Huge win. Can we build off it? can’t let up with the Astros coming to town soon.

Can't let up ever. Regardless of opponent.

10 biggest surprises of the season's first half

2. The first-place Rangers … and the first-place Reds?

The Rangers certainly went into the season with high hopes, as evidenced by the huge contract they gave to Jacob deGrom, but most people had far more tempered expectations. That contract so far hasn’t worked out -- deGrom is out for the rest of the year and possibly a big chunk of next year after undergoing surgery to repair a torn right UCL -- but the Rangers still have a five-game lead over the defending champion Astros.

I think the years are a little high by the monetary amount or AAR is low. I would think an average annual salary of 50M won’t even be close. He’s looking for at 60 to 65M per year

Hopefully now that the truck has finally caught up with the team and delivered the missing offense we can get back on track but the lineup needs to unload on the Tigers starter early and often tonight and get max runs on the board.

8/500 might be the sweet spot

8/500 might be the sweet spot

I was thinking 9/575. Trust me some team might even top that

Fun with stats:

Player A: 220 PA, .319 avg, 14 2B, 10 HR, .900 OPS
Player B: 207 PA, . 192 avg, 8 2B, 13 HR, .778 OPS

Should be pretty easy to figure out who is who.

You got me. I know one is Duran but the 2nd escapes me

You got me. I know one is Duran but the 2nd escapes me

it's the player Duran was traded for. Joey Gallo.

Never even thought about him

We’re long overdue for a massive blow out ein

so glad we made that trade. Duran is looking like a stud, smith is looking like the ultimate utility guy, and Otto isn’t done yet.

If only Smith could hit he can play multiple positions above average but his bat is a liability

Yeah not a fan of him at the plate, but he can play so many differen positions and they can pinch him for him later in the game if need be.
