DeGrom tonight. I think he should pitch 4 innings, or 75 pitches, then go get ready for spring training ‘25.

Chris Young rec’d contract extension. Good news.

Chris Young rec’d contract extension. Good news.

I couldn’t imagine him leaving but you never know and I was wondering what was taking so long- that is good news for sure

Still watching Rangers baseball~

In the second inning of tonight's game, Adolis Garcia: Took the most awful route on a ball hit up the right center alley, and played it into a G. Springer triple. He then followed that up by absolutely jogging to a ball hit down the right field line and played it into a double. Absolute lazy dog effort. I say the club needs to let him go. What a waste of talent....

I just looked at the Braves lineup. One guy batting .302 and one guy batting .250. Everyone else is between .218 and .246. I don't think the post season is in the cards. The way tonight's games are shaping up, the Braves will be 2 games out of the wildcard race.

what happened to the Rangers this season?

Yep, I'd run him out of town asap.

what happened to the Rangers this season?

Well, the most glaring stats are a .235 team batting average and a -70 run differential ( vs. +195 last season)

Sometime, middle of summer I wanna say, Houston was in Arlington and the divisional race was heated with HOU, TEX, and SEA. Late in the game an Astros hitter hit a semi lazy line to RF.
Garcia had zero interest in sprinting in and making a diving or sliding catch. Ended up costing the go ahead run and eventually losing the game.

I watched him early last season and he was playing the same way. His hitting, homeruns and them winning more overshadowed his poor effort. This year his poor play could be seen by Ray Charles on most days.

Most Cuban players are that way, drives me insane.

I think he does a lot for what he's paid. I dont believe hes stopping anyone from developing, either.

Fell apart - injuries - never could get going. Everything is up and down. Zero consistency club wide.
