Series Thread: Rangers Try To Duplicate Recent Success As Twins Come To Town - April 24-26

[True Rangers Fan]

Come on Banny what's up with you keeping Nap in the cleanup spot.

He's moving around everyone BUT Napoli.

It is really ironic that had Beltre not been injured most of us would still be thinking of Gallo as the kid who looked awful going 1 for 25 late last year. Last year it took an injury to Choo to find out what Mazara could do. At some point within the next few months we might get to see Guzman up here. In spite of our present struggles the future of this club can be very bright if JD is able to make a good trade or three at the deadline.

I'm starting to think we need to go all in to resign Darvish and trade Lucroy at the deadline for prospects.

I'd like it if Lucroy were performing a little better so that the return would be better.

Not a bad move. I have noticed that the Rangers seem to be handling injuries better this year. As in making sure guys are ready to go before bringing them back. What happened with Choo last year pissed me off, it was total incompetence. The guy was brought back before he was ready at least 3 times and the injury never fully healed until the offseason. I think the owners were vocal about wanting Choo in the lineup because of what happened with Fielder, they didn't want both guys sitting around doing nothing after investing so much money into them.

Choo had a number of different injuries last year. It wasn't the same one over and over again.

Last night for Frisco:

SP Yohander Mendez: 7 IP, 1 H, 1 R, 2 BB, 7 SO

Between him and Sadzeck maybe we finally have some good young pitching to look forward to a year or 2 from now.

He's struggling but hopefully add Ariel Jurado to that list

Same thing I was going to say

strained right calf, strained left hamstring, lower back, broken forearm, maybe the calf and hamstring are related, maybe

Oh look...another walk

 

[DT LUNA]

Start off with another walk.

 

[RevSader]

fucking jackass delino...nothing was gained from you stealing third you asshole

 

[Nightcrawler]

Oh look...another walk

Makes me think other teams saw how easily the blue Jays beat us in the playoffs last year and they are just duplicating their approach.

 

[Duane1952]

Another out on the base paths.

Beginning to wonder if anybody is coaching them.

 

[RevSader]

Another out on the base paths.

4 in 2 nights...just awful

 

[Duane1952]

Nap is becoming pretty close to an automatic out.

 

[RevSader]

get the leadoff man on base...he get himself out...what a great offense

 

[Duane1952]

4 in 2 nights...just awful

And it doesn't look like anybody is saying anything to them when they go back to the dugout.
