We are a year ahead of schedule and have had a plethora of injuries to key players. Bullpen needs to be gutted like a pig.

Dad and I used to watch Ranger games whenever I visited the family farm. We were always disappointed.

Also need at least one or two solid starters. I know deGrom’s injury changed things but Dunning should be in the bullpen and Heaney is not cutting it.

Rangers are 3 games back with a lot of baseball left. So I’m going to offer you an opportunity to kiss my dick and say “let’s see how it plays out, frick face”…. Thanks!!

Very surprising collapse with current manager…. Thought Boche would get them deep into playoffs.


It was known the bullpen was going to be an issue. Solid starting pitching and an offense that was one of the best in MLB helped hide the full shittiest of the bullpen for most of the season. Starting pitching and offense started going cold halfway through August.

Congrats to all the Astros fans for clinching the division.

Did anybody think he was going to actually hold up for an entire season? This is one of the least shocking developments of the season. The Rangers rolled the dice on him and came up snake eyes.

At some point one of these gutless pitchers should have put someone on their arse. Too many big hacks.



So you’re saying becuase they are getting too many hits, a pitcher should throw at them?

Clearly you weren’t a ball player. When a team is getting too comfortable, yes, big league pitchers (less and less now) are known to brush back or… gasp… hit a batter. If that scares you, I apologize.

Similar in scope to if a team wasn’t hitting well enough, they would implement an illegal cheating system to make aware the hitters what a pitcher was about to throw. Not that anyone would want to do that though ;)

Choking in EVERY big game/series?

I mean, how many have there really been? They're an incredibly shitty franchise that has blown their 1 or 2 opportunities.....

It doesn’t scare me. It’s just bush league to the max lol

“This team is beating my arse and I apparently can’t stop them in a normal game setting, so let me throw at them”

Epitome of pussy
