I want to see that man traded to the World Series winner, whoever it is. Get that man his ring.

amen

 

[DT LUNA]

amen

We can all agree on that. He is about the finest at all levels

From my lazyboy myself. Greetings, DT, Duane. Wastin, I know you're out there. And to all.



PLAY BALL!!!

Greetings. I was not logged on or able to watch the game as I was on a plane going to Madison Wisconsin. Our youngest son has been at the Epic Campus this week and I wanted to see it and the town.

 

[WastinSomeTime]

Our offense will have to get after it or we are toast by the break.

It’s hard to agree when you look at who the likely World Series winning teams would be.

I’d never want to do anything to help the Astros and I couldn’t stomach seeing Beltre in an Astros uniform

The Darvish trade left a bad taste in my mouth. In hindsight, he blew the World Series for them, but at the time the deal sucked. I wouldn’t be so eager to make another deal with the Dodgers after they took JD behind the woodshed last year.

And he's been misled. JD has no intention of being that competitive this year.

Well, safe travels, Wastin. Hope you have a great Easter weekend with your family.

So you rather he retire a Ranger with no ring? Sorry can't agree. It's all about Adrian and a ring and not about any team. No man ever deserved one more than Adrian Beltre.

Prediction from Keith Law.

AL West
Houston Astros 98 64
Los Angeles Angels 86 76
Seattle Mariners 81 81
Texas Rangers 79 83
Oakland Athletics 75 87

Should be interesting the shift on Gallo and whether to keep doing his thing or go oppo every once in a while to keep em honest

 

[BULLPEN FAILURE]

@Ephland have a safe trip home

Thanks man. Long day at the Ballpark, but the weather was perfect. Game was disappointing but still had a great time.

Missed going out this year. Have to get tix package for me to make work.

Saw highlight of Beltre introduction. Really first class. Not being able to participate in appreciation may be what I miss most even beyond tailgate.
(Minus being able to go with son). Wow I miss that!

agree. Adrian deserves to have an attempt at winning a WS ring and that ain't happening with the Rangers.

 

[DT LUNA]

Hope we try and beat the shift. This game should give us a better chance of a win.

 

[DT LUNA]

Good start Mr. Doug. Three straight strikes get a K.

 

[Nightcrawler]

I still can’t believe Doug fister is our #2

 

[DT LUNA]

How do you guys feel about Gallo in the two hole? I'm not sure about it. Seems a little risky and Joey singles. Oh well.

That one got out in a hurry.

First lead of the season!
