I want to ask Darren Oliver how in the fuck you walk the 8th place hitter and a pinch hitting pitcher.

Those pups out of Chase really have brains. Even as puppies you can see them processing everything going on around them.

It's pretty amazing, he takes to most commands after 3-4 repetitions. Its like he is 10 years old and been following them his whole life

Just don't hammer him with obedience too much too early. They can get sticky when you do that.

Oh no we don't worry too much on that, just teaching him some basics, like "come", he sits, he shakes hands, and will lay down, with some prompting but mostly he follows hand signals. At 17 weeks, just letting him be a pup and have fun, no strict obedience stuff. He and my GSP,and my wife's 16 week old cockapoo just play all day. Will do some heel and whoa stuff later and none of the check cord stuff really at this age now either. Probably in a couple more months

Watching baseball tonight on ESPN. Honestly, the last thing I want to hear is a woman's analysis of what a player should or shouldn't be doing to correct their struggles. You've never played anything resembling top flight baseball. Stfu.

I can deal with women reporting on mens sports, doing recaps and such, but as far as women analyzing or critiquing players in men's sports, it isn't something I put much credence on.

Funny I was thinking of asking why did you even think to stop throwing the curveball. And why do you think your FB had any chance at all? Regrets

Exactly. I also hate that woman they have doing commentary on Big10 football games. Ugh.

I don't follow much CFB, I honestly haven't watched much since college 20+ something years ago. The woman I have the toughest time watching/listening to is the one from his and hers, or whatever that show is called.

Please tell me more about how you imagined hitting against Randy Johnson would be like...

 

[WastinSomeTime]

The Angels must have felt like they were playing the Oakland A's with those freak show hits in the 8th last night. Don't you know that was just killing Angel fans. Wish TAG was an Angel announcer. He would be going crazy over those hits.

 

[WastinSomeTime]

This Ranger team is quite a tease.

 

[scotsman1948]

so are we buyers or sellers?

 

[donaldson79]

Imagine my surprise, since I feel asleep in the 7th last night, to see the score this morning.

That Ephland knows a thing or two about pulling victories. haha

Maybe we are stand patters or stay putters or whatever we want to call it.

I could see us doing nothing this for sure.

The thing I don't want us to do is to do anything which isn't focused toward the future, 2016 and beyond, and little to do with 2015.

Right. I don't want any bandaid solutions. We have had too many that have come and really not add much value and in the process cost us players and then they are gone at season’s end.

Never a doubt!

Not Rangers related but baseball related. When Pedro Marinez said in response to Colin Cowherd's statement about the DR by saying something like he needs to get to my level, I am in the Hall of Fame didn’t he just validate what Colin was saying. Not sure how Hall of Fame equates to being educated. Just throwing that out there.

This reminds me, at least a little, of the Don Imus situation from a decade or so ago.

ESPN hired this guy b/c of his "different slant" and controversial opinions, to now fold tent for doing so is absurd. I do suspect his being yanked off the air had much more to do with his leaving their network than it did for his stance on this subject though.

If you go back and listen/read what he said, and how he expounded on it later, this was really much to do with very little.

But hey, the PC world of the USA today again rears it's head.
