I would love to see us be willing to put DC in motion and pressure the defense with two guys that athletic. We need to manufacture runs because we don’t have big sticks Agreed. A 1st and 3rd delayed steal is one of my favorite things to see when done successfully. Maybe throw in a safety squeeze.
February 26, 20232 yr The Duplantier experiment needs to be shitcanned. Not only is he completely ineffective, the dude looks like he has zero interest in even being at the ballpark. He was done today before he even threw a pitch.

I get the dude was bad today but he was really good in his first two outings of the year. He didn’t have it today. We’ll see if it carries over.
February 26, 20232 yr His taking the mound sulking before he even threw a pitch really sucked. And I’ve see that act before from him.
February 26, 20232 yr O’Dowd has been making good contact so far this year. Much better than what he showed on limited chances last season. Not a ton to show for it yet.

I don’t believe we have a single starter with a career .300 average. Edited February 26, 20232 yr by ClubWhatever
February 26, 20232 yr This team would be nothing at this point without Porter Brown and Lucas Gordon.

Just now, Fletch said: Most teams wouldn’t be very good without their 2 best players Yeah, but most teams of Texas' caliber have more than two great players. I'm not even sure we know Brown is "great" yet. Granted, Witt is hurt, but there's not the depth of proven quality we're accustomed to. Regardless, I'm watching and invested. I'm just stating that it's more stark than most years.
February 26, 20232 yr We may have an offensive hangover from all the offense last year. Unless everyone gets hot at the same time, we just aren't gonna score a ton of runs every time out.

Anything was going to be a stark difference compared to last year when we broke the majority of the single season offensive records this historic program had.

February 26, 20232 yr Baseball is a great sport in that teams find themselves as the season goes on. The leaders in May in MLB mean nothing. This team is talented and we should be optimistic about what’s coming. In the meantime, we’ve taken the series and are going for the icing, I’ve got baseball and golf on dual stream and life is very bueno. Hook em

For sure. Texas had eight draft picks (most since nine in 2007) and a veteran roster last season. It was bound to happen. The team will certainly jell as the season progresses, but I believe it's okay to have legitimate concerns around the starting rotation and collective offense. Oh well, onward to the sweep!

February 26, 20232 yr 2 minutes ago, Pato del Muerto said: Keith has been leaning into “can he get an out?” this weekend. He's definitely still trying to get back into the groove in the booth. He’s been struggling a little bit but understandable considering the health scare he had.
February 26, 20232 yr Just now, Pato del Muerto said: So for no reason whatsoever, when does Witt come back and will he be starting? They said bullpen to start. 1-2 inning outings and then go from there.
February 26, 20232 yr Should have scored him there I think but I’ll take not making the 1st out at home
February 26, 20232 yr You'd like to get more out of 2nd and 3rd and no outs, but at least DC got one home.
