Series Thread: Rangers to prey on Twins at Target Field

[DT LUNA]

Could swear our "Crackerjack" announcing team just said that was our starters in NE. Perhaps I should have quoted my sources. ha

Just looked on the ESPN schedule and you're correct, Hamels tomorrow. Nick/Griffin/Perez in Boston.

And honestly, I'm not hanging on everyone word today so I could have easily misunderstood. No sense in throwing rocks at our "Crackerjack" announcing team than they earn, eh? ha ha ha

They're one rock better than today's pitchers

Our only 3 current ML starters. At this point we just need competent (not even necessarily good) pitchers who can eat 1-2 innings without giving up multiple runs each time out. Gonzalez, Ramos, and Jackson don't belong anywhere near an ML field.

Correct and correct. All the more reason to at least give someone at the lower levels a chance to come up, experience the "big dance" and then regroup around/during the AS break.

Just don't see the down side really.

Good drive Maz

Hamels is scheduled to pitch tomorrow.

 

[Nightcrawler]

Think you're right, Crawler. Means Nick pitches Monday. Dang!

It's a good thing that we have Cole going tomorrow. The Rangers need to win both series against the Twins. The Twins look really good today against our triple A pitching staff, but Cole should handle them tomorrow. The Red Sox series is going to be really tough, they're throwing their best guys at us.

Yeah, kinda wish Cole was pitching Monday. Nick would have better luck with the Twins than the Red Sox there.

For what it's worth, @RRExpress starting pitchers today now listed as Claudio and Monegro -- not Roth.

From Newberg.

Mercifully this game has concluded.

Nice outing for Holaday though. ha

All kidding aside, nice job by Tolley, Barnette too.

Red Sox series is gonna be really tough, even if we had Cole starting. I like our chances tomorrow.

Me too. Should win the series

The best team in AL was the worse today.

Crawler can exhale, Astros lose 7-6

You guys laugh about it, but it was a big help I think. This team is just trying to make it to the all star break and hopefully regroup.

You're a good sport, Crawler. Sure we all got an eye on the scoreboard. It will become more pronounced as the season goes on. Don't care if it's by one game or twenty games as long as we're in first.

I'd almost be afraid to give him a QO. What if he took it? Holy crap, wouldn't that put us in a bad pickle?

We did not give Murphy a qualifying offer. Thinking Moreland does not get one.

Me too. Let him walk. It's time to find places for our future

Good pick up. I'd forgotten about Murph, and I'm betting you're right.

Absolutely.....I'm ready for our "finding places for our future to begin tomorrow" myself; as in, start playing Rua/Profar more at 1st.

If Profar is not to be at 1st in the future I don't see any place for him full time and that is a major concern

So Alex Gonzalez should never pitch another game for Texas...

Not according to Will the Thrill and probably others. What do you say?
