This thread needs some real trash talk not boring stat analysis

The mouthbreathers in that thread have spent years clamoring for a ball to be put in someone's ear. It takes only a minor perceived slight for them to call for it. Bunch of sad little children. It always saddens me to think some are ags.

When your team is hot garbage, you gotta try to manufacture alternate narratives to make yourself feel better

Not sure what's butthurt about it. Bunch of whiny ass pansies trying to act like Astros are being thrown at which is a gigantic crock of s***. There's one guy I recall actually throwing at somebody between the two teams and he wasn't a Ranger. Of course according to your thread the Astros may also be throwing at Chirinos because he talks to Altuve at the plate and the Astros hate that. Then again I've been assured repeatedly that the Astros are better than that and would never throw at anybody.

I know y'all are checking the box score and checking the Astros' thread, so why aren't we seeing any of y'all in here? Have y'all accepted the tanking strategy? Or are y'all still holding out? Poor fellas, it must suck to have absolutely nothing to say.

Yes I've personally accepted a bad season

Oh hey buddy. Congrats on your graduation. Let me know when one of your teams does anything of relevance

The tanking strategy will literally not work for anyone else ever at this point. Good on the Astros for being the one and only because it worked with one team trying it. Now that half the league is trying to emulate it, it's a fool's errand.

Chicago did it first.

Fair enough. Point stands though. At this point it's not working for anyone while half the league is doing it.

Might want to avoid looking at official Astros threads too closely in that case.

If I never hear the words "soggy tampon" again, it will be too soon.

You idiots can't figure out why Odor is still in the lineup when it's so incredibly obvious.

JD figures if they're paying him that much he should do his part to ensure a high draft pick.

Tank mode = Engagaed

Half the league is in tank mode. Ain't gonna work when everyone's trying to do it

Hello purgatory

How did someone not share this in here?

Its a few days old, but your ace just wants to pitch in the playoffs. Too bad it'll never happen in Arlington.

Rangers fans be like...

12.5 back, but on the bright side they were 7 last year at this time so maybe the tanking is working?

I was told the Rangers were above that dirty tanking we saw the Astros undertake

To be fair the Stros spent the better part of a decade tanking, difference between that and selling at the deadline

What a beetch Odor is

I thought with the new rules that wasn't really tolerated anynore

The Rangers are so lucky to have such a great second baseman in Odor. Such a team player.....must've had his head up his ass when he was being coached up about not stealing when down by three runs in the seventh.
