February 28, 20214 yr Well, that bench doesn’t have a single backup IF on it, Eli is pretty much only an OF now. But yes, we will be terrible.

This team is going to be special and not in a good way. Also, from what I’ve been reading...Odor’s time with the Rangers could be numbered. I wouldn’t be opposed to that. Bring on Josh Jung already.

If jung is ready then he’s ready, but why start his service clock at the beginning of the rebuild?
February 28, 20214 yr Adam Morris is just going to continually post that he expects Odor to be released soon, he's been doing that for months now. Grant, who is actually paid to cover the team, figures him to be on the OD roster.
February 28, 20214 yr I'd be more for Odor being released or moved if I wasn't concerned that there's a chance he's the 2nd best hitter in that lineup. Woof.

February 28, 20214 yr Can someone key me in on what the season is going to look like. Are they going to try and do a normal 162 on a normal schedule? Looks like spring training is starting on time.
February 28, 20214 yr I sure hope Lyles isn't in the rotation. And yikes, Gibson could be our Opening Day starter.
February 28, 20214 yr Embrace the suck. I just wanna see improvement from the younger guys and I wanna see Joey mash so that we can trade him for some more pieces.

March 1, 20214 yr I'm having a hard time seeing Odor being good at 3rd with his frequent WTF throws. Much narrower margin for error, though fewer opportunities. It could get interesting. Perhaps it can hasten his departure.
March 1, 20214 yr I put 1U on the little Rangers +6000 to win it all. What should I do with all the money?
March 1, 20214 yr 20 hours ago, Dr Fear said: 50-1 to win the division... SMH. I am actually surprised the odds are this good.
March 2, 20214 yr Author Elite shortstop? We shall see. Calling himself 'an elite shortstop' who is 'ready to prove it,' Isiah Kiner-Falefa eager to lead Texas Rangers https://es.pn/3r75Z7H Edited March 2, 20214 yr by CowtownHorn
March 3, 20214 yr It’s rather embarrassing we can’t even play 9-inning ST games because we don’t have enough Ps that can walk & chew gum.

Maybe we can take back the horses he got for his ranch.
March 3, 20214 yr Is there anything to take away from the fact that Odor has only played in 1 of the first 3 games and that he played 2b?
March 3, 20214 yr He's playing 3rd today. Game is being broadcast on FSSW. 2:00 from John Blake Tues. vs. LAA at Tempe: Taveras 8, Dahl DH, Lowe 3, Odor 4, Guzman 7, Heim 2, Walker 9, Ibanez 5, Culberson 6, Herget 1 Lineup change for today: Odor will play 3B and Ibanez will play 2B.
March 3, 20214 yr 32 minutes ago, shadow_operative2.0 said: Also, Condor playing LF. Dahl still can’t throw. I didn't even notice that. Thanks
March 7, 20214 yr Supposedly Mike Foltynewicz fastball is back in the mid 90's from when he was an All-Star. Pitched 2 scoreless innings today against the Dodgers.
March 8, 20214 yr Author Gallo with his 4th HR of the spring. Let’s continue that into the regular season pls.
March 9, 20214 yr On 3/5/2021 at 4:13 PM, Vic Mackey said: Trying to remember who blew more saves between Dyson and "Tolly Time" Tolleson.
March 9, 20214 yr Trying to remember who blew more saves between Dyson and "Tolly Time" Tolleson.Those were the days, when there were actually late inning leads to blow
March 9, 20214 yr Looks like our best bullpen guy is out. https://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2021/03/rangers-jonathan-hernandez-ucl-shut-down-four-weeks.html
March 10, 20214 yr Been putting off a trip to Dallas that I need to make. Sounds like I'll have to make a stop while I'm up there. When is opening day?
March 10, 20214 yr April 5th is the Rangers Home Opener ( 3:05 v Blue Jays). I'm not real comfortable going that day, but hopefully late May or something. Did take off April 1st, but probably be watching from home rather than at a bar like I typically do
March 11, 20214 yr I'll go after I get the vaccine. Based on the current groups eligible, that should be late April to May.
