Your Texas Rangers are 2015 AL West Champions!

[MajorCharlesRane]

Ok, that's more like it.

 

[UK Cowboy]

I'd almost be up for putting Gallo at 3rd

 

[DT LUNA]

I'd like to put a fist in Stroman's mouth

 

[DT LUNA]

Alberto will never start for the Rangers

 

[UK Cowboy]

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.

On the other hand.....

 

[MajorCharlesRane]

I don't even see how Beltre can watch. It must be killing him to just sit there.

 

[MajorCharlesRane]

Cole is at 74 pitches already.

 

[DT LUNA]

Take note Elvis That is how to bunt

 

[MajorCharlesRane]

Fuck...

Hamels just isn't good enough today.

 

[MajorCharlesRane]

Rangers beat their ace, and the Blue Jays are beating the Rangers'.

 

[DT LUNA]

Hamels just isn't good enough today.

Not even close but neither is the offense.

On the other hand.....

3 runs in 5 innings without Beltre. The offense isn't the problem.

Hamels isn't pitching well. Even with Alberto's 1 error, the Rangers should be winning this game. Adrian Beltre is not a necessity for the Rangers to win this game.

 

[MajorCharlesRane]

They have to force Stroman to throw more pitches. That's all I got.

You're right, but you could make the argument that we'd be up 3-1 if he were in there

 

[MajorCharlesRane]

Hamels isn't sharp that is for sure.

Wrong. But Adrian not there is not necessary if Hamsls pitches well.

 

[MajorCharlesRane]

Spin rate? Seriously?

 

[MajorCharlesRane]

Prince is an out machine.

 

[MajorCharlesRane]

Josh, we need you!!!
