We should really consider throwing one to the backstop next time the other team loads the bases

I think it was Donavon on the ticket today that predicted a grand slam for Hosmer .

"That's a good pitch from Kyle Gibson," says CJ seconds after the Padres launch their fourth grand slam in as many games. Yeah, a pecker-high two seamer running back toward the middle of the plate.

Can we back up the Brinks truck for TAG and Josh Lewin?

And now another bomb to take the lead. I think Chavez's career is done.

Chavez gives up back-to-back go ahead HRs to the Padres 8- and 9-hole hitters. ANOTHER good pitch according to CJ.

That might actually make me finally give up on this team. I mean, probably not lol, but I would be so devastated.

Read Chapter 5 of The Inside Game by Keith Law. It's called "For Every Clayton Kershaw There are Ten Kasey ****rs: Base-Rate Neglect and Why It's Still a Bad Idea to Draft High School Pitchers in the First Round."

It will give you good insight in to why the Rangers are the way that they are.

Edit: Censored word rhymes with Biker and starts with a K.

Why the hell did we bring back Chavez and chirinos?

I wouldn't have signed either one of those turds.

Well maybe this thing will get so bad that Daniels will be shown the door.

OK, let's breathe people. It was a really rough last 4 games vs. one team. It is possible that we just don't match up well with San Diego for whatever reason. Nobody expected us to be a playoff team, but we have the ability to play better baseball than this.

Other teams go through garbage series like this . . . NYY just got swept at home by TB. If we go up to SEA and get smacked around, OK, we're done. But if we take 2 of 3, we can come home and play good baseball vs. OAK, LAD, and HOU. I'd rather tank vs. SD, a team that has no bearing on our playoff chances, than OAK and HOU.

I like your enthusiasm, I really do. I wish I shared it with you.

Outside of Lance Lynn we have mediocre to poor SP. The bullpen is mediocre to poor as well. Our best hitter is batting .278/.380/.798. We have one batter with some power in a new ballpark that is pitcher friendly. After SEA, we face the team with the best record in the AL, the best record in the NL West (and a lot of people's pick to win the WS) and our "rival" to the south that has had a rough year but is still 2nd in the AL West with a .600 winning pct.

We'll be lucky to have 14 wins going into September.

**** offense, below average defense, and 1 good starter.

For every guy playing below what his career #'s say, there's been a couple of guys playing well above what their likely production is. Yeah Elvis should be hitting a lot better, but Kiner-Falefa also isn't a 4+ WAR player.

Any amount of "staying in the playoff hunt" will be a result of shortened season and expanded playoffs.
