You've got a AAAA player batting second
A washed up SS batting third
A spare part at cleanup
A complete black hole batting 5th (when a righty is pitching)

That doesn't even get touch the jokes that are Josh Smith and Josh Jung. Fully 2/3rds of the Iineup is guys that are questionable ML starters right now. That's totally on CY and the front office. Yet another year of scoring 3 runs in a series. I'm usually pretty patient but I'm ready for some heads to roll.


Holy overreaction Batman. Calling Langford a AAAA player and Seager washed up?


My Seager take might be questionable…but I stand by my Langford take. He's giving major Mike Olt vibes these days. IDGAF what he did in the thin air of Arizona, or when the pressure was off these past two seasons.


Mike Olt? Do you have a concussion?

I completely understand that we have had some really rough pitching matchups recently. The Reds and Mariners, once the Reds get Hunter Greene and Lodolo back later this year, could have two of the top five pitching staffs in all of baseball. Heck I think Chase Burns is looking at a potential Cy-Young caliber season if he can stay healthy and stay in and around the strike zone, but man is it such a downer to score 1-2 runs a game when you are at home. We've been unlucky too, but gosh it needs to be better.

In my defense, I was overserved Sunday. Might as well have been a concussion.

What really set me off was Langford's last AB on Saturday, where he watched a very hittable pitch for strike 3. For some reason that set me off. It's all out of my system now and I'm good. Carry on and let's go Rangers!

I've caught a sneak peak from a buddy at a sports store up in y'all's area. The jerseys polos and shirts don't look too bad. But I think the color of the pants and the hats will make or break it though.

Every starting pitcher has given up an early dinger this season.

From what I understand, we have never beaten this guy. I'm watching the Stars but keeping up with this game.

Yep. We are so aggressive up and down the line up and teams know it. If we could see some pitches, we might get to bullpens sooner.

Someone mentioned earlier today or yesterday, that we have faced a murderers row of pitchers so far. They won't always be this good. I don't know if patience even matters in regard to the pitchers we've faced since Friday.

This teams unwillingness to play aggressive on the base paths is playing a huge role in this offense's struggles. So many lead off walks/ hits and they just sit at 1st.

The Higgy/Jansen platoon is working so far.
