It ain't easy to make the playoffs, but right now we're looking at likely 2 divisional series appearances in 10 years despite having a Top 10 payroll during most of that time. That's not impressive.
They've made the top 10 three times since 2010 and no higher than 6th. They haven't cracked the top 10 since 2014.

2012 - #11
2013 - #11
2014 - #11
2015 - #12
2016 - #12
2017 - #5


So I erred, I should have said Top 12.

And the teams that have been consistently higher than we have either A) Have sniffed a World Series since 2011 or B) Have a Top 10 farm system currently.

We've spent a lot of money this last decade, had underwhelming results, and have a bad farm system. That's bad. When you now have ownership saying we're not going to spend, that's absolutely brutal.

r/MLBstreams on Reddit works pretty well


This is what I use. Then I cast to my TV. Pretty much never have issues.
Any of y'all have a favorite "provider"? I just recently discovered this nice little hack. I've been using BilaSport or something like that? But if there's a better/cleaner looking one, let me know!

However.....I'm expecting an announcement from the hated rangers front office that looks like this:



"That would add to the budget, we won't be hosting, or participating in such games"

- Bob and Ray
"For the safety of the players, of course."

Tejeda back in the lineup. Hope Guzman is ok after taking that pitch off the hand last night.

Hopefully it's just minor swelling.

He's played well since he's been back.

I'm not sure what you're looking at, but in 2017 they were 12th.

Bottom line. They aren't big spenders.

*******. I go to the liquor cabinet and before I can even come back with my whiskey we're already running back on the field.

Edit: whats even funnier about this is it doesn't matter if you are an Astro or a Ranger and this holds true right now.

At least Allard is having a good outing so far through 6.

Great pitching tonight.

Hitting really stunk tho. I can't believe our crazy ownership group thought the offense was ok coming into this year. We probably needed 2 free agent bats.

The promo period is over but using TMobile to get MLB.tv and then paying for a DNS unblocker works flawlessly except in a situation where they are playing across an espn game.

Sportsurge.tv is the backup solution if that happens.

As bummed as I was at the outcome of the trade deadline, getting to watch Lynn pitch is still fun. And today's match up against Greinke should be a good one.

To be fair, Lynn throws his fastball like 70% of the time, so not really that difficult to predict

An even more painful reality than the current one as a Rangers fan would be if Lynn goes on to suck and lose any semblance of trade value going forward.

Well, he's a piece, but not so much a trade one.

This strike zone is terrible. Greinke doesn't need any help from the umpire against our offense, but he's definitely getting it...

The only way Lynn is getting a strike called is if the pitch is right down the middle

Gallo is really bad at hitting. Solak has doubled 3 times in front of him and he's done jack to follow it up every time

and of course Grienke gets the called strike 3 on a ball clearly out of the zone to end the inning.

So over the last week, Solak and Guzman are making bids for being long term solutions here. Glad to see it.

Solak is well on his way. Guzman needs to probably hit well in 60-70% of the games left to change any minds and he also needs to hit with some power.
