The Grill gets fired up for 4 against the *'s: HOU @ TEX 4/25-28

[True Rangers Fan]

Back in the day we drove a minivan and brought small kids to the game. I was about as hard core as you could find back then. I even had my own scorebook and kept score. I would listen to the radio broadcast while at the game. You don't have to act like Yankees fans or Eagles fans to be hard core.

I'm still completely puzzled by the idea that the Rangers are doing things wrong because they are... prioritizing families instead of guys who take baseball way too seriously.

I don't understand why they are thought to be mutually exclusive.

Jamey can respond at times.

Did you get to read where article I was responding too. He was pretty much justifying the trade as being one he would not undo based on Howard currently being in the majors. I just thought that was hilarious.

Yes That was a flimsy argument.
I don’t mind him trying to be patient and on the fence but To act like it was a winner trade is foolish at this point

Still think Howard should be in AAA

Miller actually at 9.

My immediate thought when seeing that is that Woody is just throwing shit against a wall to see what sticks.

Logic is a strange thing.

Food for thought:

How every team's top offseason acquisition is doing

Red Sox: Trevor Story, SS
How acquired: Signed as a free agent
The Red Sox gambled on Story’s down 2021 season being a fluke when they gave him a six-year, $140 million deal. While he certainly hasn’t collapsed out of the gate, his numbers look awfully similar to last year. A little worse, actually: He’s hitting .234 without a single extra-base hit so far.

Twins: Carlos Correa, SS
How acquired: Signed as a free agent
I’ve made this joke before, but: Have they thought about turning Carlos Correa off and on again? Correa, as high profile an addition as the Twins have ever had, has stalled out of the starting gate, hitting .192 with just one homer in his first 14 games. The Twins are still in first place though, so there’s plenty of room to grow.

Rangers: Corey Seager, SS
How acquired: Signed as a free agent
Seager hasn’t been tearing the cover off the ball like you’d like, but he’s Corey Seager: He’s going to eventually start crushing it; everybody knows that. But what’s going on with Marcus Semien? His .188/.260/.250 slash line is, fair to say, not going to get it done.

Nonsense. DFA him

 

[DT LUNA]

Well that didnt take long. 1-0 Stros

 

[That One Guy]

This might be the worst Rangers team since the mid 80's. Hard to watch the suckage on TV every night.

 

[DT LUNA]

Pitch count beginning to climb for Otto. He worked out of a jam without giving up any runs.

 

[DT LUNA]

Garver gets #2.

Coulda been a rally there
