Well, I'd say its a pretty safe bet that Martinez will be in the rotation next year, so if you're looking for a ray of sunshine in all this he looks good and the experience he gets this year should really benefit him next year.

This guys rise through the ranks is phenomenal.

When you come outta college as a 2nd baseman/part time pitcher, get picked in the 18th round in 2011, that's not normally the fast lane to the majors.

He seems to have a good approach, and I think we've got something to cheer for here.

Extra base hits win ballgames. It's been so long since I can remember 3 in a game.

Been thinking about what next year's rotation might look like coming out of spring training. Thinking something like this.

Darvish
Holland
Martinez
Tepesch
Lewis/Ross/???

Now I wish we didn't have the off day tomorrow.

Luke Jackson? Maybe Scherzer.

They'd probably break your heart tomorrow anyways.

 

[romeo212000]

Luke Jackson?

Probably not. Too early IMO. He'll get some looks in big league camp though.

 

[romeo212000]

He never had the fucking ball.

Would Luke Jackson not be ready?? What about that Chi Chi Gonzales ( get the name right???). Not confident in Lewis/Ross in 5th spot...

I don't think so either. In the last 2 days we've challenged 1 that we shouldn't have and didn't challenge 2 that we should have.

Don't think either will be ready, but either or both my surprise me.

Missed the last two runs. How did it happen?

 

[DT LUNA]

MM wants his job back

 

[WastinSomeTime]

Moreland stinks. Get the ball up.

I need to start saying they all stink.

 

[donaldson79]

That's 3 times today MM has hit the ball on the nose. And it's great to see him going into left center.

Choo is a bad ass and drove a double to the alley in right center, then Beltre drove him in with a single.

 

[donaldson79]

I don't think so either. In the last 2 days we've challenged 1 that we shouldn't have and didn't challenge 2 that we should have.

I agree completely.

 

[BLeslie59Rangers]

Can we hope and pray that this is a sign of some sustainable life from our offense that could last for several games???

Would be awesome if he could keep this up in the four hole. We need it badly.

Agree and more experience for Tepesch will be good as well.
