[Mr. Buddy Garrity]

 

9-7 dub and series win over Detroit. On to Atlanta.

[Ty Cobb]

Not exactly the start we were hoping for from Leiter. Dang we need to get healthy in the starting pitching department!!!

[Ty Cobb]

Gray had a great outing tonight vs washington. 

8 innings 

1 run

RANGERS win 7-1

[Ty Cobb]

Oakland was a launching pad today. 23 total runs on 26 hits. The RANGERS put up 10 in the 2nd inning.

Nice to get a win where they started a bullpen guy and got 5 good innings from him 

[Ty Cobb]

The RANGERS took 3 out of 4 games to win the series with oakland.  I don't what's in the air at the coliseum but there were 65 total runs scored in those 4 games.  The boys of summer get a day off then head to colorado for a 3 game set. 

As of May 9 the RANGERS hold a 1 game lead over seattle in the standings.

TEXAS 22-17

seattle 20-17

oakland 18-21

los angeles 14-23

houston 12-24

[Ty Cobb]

The RANGERS lost all 3 games to the rockies in colorado.

Game 1: lost 4-2

Game 2: lost 8-3

Game 3: lost 3-1

So much for coors field being a great place to hit.

[Mr. Buddy Garrity]

Back in the win column tonight, 4-0 over Cleveland at home 💪🏾

May 20:

The RANGERS have lost 3 series in a row (rockies, cleveland, angels) and are sitting at 24-24.

As of right now they are a team that can't get out of their own way.  Starting pitching is good but the bullpen blows it.  Starting pitching sucks but bullpen is good. Defense is sloppy, especially the outfield play.  Offense has scored 21 runs in the last 9 games.  That's 2.3 runs per game.  Can't buy a hit with runners in scoring position. 

The injured list is long and not sure how soon the help will come.

P-Nathan Eovaldi

P-Dane Dunning

P-Cody Bradford

P-Jacob deGrom

P-Max Scherzer

P-Tyler Mahle

P-Austin Pruitt

P-Brock Burke

P-Carson Coleman

INF-Justin Foscue

INF-Josh Jung

OF-Wyatt Langford

[Ty Cobb]

RANGERS drop another series after last nights 11-4 loss to the phillies. Pitching was bad again and the defense made 4 errors. How does a major league team make 4 errors in one game?

On a positive note Dane Dunning came back from the IL and gave up 5 runs in 3.1 innings.

[wo-s#1]

At this point hoping to be decently healthy after the break and be able to get on a run! The dawgs that are still around now need to play better NOW too…

[bullets13]

The injuries have been insane. 

[Mr. Buddy Garrity]

Well Bochy got ejected in the 7th. We in the bot 8th 3-2 lead. 

[Mr. Buddy Garrity]

5-3 L. Blew the lead. 🤦🏾‍♂️

[Ty Cobb]

Another series, another loss. I’ve lost count, is that 4 or 5 in a row?

[Mr. Buddy Garrity]

Omg we didn't blow a lead! DUB! 😂🤣 6-2 over Minnesota 

[Mr. Buddy Garrity]

Another dub! 4-2 over the snakes. 

[Ty Cobb]

WooHoo, the RANGERS win today 6-1 and win the series with arizona. 1st series win in the last 6. Maybe things are starting to change!!!

[Ty Cobb]

6-0 win today over the marlins for Back to back series wins.
