  2. That seals the deal. I am no longer a Rangers fan. Ive been a fan since 2003 and a season ticket holder since 2002. I officially will not be renewing my plan next season nor will i watch on tv ever again. The Rangers are officially the worst sports team in history

  3. Ump cost us the game. What was a called 3rd strike on Grossman was a ball for Rooker…

  7. Don’t let this extremely disappointing loss to an all-time trash team, in an extremely long game, distract you from the fact that at least we won’t have any more late starts until the end of July. Doesn’t take the disappointment away, but it’s still something I guess.

  8. Absolutely fucking screwed by a dog shit ump. Rooker should’ve been out there. God that’s fucking terrible

  9. Can’t win them all but when you lose like that to the A’s…. Time to get your ass sent down to the minors.

  13. Bochey has to know that these guys aren’t built for multiple innings. It’s a gamble every time.

  14. The bullpen is just beyond fucking embarrassing at this point. 7 of the last 9 losses are on the bullpen. In 4 of those 7 losses the bullpen blew a multiple run lead. If they were even average, this team has the 2nd best record in the league. Help is desperately needed, as are more DFAs.

  16. Tbh we had so many missed opportunities early in this game, it never seemed like it would end well for us.

  19. I want to see that umpire score card. Absolutely no strike zone through the entire game and it screwed us in the end.

  27. Too many blown games. They happen but we’ve already had too many. Also fuck umps. And again some one break something

  29. Can we please trade for two bullpen arms tomorrow/today

    Or call some guys up, can’t get any worse right?

  31. I don’t get how we don’t have a guy at least throwing in the top of the 10th. Waiting for Burke to start getting into trouble before getting a guy lose makes absolutely no sense.

    Offense let way too many opportunities pass.

    That’s how baseball goes. Win the next 2

  32. I’m never watching another game where Grossman is in the two spot. Yes I know those will be rare in a few days.

    Still. Fuck Robbie Grossman.

  34. Y’all think the dudes in the bullpen show up every day and know they fucking suck?
