You’re also the only team in Texas to intentionally tank as hard as possible for multiple years in a row just to build up a sad farm system, engineer the biggest system for in-game cheating the game has ever seen, trade for a known woman abuser who literally no other team would touch, and then applaud an employee who bragged about how awesome domestic violence is.

So… there’s that feather in your cap as well. Houston- forever suffering from little sister syndrome. Their biggest goal is always to top Dallas, while Dallas concerns themselves with topping much bigger fish like New York and Los Angeles in all sports.

I agree with bringing in someone ahead of Perez. And that's not a knock against Perez

I was talking about Newberg putting Gray ahead of Perez.

Although, I have no problem with Perez as a #2, but then I expect him to pitch close to as well as last season. I might be the only one to think that though.

Heyman

Seems a little rich
We should tell all the Mets fans how stupid of a signing it is haha

This is the guy I thought the Rangers might be in on. Wonder what we do for a closer

They must have been told the Rangers won the bidding for Reynolds/Bednar and they acted quickly to secure Nimmo/Robertson
Reports will come out tomorrow about the Rangers getting Reynolds and Bednar.

I’m just talking $H!T lol

I think the JD stupor regarding the bullpen has had a lingering effect on CY. If they convert another starter to a reliever we will know that it has.

We try our best to spend as little as possible when we go to the game. We usually try to eat before going if we can. My wife and I usually split an order of nachos and try to make it on a couple of Dr. Peppers apiece while we are there. We never buy souvenirs. We also park as cheaply as is available.

You mean try to not get ripped off as hard as everyone else on parking.

all parking prices are a freaking rip off at games.

I understood. I've already gone on record saying that anyone slotting Gray ahead of Perez is dumb.

What I was saying is that if the Rangers are set up so that Martin is the #3, then they have done a lot of things right and should be in fantastic shape, pitching wise.

At least some of the private business lots are cheap, comparatively speaking. I believe we spent $15 the last time we went.

I wonder what kind year Otto will have with DeGrom and Maddux..
Wonder if Dane Dunning is traded?

I'm putting money down that Dane or Glenn will be traded away before ST

Right now, this is what I would expect our rotation members' ERAs to be this year.

2.70
2.90
3.80
3.90
4.20

This is what I guessed the other day with Otto being the middle guy. Of course, I guessed this as if he was going to be in the rotation all year.

I would imagine him and Dunning are going to be counted on to give us innings when we have the inevitable starting pitching injuries. Our longer term rotation depth has already taken a hit with Englert being given away so I think they would see the current depth as important pieces. If both Winn and White make a push to show they are both ready to come up, then maybe Dunning gets traded at the deadline.

If it is for starting pitching then yes but otherwise I think not. Especially Otto as I see him as a winning piece in relief if our rotation is stacked
