Is it bad to have no one hiting over .300 on your team? Asking for a friend

Solak, Calhoun, Culberson. All hitting over .300. Nate Lowe has been solid, IKF steady. Trevino not bad at all.

This team is showing more offensive firepower than I expected, and this is without Gallo putting up big power numbers yet and Khris Davis still hasn't played a game.

THANK YOU DAVID DAHL

That was a bit like an overwhelmed little leaguer swinging late on one and connecting, but I'll take it! Wasn't sure if that was strategic or just defensive. It wasn't really a full shift

This team has been so much more fun to watch than I thought they would be this year. Could all fall apart in a hurry, but nice to see competitive and fun games against good teams.

Yep, one month of entertaining baseball vs the absolute crap we got last year. I take it as a win

Overall, pretty good pitching today. Two more hits for Calhoun, his average is up to .347 now.

Thoughts on dropping YouTube TV for ATT TV in order to get Rangers games? YTTV is $65 a month - ATT TV package that carries Rangers is the Choice package, which is $85 a month. They also have a promo right now that you get a year of HBO Max for free. No contract.

Any of you guys got ATT TV? Satisfied with it?

I guess DirectTV online is another option, but I'm having trouble figuring out which package, if any, carries Bally Sports SW.

Will not go back to Spectrum. Will not get a satellite dish.

It kinda looks like all options suck right now.

Has anyone had success going the mlb.tv and then using the VPN to spoof your location to avoid blackouts route?

I have DirectTV, no issues with it and it has SEC Network and Bally, plus the usual sports channels. So that covers me for Aggie sports plus Rangers. They have MLB channel as well.

If you have AT&T Wireless, you get HBO added for free (or at least it was when I signed up, but it hasn't changed for me).

I don't get why there's a lot of whining from fans & media. We played the hand we were dealt in the first & drafted Parsons. We traded back & got an extra 3rd which made the pick that much better.

In the 2nd we went boom or bust at CB. Rumor has it we were trying to trade up for Campbell but he went at 33. I honestly believe the cowboys when they said they were looking at CB in the 2nd round & they would of picked Joseph over Moehrig.

In the 3rd is where most of the *****ing is coming from. I didn't hate the first 2 picks of Osa & Golston. I think both those guys are safe "contact" picks. They found solid pieces that will provide meaningful snaps & be rotational players. The final 3rd round pick was another boom or bust pick at CB. I don't care about where others had him graded. We saw something we liked in him & thought his potential was higher than those other DBs that were there. Maybe we're wrong, maybe we're right, but we had that luxury of swinging for the fences after we got an extra 3rd rounder from philly.

Then in the 4th we got Cox & ball, the ole double whammy. Supposedly we were debating over Wright & Cox in the 3rd so the fact we still got Cox later makes this pick even better. If these picks were switched a lot of fans would feel better. The Ball pick came with scrutiny because of the off field issues but hopefully he's a better person now because is talented. Swing tackle & potential future LT there.

After the 4th I don't really care because the odds of one making the team are slim. Fehoko looks promising & Quonton looks like the run stuffer we've been looking for. Israel is another 6'4 DB who's played top competition & the 7th round G is cool too.

Overall, it's a solid draft who's success is dependent on 1 of those 2 boom or bust CBs being a boom.
I think you are lost.

So the new middle infield for the Rangers.......so far so good.

I loved Elvis, and hated to see him go but so far you would have to say it was the right move. IKF is the better defender, and IKF is putting up numbers at least as good if not better than Elvis did in an average year. Elvis so far this year is hitting .160 for the A's.

As for second base, that has been no contest so far. Solak is playing at a high level. Odor hitting .169 for the Yankees.

Taking 3 of 4 from the BoSox in Arlington will keep feeding the thought we are closer than we thought.

At this point... who are the top 3 Rangers that if replaced... could make a real difference?

Lyles - Need at least another SP.
Hearn - We really need an 8th inning lefty.
Dahl - We need another Big Bat.

Attrition around the league is starting to set in...
Agreed on Lyles
Hearn shows flashes, but his numbers haven't been good. Fair pick though.
Dahl has been disappointing so far

Can't say I disagree with your list, although I might strongly consider Arihara as well.

I completely missed this whole story about former Ranger Drew Robinson. So cool that he is still here and playing at a level good enough to make it back to AAA. Definitely rooting for him!
