Four total runs in the series. We definitely aren't any better than last year

It's a joke. Not only is it a massive visual downgrade from the BPIA, it's an obvious cash grab by old man Davis.


I just don't understand for the price how you couldn't make it look way better from the outside and find a way to bring over a little bit of the charm from the Ballpark.
So many things I find hard to believe that people signed off on.

I couldn't care less how the stadium looks. I just want it to be a normal ballpark and not completely mute our offense.

I think it would be good if the Rangers scored more runs

I know I'm an extremist on this, but…that ballpark is a symbol of the contempt the ownership group has for the fans. It's a Jerry Jones level of "we'll just throw some piece of **** out there and you suckers will pay through the nose to watch the team"

I'd be less irritated if it played more straight up, but it's seemingly worse than places like the Astrodome for hitting. To me, that shows how little care or intention went in to designing it. Which would be consistent with how half assed it is aesthetically.

I get that it's a dud of a stadium but the other team has to play with it too, we just suck more at it

You have to challenge that strike call at this point in the game. Wasn't even close to a strike

I thought so too. We didn't get a replay. But clearly looked like ball 4



Am I missing something about the challenge system? Not challenging that is as dumb as De La Cruz getting doubled off 3rd.


The hitter has to immediately challenge, and I think some just aren't in the mindset to do it so quickly.

I agree with that. It's the only thing that makes sense. It sucks because I thought the Ballpark was the coolest place in the world. And not one thing about the new stadium reminds you of the ballpark other than seeing it over there through the glass windows. Now I went to my token one game of the year last night and that's probably it for the season for me.

Yea but the other team plays a quick series. We have to hit in that cave 81x a year. That has to mess with the hitters heads.

Watching Joc's antics around the bases after his HR make me hate him more than I did before. Most normal people, feeling some level of embarrassment in their previous results, would put their head down and get around the bases. He just makes a clown out of himself.

For sure, definitely comes across as a dewsh. Takes a lot for our fans to turn on someone compared to other fan bases. He was definitely getting some boos earlier in the game

Tonight, I made the command decision to take fan reactions and give voice to them. This is the 1st one. When time is available, I'll make/post as often as I can to the various outposts on the internets including here on the Texags juggernaut.

My son thought the same. Seems like half my son's high school home runs were balls he got under that the wind accidently drove over the right field wall. His coaches always gave him **** for those. "Ya still missed it, Lefty"

It's way past time for us to fire Donnie Acker.

Season is not over, and I do think we'll bounce back a bit, but this is what I thought of after that series against the Reds:

Donnie Ecker….and he was fired, he's with the Orioles now. The hitting coach is Justin Viele

No sweat my brother. I'm good for a decent one-liner every now and then.

Sometimes you just have to laugh your way through the pain.

It was clear he was getting that fastball timed. Mix in a slider and risk the BB vs a middle middle fastball

Hanging out getting ready for the hoops game, so only can watch some tonight with no sound. But he looks a little off as you said. Pitch count getting up there too for early in the game.
