I know these guys eventually will tank and tank hard, but man are they fun to watch right now. Baby Shark is on fire and it seems like he has put the team on back. It's awesome to watch them grow up right before your very eyes. |

Their pitching is forcing them to live and die by the offense. They've won one game where they scored less than 5 runs and that was their one shutout. I'm surprised they've made it 15 games in and are middle of the pack in the division and a game above .500. Seven games in the next 2 weeks against the red hot Astros and the previously hot before boofing 4 straight Mariners might bring them back to Earth. |

Fuck those dudes. The Silver Boot will be ours once again! |

I would love to share your optimism, but that Stros team hasn't lost a game since the series here. |

Mike Minor opened a can on the Angels. Love it. |

So Minor receiving interest from other teams is a knock on JD? Unreal. |

Suck it, Angels. You lost again and got swept by the pitiful Texas Rangers. |

This home plate ump must be blind in his left eye. He's wildly inconsistent on the left corner. |

Evan Grant Verified account @Evan_P_Grant 4h4 hours ago Rangers are retiring Michael Young’s No. 10 on August 31. A move that is overdue and deserved -------------------------- Hoob's take on this: I hate retiring numbers. |

I think the practice is a little overused especially with the Rangers and their small window of success, but I can't get real bent out of shape over retiring his number. Yeah, he bitched and threw fits in the offseason over getting moved around the field, but he always played full out when it counted and he was the only player that looked like he gave a damn on some really bad teams. |

I guess I agree. I tried to get worked up about it and fight with Evan's twitter followers who seem to think he's MLB HOF worthy, but quickly realized I don't really care. The Rangers HOF and retired numbers seem kind of cheap at this point. I'm still sour on him from game 6 and 2012. |

Young's bitching and rapidly deteriorating defense is what really turned me off of him. Seemed like at least once a game I yelled "Ole!" at the tv while he let a ball roll past him. And don't get me started on game 6.

You're welcome. I actually don't remember his errors. I remember two hard hit balls to 1B that he swiped at to protect his face and they went as singles. Maybe those were the errors or maybe there were two additional plays, but Mitch would have made the plays. I remember something along the lines of the camera cutting to Wash and him saying "we gotta get him out of there" (then proceeded to trot him out there every day in 2012 despite Young being the worst statistical hitter in the MLB). I don't want to diminish his career because of a couple of plays (he wasn't THAT good overall though) or due to the decisions of a manager, but here we are. And yes, I had serious confused face during Junior's comments this morning. |

This will make some people's heads absolutely spin into orbit: from a statistical standpoint, if you put Michael Young in the team hall of fame and retire his number, shouldn't you do the same for Ian Kinsler? There's some #leadership factor to Michael Young that you don't have with Kinsler, but there's an argument that Kinsler is better statistically in some significant categories. |

| Post subject: | Re: Rangers 2019 |
Kinsler was a better player. I'm guessing longevity has a lot to do with it. Kinsler also went scorched earth when he got traded. Young handled it pretty well. Arod had more wins above replacement in this three years in Texas than Young had in 12. Just sayin'. (Can't be mad) |

Since there's no 2020 thread, I'll just jump into this one. I'm done with Odor and so is the Twitterverse, but it looks like Woodward is content to let him find a groove. 2 for 15 with 12 or so LOB and a few strikeouts doesn't sound like much of a groove. Signing Dietrich sounds like there's a chance Odor sits at some point. As shitty as this division is, they have to think that sneaking into that 2nd playoff spot is at least a possibility. It probably all comes crashing down to earth anyway when they have to finish the month against the NL west and Oakland. At that point, I would like to see Tejada get some regular time at 2B if Odor is still spinning his wheels. |

I was all in on Odor before the punch, but that was because Profar ended up being such a disappointment. |

I didn't have a huge problem with the contract at the time because he was coming off of a decent year at the plate (although a shit year on the field) and had some pretty good upside for a 22 year old. GMs have to gamble like that and it's easy to look at it 3 years in and see that it's a pretty untradeable deal. |
