All star break approaches as rangers visit Baltimore 07/13-07/15

[DT LUNA]

A win. Give Crawler credit. lol

 

[BULLPEN FAILURE]

Close one but a W.

 

[WastinSomeTime]

Not a very happy Hamels.

I missed the last few innings. He can't be walking Davis. Were the balls hit by Trump and Valencia well hit balls? I know on the 1st run he gave up that was some bad luck.

 

[Nightcrawler]

Good showing by diekman and kela.

Decent outing by Cole

Choo streak extended.


We really need the trade bait to keep it up for the next 2 weeks so we can let JD get to work. A good deadline could make up for a bunch of the prospects we lost in years we tried to compete.

 

[saddles]

7 shutout inninigs from Hans Crouse tonight. 1 H, 0 BB, and 11 K.

 

[saddles]

5 innings from Palumbo tonight. 4 H, 0 W, 2 K. Only 2 unearned runs.

At this point a trade could occur at any time. At one time it was rumored that Hamels would be traded by the AS break.

Hamels is looking like a July 30 or 31st trade at this point.

I have no doubt that hamels and diekman will be traded.

I’m hoping Choo is

I still think Beltre and Elvis will be here next year.

Political Correctness run amok.

Texas Rangers suspend Papa John's promotion in wake of N-word scandal involving pizza chain's founder

The Rangers have always been a “Walt Disney” like organization.

I still remember when they told some lady to go turn her “Yankees suck” t shirt inside out. She got mad and left.

Everything seems geared towards the kids when you go to a ball game. I think they try to play up the family friendly thing a little too much.

I’d much rather see a game in Fenway or Yankees stadium but I live too far away!

Well the Yankees suspended their affiliation with Papa John's completely yesterday.

You know what I mean.

The atmosphere is much different at Fenway or Yankee stadium.

It’s full of hardcore knowledgeable baseball fans.

That might have been Cole’s last start with the Rangers

 

[Kelleyman]

HC and JPM highlights. He has swagger

Wouldn’t bother me

I thought you were talking about in relation to Papa John's since that was the quote you were replying to. Yeah, you are right on the atmosphere being different.

Trade Notes: Machado, Braves, Shark, Yanks, Andujar, Rangers, Cards

More on the Yankees, whose starting third baseman, Miguel Andujar, has been in the rumor mill of late. The Rangers and “several” other teams have made more than one inquiry regarding Andujar in the past, Joel Sherman of the New York Post reports. And “multiple executives” informed Sherman that the Yankees are now trying to drive up Andujar’s value so they can sell high on the 23-year-old. General manager Brian Cashman shot that down, though, saying: “That is completely false. I think [Andujar] is a hell of a player. We have said ‘no’ to him [in trade talks] not just this year but from Double-A on up. I have not included him any deals and that should say how I feel about him.” Cashman goes on to defend Andujar’s questionable defense in Sherman’s piece and adds, “Where he was and where he is now, I feel vindicated not moving him.”

You would have liked sitting in the cheap seats at the old Arlington Stadium then, back when General Admission was $4 for adults and $2 for kids. The atmosphere in our current stadium is much better to me.
