I don't know what just happened but it didn't look good to me.

 

[donaldson79]

Freaking walks.

Two of the 3 have scored.

I'm hoping DDJ gets sent down. But I don't want to see Stubbs get any of the ab which would have gone to Rua

I think Stubbs will purely be a pinch runner/defensive replacement/give Desmond the occasional day off in CF.

I don't know what just happened but it didn't look good to me.

Maybe a blister

Rangers' Phil Klein: Optioned to Triple-A Round Rock
by RotoWire Staff | RotoWire
Phil Klein was optioned to Triple-A Round Rock on Friday, Jeff Wilson of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram reports.

Anthony Ranaudo will come up to replace Klein, who gave up five runs in his last appearances to bring his ERA to 5.19. The 27-year-old Klein did post a 12:2 K:BB in his 8.2 frames with the big club, but it's hard to imagine him working into a prominent role in the Texas Rangers ' bullpen at any point this season.

Rangers' Anthony Ranaudo: Recalled from Triple-A
by RotoWire Staff | RotoWire
Anthony Ranaudo was recalled from Triple-A Round Rock on Friday, Jeff Wilson of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram reports.

The right-hander was previously scheduled to start for Round Rock on Friday after missing time in April with a groin issue, but the organization has decided instead that he'd be better utilized in a long-relief role at the major league level. Phil Klein was optioned down to make room for Ranaudo on the big league roster.

All of a sudden we're making Pelfrey look like Darvish. 40 pitches the first 2 innings, 19 the next 2.

Moreland makes me nuts by refusing to do what he knows he does best. Hard for me to understand his thinking.

 

[donaldson79]

Well, it's not a blister. This is concerning already.

 

[Bmurph]

Cant miss up there to Ian

No kidding.....Fat City.

 

[True Rangers Fan]

Right shoulder stiffness

I ready for either Rua or Gallo to take over 1b next year.

Right shoulder stiffness

not good

 

[True Rangers Fan]

not good

His elbow is what cost him 2 years, so at least it's not that.

Ranaudo is nothing more than a AAA. Don't know what they see in him.

 

[Nightcrawler]

Any sliver of momentum the Rangers picked up from Cole yesterday has been stopped by......... Another injury. This team is in a bad way right now. Fielder is a big black hole in the middle of the order, one of our most consistent pitchers might be seriously hurt, and Darvish isn't even back yet.

He's throwing batting practice. You guys might as well do something else with your afternoon at this point.
