Series Thread: Big series in the West against Mariners here 8/29-8/31

There's no doubt in my mind that was intentional.

Why hit Elvis?

 

[donaldson79]

Its pretty obvious if Lewis gets himself back in gear and the way Holland is pitching AJ and Perez are not starters in the playoffs.

He will not be a playoff starter.

You're being premature in this assumption IMO.

First, Colby had a Gawd awful outing in his last minor league start. Regardless of what he had to say after the game. There's no "real" reason to bring him back immediately.

Second, Holland's best 2 games last season were the first two he threw after his rehab. Same could, hopefully not, but certainly "could" happen again this season.

I'm all in for letting the next few weeks play out and let those chips fall where they may.

 

[saddles]

Good! Gone from the division.

But now we might have to face him in the ppstseason.

 

[WastinSomeTime]

We better not have given up Mendez for this guy.

Correct. Not if Darvish, Hamels, Holland and Lewis are healthy.

 

[PhantomWarrior]

Man the Rangers are really coming around.

Who are you going to trust in the post season? And you have to take the start by Colby with a grain of salt. Colby will get it together .

I agree. Let's see who actually catches "Reggie Jackson fever" [Mr. October] going into the post season (have to get there first!).

 

[PhantomWarrior]

O's pick up Stubbs.

 

[RevSader]

I hate Seager

 

[WastinSomeTime]

That was the 1st HR given up in 9 games. Pretty good.

 

[WastinSomeTime]

Nice play Elvis.

Sad the streak ended...

To answer, "I'm not sure.....yet."

And I do on Colby (grain of salt). But he was awful. I'm all for him coming back and being the Lewis we love. But at the same time, his own words were something to the effect of, "I felt so great this season, got hurt, and now I feel like it's spring training again."

I can just say the statement didn't make me feel great about Colby on the short run......thus my wait and see attitude toward who is/isn't starting in the PS. At least partly so.

My goodness what a show of power from the Rangers today.

Yes, Colby has pitched very bad in rehab starts before and come up here and pitched just fine.

 

[RevSader]

God dammit this has been amazing today

Any doubt who is the best team in the West?
