[Xx srs bsns xX]

We don't have an announcer worth spit.

Correction -- we have 2. But they both are on the radio.

Nadel & Hicks are

Both Texas teams were 1-hit shutout last night.

A good night, not to remember.

Unlike Monte Walsh. Lot of hard hit balls again but all found a glove. Martin escaped certain implosion . Bases loaded twice and some how managed to give up only 3 runs. He kept us in the game long enough but the bats stayed silent. Bad game that sucked.

Jerad Eickhoff

He's starting for the Phillies tonight. Might be worth checking it out.

SandlerJ has done a good job spot starting for Nadel too. Does a good post game show and responsive to public. Young up and coming IMO

I like Sandler and the job he does on the postgame show. I just wish someone would stay in that position longer. I think we have had about 4 or 5 different guys doing that job in the last decade or less.

Before TV it was very important since they were your eyes as well as ears. Now I pay little attention to them with TV and pay more attention to the game drawing my own conclusions and opinions.

I think he was an improvement. To me, while watching the game is preferable even with the commentary, I do like the radio post game. He brings some insider background. While he roots for the team which I like, he does not soft serve his calls. He has made Nadel his mentor who IMO is the number one Ranger fan. SandlerJ is much preferred for me over Grant and even some of the LSB commentary. Tepid is awesome too

Ranger lineup. Go Colby. #strikeoutmachine

If only they ever get offense and pitching on the same page. Maybe tonight.

They have had some good games against Verlander. Need a win to keep momentum going

Does anyone know why ATL-CHC is a day game today?

Well, it is in Chicago. I don't keep up with them, but how many more home, day games do they have than other teams these days?

 

[DT LUNA]

Last game of series maybe?

 

[BULLPEN FAILURE]

Last day of series maybe?

On a Friday?

Edit - Nope, normal weekend series for them.

Edit 2 - "One of the reasons for the 3:05 Friday starts is that the Cubs are prohibited by ordinance from playing Friday night games. That's something the city really should relent on; with the number of night games pushing 40 per season, a handful of Friday night games -- particularly coming off road trips -- would help everyone."

Now that's crazy. Never knew that.

Just checked their schedule. As you know, two more day games.

It's the "Chicago Way" sir.
