    You guys think the Rangers will ever, ever, EVER learn to maybe try to get some good starting pitching???? I mean...good lord, trade two of your good offensive players for quality starting pitching. Trade nelson cruz for a SP. Blalock, Marlon Byrd, somebody. I'd say it's pretty obvious your formula isn't working, Texas.
    My runs created per 27 posts (RC/27p) was 12.4 last year. I should've been MVP.

    They've got enough in the minors that they're probably just waiting.

    I'll take it back if he keeps striking everyone out and getting all these groundouts. Nice!

    They're prospects though. Not all of them will work out..and they seem to have a pretty good track record of getting rid of young pitchers only to watch them be good somewhere else.

    With the amount of offensive talent that the Rangers have had...it's just strange to me to see how they just keep having such awful, awful pitching staffs. I mean...it's not like they are just mediocre...they're god-awful.

    They probably make enough money off people paying to come in and see their team hitting the ball far and hard that they don't care that the other team is also hitting the ball far and hard.

    If I was a fan of their team, I'd be super-frustrated every single year. To see such a great offense be a complete waste over and over and over and over.....

    I would be too.

    I actually talk about that team a lot with my friends. It's a real oddity the way it operates. I honestly think it's just a matter of being able to sell tickets because you can see your team hit lots of home runs, whether they win or lose.

    I'm not sure there's a team in all of baseball whose fans are more accepting of the fact that they'll never win a World Series than the Rangers.

    So far, KC pitchers have 91 Ks on the year, in 89 innings.

    That's sick. Unsustainable....but amazing.

    Re: MLB Talk

    Why do the Mariners enjoy handing the game over to the bullpen and giving us fans a heart attack? :'(

    I do like Kelley though and hopefully Lowe/Morrow/Aardsma can have a good game tonight, although that might be asking for to much :-\

    Because they suck and they'd prefer to give you a glimpse of truth in April, rather than win a bunch of games and fall into complete ruin in June.
