Texas Rangers place Mitch Moreland on 15-day DL | Texas Rangers Blog

Chris McGuiness contract purchased and called up.

Hopefully its just the 15 days and not 5 weeks like last year

Sure hope so too. Course last year TEX had MY starting at 1b so Mitch going out didn't hurt as much ... (jk).

Well at least McGuiness has a low bar set in replacing Moreland

“I don’t care how he hits or what he produces,” manager Ron Washington said. “He’s a natural first baseman. That’s what matters to me. He can move around the base and do what needs to be done. That’s what I wanted, a natural first baseman.”

Wash may not care how he hits but I do. The hitting with RISP has been killing this team and Murphy hitting second is one of the culprits.

Wash was okay with MY at 1b last two years ... and he was anything but a natural 1st baseman.

We need some natural hitters. This team is slowly slip sliding away and doesn't play catch up very well.

yeah the offense has been lagging a bit this year......still scoring but key hits are rare these days

i think once we get everyone healthy and on the same page we can win the west

so far this year we havent had the whole team clicking.....beltre started slow,injuries and now berkman and some of that guys the started fast have cooled off

if we can stay close (4/5 games back) until all this crap shakes out .....i see a good 2nd half coming


whats the word on colby/soria/harrison and the rest

I don't know about you guys, but I'm getting sick of watching this team.

Trailing 3-1 with runners on 2nd and 3rd base and can't get a ball out of the infield.

Ron Washington is possibly the most incompetent manager in baseball. How do you not pinch run Chris mcguiness for Berkman with Berkman on third and one out? I'm so sick of this idiot pushing the wrong buttons. He needs to go.

Bottom of the 15th coming up. Put Kirkman in, I have work to do.

This game should have been over a long time ago. So sick of this garbage having to endure Murphy's incompetence at the plate on a daily basis.

Good grief, Murphy fails again with runners on 1st and 3rd. Reaching for a pitch a foot outside the strike zone.

Like I said in another thread just not going to watch his Ab's anymore. Think the sample size is large enough to see his struggles.

Murphy puts one in the seats..of course nobody on and they have a lead.

So what do you know when I dont watch Murphy bat he hits a homerun.

He's still first ball swinging. He's still crap. One homer doesn't change that.
