Series Thread: Rangers vs Yankees April-25- 26-27

Surprised they scored a run on 3 hits, but I see my boy Nicholas homered

Opening Day they scored 3 runs on 1 hit.

What is going on with Zach Greinke. He has been terrible. Gave up 7 runs in little over 6 innings but got the win. Has an ERA of 6.16.

Pressure to live up to the contract, I'm sure. He's had trouble getting out of his own head in the past.

We still on pace for a rain out today? I sure hope so. Might re-focus this damn team.

Former Rangers outfielder David Murphy retires at age 34 | SportsDay

Good luck to you, Murph.

I was against the trade when it happened, but when I found out that scouts were saying his bat speed had slipped the year before then I was really against it. If a scout realized that then surely the Rangers knew that. If they didn't know it then that is pretty bad too.

Then you were right on your evaluation of the trade at the time. I was not sure if his back had something to do with his bat speed.

It was probably related to his neck, but it had to be either an injury or that he was in early decline. Either way it should have been an ender.

They apparently need a lot more of that production

David Finfrock, weather man, says if the game does not go beyond 10:00 it should be ok for tonight. That being said, all of you please take care in this severe weather.

The List: 10 Prospects In Line For Quick Promotions - BaseballAmerica.com
The Rangers Andy Ibanez is #1 on this list.

"No prospect in baseball is screaming for a promotion more than Ibanez, who is hitting .435/.487/.710 in 16 games with low Class A Hickory. While it’s understandable that the Rangers would want to ease a Cuban player into his minor league debut, Ibanez could have handled a more aggressive assignment from the start based on his talent level and track record in Cuba. He’s even older than the Rangers major league second baseman, Rougned Odor. The Rangers have second baseman Travis Demeritte hitting well at high Class A High Desert, so skipping Ibanez a level to Double-A Frisco—something the Rangers have done in the past with prospects such as Jurickson Profar and Nomar Mazara—wouldn’t be surprising."

You could see something clicked with him in ST. I wish we were not stuck with an Albatros or 2 at 1st base and we could call him up.

They are saying here that the weather should get to the Dallas Fort Worth area between 9pm and 11pm. Been out buying supplies. Hope it doesn't get to bad.

We're stuck with an albatross at DH. Not 1b.

I think he would have to play 1B for awhile at AAA before they would call him up to play 1B though.
