Rangers at Oakland Series Thread

I do believe I already watched this game last Wednesday.

I think they should move Feldman back to the pen and let Ross start. It would take their lefty out of the pen, but he's much better than Feldman. This is miserable.

Not going to happen. He's only had 38 innings at AA up until this year. If you put Ross into the rotation ... what other move do you make to put another LHP in the bullpen ... and who would that be?

 

[Al Falfa]

I don't believe the 72 Rlangers ever put 7 in a row on base.

 

[Stinky Britches]

Scott FOLDman

 

[Stinky Britches]

Even TAG is over Foldman. Nice to know he's not sugar-coating it.

Sorry Im beating a dead horse, but this is really old. This team deserves better.

I think Koji is pretty solid against lefties, he could fill that role in the mean time.

 

[Stinky Britches]

Might have to call up Gaub from AAA.

Help us.

lol

 

[Stinky Britches]

Ron to Mike Maddux: You want to come out of retirement and give us 5 innings?

 

[Stinky Britches]

BRAVO! What a performance!

 

[guitarmy21b]

Help us.

lol

'Tis dire straights we be in, that's for true

At least SA is hanging in there with OKC

Okay ... so where does Ross get stretched out so he can go 6 innings? Down at AAA alongside Oswalt? Who will be ready to fill Feliz' spot in the rotation sooner? Oswalt or Ross?

Koji is just fine in his current role. TEX is extremely thin in LHP talent below the 25man ... and isn't going to mess up its bullpen to fill a rotation hole that will be filled in a few more weeks anyway.

My all time favorite band.

You mean Greg Maddox?

I think you just throw him in there...like Stinky said, he can't be any worse than Scooter. Let the chips fall where they may. I'm pretty sure Ross could put up at least 5 good innings if he was given a random spot start. One thing that is for sure is Scooter gives us almost zero chance to win.

Anybody want to argue the Oswalt signing now??? We simply won't be able to trade Feldman as a viable starter now. What an awful contract.

Well if he ends up sucking it could easily be argued. For now, it's safe to say that the FO's mind is in the right place.

Yea okay ... still isn't going to happen.

Wonder if OAK would swap Suzuki for Torrealba?
