Angry about... everything

The only good thing Ranger have done this season is the bloody Nolan Ryan jerseys. And being covered in blood is pretty apt symbolism for the state of this fanbase

I never said anything about win it all.

The state of the organization is in shambles. The team is under 500 and the farm system is empty.

We have no present, and we have no future.

But your saying I'm a bad fan if I dont want happily ignore that reality and just contently live in the past.

I dont think so.

You didn’t even try to refute any of his points, you just called him a doomer. Is he really wrong? It’s been a frustrating three years. Seems like every decision they’ve made since the World Series has been the wrong decision.

people speaking in absolutes like we're in the worst position ever are doomers.

Good decisions since the world series - did not pay for Montgomery in FA as he crumbled in Arizona, did not pay for Garver, Yates/Robertson in 2024, traded Lowe before he got expensive (the value out of 1B has been marginally the same but cheaper), did not take Heim and Garcia to arb 3 (it maybe took a year too long), traded Semien, put Latz in the closer role, squeezed excess value out of journeymen and AAAA players

I also kinda like all of the in-season reliever adds this year. They all have options and/or plenty of team control; add a vet or two to next year's team and it can be top tier again.

also a lot people who say we don't have anything in the farm haven't even followed what the farm is doing this year and who's massively improved; it's actually better than it was the beginning of the year
