I didn't mind the foul poles. Anything that keeps ads off the uniforms, I'm OK with.

Yeah, uniforms would be worse but still not a fan.

Damn it Martin!

Somebody send me a pm when we decide to show up at the ballpark for a game.

 

[TheRangerDude]

Banny probably just trying to get everyone involved early. Especially with us having such a long stretch without a break to start the season.

Guess that makes sense.

 

[Duane1952]

Alright some offense. Come back Romeo.

 

[romeo212000]

Here we go.

 

[donaldson79]

Here we go.

That little sabbatical didn't last long. ha ha ha

Threaten to leave again next 1/2 inning please.

 

[donaldson79]

Somebody has gotta be the last to know, right? Swear I didn't know Banny had that tattoo on his inner-forearm.

 

[Bmurph]

[Bmurph]

[True Rangers Fan]

an 8 pitch inning is exactly what Big Hoss needed.

Yeah I've seen it. I believe it's to do with beating cancer.

EDIT: nope, his father.

Wonder why Andrus is sitting today. He is hitting the ball better than anyone so far (granted its a really short so far).

Yeah, I thought about that too.

 

[DT LUNA]

Holaday showing up nicely

 

[Bmurph]

82 pitches in the 5th, not long for this one, I wouldnt think

 

[saddles]

Holaday showing up nicely

Yes, he is.

 

[Bmurph]

looks like he's got a pretty good arm back there

 

[saddles]

I have been concerned about Colby and this start doesn't help, but he certainly deserves the benefit of the doubt for now. For now.

Understand. Ya know the end has to come some day when you hit mid 30's

I don't know if you're getting to watch/listen to the game, but it's been noted how he was the Johnny Bench Award winner at TCU. So apparently he can really catch/throw. Now, if he can hit his weight, not so sure.

But honestly, hitting is almost a luxury to me if you catch/throw/call a good game behind the plate.

We got 6 outta Colby, which is all I wanted when the day started. And after the first, I wasn't thinking this would even happen.
