Sorry bud for the wrong info. Turns out the Ranger bullpen is a weakness.

Bad bullpen + starters not able to go past 5th inning is not a good combination.

Good thing we can only win games if we score 8 runs. At least we know what the offense needs to do.

:lol

No problem. I didn't end up with any of them in my FBB leagues. Dyson was great for me last year but I was a bit leery of him as a lock-down closer heading into this season. I did not get any of the other guys either, though it would have been nice to have pulled the trigger on Matt Bush. He was drafted since we used Holds as a category in both leagues I play in.

I do have Lucroy in both leagues and he has been awful so far. I don't expect that to last much longer but it has been brutal. I have Gomez in one league and he has been decent so far. Low BA, but that is to be expected. Would like to see him start picking up some SBs though.

Have they gotten things ironed out with their pen at all? That hasn't been why they have been losing lately, right? They just kind of suck from what I can tell. The rotation was the real question mark coming in and I think that is probably still the case isn't it?

They just aren't playing well. Batting average is horrid up and down the lineup. I think .254 is team lead for an everyday player. Maybe Andrus is a little higher. I think the bullpen has settled down but I'm still nervous. There just always seems to be that one inning that does the pitching in and it's usually by walking batters. I know it's still early but they better start playing or Houston is going to get out of reach.

Well, that was a painful ass raping. Thank you, Texas.

I would gladly change places. I will take the series win and you can have this game.

Snark is all the Reds fans have right now. They have not been relevant for a long time, are not relevant now, and will not be relevant for the foreseeable future. The Bandwagon Cam is also not an original idea. It has been used before by other pro sports organizations.

All that said, there are definitely a lot more people walking around in Cubs gear than there was a few years ago. Comes with the territory. Interest in the team is always stoked when they are winning and dormant fans come to life. Bandwagoners? Sure, a lot of them. But it is kind of sad for a second-rate organization like the Reds to attempt to make fun of them. Sick burn, losers.

Lighten up Francis
 
The Rangers went through theirs a few years ago. I do see a lot more interest now then pre-world series Rangers so good to see the continuing support. The attendance is still high and that's even with the Texas summer.

I don't know how I ever put up with it. I'd go see the Rangers in Houston 10 times before I'd want to sit in the Arlington Sun all afternoon. I used to go all the time when I was a kid, but I doubt I'll go back until the new park is open. Maybe for a Spring night game

I generally keep my trips to April/May and then September/October. However we have tickets to Pudges jersey retirement ceremony in August. Hot and crowded is not something that I'm looking forward to.

I am anxious for the new stadium but not sure how often they are going to close the roof. I think I heard on nice days that they want to leave it open. Guess it depends on their version of nice and appeasing the baseball purists as well.

I think living outside Texas for too long corrupted me. Once Summer comes around I become a total indoor kid
