2022 Texas Rangers Spring Training Thread

[True Rangers Fan]

Wonder who the closer is going to be.

Barlow is my guess

broadcast said this past weekend that Barlow tied for the AL lead in saves in September.

maybe. personally i would like to see 2 or 3 set up guys establish themselves. strong bullpen = strong team.

Nothing wrong with that idea. We seem to have what it would take. Several guys in upper nineties

I think the bullpen will have a bigger than expected responsibility this year compared to last year. I'm anticipating a lot of 9-7 games.

Milestones that might be reached this year

Clayton Kershaw: Dodgers’ all-time strikeout leader
Kershaw is very close to Don Sutton’s Dodgers franchise record for strikeouts, and likely would have gotten there in 2021 if not for injury. Now, having re-signed with the Dodgers in free agency instead of playing elsewhere, he gets his chance. Sutton notched 2,696 during his time in Dodger Blue. Kershaw enters the year at 2,670. The only active pitcher who is his team’s franchise strikeout leader is Stephen Strasburg, at 1,718, more than anyone else in a Nationals or Expos uniform.

My tinfoil hat says that played a part in him going back

Yeah definitely had to play a part.
Being a franchise leader for any mlb team is amazing.. doing it with the Dodgers.. priceless

Would not be surprised at Bush

 

[Kelleyman]

That’s what Banister wasn’t smart enough to do

Lol you sniped that one in there

 

[scotsman1948]

Yonny Hernandez was removed from the Round Rock game just before it started. I wonder if something is up.

I’m so glad the rangers tossed mr. Banister into the nearest trash canister.
