Rangers trek to Minnesota for a 4 game set - 8/3 thru 8/6

[BULLPEN FAILURE]

AWFUL

5 run lead and can't hold it.

 

[Justinkm83]

Just doesn't have major league stuff.

So how do we see that but the Rangers staff throws him out there every year. I would rather let the next guy in line get his opportunity

It would probably be Chi Chi but he's out with TJ

And here's Nick Martinez.

I use to frequent the dog track in W Memphis Ark and I could hear the "here comes the rabbit" with this one. ha ha

On que

In fairness to us/Nick. You're right. However, he's at best a #5 starter b/c the normal #5 starter got killed in a hunting accident over the weekend.....If we score 5 in the 1st inning, SURELY we can get 2/3 more over the next 8 right?

Nick may be a quality long man or spot starter for a good team; which I'm pretty sure we aren't today. But until he learns a true out pitch, that's his best cast scenario IMO.

Nick Martinez and Martin Perez suck farts out of men's asses

Nick Martinez was the Flight 93 hijacker

Right now Mendez is probably next in line. But he is still not ready for the majors.

I like TAG's explanation. He said Nick has to put it all behind him and go out and pitch well enough to give the team a chance to win. If we score 5, technically that should be enough. Now, Banny could have pulled him sooner.

be fair they will probably be our #2 and #3 next season

I don't think there exists a rotation Nick Martinez would be a #2 in. I don't even know if he would be on the White Sox, and they probably have the worst rotation I've seen in quite some time. I'd probably go with Derrek Holland over him.

I was wondering to myself who "really and truly would be next up" in this case.

Unfortunately, it would be Anthony Bass I bet. Possibly Sadzeck because I think he's on the 40

There's no doubt in my mind who I would rather be on the hill between Derek and Nick. I've seen them both at he top of their game and it's Holland, without question.

I would too, but unfortunately... I'm kind of starting to think this may be Holland's final stop. He's been getting throttled since having a nice April. Especially by right handed hitting. He really struggles with that...

unless the Rangers are extremely active in free agency both of these rejects will be intregal parts of our rotation next season just behind Hamels with probably Griffin and whatever medical reject the Rangers chose to sign filling 4 and 5

Bibens-Dirx and a cast-off free agent to fill those other two spots? That's certainly not good, but seems most likely right now. Unless I'm missing something. Holland's actually a free agent this off-season. Would not shock me to see him head back there. He'll be quite cheap...

 

[DT LUNA]

Ross and Cashner are still possibilities. Cashner may be expensive.

Our "line" has been decimated by trades, bad drafting, and an inability to develop pitchers properly.

 

[Justinkm83]

Calhoun with 2 more HR's. I believe that's 4 already for him since the trade. Five games I think
