This team reminds me of the good old days at Arlington Stadium circa 1972.

We scored 2 in the top of the 1st and successfully executed the shutdown inning afterwards.  Progress.

Rangers gonna Ranger.

Classic shit.

Team ERA will easily be 5+ this year.

I may have been way low on this prediction.  What's the record in a season for worst team ERA?  Figured it's Texas or Colorado.

1930 Philadelphia A’s - 6.71
1996 Tigers - 6.38

Believe CJ was on that Det team. 

Yep.  I had to look them up.  CJ had an 8.08 ERA (11 games, 8 starts).  Other contributors on that team was the infamous Todd Van Poppel, Jose Lima, Greg Gohr, and Felipe Lira.  In fact, out of every pitcher they used that year only 1 had an ERA below 4.

It pains me to do this, but I am going to bet a set unit on the opponent's run line every game.  Last year during the shortened season you would have been up 11 units.

Did you do this both games so far? 

Yep. Today was +107, Thursday was +125. I will share the Google sheet on monday lol.

O/U 50 wins for this team? I’ve got $20 via Venmo says under. First 3 takers are in. And you better have a good memory because I drink a lot.

110 losses?

I was just about to post 50 wins.  this team, especially the pitching, is hot fucking garbage.  I'm not gonna pretend I really know anything about Chris Young but I'm pretty sure they could have paid me 10 grand and I could have put together a team as good(bad?) as this one.  holy shit.

ha. that team averaged 3 runs a game.  56 total HR's.  they'd still probably kick this team's ass.

Son and I watched the first few innings of yesterday's game at a sports bar.  Got home and saw the final.  What in the holy f!?  I get rebuilds and all, but this is a tad ridiculous.

To add.  It's not like this is the NFL circa 1970, where you pretty much had to build a team via the draft over several years.  In an era of free agency AND with a larger-market team, there's no excuse for the ownership to put this product on the field.

Edit: I know this has already been discussed on here.  Just venting.

Yeah, except back then they basically played in a stock yard, now  they play in a warehouse.

70s Rangers weren't good, but they were scrappy, and usually had some decent pitching with guys on the back end of their careers but still dealing some good stuff. I loved listening to them on the radio back in the DIck Risenhoover era. It's the main reason I still follow them today.

Before Fergie Jenkins showed up, they had crap for pitching. Jeff Burroughs was the big stick and Toby Harrah, Tom Grieves and Dick Billings were solid.

That $75-80 million dollar a yr tv contract will only buy shitty pitchers I guess??????

Up 6-2 in the bottom of the 7th. Don't like the odds of holding on.
