I wonder what the highest SB/times reached rate is

When I had the thought I looked up Rangers legend Scarborough Green who stole 10 bases in 1999 on 29 hits and 10 walks, which is not as many SB as I thought. I guess I watched all of his stolen bases. He def stole home once.

Even for Nolan Ryan records I would think 7 no-hitters is pretty untouchable.

E: the man threw an 85 mph ceremonial first pitch at age 63

The only rule change I would consider regarding extra innings right now is that after nine innings the Rangers should be awarded one run each inning so that there’s a nonzero chance of their bullpen hanging on.

Martin Perez was a starter at one point this season right? He appeared in relief yesterday.

He was. He got moved to the bullpen after some struggles and the Scherzer/Montgomery trades

E: it sucks for him. He was excellent last year and I wish he’d been able to get close to that level now that the team has an actual shot.

I am concerned the Texas Rangers may in fact not be very good at baseball.

I don’t recall ever seeing a team go from legit WS contender to dogshit this fast. The vibes are very bad right now.

I see the Rangers have officially dropped out of the last wild card spot. I fully expect them to get swept by the A’s at home this weekend for the final mail in the coffin.

16 losses in 20 lmao this team will never win poo poo as long as I live.

The Rangers’ history of big name/money pitching acquisitions is… spotty, at best.

I would like for the Rangers to beat the Mariners several times over the next couple of weeks. And the Angels three times.

I just want to say that the weekend’s results were pleasing to me and that I hope the Rangers win all their remaining games and the Astros lose all of theirs and also cease to exist.

Curt Schilling can gently caress off. RIP to Tim Wakefield.

On a less horrible note, people in here hating the Rangers is p funny. Having any strong opinion on the Rangers is funny, like they might be the least relevant franchise in MLB.
