Hopefully Andrus will grow up, Darvish will focus, Martin will do both, etc. etc. etc.

Agree on all points. I think this team has it in them to make a 2nd half run and steal a WC spot.

The Rangers making a run isn't that far fetched, IMO. But, I'm the eternal optimist.

The Yankees just announce CC is done for the season.

They just lost Tanaka. Pineda and Nova both on the DL60. That accounts for 34 GS this season.

I know that is just one team they are chasing, but demonstrates how fragile teams are this season.

All the Rangers need is 4 SPs... a DH, a 1B and the rest of the underperformers to step up.

The only run the Rangers will be making is Soto going for a bag of weed. And he may be disappointed to find that DallasAg already smoked it.

So far the rangers have batted the minimum through 4 innings.

I think the run starts...... NOW

Hey... I admit to nothing.

Yet another thread that could derail my run for political office.

Another reason to keep Beltre, aside from what he brings in the clubhouse and on the field...

Tonight's game puts him third all-time for GP at 3B (2283).

I hadn't realized he was that high up.

Behind:
2870 Brooks Robinson (458 ahead)
2412 Craig Nettles (129 ahead)
2283 Adrian Beltre

He should easily eclipse Nettles next season.

For all players, he is ranked 94th.

That seems crazy, at 35.

Some HGH and if he can play into his 40s... that'd be huge.

Realistically, he has this year and next. If he gets 50 of the 67 remaining this season... add 130 GP next season. That put him at 2537 GP overall and puts him past Nettles...

That would be 47th overall, behind Pudge (2543) and A-Rod (2568) of note. Nettles is at 2700.

I think Beltre is nearing the end of his time at 3B. I'm surprised he is in the field in Toronto, with the turf. If he is at 2413 at the end of 2015... He still has 457 to get to Robinson. He has a vesting option for 2016 ($16M).

I don't believe he has 3 full seasons at 3B after 2015. If he were to stay with the Rangers in 2016, he could get 130 GP at 3B... You could platoon him and Gallo in 2017. Gallo (or Ryu) would seemingly be at 3B... but if you could get him some GP at third... you could continue to chip away. It'd be hard to get there, though...

This is when you wonder if the team has just learned how to lose.

Comes across like a whiny ***** in his post game quotes

Agreed. I was laughing at him.....

play the game Cobra. It was 2-0, not 12-0.

Colby has lost his mind .

Yeah, that little outburst during the game was ridiculous, and he clearly didn't come to his senses afterward either.

It's a risk teams take when they shift, I don't know why more players done take advantage.

That's Colby venting his frustration that his pitching career may be over

Bad form by Colby Lewis to complain in that situation. And then to whine that he didn't try to steal second on him?! Lol.

Beyond embarrassing

And down early. Again.
