Series Thread: Rangers Play Three Games in San Diego July 28-30

[armadillooutlaw]

Rangers pitching
ERA: 15th of 30
QS: 9/30
HR: 16/30
BB: 7/30
K: 27/30
OBA: 10/30
WHIP: 6/30

Takeaways: We SUCK at finishing off hitters, our K/rate is terrible, and that's probably a starter and reliever thing, hence the low WHIP but high ERA, and we give up a lot of HRs

As for starters, blame Perez and Heaney.
As for the pen, everybody besides Smith, Chapman, Burke and (surprisingly) LeClerc.

Their pitching is in pretty rough shape due to injuries, they rank 20th in ERA, not a spot they're used to, and they are just flat out running out of bodies...

4.71 starter ERA, 4.16 reliever ERA

 

[armadillooutlaw]

LOL did their GM hand off decision-making powers to the intern?

You’re not disappointed that we didn’t get Lynn or Kelly

correct. I am not disappointed that we didn't get them.

Just joshing

Lynn will pitch well for the Dodgers.

 

[Senator_fan]

Meh. They are both pitching terribly this year.

But when they put that Dodger uniform on it will take 2 to 3 runs off your ERA.

That's happened a lot, but I doubt it this time.

I'm down for getting Jordan Hicks.

The White Sox did not get the memo about the third WC screwing up the deadline for sellers

 

[Kelleyman]

Memos are overrated

I like that he's only 26 and has an ERA of 2.45 over his last 30 appearances. About 12.75 Ks per 9 innings this year.
Has a walk problem but has been somewhat better lately.

In his last 5 appearances he's given up 1 run twice and 3 runs once and blown 2 saves.

and the Astros gave up their #5 prospect for him.

The White Sox are 2-for-2 today on fleecing contenders.

LOL. I think someone messed up what the memo said.

The memo said the third wildcard messed up the deadline for buyers. It is great for sellers.

Yeah, since the last week of June he has struggled.

I actually thought the Rangers might go after him
