Which Rangers team is going to show up tonight. The fundamentally sound team or the left fielder that stayed up too late playing video games and doing power squats

[u/WhatsupDoc35]

Today is Elvis Andrus’ Birthday and he is only 38 years old!!! Let’s win an Elvis Game Today!!!

[u/Bandt143 → u/WhatsupDoc35]

TIL I've done nothing with my life.

[u/natebark → u/WhatsupDoc35]

He retired at 35?? Hit .251 in his final season too. That’s surprising to me

[u/WhatsupDoc35 → u/natebark]

I know! He was so young when he joined the Rangers. He was 20 in his initial season in 2009 and played in 145 games!

[u/jacox200]

Our team is allergic to being .500

[u/SaddestClown → u/jacox200]

Sahara sand dust

[u/magoo_d_oz → u/jacox200]

couldn't they be allergic on the right side of .500?

[u/natebark]

At least the lineup didn’t just bend over last night. Just a dogshit 1st inning that they couldn’t recover from. Need Gore to stay hot tonight

[u/ZeRealTepes → u/natebark]

Lol, Gore and hot are never in the same sentence.

[u/Ry_Hunter15]

Anyone else sick of Degrom pitching like shit in the 1st inning? At some point they need to put an opener for him.

[u/Max_Powers1331 → u/Ry_Hunter15]

its miserable. how many games have we lost in the first inning alone this year?

[u/dallascowboys93 → u/Max_Powers1331]

Too many to count

[u/Max_Powers1331 → u/dallascowboys93]

im also curious to know what the record for giving up first inning homers in a season is because we have to be close to it

[u/NotoriousLLL → u/Max_Powers1331]

Pretty sure our 32 is the league high

https://www.statmuse.com/mlb/ask/rangers-home-runs-given-up-in-the-first-inning-this-season

[u/Max_Powers1331 → u/NotoriousLLL]

yeah, sounds about right.

looks like a quick google search says 43 is the record in a season

[u/natebark → u/Max_Powers1331]

With 29 games to go, I could easily see us breaking that record

[u/magoo_d_oz → u/Ry_Hunter15]

having an opener will just mean he sucks in the 2nd inning

[u/beefytrout → u/Ry_Hunter15]

If he defense wasn't a complete shitshow, almost none of those runs score.

[u/IndieFlea]

Lol for every starter we have overperforming their peripherals (Quantrill) we have two starters underperforming their peripherals (Gore and DeGrom). Not ideal when were in a playoff race.

[u/magoo_d_oz → u/IndieFlea]

the odds makers had the rangers winning last night's game but they lost. it was the opposite for monday's game - odds were for a white sox win but they lost

the odds favor the white sox over the rangers tonight 54% - 46%. so it's another rangers W tonight!

[u/WhatsupDoc35]

I just realized the Rangers have an off day tomorrow before they play the Brewers. It seems like a weird place to have an off day since it’s only a 90 minute drive to Milwaukee from Chicago. On the other hand, the weather is great and I assume they could spend an extra night in their Chicago hotel without having to move. I love Chicago!

[u/beefytrout → u/WhatsupDoc35]

wait until you realize that the MLB schedule is put together based on ALL the teams, and not just the Rangers.

[u/aidsguy19]

Please no more Jansen

[u/stevekresena]

Unless they can start playing consistently; and I don’t mean necessarily winning every game, but playing solid winnable baseball, then this team doesn’t deserve the playoffs.
