The WC race gets more muddled as the Rangers welcome Seattle for 4 games - 9/11 - 9/14

Would love to see Calhoun park one right here.

EDIT: wait, Beltre?!?

 

[Justinkm83]

OBP maybe, probably not OPS. But he might. And for discussion's sake, let's say he's a postseason-level player.

That gives us... 3? Not confidence inspiring at all.

I agree there.

 

[DT LUNA]

OK AB. Do it
Well that did not work out but always a good bet.

 

[Duane1952]

Should have saved Beltre for when Odor bats.

 

[Justinkm83]

I think I would've let Calhoun hit there. I know it was lefty lefty but he saw him last night.

Not to knock Choo or Chirinos, but nothing about their play says "postseason" to me.

Maybe I'm setting the bar too high or looking at the past through rose-colored glasses. I just remember looking at the 2011 squad and fully expected them to steamroll everyone. Top to bottom. 2017? Yeesh. I actually FEAR throwing out this lineup in October. We're starting Drew Fucking Robinson.

well.......we sure aren't the Cleveland Indians now are we?..........Which IMO is THE most underrated team in the game today.......Exactly how many "teams" are inspiring "overall?" We aren't; got it/hate it/agree with it, that we are no longer a Juggernaut.......See some positives for 2018 though....Really do.

I would not object to that either

I need to see some pitching resolution before making a call.

Exactly how many "teams" are inspiring "overall?"

For their fans? Quite a few, if you ask me. ARI, COL, MIN, CLE, and NYY stand out among the crowd for me. LAD and WAS, I'd be a nervous wreck if I'm their fans.

Stop lurking Duckfan22. Jump in.

There is a large part of me that wants to say that hit by Seager was the final nail in the coffin of the 2017 season.

I just told my wife, "that about does it for the season "

 

[Duane1952]

Odor can't walk without limping, and Banny still will not sit him.

 

[DT LUNA]

Well gents I will look forward to the off season discussions with you all. Should be something in it for everyone and there will be surprises as always. JD has lots of work to do and and we can only hope the budget will be extended with a new stadium on the horizon. To illustrate my enthusiasm, I vote to name the new park " Nightcrawler Field". LOL

Strange situation.

 

[Nightcrawler]

Starting to get a

" this team is done" feeling. The Beltre injury probably did them in.

 

[Nightcrawler]

Strange situation.

Reminds me of that year we kept trotting Murphy out there when it was clear he didn't have it.

And he has Darvish, Lucroy and Jeffress salaries to play with.

 

[Justinkm83]

And he has Darvish, Lucroy and Jeffress salaries to play with.

So.... Stanton & Otani

Don't think we will see Stanton here with that contract and what we would have to give up.
