1st place considering I am a Rangers fan

Your Rangers are looking like they're going to be tough to beat this season.

Tyler Chatwood is 7-4 with a 2.79 ERA.

Of course, why not???????

And to think, pitching was Jerry's strength as a GM.

In Colorado of all places.

I'm not a fan of bench clearing brawls, but I'm a fan of Yordano Ventura getting his ass kicked for throwing at hitters.

Another Trumbomb for Trumbo today, 20th homer of the season.

Thanks Jerry for Santiago!

Yep. Just wish Machado's hit landed as well as Odor's did

I wish the other players would stop breaking it up.  They should let the 2 players go at it like in hockey.

[bloodbrother]

At the very least, can we stop the silly shots of watching the guys from the bullpen jog in from the outfield with their warmup jackets on to get involved by just standing around with the other players

[WeatherWonk]

Yeah

Yeah, baby. Did Machado get any good blows in?

He man-handled Ventura like a rag-doll. Once they were separated and 20 ft apart Ventura tried to act like he wanted to be allowed free to fight Machado

It still amazes me that Chatwood is somehow effective with a k rate of 5.4.  I just don't see him keeping an era below 4.5 for the season.  Perhaps I'll be proved wrong, but I personally don't think we're missing much here.

There is this, especially in a K's filled era.

Looks like the Texas Rangers are the class of the AL West yet again

[fan_since79]

Yu Darvish left the game with tightness in the shoulder, but a more significant loss might be Adrian Beltre. He will be evaluated today for a possible hamstring injury and may go on the DL.

 

[Homebrewer]

James Shields booed off field following disastrous White Sox debut.

OUCH..79 pitches to get through the 2nd.

ChiSox have tumbled since their hot start, fast approaching .500 and below.

[Homebrewer]

Ventura getting a lot of heat for letting him get pummeled like that.

[fan_since79]

Carlos Correa was removed from the game after suffering an apparent ankle injury stepping on first base awkwardly.

edit: day-to-day, left ankle sprain.

The Marlins had 18 hits today, and none of them were by Giancarlo Stanton, who went 0-5 with four strikeouts.

Baseball is weird sometimes.

Dude is hitting .197 and on pace for around 220 strikeouts.

Stanton, Votto...couple of great hitters who have fallen off the cliff.
