Series Thread: Rangers welcome YU back vs the Pirates this weekend!

[RevSader]

We've been looking forward to this moment for over a year....Yu Darvish makes his way back to the mound vs the Pirates on Saturday! Oh, and our sexy stud Cole Hamels will open the series up for Texas. I cannot contain my excitement. Welcome the fuck back Darvish, we've missed YUUUUUUUUUUUU!!!!!

I'll be there Saturday night for the Return of the Yu.

Also, if I'm not mistaken, the Rangers are 7 games over .500 for the first time this year.

'Tis the high water mark for the year. Let's go ahead and make it 10 after this weekend though...

I agree that Prince is meh, but using the 9-2 game to say we'd have a negative run differential is more indicative of our shitty bull pen than the offense.

I know they've said they're going to ease him back into things with no 110-pitch outings right away, but I can't wait until we have both Hamels and Darvish at 100% at the top of the rotation. Throw in the bulldog Colby, and that's a hell of a 3-man playoff rotation.

Hopefully banister doesn't go retarded and send Colby to the pen if we make the playoffs again.

Bobby doesn't really care for Scioscia. He also talked about how much different the hitting instruction was there compared to here.

Agree on the run differential. We have the Ryan Howard of the AL.

Hard to believe this is his 1st year as an OFer. He seems really natural out there.

It kind of sucks that we got him when we did, regarding his contract status. He seems to love it here, but I don't see him here past '16.

Funny.

Lulu, Yohander, and Evan Van Hoosier

Frisco is a pretty exciting place to be right now if you enjoy watching young pitchers with TORP ceilings. With the addition of Luis Ortiz and Yohander Mendez, the 2016 Frisco Roughriders have one of the best rotations in AA. Evan Van Hoosier is a surprisingly interesting addition as well. Van Hoosier was suspended 50 games for what was probably Adderall, or something like it, and he's returned with a pretty swing and a good approach at the plate. Evan is off to a pretty hot start and has the potential to turn himself into a pretty good MLB player.

Let this sink in.
