Like most the season, hard to blame the pitching when they have to be perfect every damn time out cuz this offense struggles to put up more than 2 runs a game.

The fake turf is embarrassing. Of course, it's not about baseball. It's about having a Shakira concert in the middle of the season.

Swinging at that on 3-1

Woof.

Haggerty needs to start over Garcia

Mostly tongue in cheek. All the end of the world last night before the come back. We all know it's not over but once again this offense gives little hope. Just a poor pitch to swing at by Garcia with a guy all over the place. Rinse and repeat.

You guys sure are tuff on Garcia. He had a bad 3 game stretch, other than that he has been pretty much nails this season. You don't boot a reliever with plus stuff and a 3.2 era.

---

disagree, he has become an auto loss when he enters the game. Don't care how good his stuff is supposed to be.

How does he not have the take sign? What an abysmal homestand.

This is my least favorite Ranger team.......ever.

Interestingly enough the Rangers are 32-20 when he pitches in relief

I wish he would start getting fined

This offense just sucks ass so much. Flat out pathetic. Sick of it.

so we should have been 42-10 in those games perhaps?

It's amazing how we did nothing to add offense at the deadline. Not a thing.

Garcia with bad swing choices and then two 100+MPH outs for a 1-2-3 ninth.

That sums up this team.

With an offense that could score more than 2 runs every other game perhaps

I truly think Adolis being in the lineup is holding this team back. His ineptitude and selfishness is beyond comprehension.

I've said it several times, but it's time for CY/Boch to have a serious conversation with Adolis Garcia. He needs to be a role/platoon player moving forward.

He's been a big part of it but there are guys making way more money on this team that continue to come up short in big spots.

And watch Garcia run in the outfield. Never going more than 75%. Not ever.

You clearly never saw Kevin Reimer play the outfield.

He half asses baserunning too

I agree, but I don't see CY or Bochy doing it.

I really hope getting Kelly at the deadline didn't negatively affect what they can do in the offseason. Between CY's reputation for being hyper competitive and him wanting to get Bochy what he needs to win another ring, he might have just screwed the organization for a while. Anything can happen if you get in the playoffs, but this team is so hard to watch that I just want them to hit the reset button and get some of these guys, coaches included, the hell out of here.

I told my wife leaving the game on Friday that I'd rather just splurge and watch the Rangers play on the road for a series every year than go to home games anymore. The stadium just doesn't do it for me. Other than Chuck's voice they didn't bring one element of charm or nostalgia from across the street.

I've finally gotten used to watching it on tv and I hate that.

Not sliding in to 2nd in Seattle was the tipping point for me. It's just who he is. Not to mention the terrible swing decisions. That stuff falls away easily when you have an OPS+ of 127, but it's really freaking annoying when it's 89.

They did well with the air conditioning and the food choices. And Texas Live is great to have.

Everything else about the stadium sucks. The fans badly wanted grass and they tried to compromise by selling everyone on how grasslike the fake grass they used would be. It's not. Because it's fake grass. And baseball fans don't give a damn about the concerts that you can hold there because they aren't going to them. And concert goers have plenty of other venues for that without adding another one.

And instead of having a beautiful stadium from the outside, they built the world's largest Lowe's home improvement store. Sucks.

I wish I could get used to watching it on tv but I can't listen to Dave Raymond's moronic comments. It's either on mute or I'm following along on the app and listening to the radio feed.

It's not made for ball knowers. It's made for people who need constant stimulation. But in their defense I guess that's most people nowadays. It's a cacophony of sound. And there is nothing like this day in Rangers history, the Newberg farm report, MLB bloopers, etc. It's just a mix of dance cams, karaoke, etc.

My wife was especially surprised when I said I don't really care to go in person anymore because I would go to 81 games per year at the Temple if I could.

News flash, the stadium the way it is what affords us guys like Nathan Eovaldi, Corey Seager, and Marcus Semien. Without them, we don't win a World Series.

You may not like the stadium, and that's okay. Not everyone does. But we average somewhere around 30k per game, so lots of people still do. Ticket revenue and sponsorships alone don't afford us what we have now. We need the ancillary revenue streams - that includes concerts, Texas Live, Live by Loews, Loews hotel, Choctaw stadium, and other properties owned by this ownership group.

Believe it or not, most teams envy what the Rangers have.

This loss is on me for deciding to go to a movie tonight

Sorry

I want to like it. I promise. I've tried for four years. I don't disagree that the money thing works out. I just think they botched the whole aesthetic and feel of the new park. And there are 26 other teams that get by without turf and Weezer concerts.

Oh I did. Trust me......I did! The thing is the expectations were much lower then, and the team actually scored runs. So it was actually more enjoyable team to watch than this frustrating group.
