  1. I keep waiting for the big turn around. ...and waiting...
  2. All the Beni bitchin' can be over with in one swing!
  3. Should Hembree or Workman be our closer?
  4. Game is not over, but this is an ugly pattern we've fallen into and can't seem to get out of.
  5. Big time game for Barnes. GET IT DONE!!!!
  6. Currently, the Rangers hold the 5 slot with a .531 winning rate. That equates to 86 wins. 86 wins! And, nobody expects them to be in the playoffs. At our current rate, we are projected to win 84 games, Cleveland 82 and Oakland 81. I like our chances. We might just need to win 86-90 wins to make the playoffs. My guess is 89-90 makes it. At 89, we'd need to go 55-41 (57%).
  7. Yes, I do. You are totally basing your opinion on what you have seen so far this year. Look at the history of MLB. Teams often have better (or worse) second halves. We have a very good team, on paper, and I expect us to start playing like it very soon.
  8. Before the Yankee sweep in August, we heard this same thing all along. Once we make the playoffs, I will like our chances.
  9. This world is going to Hell in a handbasket.
  10. Lucky just one shot. Lucky not a head shot. It was definitely not a robbery. Nobody goes into a super crowded place, walk up to a sitting person and just shoot him in the back and run away. It was a hit- either by some sort of twisted fame seeker or someone holding a serious grudge.
  11. Exactly, and I'm sure this has been a big focus of his development over the years. I doubt a ML coach or player is going to change him. He is what he is. Maybe he can improve the K rate a little and improve his BB% , BA or power, but he can't continue like he has over his last 47 PAs 22 Ks in 45 ABs 2 BBs .146 BA .191 OBP .222 SLG .414 OPS Last 69 PAs: 31 Ks/ 4 BB (including 1 IBB) .188/.246/.234/.481 47 and 69 PA sample sizes are not all that big, but how much longer do we stick with this? Another 47? Another 69? With Holt, Nunez & Hernandez doing pretty well, of late, I'm not sure we go that long. I'm hopeful he turns it around, soon, and he has gone 3 of his last 11 with a 2B and a BB, so maybe he's begun the adjustment, however he has 6 Ks in his last 12 PAs.
  12. As great as we started last year, especially in April when the Rays sucked, here were are records against top teams on July 31st: (We did not play CLE before July 31st and went 3-3 vs them afterwards) 9-4 vs TBR 4-3 vs MN 2-2 vs HOU 4-5 vs NYY 2-4 vs OAK 21-18 vs all (12-14 vs all minus TBR, who sucked first half)
  13. I heard the same thing last year, until the playoffs started. In 2018, we were... 3-4 vs HOU 11-8 vs TBR 10-9 vs NYY (but it took a late season sweep to get plus) 4-3 vs MN 2-4 vs OAK 3-4 vs CLE 33-32 All In 2019, we are 12-18 vs NYY, TBR, HOU, CLE & OAK. We have not played MN We're talking a 3 game swing (making us 15-15), and we'd have the same winning % as last year.
  14. Johnson was our 6th starter, and he's been on the IL, too. The fill-in have sucked: GS Pitcher ERA as a starter 7 Velazquez 6.41 3 R Weber 7.94 2 J Smith 9.82 This has hurt, too: 13 Porcello 4.86 13 E Rod 5.00 4 Eovaldi 6.00
