They are TWO AND A HALF GAMES OUT OF FIRST PLACE two games after the All Star Break.

They are missing 4/5 of their Opening Week starting rotation, and this is obviously Nolan and JD's fault because they just don't have the baseball knowledge or skill to keep frontline pitchers from getting injured.

They are in the top half of the league in all important offensive categories and all important pitching categories except for quality starts. Unacceptable. With the talent they have, they should obvious be top 3.

Yu Darvish is (obviously) just a complete joke. Overpaid, overrated Japanese player. His fade haircut must be the issue.

So my question... When should the Rangers implode the BPiA, cut their losses and give the best baseball franchise in Texas tag to the Astros?

Profar sucks and Perez brings nothing to the table. Fact.

They should have done it October 27, 2011.

Losing that game 6 was the end of the franchise. Everything since has been a pitiful effort in futility. At this point, is rather watch the Astros.

OK I know you're calling me out. I have balls so here goes:

quote:

They are TWO AND A HALF GAMES OUT OF FIRST PLACE two games after the All Star Break.


And behind Baltimore for the last playoff spot (and in the game as well).

quote:

They are missing 4/5 of their Opening Week starting rotation, and this is obviously Nolan and JD's fault because they just don't have the baseball knowledge or skill to keep frontline pitchers from getting injured.


Lewis and Harrison hopefully will return and return to form. I say hopefully because you never know when dealing with injuries.

Ogando is far more effective as a short reliever. And with back-to-back injuries resulting from starting, time to return him to the 7th inning or 8th inning guy (or let him close to give Nathan a rest).

Tepesch is a long reliever at best.

quote:

They are in the top half of the league in all important offensive categories


After the past two weeks you may want to recheck that. And they are near the bottom of the league in average with RISP.

quote:

Yu Darvish is (obviously) just a complete joke. Overpaid, overrated Japanese player. His fade haircut must be the issue.


No it's that the Rangers are paying him $117 million and barely can get 6 innings out of him. They can get that many out of Perez (and now he's starting to get hit way too frequently).

quote:

So my question... When should the Rangers implode the BPiA


When the AAC lease is up so Arlington can have two Mavericks (Dallas and UT Arlington). (The Stars will be in Seattle by then.)

quote:

and give the best baseball franchise in Texas tag to the Astros


The Astros couldn't beat out the Longhorns for that honor no matter how many WS they won. And I can't stand the Hideous Burnt Orange Club.
