...and the hits just keep on coming...

who's got the "when it rains, it pours" gif?

Now is the time to make some big changes. Brocail isn't getting it done. With the same staff, we are way worse. Also, hitting is a huge miss. The reason we won games last year is because we manufactured runs, not relied almost entirely on the long ball. On top of that, we are as a team having very poor at bats. Errors are getting out of hand big time... This is what I said a few weeks back, we are in a bad way all the way around. In fact we are lucky to be 5 games back of .500. Bannister is going to have to find a way to get these players to remove their heads from their ***', or its an embarrassing long season...

The reason the rangers won games last year is because they had a historical record in one run games. History(that seems to be big here) says the law of averages will always win out. It was a good run last year.

And my phone just alerted me to expect Hamels to be out the next 8 weeks with an oblique strain...

That is going to hurt. Griffin coming back will help but I dont think he is Hamels.

So you think last year they were just "lucky"? Lol

In part yes. And I dont mean that in a disparaging way.

Well, you can't this year. You should have last year

[gingib]

My hardcore Rangers buddy just txt me about Hamels injury and said look for them to trade Darvish before the deadline! Sounds like giving up to me

Edited, not worth it

Gambler's fallacy. Their record in 1 run games last year has no effect on their record in 1 run games this year.

You are right.....so far those records are polar opposites. Which will eventually take them back to the mean.

You new to baseball around here? Every year during the Astros/Rangers series we post in the series thread and this one falls down the page...even when we were owning yall. ...

Keep up..

Oh c'mon now! This is a place for us Rangers fans to sulk without the Astros fans watching. [emoji23]

Hoping for a W tonight!

I expect this thread to change towards the Rangers draft plans soon
