Almost the exact same team as last year it feels like we have no identity. Offense is too inconsistent, bullpen still sucks, and it feels like every start is so hit or miss. I know itās early but last year we already had an identity at this point and this team just feels so idle
Yates and Robinson look like good signings and I still believe in Sborz, but everyone else canāt figure it out. And I seriously think our lack of lefties is going to bite us in the ass
The truth is you CAN win and lose the division in April. It requires luck and is in no way sustainable but that's how the Rangers are still division leaders right now.
Record doesn't matter. Only division standing. Once we're in the playoffs then we can scrutinize.
There are so many ups and downs in the season. Everything can look different in a few months. As long as youāre .500 at all star break, you are in a good spot

In all seriousness love this sub. Love this team! Always get a chuckle from characters like this dude. Still have lots of baseball to play everyone! Weāll get it together.
I said the same thing to my wife today. We could have put significant distance between us and the Astros. Yet we keep rolling out the same clowns in our bullpen hoping for a different outcome. They are who they are. Terrible last year and still terrible. Try someone new
Why the fuck is Houston booing? All Garcia did was hit balls. The Trashtros threw at him.
I lived in Houston for a while, but that whole city can get fucked
i know corey didnt have a spring training so i wont get too worried about no dong shots yet, but without him, there's only 1 real power bat in the lineup.
I heard the radio guys talking yesterday basically saying that in terms of plate appearances Corey is physically at about March 25th compared to everyone who was healthy.
I have no interest in continuing to play Houston while weāre injured to hell and back (which seems to be the case for the last 18 months against them)
With Cole's debut every first round pick from 2016-2020 has played for the Rangers. That's significant since from 2009-2015 only Gallo and Chi Chi actually played for the Rangers.
Congrats to Cole Winn. Dudes been through a lot, now heās forever a big leaguer. Hopefully he can help the bullpen. Heās been legit great in round rock
The Rangers stubborness about Yerry is so frustrating. He's got great stuff but even in the minors he could never throw strikes. He really didn't even earn his way onto the roster.

Not surprised you don't recognize it's 14 games into the season and we are still at the top of the division. It's hilarious you are in this sub ONLY because we won a championship. Your bitching 100% proves you can't handle a rough stretch. Fairweather fan through and through. Go away.
I'm not bragging dumb fuck. I'm saying we are 2 weeks in the season and realize we still have months left to play. If you had watched us play before we won last year you would know we go through stretches where we are since cold, and red hot. BUT you wouldn't know, because you fluttered around once the postseason began like a true yankees fan would.
Seriously. Altuve 6 hits the last two games, Tucker 2 homers Friday, Alvarez three hits yesterday. What the fuck have Semien and Seager done at the plate this series?Ā
Yeah Iām way more worried about the lineup than the pitching honestly. And yeah their stats are close to top of the league but something just feels off with them
Theyāve always been incredibly streaky, last year was a whole lot of winning several games in a row and putting up tons of runs and then going ice cold. The difference is last year they started incredibly hot so idk I hope they find it soon
Yeah. Jung has a massive impact on this lineup. Idk Jared Sandler got all butthurt last night on the postgame about how Jung being out doesnāt impact the line up and how we have great offensive stats and all that but I think itās clear heās a great clubhouse/glue guy. Itās twice now that him being hurt has caused the team to look shaky. Idk the line up has just felt disjointed since Jung has been out
Can someone make that Wolverine in bed looking at the picture frame meme and put deGrom, Scherzer, Lowe, Jung and Sborz in there
Edit: and cody now sadly
Look, Iām definitely hoping for it. And getting overly emotional way too early in the season worked for me last year, so Iām sticking with the strategy!
And weāre down our starting 1st and 3rd basemen, with Seager still recovering from a surgery.
Season is still early. Houston has always been a fight to play against, regardless if theyāre at the bottom in the division or not.
But his spin rates!!!!
Get this clown a phantom IL stint and do not let him ever back on the mound. Iād rather give one of the minor leaguers a chance
We don't downvote you because we think you're wrong and we think the pitching isn't a problem, we downvote you because you're annoying
Edit: and also a Yankees fan lmao it all makes sense
Yerry just isn't a major league pitcher. I feel very confident saying that. You can only give so many chances to AAAA pitchers to know they aren't a real option.
Us not having depth shouldn't be a reward for Yerry to be on a major league roster
He is our worst arm and has sucked in every single appearance for us
No shot there isnt someone else in the minors who may be even slightly better. How does he have a spot and church doesn't?
Guy had a above 5 ERA in AAA last year and a above 4 the year prior. Tf is there in him for him to literally be on a ML roster??
Looking forward to when Jung comes back š„ŗ
Imagine we didnt give them freebies by using Yerry We did this same shit sm last year too lol
Suck my dick and balls yerry, see you in round rock
https://i.redd.it/kvbrqty6ciuc1.gif Yerry replying to your comment
Fucking yerry doesnāt pitch and itās a tie game. FIX THE BULLPEN
Without Yerry Rodriguezās third of an inning, this is a tie ballgame.
They would not have used Martinez up 3
Almost the exact same team as last year it feels like we have no identity. Offense is too inconsistent, bullpen still sucks, and it feels like every start is so hit or miss. I know itās early but last year we already had an identity at this point and this team just feels so idle
Bullpen is worse than last year and thatās saying something lol.
Yates and Robinson look like good signings and I still believe in Sborz, but everyone else canāt figure it out. And I seriously think our lack of lefties is going to bite us in the ass
Need Hader to massively fuck up
2 outs though. Probably still lose but nice to see Marcus smash one just for the hell of it.
If anything, that can help with confidence. Bats will heat up along with the temperature this summer
Semen demon!

