Hopefully this can get fixed in the offseason. This group just can't cut it.

This team just doesn't seem like one that's going to make the playoffs let alone do something in them at times.

We clearly needed to pick up another bat or two at the trade deadline.

July was fun but it looks like the offense has reverted back to what it's been since opening day 2024. And now the starting pitching while not terrible seems to be giving up 3-4 runs per night rather than 1-2 runs like they were doing the first 100 games. Need deGrom to return to form or else we are looking down the barrel of a sweep with tomorrows pitching matchup.

What is the ballparks fascination with electric guitar?

One of the many awful "production" elements of Home games. I think it came from Jim Lites, but I have never figured out where it came from... nor why we have it. As a STH... I have no idea what I'm supposed to do as a fan, except listen to it. Which kills any ability or desire to engage.

It grinds on me.

And the "Day-O"... just don't get it.

It's awful. Whoever signed off on substituting electric guitar for organ should be tarred and feathered.

Jose Altuve got to 20 homers last night, which 1) speaks to his greatness, but 2) highlights that we don't have a single damn player with more than 16.

Just such headscratching offensive ineptitude

This offense just needed to be ok.

It really is a mind bender. Absolutely no reason this lineup should not have been at least average, if not top 10 in the league. This is up there with the biggest failures this organization has ever had. With this pitching and defense an average offense could've won this franchise another World Series. I know the season is not over and they're in the hunt of a wild card, but I've watched at least parts of nearly every game and I don't faith anymore they'll be a playoff team. I don't get it; coaching, championship experience, pitching, defense, offensive potential, it's all there to make a serious run, but something is really a miss. What a shame to blow this incredible pitching and defense. I'll keep watching until the end and hope that Bochy has one last rabbit in his hat, but hope ain't a strategy.

What happened? We lost a game to a good team throwing a pitcher that is the favorite for the NL Cy Young award and we're looking to the offseason? We aren't in any worse shape than we were a week ago, and much better shape than we were a month ago. We just took 2 of 3 from a team ahead of us in the WC standings.

Smart (lucky?) move by Phillies to lock up a kid like this for $5 million/year through 2028.

I don't think anyone is writing the season off but we have been passed by Cleveland, lost ground to Seattle since we went into their place tied for third wildcard, didn't make up much ground on Houston this week and although won series against Yankees, lost the tie breaker. The offense looks to have reverted back to the norm and Evo is the only starter looking really great still.

Not having a true three hole or cleanup hitter is hurting the club too. When I spell it out, yea it sounds like the sky is falling.

South Platte is now the voice of reason an optimism on this thread.

Yanks are going to blow it.

Except they didn't.

Anyone see the Josh jacket ceremony? Anything special? I'm pretty sure I was there when he was inducted back in 2019. Why didn't he get a jacket then?

What a start

Another promising start that didn't yield much.

And there's the problem. Three singles and no extra bass hits. One run. Better than none but need crooked numbers.

Any chance we could DH for Heim and give the pitcher a shot? At least a bunt would put it in play.

At least we didn't strand the runner in scoring position!

Is Adolis ******ed?

And now caught stealing wipes run off the board. ****ing idiot

Dammit I hate stealing third when it's not successful.

I don't mind the attempt but he was going back to second when lazardo made his move. An awful jump.

This team is both brain dead and coached very poorly.

And of course Burger then gets a hit

Why the hell is Heim in the lineup anyway?!! Left handed pitcher. Why not Higgy?

Has to be a Heim/DeGrom thing.

Spoken too soon

Son of a ***** still left a guy in scoring position!

Maybe quit trying to run on Realmutto!

Stop giving away outs! You can be aggressive when you are putting up crooked numbers. This team needs baserunners!

They might end up winning tonight, but this is the most unenjoyable Rangers team I've ever watched. The stupidity and low baseball IQ is maddening.

Actually, this is like the 2025 A&M baseball team. So many similarities. Just absolute **** baseball.
