Series Thread: Rangers Host the Lowly Orioles June 4-6

[DT LUNA]

For a lowly team, the O's don't go away easily.

We will look a lot more like WC contenders while we play a few weeks worth of the schedule mostly against scrub teams. Once this stretch is over we won't look so much like even WC contenders.

If they fail to trade our most valuable trade chips then they aren't really rebuilding. Once they failed to acquire good players this past offseason they set the course. They need to stay the course or we need someone else to run the ship. If they stand pat then they either made a big error in judgment in the offseason or at this trade deadline. They should be held accountable for the error if it comes to that.

This is true, our schedule has been pretty middle of the road so far, as the only good team I can think of playing is the Astros.... still will have many series versus the Yankees, twins, Indians, rays and red sox left

Odor might have an 0-fer going but he's been robbed at least twice

For the most part I hate having a player swing at a 3-0 pitch especially when they try and pull an outside pitch and roll it over and the other teams bullpen stinks.

Chavez was dealing, I'd bring him back out

 

[jta4437]

Keuchel to the braves, probably a good fit

Agree. I know Leclerc pitched 2 innings last night but it may be time to move him back in that 9th inning roll.

I think any deal of any of our pitchers needs to have a throw in who can eat up innings. Someone has to pitch.

What was IKF swinging at?

What was IKF swinging at?

Was wondering that myself

 

[jta4437]

Ugh I hate limiting a guy to 1 inning when he's pitching well

 

[Nightcrawler]

Jurado still doing better than expected

I would imagine that would be either Hernandez, Palumbo, Hearn, or Burke. Not sure when Mendez is coming back.

The whole idea of getting a bunch of retread arms was to keep the youngsters in AAA and AA to continue to develop. Not call them up to get exposed.

Our pitching staff will best be measured in NY Boston Minn

Was wondering if Hearn was coming back. Is he back in the minors?

 

[DT LUNA]

Love to see Huff called up to get a look see.

 

[darrylgann]

That was one hard fought series.
