Series Thread: Rangers Invade the Bay of Pigs and Hope To Rebound - April 17-19

Might be a good year to press reset on this program.

By pushing reset, do you mean trading Darvish and lucroy for prospects and firing Brocail / Banister?

Lucroy, yes.

Good news guys! Pitchers and catchers report in 305 days.

Lucroy, yes. Try to work a deal with Darvish, if no deal then trade him. No on the staff at this point. We could get something decent back for some one or two of our relievers potentially like Jefress if they perform well between now and the deadline.

The shame is we have to have guys improve a lot just to be tradeable.

The Gomez experiment doesn't seem to be going well either, but nap and lucroy are the most worrisome.

It could be worse with Lucroy. He could be hitting like this after having just signed a 3 year deal for north of $50 million.

Lucroy will come around. I'm not so convinced on Napoli and Gomez.

LOL at Evan for always defending management even when they do something dumb like throw your Ace under the bus.

Evan is a clown. It's sad this is the best DFW can do for sports media.

I agree with this. Gomez and Napoli just aren't everyday MLB players anymore. Lucroy is great, and his hitting will improve, but his biggest asset is his defense and how he calls a game.

I like his work when he is simply providing information about the club. It is when he voices his opinions that I usually disagree with him. The worst is his inability to see management as being able to make a significant mistake though. On the other hand I really enjoy the work Jeff Wilson does.

 

[BULLPEN FAILURE]

Banny taking one for the team, I guess.

If this guy rebounds I am going to puke.

Lol @ Evan Grant. "CB Bucknor was umpiring the game so all results are under review."

Yeah, that was funny. I will have to give Evan credit for that remark.

 

[jaar01]

Well...this offense is dreadful.

They are still highly ranked. I think the offense will pick up when we get back home. The pitching is what I'm worried about.

Evan Grant is a joke. That guy is a journalist, but for some reason most of his posts and tweets are littered with typos and misspellings. I thought Richard Durrett gave pretty good coverage, even tho he was a bit nerdy like Eric sogard. It's unfortunate what happened to durrett.
