Welp back to 4.5 back. This team just seems to be stuck in neutral. Gotta start stringing together more wins at some point if they want to win this division.

Side note: I have enjoyed Sandler and Murphy on the call. Murph can be a little boring but I'd take this duo over Raymond and Valle any day.
I just want consistency. Why do we have five announcers?
At least Astros lost.
We are running short on time. Need to get hot quick.
For the life of me, I cannot figure out what the Rangers are doing with their tv crews. Do other teams do this? And if I tune in after the pregame, it takes a while for me to figure out if it's Valle or Murphy talking. Maybe everyone else can easily tell the difference, but I can't.
Once Josh Lewin left, all hell broke loose. Bring him back, settle on one analyst, win.

In recent news about the Angels (b/c what news is ever good for them lol) Mike Trout was shut down from rehab on his meniscus without any real explanation and Anthony Rendon is now on the IL with lower back inflammation
I absolutely hate how injuries have derailed Trout's career. He is so much fun to watch.
Agreed, and unfortunately that's now probably how he is going to be remembered.
Hard to have a linebacker man CF and expect him to stay healthy into his 30s

You misspelled "lack of desire"

This is the fifth year that Rendon has been in LA and he has yet to bat 250 times
I couldn't imagine dealing with his ass for 5 years
It's been 5 years?? Damn. Seems like not long ago at all most of us were hoping he would be a Ranger. Certainly glad that didn't happen! Time flies.MrCoachEricTaylor said:

I think the Angels should DFA that loser so the Astros can sign him to be their salvation
Jimbo Franchione
Rendon vs Abreu, which would they say is worse? lol
Kelly (CA) and Jankowski (CF) in the lineup today. Seager is the DH.
Feels like a must win here. I'm not sure how many more times we can lose a series and still be in this thing.
Unraveling early...
Good throw by Lowe and he should be out, I think anyway. But no chance when you throw it high and off the plate.shack009 said:

Always enjoy when the other team gives you an out, even if it scores a run. Makes no sense from a STL perspective. Why give away free outs when the Rangers are giving you bases left and right?
Yeah, I think I would have done the same thing if I were Lowe. Pham must have got a good jump and you're right that it needed to be a better throw.KT 90 said:Good throw by Lowe and he should be out, I think anyway. But no chance when you throw it high and off the plate.shack009 said:

Off day tomorrow, we need to empty the pen if Heaney can't get it together. He is struggling, down 3-0 and still in the 2nd inning.
Get it together Heaney.
According to fan graphs, Rangers had a 24% chance of making the playoffs after the CWS series. Today we have a 12% chance. And that isn't including a potential loss today.
This offense is offensive.
We are getting the Little Big League montage Mike McGreevy...
My gosh, nothing is going right...
How the frick did this team win a championship? Just incredible the drop off from last season.
In 2023 we were 2nd in the MLB with a .263 batting average and 3rd in SLG at .452gigem1223 said:

In 2024 we are 20th in the MLB with a .239 batting average and 22nd in OBP at .379
Pitching wise we are slightly better at a 4.10 ERA this year compared to 4.28 last year.
This team has no bat juice, and it will be the reason they do not make the playoffs this year.
Man we should have sold. Restock the farm and be ready for 25. Now we have to hope for a miracle and stay hot for a 20 game stretch which seems impossible.
20 Game win streak, perhaps?!Water Boy said:

How about we stick to the 15.
Did anyone expect anything different from the Rangers and a rookie pitcher?
My sons and I were talking about it last night. My prediction for a a guy making his major league debut against the Rangers was 6 innings, 2 hits, 0 runs, 0 walks and 7 strikeouts.
I was really damn close, unfortunately. We've seen this movie too many times.

I can also say assuredly we are considerably worse on defense as well. We aren't a good team this year, and we need to figure out who the guys are that are making us not a good team (we know some of them already) and move on from them so we don't do this again next year.Legal Custodian said:In 2023 we were 2nd in the MLB with a .263 batting average and 3rd in SLG at .452gigem1223 said:

Next 7 series are against winning teams. Trying to find a reason to be optimistic for this season.
