Series Thread: Hanging on by a prayer, Rangers host Padres

[True Rangers Fan]

I dunno Detroit seems to be the most recent bastion for castoff Rangers' relievers

And based on the results, I'm a bit surprised they kept that train going.

Actually he was hitting .305 on June 30 so he has dropped 20 points. So you were being kind.

Well in the last 10 games, means going back to the 29th, and he was hitting .300, he had a good game on the 30th, but the point is, its not like he fell off the face of the earth, he's had hits in 8 of 10 games, he just really hasn't had much multi-hit games and a couple 0-fers in there, which can drop your average almost 5 points, he's cooled off but he's certainly not nosediving, which is what my original comment was focused on

Hope Lewis gets back on track tonight

$3 mil is chump change all things considered. It was a worthwhile risk to take. It didn't work out, and in the grand scheme of things it didn't cost hardly anything. Kind of making mountains out of molehills here.

He was a spare from Day 1.

Good ole hindsight

 

[jta4437]

He was out, but its the Rangers and it won't go in our favor

 

[romeo212000]

He's out, but they'll fuck this up.

 

[jta4437]

He's out, but they'll fuck this up.

Its not clear and convincing

Good ole hindsight

BS ... no hindsight. Want to scroll it back Bucky?

Exactly. The only thing Winding is dissapointed in is he didn't designate Detwiler as his whipping boy from the start.

Feel free to find me a quote at the time of the trade where you called him a spare. I'm not saying it doesn't exist. I'm just not gonna go looking for it.

Oh I know you didn't like him from the beginning, but if he had pitched well you wouldn't be bringing it back up, that's for sure.. I notice you've gotten off DDJ's back recently

And who calls people Bucky?

 

[romeo212000]

Like I said. The Rangers get fucked in the ass every single time.

Need I bring up the DDJ situation. He was gonna be the Torrealba/Lowe of this season back in spring training.

Meatball to Upton. Jeez Colby.

 

[RevSader]

Another middle middle fat one from Colby.

Romeo ... the problem with both you and JTA is that you aren't ever brave enough to make a call.
I'll put my calls up against anyone ... going back to the old board.

You want the list?

Detwiler was getting SP pay but never pitched in that role under that contract. He had spare written all over him when he was still at WAS.

two pop outs to SS... lucky

$3 mil is hardly SP pay. I could see your point if he were getting 6+, but he wasn't.

Second, I have made calls on guys. I missed big time on Choo, but I said Fielder would have a great year this season. So far I'm batting .500.

I agreed that DDJ changed my mind. Said that clearly.

I call people Bucky who I think are being a smart ass. Bucky.
