Your Texas Rangers are 2015 AL West Champions!

I think some of you are falling too much in line with the whole media nonsense about how Texas will be hard-pressed to win without Beltre. His absence is being greatly overblown. Of course his loss will be felt and the chances of winning are better with him in the lineup. But he's just 1 guy out of 9. He's not superhuman. He has gone 0 for 4 plenty of times and we still won. We've still got Choo, Mitch, Elvis, and Odor, and possibly could get contributions from Josh, Prince, DDJ, and Gimenez.

The loss of Beltre does not mean Hamels absolutely has to throw a gem now to win. 4 of our 5 runs yesterday had nothing to do with Adrian Beltre. We won without him. We can certainly do it again today.

Don't know exactly who you are talking about but I for one have said we can win. Of course like any game, everyone will have to chip in and do their part. P.S. Screw the media.

Losing Beltre on offense hurts. Losing Beltre on defense hurts more. In a close game an Alberto double-clutch or errant throw could be a game changer.

Want him back asap. Heart and soul of the team.

But yes the Rangers can win a game without him as long as Hamels throws a gem. Stroman pretty salty as well. 4-0. 1.67 era.

Hopefully we get it to our pen and they shut the door.

And good riddance Lloyd McClendon. No more rotation shuffling for you.

 

[DT LUNA]

DDJ lucky with that drop ball.

CHOO!!!

 

[DT LUNA]

Choo you devil. Thanks for the RBI

 

[ESPN Refugee]

YES!!!

 

[DT LUNA]

Give me a HR Mitch. Let's win this one quick. And the Jays give us a run.

 

[romeo212000]

We'll take it!!!

 

[romeo212000]

Elvis, you are killing me.

 

[ESPN Refugee]

Thank you Mr. Donaldson!

 

[romeo212000]

Are you fucking kidding me, Mitch?

 

[DT LUNA]

Are you fucking kidding me, Mitch?

Crap like that will lose a game.

 

[ESPN Refugee]

WTF

 

[Xx srs bsns xX]

Are you fucking kidding me, Mitch?

Grounder to 1st.... 1 out. USUALLY the runners advance. Not Mitch's fault. Its Fielder's.

Disclosure - I'm listening to the game.

 

[ESPN Refugee]

What did Prince screw up on? Ugh I'm happy for the great start but we could have easily scored 3-5 runs.

 

[romeo212000]

You can't play dumbass baseball in October. You have to know the situation. Had that kid on the ropes and Mitch just went full fucking retard.

 

[DT LUNA]

WTF

Who knows. You have to work at being that dumb

Mitch has to know Fielder isn't fast enough to score on that ground ball.
