Official 2014 Texas Rangers Spring Training Thread

Maybe my memory is a bit foggy but it seemed that even Josh's comments weren't even close to being as bad as Kins' was.

Ehhh... Josh's were more about the fans/baseball town/etc. Hence the fan hatred towards his comments.
Dont think he made any comments about the team/FO... other than the whole "they should have put a ring on it".

Way to not show his butt hurt eh?

Yes Sir, that's butt hurt feelings showing itself loud and clear. Matters to me, I wasn't going to miss him anyways.

Wait ... wait ... wait ... you mean he beat out a double play and a run scored? Well he doesn't get an RBI but the run scored because he beat it out... in spring training. Isn't that what you expect a professional to do?

I think you're missing the point of the debate.

At least I hope you are.

The only way the Rangers make the postseason is if they sign Russell Wilson at 2nd base.

Shame Kinsler wasn't at Russell's leadership seminar yesterday.

Rangers react to Ian Kinsler’s comments | Texas Rangers | Texas Rangers News and Video...

I'm kind of hoping Tepesch earns a rotation spot out of camp. I like that kid.

I agree. I really think he could become a good bottom of the rotation pitcher for us.

 

[WastinSomeTime]

Not really... one didnt get out of the infield...the other was a double play that he beat out.

Yeah, I am not getting to hyped up about those 2 RBI's. But at the same time as irritated that I became with Moreland last year because of his inability to produce at opportune times I am hoping he has a great year. So because he is a Ranger I am pulling for him of course.

JD's job is to make the tough decisions and do business. Not coddle people and wipe their noses. Nothing to be concerned about. Ian is just showing his ass.

Understand this and Kinsler was ridiculously over the top in attacking his former teammates. If you're pissed at the FO then say so and be done with it. Hell, no hard feelings there. But to say something like "hope they go 0-162" is personal, and unprofessional.

But my point is this is at least the 3rd person to leave the organization with very hard feelings toward JD. And according to what I was hearing on the radio this morning, Ryan's exodus was all about JD's ego and not the other way around.

MY got over it, but he was madder than a wet hornet at JD when he left too. That's all I was saying.

Would be funny if Vegas puts a 100 million to 1 odds on this and the ownership places a $1000 bet on it and tells the team to lose every game so that they can be financed like the Dodgers or Yankees each year after.

JD is essentially telling these ppl they're not good enough to be a part of the team. It would surprising if they didnt leave with some hard feelings.

Bet all my VCash that whether it happens on May 22nd @ DET or on Jun 24th @ TEX that Kinsler skies high to medium SS his first AB.

 

[Rudy_Rangerfan]

65 year old Raul Ibanez continues to kill the Rangers 2nd pitch from Yu , he goes yard . unbelievable how this guy kills us .

 

[Windingmywatch]

I think I have watched this game before ...

 

[DT LUNA]

Nice ab for Sardinas . Single to left.
