I hate Joc Pederson, with every fiber of my being. Does not deserve to be in this lineup yet we keep trotting him out there. Automatic out.

This offense at home is worse than the STARS debate!

He sucks but he has a three run bomb if we don't play in a graveyard…I think. I'm at the game. Did they say how many parks that would've been a homer? Is that why the roof is closed? Would it be even worse if it was open?

According to Baseball Savant his shot in the first inning would have been a home run only at Yankee Stadium

We may need to. Stadium is one big dead zone

The black holes in the lineup currently are:
Langford .171
Smith .125
Jung .111

And our boy Pederson, hitting a robust .000, 0 for 13

Langford needs to sit a few games. TF are you looking at? Pitch was right down the ****ing middle

It's kind of crazy how Tom Schieffer painstakingly ensured the old ballpark would be a fair test for both pitchers and hitters, only to see the franchise blow that up and turn it into a launch pad by installing the club behind homeplate, and now completely miscalculating how this one would play.

There are a lot of things I like about this stadium when attending, but I still think the suites behind home are an atrocity followed by how the park plays. I still hate turf for baseball, but I understand the why behind it

I hate this ballpark. I'd rather be sweating balls and watching actual runs being scored. And electric guitar Take Me Out to the Ballgame is still a complete abomination.

Multiple balls hit at 100+ Mph at optimal launch angles that die before the warning track. Total insanity

Another epic fail for Joc.

Can we cut Joc yet?

Joc doesn't even look as good at the plate as he did last year. He's just rolling his bat out there guessing, hoping the ball finds it.

0-14 after bus start last year……I know he has had some bad luck but man the gig is up. He and Martin gotta go and bring in new blood.

Meet the 2026 Texas Rangers…same as the 2025 Texas Rangers

I get why they are there, but the typical stadium look with fans in seats behind home plate just looks so good.

That game was boring AF!

I guess Rocker looked alright and Latz continues to be a bright spot.

Everything else sucked
DannyDuberstein

Right. And I'd maintain that if you build in 1st class comfort seats, big legroom, and great service, you could make close to the same $$$ for that square footage with a much more classic look

Not good when 8 games into the season we are already complaining about stadium seating while the game is being played.

It's because it is impacting the game. And we started as the shut out was all but done. Most of it was post-game since it was a short game due to a plethora of well hit balls sent to die

I get it, I'm just saying there should be enough action or opportunities at this point for that not to come up yet. Losing 2-0 in our second home game is rough for a variety of on field and off field reasons.

Someone needs to rattle Wyatt's cage. It's simply unacceptable for him to watch meatballs go by for strike 3 the way he does. If he has any designs on actually being a premier player in this league that 94 mph center cut fastball he stared at needs to be buried in the stands. Tired of Spring Training Langford taking 3 months to do something.

Tired of Chris Young's uncreative roster management. Tired of Ray Davis' closed wallet. Tired of that uninspired and hilariously dead ballpark. The whole franchise needs a kick in the ass.

And another thing! This team doesn't draft for **** and has a terrible farm system. All those badass rookies tearing it up across baseball? Won't happen in Texas anytime soon. Freaking unbelievable how they completely pissed away 2023 like it was nothing.

And now ladies and gentleman, it's time for the running of the original Major League Dot Race, presented by Golden Chick. Make your pick now! Red? Blue? Or Green? Reminder: This is an exhibition. No wagering please!
