Yeah it's hard to think much else.....In his first 8 pitches he gave up a triple/double/2 singles and didn't record an out.

Now he's taking a shower and we're dead & buried.

The experiment has lasted much longer than it should have

9-1 in the 4th is fucking disgraceful, this isn't a playoff pitching staff

IMO, this isn't a playoff team.

I know I've worn this word out, but we're a really "flawed" team.

Starters aren't anywhere near good, nor deep enough to win........BP is damn near a question mark regardless of role or expectations......We've just got to be one of the worst teams in the AL defensively........And our O, especially without Adrian, is below avg.

I agree with all the above

Damn, I leave for a little while and it's 9-1. Donaldson, what did you do. I sure hope we don't resign AJ.

How'd this fiasco become my doings?

But to answer your question, I obviously "didn't do enough." ha ha

And here ya go piling on my guy "Sweet Lettuce."...........but seriously, I'm 100% with ya on him......But he's overall done an acceptable, not to be confused with exceptional, job in his time with us......Cost damn near nothing in the big picture, and certainly produced better than I'd hoped for anyway.

If the Rangers did somehow make the playoffs, they wouldn't be there long with this pitching staff.

Offense misses AB and JD has a fuckton of work to do with this pitching staff
It's going to interesting to see how JD spends the money that he is no longer spending on Darvish, Lucroy and Jeffress.

Amazingly, the Rangers will have not lost ground in the race after this weekend.

I personally wouldn't have been upset by having the highest draft pick possible after what we saw early in the season. The pitching on this team is not good enough

It makes me feel better that a team much stronger than us came in there and got rolled just as bad, if not worse than we did. That Oakland series was ugly as hell.
