It feels like they may not win another game.


It really does. It's so unique to baseball. If you lose 6 in a row in any other sport it's because your team sucks. We've been in 1st wire to wire. Our team is talented. We have a HOF manager, pitching coach too. But we simply can't get out of this losing streak. It bothers me mentally. My brain hurts. I can't imagine what it feels like for Will Smith. Cheese and rice ……

This is why we got Sherz and Monty. It's time to start winning games.

I guess the bright side is that it was a good thing we had a great first 3/4 of the season to even put us in the position to make the playoffs in the final month.

Got totally prison raped by the Twinkies. They made us their little red headed stepchild. Just totally beating the **** out of us all night.

What is wrong with this damn team? There has to be something we don't know.

Twinkies are averaging 9.5 runs a game this series. I can't believe my eyes. Their offense scares nobody.

Never in a million years did I think that the Brewers and Twinkies lineups would give us nearly as much trouble as they have.

It's like this team has an infection that started in the bullpen, spread to the hitting, now it's infected the starting pitching. Everything is rotting right now.

From Scott Lucas:

Jonah Heim's batted ball data before and after the injury:
Contact rate: 79% before, 65% after
Hard-hit rate: 38%, 25%
Median Exit Velo: 92.2, 83.6
90th Percentile Exit Velo: 104.1, 101.1

Please get the surgery already.

So...just got back from the Barbie movie. Looks like the Rangers and Barbie ended the night at the same place...

At least you saw something entertaining. All ranger fans got tonight was torture.

This team has quit


They're snakebite, but it's idiotic to say they've quit.


I love comments like this. They think team who is STILL in first place, and nine days ago had won 9 of 10 is all of a sudden like "yeah I give up. I don't wanna play anymore."

This is the mindset I've started to adopt the last week+. This is the best Rangers season we've had in seven years, and I appreciate us even being competitive on a nightly basis. I'll still be disappointed if we don't make the playoffs, but seeing this team right now I am pleased we are even in this spot.

Mariners tied for 1st with win over KC. 5 games left in an easy homestand (KC and OAK).

Need to salvage at least 1 against the Twinkies and win the series against a Mets team that has long since given up.

Then we might be only 1 behind Seattle or even with them.

I think the Heim and Jung injuries have really hurt us offensively. And not having Jung's defense hurts us too. Bullpen is what it is. Smith and Sborz are going through a real rough spell that has burned us a number of times on this stretch. Now maybe the starters feel the need to be perfect. It's affected them too.

Winning cures all. Just need to go out and win the next one. Will take the monkey off the back. It all starts with one win.

Montgomery pretty much was perfect in his last start and we still lost.

It really isn't that complicated. It's as simple as some of our best players being injured, guys hitting some pretty putrid slumps, and guys being incredibly unlucky.

For as bad as last night was, there were quite a few balls that were hit extremely hard for line outs. There were some bad swings in ABs from semien and Hedges, but the offense seems close to breaking out.

Yeah, that's no lie.. unfortunately that's baseball sometimes. It makes me think back to this past aggie baseball season. Bost had about the most unlucky season even in all of NCAA Baseball. He consistently ranked in the top 10 of expected offensive statistics and exit velo, but hit .226 for the season.

With all due respect good sir, given the full NCAAF TV schedule shown and the teams that are competing today, I cannot honor this declaration.

ND was the very reason for my rejection. I hope they never win another game in any sport they play.

INCLUDING BASEBALL!!!!

Mariners up 11-1. If the Rangers don't snap out of it, this will be their last night in first place.

But it won't be the Astros that did it which makes me LOL.

Alright, I can feel it. Tonight's the night the losing streak ends. Bats are gonna wake up. Scherzer's gonna mow down Twins left and right, then punch Bochy in the face when he tries to go to the bullpen to start the 8th. That gesture will inspire 5 more insurance runs in the top of the 9th, and not even Will Smith will be able to lose that lead.

Who's with me?!?
