Cruz 9-21 lifetime against Price. So, somehow Wash needs to get Gentry, Soto and Cruz all in the same lineup. AJP may need to sit...but you and I know he won't.

 

[Nathan Ahle/Triple 7]

What do you guys think about Cruz? Think he will be at DF or back in RF?

Could go with Rios in left, Gentry in center, and Cruz in right which puts Leo on the pine.

Best bet is at DH. We need him.

Best bet is at DH.

I think you're right which puts Soto on the pine if Wash is hell bent to play AJP which he will be.

That was my thinking. At least until he gets back into rhythm with his fielding

 

[jaar01]

Don't like Moreland against anyone right now, especially against Price. Anyway to get him out of the lineup tomorrow?

Baker could play 1st

Soto?

 

[Tacobenboy]

Big question to me is where in the order do you put Cruz? I'm thinking six.

Baker if he's healthy. HE hits lefties

 

[darrylgann]

I agree. It's about to be October, don't need no stinking paycheck. I need the Rangers to go 13-8 between now and November and I'll be good.

Glad you have your priorities in check.

If it were me I say Soto simply because there is no way Wash sits AJP and plays Soto behind the plate. It really does suck that AJP, Rios, or Baker (injured) can't play first and make Mitch the odd man out.

Taco must be a general. Doesn't sound like a private.

Agree with all of you. Moreland just stinks right now. Just has a hard time coming thru at crunch time. Baker has not been doing that great either but in this case it might be best to play him over Moreland.

Sports hernia hard to get over. Some of these guys need an off season fast, Beltre.

6 would be good for Cruz. Adds depth for the lineup and keeps the top of the order in sync

Unfortunately not a general, if I was I would have been able to justify some urgent reason for me to be in the metroplex tomorrow on business.

Where were you deployed? Afghanistan?
