Series Thread: Rangers Go To Oakland For 4 July 25-28

[Kelleyman]

Don't understand why they don't have someone warning up.

Yes do not want to burn his arm out

 

[PhantomWarrior]

Another blown save.

 

[Kelleyman]

Secret trade for Martin not yet announced perhaps

 

[DT LUNA]

Horse patootie

I don't understand why up in count 0-2 you throw a bunch of slurves ...... No aggressive pitching

 

[PhantomWarrior]

Hello .500 again.

 

[Duane1952]

Unbelievable. Leclerc just can't handle the pressure of closing.

 

[DT LUNA]

Hate to walk in the winning run.

Me either, his fastball was hitting 97-98.

 

[Nightcrawler]

I NEVER WANT TO SEE LECLERC CLOSE A GAME FOR US AGAIN!

WHAT A MASSIVE CHOKER!

 

[PhantomWarrior]

Hate to walk in the winning run.

You grab your manliness and try to blow the ball by him in that situation.

 

[Kelleyman]

I hate our pitching approach. No guts to challenge guys with best stuff

 

[Duane1952]

Hate to walk in the winning run.

Soon as he walked Semien, I new he was in trouble.

 

[DT LUNA]

Well they won't quit and that is a huge plus that can

Soon as he walked Semien, I new he was in trouble.

He never seems to be confident and if you don't have confidence you don't have much.

The return on Stroman seemed to be pretty weak.

I’m thinking it was what I was saying in June. Buyers market.

There are just way too many teams trying to tank Astros style. The rangers had better not accept a low ball offer for minor or anyone else on this team who is good.

My nephew writes for NY sports. Apparently the Mets gave up their # 4 and #6 in their system. But Simeon Woods Richardson was drafted last year. Mets fans believe they gave up too much for Stroman.

I guess the question is if the Mets FO really believes there’s a chance at that 2nd WC or they hedged their bets on dealing Thor and still having a rotation for this year and the next.

The reaction on mlb trade rumors and elsewhere is that the Mets deal for Stroman was a steal..... a steal for the Mets.

So Martin has back issue. Then why do you ask Le Clerc to nibble up 0-2 in the count. Mind blower...

LeClerc regression is a disappointment this season putting it mildly
