That game reeked of asshole.

Not attempting to be negative here, but when was our last good rookie first start?

Believe it or not but I’m thinking it was Tepesch going back to what? 2013?

Nick Martinez had what counts as a Quality Start in his debut in 2014. Chi Chi pitched 5.2 innings if shutout ball in his debut in 2015. Chi chi added a complete game shutout in his second start.

Please tell me this Hearn fella is not a future hopeful.

Supposedly, but who knows if he was even paying any attention to what the IKF was asking him to do.

A game like this (after the series in the sewer) is a good way to rip the guts out of a pen and make the team start questioning itself, Woodward has his work cut out for him. (and so does JD).

3 more days before they get home. It feels kind of hopeless right now. The team has gotta get at least 1 game up here to maintain any shred of confidence.

0-7 would be so damn brutal.

I think the questions were already there, this team was playing way over their heads as it was, this is just par for the course, just sucks for fans... I pity those that got their hopes up after a somewhat good start

Maybe if we lose 15 in a row, you'll become so disillusioned that you'll stop posting... that would be worth it!

I don't think they'll go o-fer on this trip, Seattle is in the process of cooling off from their hot start and their BP is not much better than the Rangers they've been thru more pitchers than Texas has if you can believe that.

Now, that is a tad harsh. We have less regular posters than the Rangers have pitchers and you want to run one of them off. lol

It’s cool. I’ve grown used to it over the years.

He’s angry all the time. He probably watches Fox News a lot.

I second that.

There is always questions to every team every year, some teams just have fewer questions than others. Injuries is what's hurting them right now, square replacement pegs don't fit too well in round lineup holes. Another issue seems to be JD skimped on signing SP pitchers in the off season and it's coming back to bite them. Past history shows guys coming back from TJ surgery don't pitch 200 innings and he knew the upper minors was bare.

People in other forums have accused me off watching Fox News too, but I never do. Of course, I would never watch the trash CNN puts out either.

This team is going to really disappoint you if you think we are going to continue to win most all of our series. Maybe it is not as bad as some of us thought it would be. Then again, maybe it is.

At some point a Hearn, or Palumbo, or Burke, or Hernandez is going to come up and impress. At some point Crouse, Ragans, or Winn is going to do really well in Frisco and really get our hopes up. Until then it is going to be very rough at times.

I quit watching CNN back during the 1st Gulf War when their coverage was less than stellar/accurate. The only time I see any FOX news is when I'm eating lunch out somewhere and they have it turned on.

You're annoying and WHINING all the time... and you rail on and on about about the same damn things over and over and over and over and over and over, we get it, you don't like Odor, I have a lot of the same issues with Odor and how the club has managed the situation, but seriously, move the fuck on.... Hell, you're still babbling about Banister and they actually did get rid of him

I literally post less often because its the same dog and pony show over here, all the time

RE: news

I don't watch any news programming on TV... I read most of my news and I usually read articles from multiple sources... and I never watched Fox News when I had cable

I think we will do much better second half with new pitching brought up

More than once I've reminded folks this is a evaluation/rebuild yr and not a contention yr.
