[Kelleyman]

Love to see any video where he is informed of call up

Congratulations, Blaine Crim!!!

You deserve this.

It's about time

 

[Kelleyman]

Now trade or DFA Taveras and call up Osuna.

I bet a Leody trade now is quite possible

From Ken Rosenthal:

Rangers demoting 1B Jake Burger and promoting 1B Blaine Crim from Triple A, sources tell @TheAthletic. Plan is for Burger to “reset” and return soon.

Just him being demoted?

Ranger owners are seeing the same things we on the board see. Common sense tell me they will have to address what is happening starting with GM and MGR.

The invisible hitting coach needs to be fired immediately. I know the players are the problem but the fall guy is always the coach and nothing has changed with the approach of our hitters.

I sure hope Bochy plays Crim right away because I just bought tickets for tomorrow night.

I hope their seeing Bochy putting Burger Peterson and Semian in the 3 4 and 5 spot yesterday. All 3 in a season long slump batting under 200.
What sane Mgr would do this?
This was the first time I really wanted this Mgr gone at seasons end.

 

[saddles]

It would have been very easy for Crim to have let his circumstances depress him and perform badly this year. He seemed more determined than ever, though.

About time they started listening to us.

 

[saddles]

I agree.
I’m glad they picked up Jung and Wendzel this year. Blaine Crim is a guy that isn’t getting talked about a lot but he crushed the ball at Mississippi College and so put pretty good numbers in the NW league after the draft. He was drafted in the 19th round but I bet he goes out and makes a name for himself

Name 2 prospects not in the top 30 you think will make it to the show within the next 3 years.
I’ll go with

Blaine Crim
And
Jake Latz

I like Blaine Crim
I think he will end up being really solid

@DTC Was the first guy on here who promoted Blaine Crim. These quotes are from 2020 and 2021.

 

[DTLUNA]

About time they started listening to us.

If they do not listen this team will continue to suffer.

 

[saddles]

Just him being demoted?

Lol. He is probably the only one with options besides Smith, Langford and Jung.

 

[WastinSomeTime]

Lol. He is probably the only one with options besides Smith, Langford and Jung.

Just had to throw that out there. LOL!

Congratulations, Blaine Crim!!!

You deserve this.

It would have been Crim(inal) not to promote him. He had to watch other less qualified players get promoted, sent down and repromoted for years. It must have been heart breaking for him to witness this given the numbers he put up year after year.

Very happy for him to finally get this opportunity. He must be in shock. I am.

 

[saddles]

Evan Grant says Ahmed will be DFAed and Ornelas will come up for a day until Seager returns.

 

[Duane1952]

Evan Grant says Ahmed will be DFAed and Ornelas will come up for a day until Seager returns.

How many options does Ornelas have left.

 

[Duane1952]

Should have called up Duran. He’s hitting .314. Ornelas .185.

 

[fanman8825]

Should have called up Duran. He’s hitting .314. Ornelas .185.

Another strange move