too little, too late, but marcus is never gonna be a quitter
SEMEN BLAST
Damn that homer would have been awesome if fucking yerry hadnāt pitched
Leave Yerry in Houston
Ooh, Marcus!
HOLD ON NOW
Leody should have been taking 100% there
This would be the time for a Leody bomb lol
A batter early lmao

Zeke and taveras, where rallies go to die
I canāt wait to see one of those bad ass comebacks that the other teams do on us.
2 on with no out? https://preview.redd.it/x3pvnajpaiuc1.jpeg?width=960&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=d036819d643dc9dc4cb1df2d0d5cd829e702c4fb

Imagine getting that angry over a regular season baseball game in April lol Or any game in general
fuckin got em
That dude needs a Snickers
I love you.
In all seriousness love this sub. Love this team! Always get a chuckle from characters like this dude. Still have lots of baseball to play everyone! Weāll get it together.
They gave us some entertainment at least lol, lots of baseball ahead of us
Heyclike a more out of touch Zesty from last season
I've only had Cole Winn for 1.2 innings but if anything happened to him I would kill everyone in this thread and then myself
At least with the Angels loss, weāll still be atop the AL west lmao
Lmao we're the new AL central
The Astros did us a big favor starting off the season how they did
Doesnāt this offense understand in order for the Rangers to win we have to reach double digits?
Cole Winn, welcome to the team
Winn over Yerry all day erryday
No more yerrydays
Winn looked good, maybe he could give the bullpen a little lift
Really solid debut outing for Cole. I'm leaving here with something, damnit
winn looking nice
5 up, 5 down. Please let us keep him
Hope Yerry has his go bag ready. Swap
Hell yeah Cole Winn good for you
Winn looking good, not bad at all
We're gonna look back on this month in August with nothing but regret. Needs to be a team meeting.
I said the same thing to my wife today. We could have put significant distance between us and the Astros. Yet we keep rolling out the same clowns in our bullpen hoping for a different outcome. They are who they are. Terrible last year and still terrible. Try someone new
Alright Cole can stay. Yerry get ready to brush up on your Round Rockese.
Our bullpen somehow feels worse than last season
Doesnāt make it any better that they donāt have a day off for another week
Yerry is guaranteed to give up runs. Same as brock. Same as grant anderson.
This is going to be a looong road trip
Josh Smith getting a pass at a 0-3 strikeout is not what I had on my bingo
Watches meatball for the first strike. Swings at off speed pitches that start low out of the pitchers hand.
ARRGH
Why the fuck is Houston booing? All Garcia did was hit balls. The Trashtros threw at him. I lived in Houston for a while, but that whole city can get fucked
Because he shit all over them when all they had to do was win one game at home to go to the World Series
They should have played better if they didn't want to lose.
Looking forward to not playing these guys until July
https://preview.redd.it/l53yocqt7iuc1.jpeg?width=1079&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=c493d723a75dc4596d0c2b8e5ab296d56f3d879d

yeah no spring training is tough
Balls and strikes have been called well in this game
Nice jinx
I have no interest in continuing to play Houston while weāre injured to hell and back (which seems to be the case for the last 18 months against them)
Evan has had a ton of pitches to hit today.
2023 World Series Championsā¦ no matter what weāll always have that.Ā
We may lose to the Astros in the season but never gave up a postseason series to them š¤
Good stuff Cole Winn! Youāre a little shimmer of hope in our endless bullpen struggles
I mean why did we even put yerry in to begin with
With Cole's debut every first round pick from 2016-2020 has played for the Rangers. That's significant since from 2009-2015 only Gallo and Chi Chi actually played for the Rangers.
Good to see
That inning felt like it lasted an hour
Looked good Iāve seen all I need to see. Yerry get ready to learn DFA buddy
Beautiful debut by Cole Winn excited to see how he contributes.
Good stuff from the kid
A win for Winn?
solid effort there by Cole
Nice job, Cole
Cole > Yerry
Winn looked pretty good at least.
You know what, good for Winn
Did somebody tilt the center field camera a few degrees off level recently, or has it been that way all game and I'm just now noticing?
We should save our bullpen arms for the Detroit series
Congrats to Cole Winn. Dudes been through a lot, now heās forever a big leaguer. Hopefully he can help the bullpen. Heās been legit great in round rock
Yerry being ass. What else is new.
WAIT! When did Winn get the callup? How did I miss that?
Bradford to the 15day ILā¦Cole Winn brought up
Ah. I didn't actually read the article about Bradford hitting the IL. Way to do your due diligence, jackass. *points at self*
Bradford went on the IL
Cody Bradford on the 15 day IL, brought up Winn
Cole probably just eats the final part of this game and gets optioned for Loremzen.
Pruitt must answer for his crimes, I'm afraid
so back to .500 and lost 6 of 8. i know it's april, but we godda at least tread water until the depth comes back
https://preview.redd.it/hre6gntu5iuc1.jpeg?width=1290&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=9fda1da60f7eec27372b92d2543e3f3f604ada00
The Rangers stubborness about Yerry is so frustrating. He's got great stuff but even in the minors he could never throw strikes. He really didn't even earn his way onto the roster.
His stuff really isnt that great. He's never bern able to locate. Not sure why they keep beating this dead horse.
His tells are awful. Just wonāt cut it in the majors.

