Rangers play Kyle Seager for the millionth time this season: TEX v SEA Aug 17-19

[scotsman1948]

For determining long-term success, sure. But both Yonny and Pozo have already put up better numbers in smaller sample sizes than Terry did in his.

I understand that. Not saying that any of them are even close to Willie Mays but I think he went something like 0 for 12, got a hit and then 0 for 12 when he was called up. Imagine if they given up on him

Man if we somehow get 5 or 6 overall I would be so disappointed. I remember Tim Bogars winning ways supposedly cost us Alex Bergman.

Don’t see anyone catching us. We will finish third or fourth. But I’ve never seen any team play as bad as Baltimore.

 

[Duane1952]

Almost a great play by Peters.

 

[darrylgann]

That was just tough!

 

[Nightcrawler]

I get your point but young players have a built-in spirit to win as they should. Same applies to any professional and I don't want any player that tries not to win.

I won't care if we end up in the cellar as long as we give it our best. The way we are going we have a good shot at 3. Tough schedule coming up.

I know it’s hard to pull off, but it would be really cool to walk that fine line between some of the new guys showing something, the team fighting hard and giving it a good effort, but still losing.

 

[saddles]

At least the Diamondbacks won.

Not only do the Orioles keep losing, but they get absolutely murdered almost every game.

In September we have two games with Arizona and four with Baltimore. They are all on the road. That will be our opportunity.

Can we bring back Matt Moore, Tyson Ross, A J Griffin, Drew Smyly, Shelby Miller and Martin Perez for those games. Or at least activate Brock Burke.

Yeah I hate playing the "oh man we won" game, but that's our life for at least one more season.

also, Hi JS you stalking freak.

i’m sure you know this, but once we get past the trade deadline and the deals are done, the season is stale, and fans of rebuilding teams just want it to be over and get the best draft position possible.

Hey, it is good to see you back on the board.

No disrespect but our farm must be getting better if teams are picking up our discards

Speak for yourself, I like seeing young guys trying to get better and battle for a roster spot next season, and force tough decisions

Same. I love Rangers baseball; just because they're not going to the postseason doesn't mean I'm ready for the season to be over as soon as possible.
