Somehow Holland gets out of that inning without giving up a run.

Was thinking the same thing. But he's pitched, overall, a pretty decent outing so far.

Man, our bats sure have taken a turn-for-the-worst.

Derek is putting together a very good start through 4 innings.

Roundtable: Will a woman break through in MLB?

For Romeo.

Don't really care what it says. Imo, the answer is no, and that's exactly how it should be.

With the prospects out of the lineup we just done seem like we come to play. Hopefully they are just ready for ST to be over.

Ya know, I'm pretty sure I'm older than your dad, but I'm more open-minded, in some cases than you are.

It's not a bad thing. It's just something I've noticed about ya.

It's not about open mindedness. I'm so sick of this culture where if you disagree with change of any kind you're labeled as closed minded like it's an insult. My reasoning has nothing to do with sexism or chauvinism or anything like that.

OK.....If you're talking about PC, I'm on-board beyond your imagination. I'm the poster-guy for all things "not correct," if you get my meaning?

Unfortunately, that part of our lives seems to be growing, and it wears me out too. What can we say?

Let's go Rangers.....good outing from Holland, and very nice to see how Desmond is handling himself with the team, both on the field and in the dugout too.

I can understand your feelings about not wanting a female athlete in baseball. Clubhouse chemistry, circus atmosphere and all.

Glad to see this outing from Holland as well.

I will go one step further. I don't care for girls playing Little League with boys.

Derek has thrown 61 pitches through 5 innings. Great outing.

Desmond going to fun to watch this year.

 

[WastinSomeTime]

Did anyone see the assists Desmond had today? Just asking because I did not. Nice job at the plate though.

Yes, I saw the one on the Rangers Facebook page. Soler wasn't in any hurry at all.

Yep. Made a very good throw from centerfield wall to first on a hop. Runner was taking time. Don't think he was expecting a throw.

Not to mention the way it changes how the game is played, and believe me, it will drastically change how the game is played. With that said, I don't think it will ever be an issue. People don't realize what physical freaks these guys are because the game does move slower than most any other sport, and I just don't see any woman, let alone women on a consistent basis being able to physically develop into athletes that can compete and win at the highest level. It's biological. They're just not built that way, and whether they want to admit it or not, women are designed differently than men.

Now, I could see women umpires being brought into professional baseball, which I'm also against, but that's another conversation.

I'm watching at work. In a regular season game he doesn't get the runner at first. He fucking nailed the guy at home though. Straight up bullet.

Agreed.

 

[WastinSomeTime]

Nice job from Bush.

 

[Duane1952]

Matt Bush looked good.
