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.

Can I get in on this?

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.

I’m in if not too late

Just one game under .500. Could be the high point of the season.

The 1930 Athletics team ERA was 4.28 and they won 102 games and the World Series.  It was widely considered to be the best American League pitching staff in baseball that year. That '96 Tigers staff is easily the worst one of my lifetime.  They used 16 starting pitchers that year en route to the worst ERA ever.  Also surrendered most hits, more walks, most home runs, but finished 9th in the league in Complete Games.  So you know...that's something.   

What else is he lying about?  Astroturf, Covid vaccinations, why Governor Abbott won't throw out the first pitch in Arlington?  

I'm sick of this double-talk, we demand the truth!!!

A lot of old Amish ask me, "How did the 1930 Phillies, with O'Doul, Klein, and Whitney in the 3-4-5 holes (team batting average was .315 and they had more walks than strikeouts as a team) manage to lose 102 games that season?"  That wretched pitching staff, where only 1 of 9 pitchers had an ERA under 5.70, is the sad answer.  Lost to history is the fact that HOF'er Chuck Klein smothered most of the pitching that staff in their sleep after being swept at the Polo Grounds to close out the season. 

In the era between the end of WWI and the end of WWII, nobody lost more games than the Phillies.  In that era, they lost 100+ games ten times, never finishing higher than 4th.  Almost 140 years of baseball for that franchise, and only two World Series titles.  So keep your chins up, Rangers fans.  And at least you don't have to live in Philadelphia.

That's old hat, I want to hear more about the pre WW1 A's!

Ol' boy Connie sold off most of his team after the '14 WS loss, went from 749-529 in runs to 545-889. That ain't ideal.

We have the answer. 

 

so Gibson sitting at 135.0 and the team at 10 we looking good for a record breaking season.  early season stats are fun

A teacher who lost family members to COVID, with a health care worker as catcher

Folty going to fit in beautifully with this bullpen. At least he made it out of the 1st before giving up a HR

Edited by mdmost

Only surrendering one in the first helped the team ERA. the second inning undid that.

Note to self, instead of binoculars with whiskey inside, or under-the-clothes flask camelbacks...........masks made of edible marijuana.  

I hate the rich douches hanging out at tables behind the plate gimmick. This stadium blows

Jon Daniels went all in for 2016 and it was has been a steep decline ever since. I get rebuilds but this thing has had no direction or promise in any season since that debacle against Toronto in 2016. And still has zero idea how to build a pitching staff.

Solak back to cleanup against the lefty, Leody sits. Holt at DH is just sad.

And one of the worst hitters in all of baseball batting 6th. Weird...

Folty only last 4 inning.  Bullpen is going to burned out before June.

Beaning back to back batters. This bullpen is on fire today. 

I like some Johnny paycheck but damn I’m so tired of that coors light commercial already

Glad you like Johnny Paycheck.  I hope you also like Johnny Lee.

 

Should be noted this bum pitching for Toronto had a 9+ ERA last year and gave up a HR about every 2 innings.

Glad you like Johnny Paycheck.  I hope you also like Johnny Lee.
 

That’s how much it’s driving me insane already

Welp..time to see who might be the overall #1 picks for the 2022 draft. This is the worst team Ranger team in my lifetime.

I had to check. The Rangers haven't failed to win 60 games since 1973 in a full length season. Granted - we were on pace for just under that last year so that may have been the 2nd worst.