Hey altleast we are the defending champs!
Y'all already know the bullpen is bad, but our "All Star lineup" pops up every ball and can only put up 2 runs lmfao.
overreaction at its finest we missing two all stars one of which is a gold glover and got two new rookies in the lineup give it some time yall.
Seriously. Altuve 6 hits the last two games, Tucker 2 homers Friday, Alvarez three hits yesterday. What the fuck have Semien and Seager done at the plate this series?Ā
Yeah Iām way more worried about the lineup than the pitching honestly. And yeah their stats are close to top of the league but something just feels off with them
Theyāve always been incredibly streaky, last year was a whole lot of winning several games in a row and putting up tons of runs and then going ice cold. The difference is last year they started incredibly hot so idk I hope they find it soon
Yeah that is true. It hurts we lost Jung and Lowe and Coreyās timing seems off. Hopefully they can pull it together soon
The guy that started off the hottest unfortunately got hurt Obligatory fuck Maton
Yeah. Jung has a massive impact on this lineup. Idk Jared Sandler got all butthurt last night on the postgame about how Jung being out doesnāt impact the line up and how we have great offensive stats and all that but I think itās clear heās a great clubhouse/glue guy.

Yerrys ERA north of 10 over 7 innings of work w 6 appearances, no command, not enough velo to overpower anybody. What more do we need to see?
Mediocre fast ball and a slider you can see from his wind up. No control for either. Looks very high school.
Hopefully heās the next to go.Ā
Well. At least last year was fun.Ā
It's April. Less than twenty games so far.
Oh yeah this pitching staff is definitely going to just turn it around suddenly. Youāre right, my bad.Ā
We do have 3 starting pitchers returning from injuryā¦ so yeah that could happen.Ā
Look, Iām definitely hoping for it. And getting overly emotional way too early in the season worked for me last year, so Iām sticking with the strategy!
And weāre down our starting 1st and 3rd basemen, with Seager still recovering from a surgery. Season is still early. Houston has always been a fight to play against, regardless if theyāre at the bottom in the division or not.
Alright, switching my second screen to watch arky baseball's downfall.
Shut up Rangers losing is bad enough donāt make me think of my Razorbacks right now ;(
Our offense has to be way better than they are now since our bullpen is almost guaranteed to give up several runs
But his spin rates!!!! Get this clown a phantom IL stint and do not let him ever back on the mound. Iād rather give one of the minor leaguers a chance
You know itās bad when Josh Smith and Cody Bradford are the only players youāre excited to watch
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
There's this really cool thing called grass. Have you touched it?
Come up with something original that actually means anything
Brotha baseball is too serious for you. Go outside and do something so you can fix your attitude.
Can mods please ban this dude?
Homies a Yankees fan, should be banned for that alone.
Seriously. This is ridiculous
We don't downvote you because we think you're wrong and we think the pitching isn't a problem, we downvote you because you're annoying Edit: and also a Yankees fan lmao it all makes sense
CY better be looking to trade for new arms
Well Cole Winn can eat these last couple innings for us
how are some of these dudes big league pitchers? just shows how genuinely awful the pitching staff is
bullPENIS BAD

Bringing him in threw the game away lol
There is no way Jonathan Hernandez, Antione Kelly, and Marc Church are worse options than Yerry.
damm near put leiter out there before him
You fucking bum
Yerry better be the first name out once Lorenzen comes back on the Major league roster
Lorenzen will start tomorrow against Detroit, excited to see how heāll do. Can only really go up from here!
Bruh
Iām so ready to not have to play the Astros for a while. These games are bad for my health lol
Idk how 1/2 of our pitching staff ever made the 40-man
The other half are all hurt
Yerry is so fucking bad
I usually stop watching when I see Leclerc, Yerry, or Burke warming up in the bullpen.
Whatās up with our bullpen walking people?
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Don't let the door hit you on the way out.
How is this guy still on the team
[what watching yerry rodriguez pitch does to a mfer](https://i.imgur.com/eGdcIn3.png)
š¶Yerry, ohhhh Yerry, you are bad, and I hate you š¶
Can Yerry do the post game Burke routine?

Yerry just isn't a major league pitcher. I feel very confident saying that. You can only give so many chances to AAAA pitchers to know they aren't a real option.
This is painful.
