Houston Astros vs. Texas Rangers 7/5

[BLeslie59Rangers]

We owe Feldman a beating.

He won't be able to beat us with his bat this time...damn that was a ridiculous game...

Who's taking Tepesch's spot? Too soon for Ogando.

Maybe Wolfe?

We get Chris Davis for 4 days and then Fister, Sherzer, and Verlander in Detroit. Gonna be a tough road trip. Likely our toughest of the season.

Heard any updates on colby.

Hasn't even pitched a rehab start since his last setback.

One glimmer of hope, the A's get the Pirates and the Red Sox

I think he's thrown some bullpen sessions

They'll find a way to sweep both of em.

I meant to post this earlier, don't give ESPN any hits at all. Just reading the blog continues their traffic, and that's all they care about. The comments don't matter to them, but losing traffic will.

Lonestar ball will have all injury updates, and I'm open to ideas about where you find the line-up pre-game

Is there many left over there?

Only one comment from their rapid response after today's game, DT. ONE. I chose not to add. Sad!

MLBtraderumors says the Rangers are watching the Sox very close. Rios and Peavy. I think Peavy is almost back.

 

[Bmurph]

Manny 1 for 3 w a walk and a strikeout for RR tonight

I saw that. Rather try for Lee and Garza first then fall back on Peavy. Is Rios any good? We do need another hitter.

They need to keep an eye on Garza and Schierholtz as well

Rios would be a good add, want no part of Peavy though

I think Rios would be a great addition. He's a tall, athletic, right handed bat w/ power. He can play any of the OF spots, and would fit very nicely into the 5th or 6th spot in the order. I would also like Garza or Lee, but I think Lee will cost too many prospects. I was just reporting what I read.

I like Schierholtz also. I was the first one to bring him up on the other site a few weeks back. I think Rios is a better fit though.

I am just not a fan of rios. He's been scuffling lately sporting just a .643 OPS in July. He's getting on base at a serviceable .324 clip and wRC+ 103 this season. I realize he would be an upgrade from murph, but what would it cost? Frankly, I'm not certain we wouldn't be better with an OF of Martin, Beltre, Cruz. Unfortunately, for that to take place somebody besides wash is going to have to write the lineup card.

As far as peavy, is he really much of an upgrade? He's a fly ball pitcher who is on the wrong side of 30. There's some indication he's had a little bad luck because his babip is sitting at .293 this year, but he's also giving up 1.39hr/9. His k/9 looks good. So I suppose he could be a decent pick up provided you're not expecting him to be more than a #3-4 pitcher, and we do not have to give up too much to get him.
