I had a post last night talking about Arlington, and mods killed it.

So, Dusty sucks and so does Maldy.

I had the opposite reaction. Never liked the D-Ray unis.

Grossman hitting 3 hole for texas? Woof!

Their "modern" ones are arguably the worst in baseball imo

And that first at-bat went as expected.

A man of taste, I see. Their standard ones font is awful and way too big, and boring otherwise.

I agree that the "modern" Rays unis are rather meh but they art better than the D-Back ones although I do like their Arizona's City Connect uniforms.

We don't have any games on ESPN networks do we? Their crews are awful

Personally I have no problem with the Rangers taking out the Rays. The Rays won 99 games this year and have recent ALCS winning experiernce; they are a threat to us getting back to the WS.

I'm not here to debate with you or convince you one way or another as much as you seem to think otherwise. It's all speculation, and very likely no one here is even qualified to make said decisions in the first place anyway.

I really like the Arizona blacks with just the A on the chest. Reminds me of these.

I think the A/B choice is the hardest.

Arlington has some action on the bases

Rays first baseman doing his job to give the Rangers some base traffic.

And got a sac fly. Only if they hadn't traded away Joey Gallo.

Rays look pretty awful on defense so far

Springer is balding pretty bad.

Early lead for the Rangers?

As we all know, they've certainly never let a lead get away this year.

If not Espada, Kevin Cash to replace Dusty? Would he even consider a move?

That was a nice defensive play.

Tropicana field was the worst stadium I attended an Astros road game at these last couple of years. Only pro was no traffic leaving the stadium itself and more Astros fans than Rays fans. Those uniforms today are nice though.

Dumb bunt

and that sucked
