Series Thread: Rangers Face The Orioles at Camden Yards Sept. 5-8

[Kelleyman]

Why steal with 2 outs and 2 on? Wash is in the house.

Yup

 

[Kelleyman]

Dillon Tate strikes out Trevino and Choo but Elvis salvages some Karma with a cheap single. On comes the Clerk

 

[Kelleyman]

The shift failed us

 

[DT LUNA]

Small ball alive and well

Good game tonight 7-6

 

[Kelleyman]

The Clerk found his FB and that is his difference-maker

 

[WastinSomeTime]

Yup

My thoughts exactly. Not sure if Woody called that or what but while we are trying to figure out a team he needs also to learn to lead. As much as I am pulling for Guzman I actually would have PH for him when they brought in a LH.

In a developmental year I am fine with Guzman hitting vs PH with Forsythe but ...
to me a double steal with one two outs and a one run lead is bad baseball

With 2019 winding down who looks to be the core position players on the team?

Gallo, Andrus, Calhoun, and perhaps, Solak?

If Santana rebounds soon and finishes strong then maybe him too.

I agree with the above but think Santana and IKF are utility guys. Been impressed with Trevino too. Bet we pick up a 3B to bridge for Jung unless he changes positions at some point. Solak batting cleanup makes me think he is surely in the 2020 plans. We may have to move some excess players

Utility guys come in a variety of sizes and shapes though. A utility guy who gets 400 AB can be a core guy like a Cattalanato or even a David Murphy.

That would be good and not unexpected

 

[Kelleyman]

And a nice AB producing 2RBIS by Santana

6-0 Odor clobbers it
