I think they are going to be in a little bit of a squeeze because if he keeps pitching like he has in his last 3 starts the price is going down and they are going to wish they had pulled the trigger earlier. I agree as I would like to see them make the mistake of keeping him as well. Don't know if there is a franchise that has made more stupid moves. Don't remember them all but I do remember Gary Matthews Jr, Vernon Wells, Josh Hamilton, Pujols even though he surprised me that he made it through the contract even if he had to hobble through it and I have to include Trout in the mix along with Rendon even though we wanted him as well so we dodged a bullet on that one.
I guess we dodged a bullet with Josh, too, and maybe even to a lesser extent with GMJ.

and Otuo is not a relief pitcher.
That was the first time he pitched in over 2 weeks, maybe they should have left him in the minors to get some more innings before they called him up...

Pretty easy to sum up whats happened so far Dodgers patient at the plate Rangers antsy...

Kind of how they did Ragans.

Saw where Ragans pitched against Tampa Bay and went 5 innings giving up 4 hits and 1 run.

lol what made it horrible? didnt enjoy the lets go dodgers chants? i was at the game but im not so vocal lol. it felt like easily half the place full of dodgers maybe more than that.

Most of it was that i was sitting behind the most annoying fan I've ever encountered in my entire life.

Loud, never stopped talking, talked shit unnecessarily, and half the shit out of his mouth was stupid or wrong.

When the Mavs won the championship my son and I were at game 3 against the Lakers and this Laker fan was shouting obscenities constantly and acting like an idiot. The Lakers were ahead for 3 quarters then the Mavs started hitting 3's all over the place so the guy left when we went ahead and then eventually won. His brother who was very civilized apologized for his brother's actions but that was ridiculous.

Sometimes a change of zip code does wonders for someone...

That is especially so when those in charge at the first zip code didn't handle them right.

It is time for Bradford to be moved to the rotation in Perez's spot.

This series is exactly why the Rangers are not ready to compete for a WS. Teams like the Dodgers and Braves are far better offensively and Texas’ SP is not pitching to the level they started the season at. That and we all know they facked up the BP situation like they have continued to do for years.

They better have some plans for SP or start over 2024.

This team reminds me of the 2009 team. Up and coming, but not there yet
