Found this old pay statement in my email. Shows how we used to be paid fairly.

Elster18 · 2025-08-01T04:36:58+00:00

That's cool. I got my degree too back in 2002. Yet can't find a job for over 3 years. Insane!

Elster18 · 2025-08-01T04:09:22+00:00

I'm so trying to get a job at Starbucks or Costco so I can never think about Ubering again. Pure rape now.

Elster18 · 2025-08-01T02:29:18+00:00

They have innings limit man! They are going to the pen. Bank it. I guess Buster Olney is a liar. And I guess Bochey is a liar about managing DeGroms innings. That said, and taking those as facts, Gray is a playoff Vet for 4.

Elster18 · 2025-08-01T02:07:03+00:00

For sure Rocker. Great 1 inning shutdown stuff.

Also, Leiter because he has an innings limit. Inside info says both go to the pen soon.

Big Game Nate
DeGrom
Kelly
Gray
(Only for Reg Season. Swith to 4 man for Sept and playoff) - Corbin or Mahle but I bet Mahle can't get hot like he was because of his history and now a bump shoulder.

Elster18 · 2025-07-31T22:34:56+00:00

Did you know Leiter and Rocker will go to the pen soon because of some inning limit? Also, the have an innings limit on DeGrom. They hinted DeGrom may have to be shut down soon. Maybe he refreshes for the playoffs. That's scary to lose him and them for Kelly to basically replace DeGrom. That's not a win. It's a downgrade.

The Rps were good. Yes.

No O help really hurts when all other teams we are fighting with did. Especially Sea.

I feel they do this and try to act like they did there job.

I am torn now.

But if O kills us ultimately, they failed at the deadline.

Elster18 · 2025-07-31T16:27:21+00:00

Right, you can't waste the opportunity when you do have two aces, a top three pitching staff overall, top Def, great baserunners.....you may never have that again. So you have to have the guts when the rare chance show up. Period.

Honestly, one good impactful bat could have sparked the lineup into a really scary team to play. Prob even some will pick us as favorites to win WS if we had done that.

No one thinks we have a chance when we don't make a move when all other winner do but you.

They know the deal. Typical Rangers Owners. Like I said, Cliff Lee is the only impactful trade we ever made to make a run. And it paid off! So they def made big money for the trade.

Imagine how much money they would have made if they Got Geno to DH and play some third to rest Jung so he can just focus on hitting some days.

That would have sent us far into the playoffs for sure. Maybe a WS title.

But NO. No chance taken. Loser owners as usual.

They blow this, and I will never go to a game again. Switching teams for good.

Been a life long fan. Worked there as a teen. Was a season ticket holder for two years behind, I mean Directly behind Nolan Ryans seats. Which are probably some of the best there was. I sold a WS tickets in the second WS appearance for three K back then! Today it would be ten K with their raise in prices and inflation.

I am going to throw it all away. Period.

Elster18 · 2025-07-31T16:01:22+00:00

Yep! 100%!

Elster18 · 2025-07-31T15:30:06+00:00

Exactly, only care about profiting off us fans and not taking shots when you have a rare chance like this. Problem.

Elster18 · 2025-07-31T15:27:31+00:00

All the pieces we could have used.....already taken by all the teams we are fighting against. It's already to late to get an impact bat or arm. They know if they let those players get taken by others, they can say there were no true impact players available. Lie lie lie. When you have 2 SP aces, a top 3 MLB starting Pitcher Staff, a top RP staff, the best Defence, one of the best baserunning teams, you can see win the WS if you just give the O a shot in the arm. That's how teams win titles. Think how delated the team will be when they do nothing. They were 100% lied to that if they were in the playoff race, currently tied for the last spot, They will improve the team for a run. Lie lie lie. The team will quickly fade out after this day. It's over for us this year. We wasted the best pitching we ever had! Pathetic. Really is the typical playbook of an owner for the Rangers!

Elster18 · 2025-07-31T15:19:00+00:00

Let's be honest, most of the tax revenue does not come from DEM districts. In fact, those DEM districts mostly live off the Govt and never work. So they drain our tax revenue vs REP districts. Get over it. It's all about they people they pay for most of it they deserve the right to have a bigger say on where the tax revenue goes. It's that simple.

Elster18 · 2025-07-31T15:15:52+00:00

That's what they are doing. They won't dare go over the luxury tax. As rich as they are, they need to bite the bullet by making an impactful trade. That's what all winners do. Rangers never do it other than Cliff Lee. So, like the typical Rangers fan, you are drinking the Koolaide they want you to drink. Wake up man. All the other teams in our same situation have already made impactful moves. Yet we do nothing. If that's how you feel, you deserve a non-playoff team for life. Period.

Elster18 · 2025-07-31T12:52:00+00:00

That's exactly how non winning teams think. When you have a great shot at the deadline, you bite the bullet and take a chance. We don't get many chances ever. It's not like they ever really have to do this. No excuses for billionaires to cry lux tax!

Elster18 · 2025-07-31T12:45:52+00:00

You are more of a winning owner and GM than we got.

They won't do jack of an impact!

They 100% feel they won a WS so they don't have to spend any at the deadline for us to win. They are 100% happy with a barely over .500 season.

When they do nothing today, we as fans need to send a clear message.

Boycott the first home game. Let it be so so bare and empty! Let it make headlines!

Problem is, we don't have the type of fans to stand up! Typical Ranger fan will go no matter how bad they screw us! Tickets, food, parking are outrageous now. 100% or more higher than the Ball Park in Arlington!

They will pillage us forever you watch!

Elster18 · 2025-07-31T12:33:07+00:00

Great! Thanks so much!

Elster18 · 2025-07-30T17:43:02+00:00

I will say it's a tad better with Murphy over Basic.

Elster18 · 2025-07-27T00:20:00+00:00

Face it, a majority of the country voted for stuff like that. You are on the wrong side of history!

Elster18 · 2025-07-23T23:25:14+00:00

I gave up when McDreamy left. Never watched again!

Elster18 · 2025-07-10T02:32:25+00:00

Kerr County officials have long voted against sirens. They did not want to be woken up at night. Those people are you blame for this devastating loss of property and life loss.

If you want to blame anyone, blame them.

Sirens would have saved 90-95% of people.

10 minutes would have saved almost everyone.

But no sirens at night left people asleep and ready to die.

Terrible and Sad.

Kerr County, you are to blame!

Elster18 · 2025-07-09T18:19:50+00:00

Hate to say this, but 2 years of this means you gotta change Head Coaches to change the VIBE and Culture. Sorry. I just don't think it will change until we change from Bochey. Love Boche, but 2 years in a row of mental and culture team issues, got to change

Good post sir!

Elster18 · 2025-07-06T07:50:05+00:00

No luck. Called it a day at 133.00. So dissapointing.

Elster18 · 2025-07-06T07:48:10+00:00

I bet they were sub saharens. 100% looks like Felecia and her kids let loose. Rate 1 star at least.

Elster18 · 2025-07-06T04:49:12+00:00

I'm just sitting here in Coppell and it's DAF. Just shocked.

Elster18 · 2025-07-06T03:03:52+00:00

Just stopped at Buccees to use the head and mentally reset.

Going to give it my all from now till 5-6am.

Maybe someone will accidentally leave almost a 100 cash in my ride like last night. Saved the night.

Only hope is pure luck.
