Series Thread: Rangers go to the Big Apple to play Yankees 9/2-9/4

[DT LUNA]

Surly 10-1 did not come as a surprise.

I don’t know, Murph. It’s comin in kinda strong over here. Old Spice, huh?

Hai Karate!

 

[DT LUNA]

Hai Karate!

ARM & HAMMER back on the farm.

 

[WastinSomeTime]

Rendon is tearing it up. He is going to make his money next year. The guy has it all. 112 RBIs, .338 avg, .637 slg, 1.054 OPS and a 6.00 WAR. Unless our owners decide to have deep pockets forget about it.

Zero chance this ownership group spends on big name, big $ free agents. JD and the current owners operate on the cheap, let’s take a bunch of fliers and see if we can catch lightning in a bottle mentality

exactly they'll sign 3 to 5 TJ pitchers like Volquez, Smyly etc and 2 or 3 level 4 or 5 FA positional players and hold a press conference where they will talk about how good they feel about the team they will put on the field in 2020. they don't want to compete just go thru the motions

I am thinking we will go after him.

I am thinking we will go after him.

It would be an Addrian Beltre type move except it will cost more. But since it is not my money other than for tickets it would be a smart move. We need some solid veterans who are getting it done to mix in with the young guns we have.

Excuse the typo on Adrian.

Which prospects put themselves on their teams' big league radars for 2020?

Texas Rangers: 2B Nick Solak

Solak was one of my favorite pickups this season by any team, with the Rangers quietly acquiring him from the Rays for righty Peter Fairbanks back in July. Solak has followed an .834 OPS in 2018 with an .894 OPS in 2019, and he has continued to hit since his call-up. The Rangers ought to give Solak every opportunity to make his case for starting in 2020.

He and Cole are going to be so expensive to get. I wish we seriously try to get but I won’t be holding my breathe. Such a war brewing on those two this winter.

I think he would really move the needle on the entire offense... a la Beltre

[DT LUNA]

Santana is now 6 for last 47 ab. Now that is a slump.

 

[WastinSomeTime]

I think he would really move the needle on the entire offense... a la Beltre

My thoughts exactly.

 

[DT LUNA]

Solak 2-2.

 

[DT LUNA]

another K for Santana

 

[Bmurph]

Should be 2 strikes now and that should have been strike 3

If these umpires are gonna be this bad, I guess bring on the Robo umps

Gets him out on strike 4

 

[Bmurph]

He will probably start the game by giving up 3-4 runs in the first 3-4 innings and then he will go 7 innings but it will be too much for this anemic offense

He won't make it to 7 but I got most of the rest right

 

[DT LUNA]

Quite tonight. Crawler hasn't said "Odor" once.
