They’re one of the most fragile and egocentric fan bases in all of sports. Their fans on Tigerdroppings should be studied for science

They will just be getting blistered by the Astros.

Pretty fragile. I’d expect better from the champs, but here we are.

I love the fact that Rangers ownership has literally poured over a billion dollars in player salaries into the team over the past couple years and it's paid off huge dividends for them. It would have been very easy for the Rangers coming off a 102-loss season to just decide to tear it all down and rebuild from scratch especially with the Astros in the same division and pocket the profits. There would be much better competitive balance in baseball if there were more ownership groups like the Rangers.

Lapsed Braves fan here, so I have no real rooting interest other than this seems like a good bet. $30 placed.

Fragile, huh? Where are all these Rangers threads when the team is absolutely sucking dick? At least Astros fans are fans and not pitiful front runners.

None of that matters if they don’t fire Jon Daniels.

The Rangers would be running away with it if their bullpen hadn’t shite on many many leads this year.


And Astros might have the lead if their bullpen hadn’t shite on so many leads. So sounds like it’s about right so far

We called up a dude from McNeese yesterday that came in and looked like he wanted that middle to late relief job. He was nasty.

The offense will regress a bit simply due to law of averages. SP has been great. Bullpen has been a dumpster fire.

If deGrom comes back healthy and they get some seriously needed back end bullpen help then they will be contenders.

Too early to start parade planning though. LOTS of season left.

Lord Peagle? You choose a symbol from the ugliest City Connect jersey known to man? All of the MSB already agreed on that.

The Marlins are -46 but somehow still above .500 and only 4 games back behind us.
