Gallo, and the huge mprovement of Andrus. And Beltre's chase to 3,000

I think we were all in on Ohtani and if we landed him, we would have been serious about making moves. Probably bring Yu back as well. The front office went all in on him and said if we don't get him, there is no backup plan.

Good point. I think you're are correct about ohtani. Maybe it was ohtani or rebuild

I'm in this boat.  We were going full rebuild once Ohtani chose Anaheim.

Another trade I'd like back is Gallardo for Corey Knebel since the closers role has been a mess the last few years.

Doing beltre no favors b having a likely strikeout batting behind him.  Could be why he’s still sitting on zero home runs. 

Really hope he has 40 more in him over the next 2-3 years.

This is a fact.

Yikes 

Give me +150 on over 12.5 strikeouts??  

Apparently they just signed Yovanni Gallardo to a minor league deal.  Lulz.

Should fit right in along Matt Moore and Jesse Chavez.

We should see what Cliff Lee is up to.

Might as well check in on Todd Van Poppel, Ryan Dempster, and Chan Ho Park.  Maybe even Mike Bascik can come out of the studio for a few innings.

Maybe Vicente Padilla could swim up to the park and give us three or four HBP’s.  

Ready for Aaron mayette, rob bell, Kevin gross, John Burkett, roger pavlik, rick helling, and Ryan drese. 

DFW pro sports seem like they suck now.

Now we're talking.  Seasoned vets like Dave Burba, Scott Erickson, Mark Clark, Mike Morgan, and Pedro Astacio will provide a boost down the stretch.

Nice night for Robinson, 0-4 at the plate with horrible error that lost the game in the 8th. There's no excuse for being this bad at fundamentals. 2 more errors tonight

That 0-4 was 4 K's as well.

Went to the game tonight and watching Robinson was brutal.

Well we played our first 1 run game of the year....atleast it kept ya interested instead of losing by 8

Baby steps!

One game doesn’t make the season, but DAMN doesn’t winning feel better than losing!  

Was Guzman a pretty disciplined hitter in the minors?  Early, but looks like he has a nice approach at the plate.

Yes, his problem in the minors was that he didn’t develop any power. Maybe he can find something working with MLB coaches

That was a fun game last night. This is why I keep watching, despite the season outlook.

you can make a lot of money with a 2 seam fastball and a change up.
