We have two Beltres now. Engel or Adrian?

It's pretty clear the Garza deal isn't going to happen. They tried being buyers with no success (who else out there is worth having?)

And the Rangers can't win with this lineup. Now they can't pitch OR hit. How do you not show up to play on Pudge Rodriguez's Rangers Hall of Fame Ceremony Night?

JD made his career off one trade (the deal for Elvis). Can anyone say "one-hit wonder"?

My god you're a moron. They are two games out of first place and they are missing 4/5 of their opening day starting rotation.

Despite O GAWD NO pitching last night and Yu serving up early batting practice the night before.

They gave up 2 and 3 runs, respectively. TERRIBLE PITCHING!!!

O GAWD NO had nowhere to go but up after his prior performance (which had to be the four worst innings I've ever seen in any MLB game--in fact I've seen better performances watching the LLWS).

Yu was throwing batting practice pitches most of the game--the 3rd inning was just as bad except he kept the ball in the park, giving his defense a chance to help.

Seriously, Q-man. You have no clue about reality.

Yu serving up batting practice? He gave up 3 runs in 7 innings. He's been dominant in his last three starts, basically.

It must pain you the Rangers are in a tie for first.

Ask my homeowners' association about the number of complaints.

Nah. If they pull off a playoff berth I'll be happy to be wrong.

The Arizona game, absolutely. But not Tuesday, that was just another middle-of-the-road showing.

Right now rating the rotation Garza is tops. Depending on which week it is either Holland or Yu comes in at #2 with the other at #3. Perez is #4, and finally O GAWD NO smelling up the rear.

Honestly if Ogando is your team's #5 starter, things aren't nearly as bad as they could be.

Also at Yu being considered #3 in the rotation. What criteria would you be basing that off of?

Srsly?

Holland is third in the AL among starting pitchers in WAR and Yu is sixth. Outside of Detroit (Scherzer and Sanchez), no team can beat that top two.
