2 games under .500 and 3 games back of the division. We got Miami, Detroit, and San Francisco the next 9 games. The goal should be to come out the next 9 games a game over .500. We need some kind of momentum before we take on LA and Seattle on the road.

First post in over 36 hours. There must not be much to complain about right now.
I was wondering if there was something wrong with the site. I got back late Wednesday night from an overseas trip and thought maybe I needed to reset my phone.
This is a pretty huge month of baseball coming up. We need guys to get going again as we add some pieces back from injury. Seager is doing his thing now, but Adolis is still really struggling and Semien has fallen off a cliff (likely because he's not 100% healthy). We really need Langford to begin turning the corner and start producing runs, and we need to find a real DH now that Carter is going to be out for a bit.Water Boy said:

It can be a fickle sight... especially when people complain about non-Rangers sports... like the Mavs winning the WCF and reaching the NBA Finals. Or the Stars. 
I agree we need to make some progress on the record.
So... the schedule:
@ Miami (3)
Fr: Urena : Sanchez (RHP: 6GS, 13G, 6.25 ERA, 1.64 WHIP, 31.2 IP)
Sa: TBD : Weathers (LHP: 11GS, 3.16 ERA, 1.09 WHIP, 62.2 IP)
Su: TBD : Rogers (LHP: 11GS, 5.65 ERA, 1.80 WHIP, 51.0 IP)
v Detroit (3)
Mo: Eovaldi (2.84, 1.20) : Skubal (LHP, 11GS, 2.01, 0.82, 67.0 IP)
Tu: Dunning (3.94, 1.20): Flaherty (RHP, 11GS, 3.46, 1.00, 67.2 IP)
We: Urena (3.53, 1.27): Maeda (RHP, 8GS, 5.80, 1.32, 35.2 IP)
I think those TBDs were Lorenzen and Heaney's spots.
Lorenzen is day-to-day:
Heaney relieved Eovaldi on his GS. I was hoping it was just a spot-RP appearance similar to Gray's.
Not sure if there is an issue with Heaney, or they are trying to decide match ups for Garabito's next GS.
I think Garabito will have diminishing returns. I didn't get to see him pitch, but opposing teams will likely have watched the "film." If we got through the lineup twice in his next GS, I'd be shocked.
Gray not eligible until the 5th (Wed).

did we trade Dave Raymond for pitching depth?
Jimbo Franchione
Gordon looks pretty skinny to be cranking a bomb to dead CF.
2-0 Marlins, B2.
2-0 Marlins, B2.
Looks like we are back to making below average pitchers look like CY Young contenders.
Oh no, we suck again!
We just caught Miami at the wrong time.
Time for Langford to tie up this game!
If we lose this series….

Got swept by the terrible rockies, so would it really be out of the realm of possibility?
Yeah I was hoping that we were just in a bad slump but with a third of the season already over we pretty much are what we are at this point.
We have a pitcher named Urine.
Jesus hits a home run off Jesus.
Tomorrow is June 1, and Langford still hasn't hit a ball over the fence. Even Charlie Hough and Bartolo Colon got one out.

How long do you want to ignore this user?

He deserves it, but he has been taking a beating on twitter the past week or so. Lots of funny stuff.
Hopefully at some point (next round of contract negotiations with the umpires union) they can come up with a mechanism to more gracefully move some of the umps out of the MLB that aren't performing.
We tried to give Angel free LASIK but he missed the call. 🤷♀️

Miami is quaking hahah
Let's see if today grossman makes his first contribution to the team since we traded back for him.
Great at bat, Grossman.
Screw this. I'm switching to college baseball.

I am doing both. Trying to anyway.
There have been quite a few good college games. bunch of walk-off wins Fri/Sat already.
Yeah these games are awesome. That Wake Forest/East Carolina ending was so great.
Couple top seeds escape by a run or two against far inferior competition. Never know what can happen.

That was pretty crazy. Didn't look like either team really wanted to win... they both choked in the 9th inning. Luckily for ECU they choked first and got a chance to redeem themselves.
