Series Thread: Rangers up North to Play Toronto 7/18-7/20

[WastinSomeTime]

Does LAA have any decent prospects left for any kinda trade? Don't see them doing much this off season.

They weren't suppose to have trade chips now according to the media but they did and on top of it have called up some very productive players in the past couple of years.

Unfortunately he has not shown me where he really adjusts where needed.

I agree. It's like he's content with basically playing sand lot baseball.

Umpire is pretty tight with strikes and we still flail at the second pitch.

 

[WastinSomeTime]

Too many wasted pitches.

True

Good. Glad to get them out of the picture for anyone we may want in the near future.

Colby, you are just not going to last long with that pitch count.

 

[romeo212000]

Way too many pitches.

Did JPA say or do something that causes the fans to boo him?

I don't know how he conducted himself while there. But he did spend his entire career (4 years) with the organization before us with them.

So maybe it's just full-of-crap fans or he said something (see Kinsler) on his way outta town. Don't really know. Matters not so much I guess.

 

[donaldson79]

Way too many pitches.

We've got the same pattern going in the second half as the first. Our ace goes 6 2/3, and everyone else goes 5 or less.

50 pitches in 2 innings. Holy crap.

Obviously choo's ankle is still bothering him. Why have they not put him on the DL to let it heal? What do we have to lose?

 

[romeo212000]

Fuck off Donaldson.

 

[darrylgann]

Heartbreaker for Baltimore, wasn't it?

 

[romeo212000]

What the hell are you doing Elvis?

 

[donaldson79]

Fuck off Donaldson.

What's your problem?

 

[romeo212000]

What's your problem?

I was referring to Josh Donaldson's walk off homer over Baltimore.

I don't know if this is fact, but listening to 103.3 the other day, they were talking about how Choo really needs like 30 days on the couch, but his pride and dignity won't let him do this.

And I agree...we've got absolutely nothing to lose and it would behoove us to convince Choo of the same.

Hopefully he's not doing damage that's going to affect him in the future. We've got him for 6 more years.

Good....couldn't figure why we were differing pages today.

Now Lewis is through 3 with 71 pitches. Not sure how much longer we can continue to let this happen.

And it doesn't matter if he doesn't give up runs in the long run. If he can only go 4/5 per outing, he'll contribute to the devastation of the BP. And Lord knows, we've got other problems in our rotation besides Lewis. But at least, some of those problems are younger one's and have upside.

I think you may see a move on choo once adducci or e. beltre are healthy or even both

If the ankle has been keeping him from performing at 100% for this long than Wash needs to step up and do the right thing. Put him on the DL.IMO
