At least we can all agree that anyone who uses the term "points" in regard to this team should be swiftly smacked upside the back of the head and given a stern talkin to.

That is a good point.

"Playoffs" just doesn't hit my ears right when it comes to baseball.

Did y'all see where Holland wrote "thank you" on the mound last night?

Someone made note of this yesterday. But I didn't see it.

Don't think anyone ever thought of Holland as a bad guy. In fact, quite the opposite.

Terrible but not typical

he has at least one crooked number inning every outing. Fortunately this one the offense went nutso and saved his butt.

You got the point. After the first inning he settled in and pitched ok. You said last night was typical and that is not true. You need to think before making statements that don't hold water.

Jonathan Lucroy reflects on career path

Sorry to hear that Lucroy and Jeffress were so miserable during their time here. Can't really put that trade in the loss column for JD, but it clearly did not work out for the Rangers.

Yeah I agree......But what-the-hell, Arlington ain't for everybody, any more than anywhere else is. So I get it.

The team seems to be doing just fine without them.

Rather well liked by almost everyone.

I don't think Derek ever fully recovered from the injury behind his shoulder. I did think he would have a much better season. He really fell apart this year after a good first two months.

I was going to say that he seemed like a different pitcher ever since he tripped over his dog

Seems like a light year ago. Time flies

I've been out of the loop. So what's happened with Gomez being on the DL?

the only difference between last night and his usual starts was the inning he had his trouble. He gave 6 runs last night and the only reason we won was the offense. He doesn't deserve any praise. Last night was a team win not a Perez win

Giving up 5 runs in the first is not typical as you stated. No one said he deserved any praise.As I said, he was terrible not typical. You fail.

Gallo's plate discipline is light years ahead of where it was last year.
