I beg of you......DON'T GO THERE

Oh that's not where I was going, I actually want to see improvement outta Odor but I still dont have a huge problem with him either.

Roogie just added one more reason that he will be the everyday 2B again next year........lol

ROOGIE HR

Another youngster who we must- rid ourselves of - or else to forever doomed.

I was there for the first game ever played there. I was at the only All Star game ever played in Arlington. I was there when we played our first home playoff game. I was there for the first Interleague game.

It was also the park where each of my three kids attended their first Rangers game. I saw a lot of my all time favorite Rangers play there. I saw Joey Gallo hit his first HR there. I watched the Rangers destroy Cliff Lee there one Opening Day. I attended most every Opening Day there until they changed their ticket policy.

I will always cherish the memories I have of both of our ballparks. I am looking forward to the new ballpark though.

I got a pic of me and my brother when we were just a wee little lads outside of the first one in its first year. I have no recollection of it.

My dad worked for the Rangers so I went to many a game as a kid. We would sneak through the first aid station and find empty seats. I have so many memories.

This one I went to a few times as I live in MI now. I took kid there as well as the wife.

I went to a 4th of july party in the lot when it was being built. Good times, good times.

No point in him not starting there every game since they called him back up

Agree. In the last 28 days which I think is since his call up he is hitting .333. Play the dude.

10pm almost and only in the 6th.........

My favorite memory at the old Arlington Stadium had to be when I attended a double header on August 9, 1977. We swept the double header. There was a fight that started when former Ranger, Jim Umbarger, hit Toby Harrah with a pitch. The Rangers also turned a triple play.

I was at Buddy Bell's first game. Saw many greats. From Mickey rivers to nolan to Pudge to etc....

Trevino swung like he had tied it up but doesn't get it to the track

Well he just drew a lead off walk, so let's hold off for now

Letting Mitch go was not as bad as letting Cruz walk but Rangers should have paid Mitch to stay. They didnt get better by not keeping him. Seems they didnt try to get better though, as it turns out anyway.
