I don’t like him but the generic “when are the Rangers gonna get some pitchin’ in here” guys love him. I guarantee you that a majority of the people who read that column this morning finished the last word and told their blue tick hound how great Randy is.

The guy is an idiot.

it beats taking “speed”...

Nothing like getting back to the basics.

but what weirds me out is that Eddie Guardado sits in the steam room BEFORE every game. I got a really bad idea when I was in college that sitting in a hot tub before a rec basketball game would loosen my back and knees and help me out. it absolutely drained me, even though I drank enough fluids afterwards.

I can’t see how Eddie can do that and perform well. but then again, he’s not running around too much…a steam room completely drains me.

....if Nolan wanted Daniels gone, he’d be gone.

most presidents have that authority, you know the whole “in charge of baseball operations” thing, I dont think anybody with Baseball sense would think JD needs to go (all though he really needs to work on his 40 and 25 man roster management)

Well said.

...You must be as drunk as he is everyday to read his colum.

Is easy, he’s a character, and a local character. Agreeing with some of his outbursts and some of the stances he takes requires a kind of Jonestown mentality. Us against the universe, and only we are right and don’t bother us with facts or figures. I know, that’s a difficult translation to make given the venue is sports. Difference is, his mob mentality driver is the written word, not koolaid.

I am not advocating the firing of JD but those who have eyes can see he has traded away some very talented pitching.

I don’t think anyone disputes this.

Tom Schieffer, though that was a few years back. The Rangers hadn’t had one in a while before Nolan.

could all be gone right now if it weren’t for injuries. I’d miss Bradley the most, and miss the idea of a healthy, productive Hank, but for the most part I’d be very satisfied if we had moved everybody else for a healthy return

please never do this again

Millwood?
BMac?
Hurley?

Damn they guy has been here 6 years, 6 YEARS! There has been talent here what has he done with it?

Yes JD has had his misses on trades but he has also brought us Feliz, Max and many others in very good trades and through the draft.

Grandpa Urine is and has always been stupid. IMO

you missed a point:

health.

this team has had poor health overall, but especially the pitching. if we had 5 guys throwing 180 plus innings each year, I’d be a lot more inclined to look at the level of talent, development and ballpark/environment issues more. but WOW has this staff been bitten by the injury bug the past couple of years. is it our training staff? the forced mechanical changes Connor and Chiti, etc. employed? individual failure on the behalf of each pitcher to come into camp prepared for a full season of success physically and mentally?

the health issue needs to be fixed. fast. I’m afraid we haven’t been dealing with a fluke here.

He was never hurt until he got here and worked with the Goose.
