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
April 13, 20187 yr rangers are +320 to win this series. astros are -400. everyone knows this team is garbage. 50 wins will be an achievement.

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

And Beltre's chase to 3,000I 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.

April 13, 20187 yr Another trade I'd like back is Gallardo for Corey Knebel since the closers role has been a mess the last few years.
April 13, 20187 yr 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.

April 14, 20187 yr Ready for Aaron mayette, rob bell, Kevin gross, John Burkett, roger pavlik, rick helling, and Ryan drese.

Seasoned vets like Dave Burba, Scott Erickson, Mark Clark, Mike Morgan, and Pedro Astacio will provide a boost down the stretch.
April 14, 20187 yr 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

April 14, 20187 yr Well we played our first 1 run game of the year....atleast it kept ya interested instead of losing by 8

April 14, 20187 yr One game doesn’t make the season, but DAMN doesn’t winning feel better than losing!
April 15, 20187 yr Was Guzman a pretty disciplined hitter in the minors? Early, but looks like he has a nice approach at the plate.

April 15, 20187 yr That was a fun game last night. This is why I keep watching, despite the season outlook.
