He was the last-remaining member of the 2011 World Series team, if I remember correctly.

I don't follow baseball as much anymore, but I do know Khris Davis hits a lot of home runs against the Rangers. I believe the number I saw was 32 for his career.

Man, I do miss that 2011 team though...

Hard to determine what this front office is doing other than dismantling the team, wasting money building an unneeded new stadium and going cheap.  I have been a Rangers' fan all my life, but they are quickly making me lose interest.

Didn't Houston do the same a few years back?

I was reading that one player said there are only a couple of teams that are still trying to win.   The others just field a team and collect the check.   Arlington got sucker punched by the Rangers owners.  If they were serious about winning Daniels would have been gone a long time ago.  I was a long time Ranger fan but when they are eliminated from the playoffs in the first week of the season who cares anymore.  Wish UNT had a baseball team so I could go to some games.

Seems like all 3 major sports teams in the Dallas area count on fans shelling out their money regardless of the crap show on the field. JJ and the Cowboys have grown to one of the most valuable sports franchises in the world and have been a joke. But hey, if people keep buying you items you can sit back and take it to the bank and laugh. Cuban has ruined the Mavs and now the Rangers are one of the worst in baseball.

Sad.  Those playoff years are some of my best sports memories.  I haven’t watched them now for at least three years.  I’d like to, but I just can’t make a connection.

The difference is they loaded up on good prospects that ended up being the anchor for their recent success....not sure what the Rangers are doing here. We traded a bad contract for another bad contract. Maybe the prospects we got will pan out. Who knows. And not only is Elvis the last player from our WS run....he's the last from the trade that made John Daniels the supposed "brilliant" GM. He never was able to recreate that Texeira trade....

Can we say that?

The Mavs have 2 superstars 25 years old and under...one being a 21 year old MVP candidate. And one of the best coaches in the league. Seems the Mavs are for sure going to be a serious contender the next several years no?

I hope so. Luka is great and I appreciate Atlanta 😈. Porzingis can hopefully stay healthy.

It seems in today's NBA you have to be able to get big name stars to want to join your team. Lately, when they talk about available players your almost never hear the Mav interested.

I'll agree with you there.

Look, I am not a Cuban fan but he does seem to go out of his way to try and do things for his players. Hard to understand why more players don't want to come to Dallas.

Agreed. We don't even trade players for prospects or make big splashes anymore. It's trade one player to rent another Tommy John player hoping to get some production for cheap out of them. We used to have the best farm system in the league. Now, we have barely 1 prospect in the top 100 rated by the league. Every other news story we get is how the Rangers are constantly shopping their best players like Gallo for money. They have become unwatchable and arguably the worst team in the league. It's embarrassing. Jon Daniels is like Rick Carlisle for the Mavs. Getting credit and running on something he did 10+ years ago, but literally doing nothing since then.

The difference is the Astros lost 85+ games for 6 straight years, including 3 100-loss years in a row (w a 90+). THAT’S how you tank. Got a talent infusion and some cheating along the way.... WS. Only half of that is repeatable, but you’ve got to be REAL bad for a long while. And it’s harder to do now that most teams are just fine being bad.

The Rangers are just always on the wrong side of how to do things.

      What is this program missing?

      I hate to help you out in any way, but Houston had some pretty signature wins back in the 60's that got them noticed. They beat #3 Michigan State 37-7 in 1967, in 68 they tied #4 Texas and #7 Georgia, and beat Tulsa a NCAA record 100-6. Those were the days of Warren McVea and the veer.

      We can hate on him but I do think he makes solid points. It is somewhat helpful to have an outside perspective that isn’t drinking the green kool-aid. (Although it crosses a line if that person starts kicking us while we’re down-which I don’t think he’s done in this post). So this offseason/next year looks like the following: -give morris another year to see what he can build -hire a new defensive coordinator -hopefully hang on to Chandler Morris and Sheffield -pray for a healthy RB room Anything I’m missing? This year: Still think a bowl win gives the program some momentum going into next year. Maybe my expectations grew too large after that 5-1 start, but man there was a glaring need defensively that was not addressed. The offense has also just fallen off a cliff.

      My son likes the basketball games more than the football games because they are quicker and not an all day affair like football has become with the television time outs.
