I did not have Danny Jansen turning on a 97 mph fastball off the plate but hey I'll take it!

Just a reminder, that 9th inning rally started with a 2x World Series MVP not being aware he had struck out

What a stupid sport

We didn't see this much emotion from the team in 162 games last year. Hopefully this ignites a turnaround.

I think the roof has to stay open until we lose a series

I agree. Give me 110 F in July.

Wow. I turned it off, but followed it on the MLB app, and then of course had no option to turn it back on when the rally started. What a comeback.

Same here but I waited until we tied it up. Didn't want to jinx us.

This team is better than last season. Main reason is the passion they play with

I turned it off. Shocked they came back! You know who never did that? 2023 rangers!

Next 16 games are against teams with losing records. And not just barely, but bottom of the division losing.

Keep winning series. Maybe Seager gets going off garbage Astros pitching.

No, Jeremy Pena for the Astros. One less veteran of theirs we'll have to see this weekend.

Our next 13 games are against the teams with the 3 worst records in MLB.
Col (3): 17-26
Hou (7): 17-27
LAA (3): 16-28

Then, 3 against KC (19-24).

11-5? No reason we shouldn't pickup series wins across the board.

If we are going to be any good this season, we have to win 10 wins at a bare minimum here in these next 5 series. Seriously, if we are still .500 or worse after this stretch, it will not be a good sign, barring injuries of a major level.

Fri - Leiter
Sat - deGrom
Sun - Evo

I'll be at the game Saturday night, was hoping for either Leiter or DeGrom

I'm going tomorrow. I hoped they might drop Evo in on Friday. Leiter Arrigetti is the only match up we may not be favored in. Even that is pretty close.

Looking like a blessing that HOU went on that run last year and got to 20 games over .500 with a JAG roster. They spent the rest of the year slowly bleeding out, and I think management didn't realize the party was winding down. Yeah, it's a long season, but they just don't have the guys. They look like a 4th place club.

That, sir, was the greatest post in the history of TexAgs. I salute you. -- Dough

They have the guys, they are just lined up on the DL. They may literally have close to $100 million in payroll on the DL right now.

Those guys were a .500 team when healthy last season. It was the scrubs who gave them a boost. Similar to what the Rangers did in August when they got to 6 over at one point.

Yeah, Hunter Brown (return still likely a month out) and Josh Hader (he's had a series of arm issues since August but could be back soon) could help them. Other than that, it's mostly JAG City on their DL

And Jeremy Pena, Correa, Diaz, even Jake Meyers are legit players. That's a ton of payroll on the bench and impossible to replace.

Just curious, have the gameday production people toned things down a little bit this year? I typically go to one or two games a year and last year the amount of noise and music and crap was almost insufferable. I mentioned it on here and was not the only one that noticed it. Hoping they toned it down a bit.

I've been to one game this year and it certainly seems tobed down. I railed against their production every time they sent me a survey the last 2 seasons.

From watching on TV... they have changed some things.

With 2strikes, it was a guitar grind that was annoying and, IMO, left fans with no transition. It was blareing and then you were like "do I clap? Do I cheer? Maybe I'm supposed to just sit here." That is now the trumpet theme baseball has adopted. <Narco by TimmyTrumpet>

The guitar riff grind just makes no sense but seemed to find its anchor in this new stadium. I guess "special events" and all, it is to symbolize concerts for baseball fans. Bring back the organ.

It doesn't help the loudspeakers sound so terrible in this park.

None of it makes any sense.

I've been to several stadiums the last few years and none of them are as obnoxious as ours. Not even close.
