July 23-26 A's vs Rangers

[Kelleyman]

They can make a splash to bring in a FA or two, but I don't think we can buy our way to a WS. That goal will require a good mix of very good young players a good FA or two and some luck. The very good young players mix is not close.

Now if they trade Maz and Odor, then maybe we can acquire some upper level minor league talent and have them here by 2019 or 2020 along with a couple of FA. Then they can make a run for postseason in 2020 and be ready to compete for a title a year or two later.

Yes we need pitching a lot more than one or two big name FA pitching. This is of course best case scenarios. We will likely be big underdogs come start of 2020

The big matchup with KDavis

Like I said before. Don't pitch to him.

Duane was right

 

[Kelleyman]

Walk came back to bite. But LeClerc still has to learn. Worse things could happen

 

[DT LUNA]

Nothing left to say. Just BAD

 

[Kelleyman]

You can't be the best without facing the tough ones. This year you don't walk him. In the playoffs, that is a different matter. LeClerc needed the experience. No apologies

 

[DT LUNA]

No pitching.

Just tired of this guy wearing us out. If someone on the A's is going to beat us, I wouldn't let it be Davis.

 

[Kelleyman]

No pitching.

Who in the Rangers has pitched well against Davis?
But yes pen blew it again tonight. One that was one of the best but they are being exposed for overuse as well.

Our starters can't go deep. Raymond singing praises for Perez going 6 innings........ Please !!!

If you are playing to win I agree but now. I just want the young guys to get battle tested and get better.

As far as winning games this year it is a train wreck.

The key. The BP needs to come in and throw strikes. Maybe you don't get to Davis if you do.

 

[Kelleyman]

This is how I see it as well.

Career high 92 pitches for Crouse.

They had a sellout crowd in Spokane to see the kid pitch.

10:18PM: “The industry belief” is that the Yankees and Brewers are the front-runners for Happ, Sherman writes. The Cubs still “might be in play,” though Chicago also asked the Jays about Marcus Stroman. In another tweet, Sherman mentions that the Blue Jays like Yankees infielder Brandon Drury.

Root for the brewers to get Happ and hope the Yankees come crawling back.

We will probably have to accept whatever they offer and if I’d take it a heartbeat over just holding onto hamels.

No offense, but that’s bullshit.

I know that the team sucks, but you still gotta at least make it look like you’re trying.

Any coaching staff worth their salt would not pitch to a guy like Davis with the game on the line, who has done what he has to the rangers pitching staff.

He DESTROYs ranger pitching.

He has 25 of his 172 home runs against us. We’ve almost single handedly made him an all star.

 

[Nightcrawler]

Leave the front office in place.

Wipe out the whole coaching staff at the end of the year.

 

[True Rangers Fan]

Just... fuck.
