Aug 19-20 Padres host Rangers

[Kelleyman]

Santana getting tossed for sniping and Woody defending him. Bad look.

PH for Choo a bad move. Excuses telling reporters we are trying.
Been a terrible week for our manger.

We come across soft as a whole minus Lynn. Still

 

[Kelleyman]

It is time to finish the rebuild. It would be great to add another piece or two at the deadline and then sign better free agents in the offseason.

We have already wasted opportunities over the past couple of years to deal Odor, Choo, and Minor. I am not sure how this deadline will play out, but if they can make a major trade with Lynn they should do it. Maybe Frazier will have some value as well.

Honestly I am thinking unless they change the character of this team, rebuild or no rebuild won't matter. Looks really weakminded. Also think you are right re ownership and dollars not to be spent. But could affect a lot of teams. But to me we are still bottomfeeders for now

In Lynn's starts it has been
6 IP 2 H 0 ER and a 1-0 win
6 IP 1 H 0 ER and a no decision
6.1 IP 3 H 1 ER and a no decision
5 IP 4 H 2 ER and a 7-4 win
9 IP 2 H 1 ER and a 3-2 win where we scored a run in the 7th and 8th to win
Then last night 7 IP 8 H 2 ER and a no decision

We really have a hard time scoring for this guy.

My idea was to add some longterm free agents both this past offseaspn and this coming one while we develop young talent. It might be a little tough to add all the free agents after everyone else is ready. Well, now it appears that the free agent part won't begin for at least 15 more months.

That pretty much means Lance Lynn is more valuable to trade than to keep.

We might as well because it is even more apparent that the ownership is interested in competing

 

[scotsman1948]

I think Huff is our longterm answer at catcher.

I do too but I think a full year in 2021 at AAA would be in his best interest

@DT LUNA young Crawlers mouth needs some soap

Agree. If that continues I might place him on ignore. Don't like doing that but most of us are not impressed by immature filthy language.

Sure won't hurt.

 

[True Rangers Fan]

2020 has not been kind to our beloved Rangers. The year started with the new digs catching on fire. Been all downhill since then.

I would imagine he wouldn't spend much of 2021 above AA.

This is true. Had hopes Guzman would pan out-fail. Had hope for Oder-fail. Had hope of Gallo catching on for more long ball-fail. Hoped Santana would repeat 2019- fail. Hoped Minor would repeat-fail. Just my observation and am sure there is more ya'll could add.

Not Rangers-exclusive, but not being able to go to the damn games is on my list.

apologies to you and everyone else.

we’ve given up 5 grand slams and every other team in mlb has given up 1 or less.

Being a fan of this team is hardly ever easy it seems.

I would give Santana an incomplete. Gallo may get hot yet. I am not sure how much his wrist might still be bothering him.

Part of me wants to say that the structure of the season being so jacked up created preparation issues for the players. But all teams were affected in the same way with that, more or less, and they don't seem to be suffering too much. Especially when facing us.

 

[saddles]

Evan with a funny.

My observations were meant to be to date. Danny and Joey could come on at any time.

Well you could be right

 

[saddles]

Joey has 7 through 23 games. That means in a regular season he would be on pace for 49 HR.
