Texas Rangers taking a stand against the wave

"There is nothing worse … than being stuck in a section with someone who is relentless in trying to get the wave started, especially if they're sitting in front of you," Holland said. "To me, doing the wave is basically giving the middle finger to the guys on the field. You're telling them you don't care about what's going on and that they are not entertaining you."

Lovely what is next? No heckling? No cheering.

Silly crap next thing you can't stand up and cheer without CSC telling they will remove you if you don't sit down.

I hate the wave. It distracts from the game on the field. I understand people will do it, and if that's how they want to spend precious gametime, ok... but I won't participate.

Holland is exactly right. Nothing tells the players, "Hey, y'all are boring, so we need to create our own entertainment!" better than the wave.

Look folks, the wave is for kids under 10 or adults with short attention spans. If you're so bored at the baseball game, then you need to go to chuck-e-cheese next time. Let the rest of us watch and appreciate the guys who are playing the game.

I believe this is all a joke

I saw an interview yesterday where a person saying the actual ban was a joke but that they have had complaints from spectators.

It doesn't bother me either way and I've been going to Rangers games for the past 26 years, every year, all season long. Some would call the wave a tradition. It even stayed with the team after they switched to the new stadium.

If it's the one I'm thinking of, that was Chuck Morgan, the world's greatest PA man. I'm a partial season ticket holder and it is the most consistent whip -- not because it exists on it's own, but because of the timing. I agree it is fine in a blowout, but I've seen two games this year where it circles endlessly as the other team puts together a 3 or 4 run rally to come back and win the game.

I can't prove these occurrences are related, but I also can't *not* prove it either.

The 10% of all upper 48% that believe it are shouldering 99% of the belief burden and if current wave trends continue then by the year 2025 our children's grandchildren's neighbors will be too impoverished to even stand, much less raise their arms, unless of course they have a jack-booted chinaman sticking a bayonet in their back.

If you know your ecunawmics and your historee, the facts are quite clear.

I have something you need to read I found on the internet from the well known Bee BEE Cee.

Yeah, timing isn't always great. I completely agree. I can think of a few situations it's the same at NT football games (cheerleaders) but I'm so used to it I guess I don't notice it as much. Plus I usually have my kids with me and they love it. I loved it as a kid. I've become a pushover as a parent. LOL

      Is this what an “offensive genius” looks like?

      The defense was disastrous last night but stop with this "offense did enough to win" crap. A 3 and out and interception in the first 2 drives is not doing enough to win. Were it not for a defensive stop after the onside kick and a Porter 79 yard run, we'd have been down 21-0 and counting. Yes, the defense needs to do more but what high powered offense puts up 7 in a half? This team did the same crap last year. No offense in the first half and then when we put up garbage time points people say "look at the offense." The offense is bordering bad. Tulsa put up 46 on UTSA. Texas State put up 49 and even Rice put up 29. Just to show you where our "high powered offense" stands.

      ***OFFICIAL UNT vs. UTSA IN-GAME DISCUSSION***

      Atrocious in "all 3 phases" (that onside kick was a film study discovery by UTSA) but E Morris is just a horrible game manager. Just stupid decisions on multiple levels. I wish we weren't in the bowl hunt so Caponi could be fired if at least as a symbolic action to show the rest of the staff (minus Cobbs) they need to step it up a bunch. To the decision making, it's all been said. The timeout at 2nd and 16 with 49 seconds to go when most offenses would just let the clock run out to close the half, not taking reasonable field goal attempts early on, poor playcalling (honestly surprised a screen didn't get intercepted), these things fall on Eric Morris. Just garbage level game management. It's like he's playing a video game where there's no real consequences. Time of possession was about 39 to 21 in UTSA's favor. I know Porter had huge runs but UTSA also had huge plays. Why is it that others are capable of sustaining drives and eating clock but our "elite" offense can't do so? Defenses aside, you'd think our supposed top notch offense could be more consistent. I know our defense needs to make stops more consistently but anybody please tell me why our offense isn't capable of having some 6 or 7 minute scoring drives? Morris needs to relax on the pace of game. Just idiotic at this point.
