Toronto's Pitchers aren't off, we're getting no-hit
Gausmam always seems to own us. I have no data to back this up, just recent anecdotes and my personal hatred towards him.
10 of our 80 losses have been shutouts. Seems high. So many pathetic offensive efforts.
Contract year. All Aces.

Didn't realize that. Woof. What a year to have to try to get a final contract.
I caught a foul ball one handed today in front of my son, he thought I was the coolest.
I rewatched the telecast but sadly the cameras didn't follow this one.

I know this is a Rangers thread, but holy **** Shohei is insane
3 series to go before this 2024 season is mercifully over.
And just to be clear... 2025 is his final Arb year. Prior to 2024, he went to Arbitration and prior to actual presentations, the Rangers gave him a little more than they had offered, but less than he was asking, but it was part of a 2 yr deal. So, they locked up 2025 at a favorable price for Adolis.
I believe... personally, that the who Arb process for a guy like Adolis is a bad thing. He wears his emotion on his sleeve and not getting what he was asking will wear on him emotionally. He'll feel disrespected and undervalued. Where some guys take that as a way to raise their game and "show them"... IMO< Adolis isn't that guy.
Glad they locked him up for 2025. I think he'll have a blowout MVP caliber season knowing he is going to get paid. Or he may just put so much pressure on himself that he ****s the bed.

But also names the Rangers the Biggest disappointment
If our guys can play somewhere in the middle of this year and last year we should be a playoff contender next season.
Would really be interested to know what the Rangers Stat Junkies had the odds of every returning offensive player having that large of a drop off was
It's funny that I've already convinced myself that was just a typical Bochy post-title letdown year, and you might as well plan the parade for November 2025.
Anyone here tonight?
It's Jacob deGrom time in Texas!

How long do you want to ignore this user?
Very encouraging start by Degrom. With Leiter, you can see there's something there, but I'm just not confident at all that he's going to consistently bring that something to the mound.
My sister and her friends are in the seats. 
With the Twins win, we have officially been eliminated from playoff contention.
missed whole game, just here for the box…. but Leiter … woof! Damn tell me it seemed better than the box somehow
Disappointing season.
Oh well, I guess the Bochy curse is real. It's worth it though.
I stopped posting/unfollowed this thread right as we started what we hoped would be the "15 game win streak." It worked for a few games...was hoping my commitment to it would somehow kindle a miracle, and told myself I'd stick with it until it didn't matter mathematically anymore.

Leiter sporting a crisp 9.74 era.
He had a great year in AAA, so I'm a little surprised he hasn't been able to replicate any of it at the MLB level.
Now that we are out of it officially, time to go on a winning famine for Ike Irish.
Sorry I couldn't come up with anything as cool as capture the Flagg.

Strange that the 2 best pitching staffs in baseball are on the outside looking in as I write this (ATL and SEA).
94chem,

As long as the Astros don't win the World Series, I can stomach this year after what happened last season.aggietony2010 said:

Leiter will hopefully be much improved next year.
HIs early games this season he gave up early runs, but settled in. This game he seemed to start strong, but the PC caught up to him ... aka times through the rotation.
He got a good early 1st pitch and I think that served him well.
Like Dunning... I just get the sense he gives up a walk or weak single followed by a hanging curve ball that gets driven out. Most a good outing, but a couple pitches where they lose focus and the game outcome unravels.

Anyone going to the Rangers game today? If you get an extra Adolis Garcia Cartwheel bobblehead and want to sell it or trade it for a Corey Seager Silver Slugger bobblehead, send me a PM.

I should have an extra to trade.
Didn't watch last night, but outside of throwing BP to Rodriguez, did he really pitch that poorly? 57 strikes, 35 balls isn't that bad of a split.Tksymm7 said:

Wyatt 3 run home run!
