Series Thread: Rangers Angelic visit to La La land 7/18-7/20

Other than intermittent short term stretches Fielder is done. At least that is my opinion. Any attempt to get him "right" by playing him is counter productive I think.

Terrible in April, May and July so far, pretty good in June.... yeah he's done

One thing that I always think is funny about fielder.... Whenever you see him in the dug out during games, he is usually holding a bat around his shoulder. He's probably trying to send Banny a signal " I'm ready to hit".

No comment. I like that you are on these Ranger forums especially anyone who puts up one of my favorite players of all time in Clemente.

We're good partner....I just wish we could get on the same page with us getting a few more wins, regardless of style points. ha ha

And thanks about my man......Know what? I kinda looked at Mazara when he first came up as a very young Clemente. Less the foot-speed of course. ha

That is what I like about Desmond. He goes beyond just the game. He seems like a stand up guy.

After the infamous, "Odor punch" it made him, IMO, "guy I would go down a dark alley with" kind of fella.

And I have great respect and admiration for those kind of fellas.

Fielder needs another surgery, and no comments?!? C'mon guys!

 

[BULLPEN FAILURE]

Also, Choo on DL. So you all will have the privilege of being entertained by Hanser Alberto and DDJ.

Just found out. Amazing! How can you see he coming back from this!

Looks like it's going to solve the problem of Fielder being in the lineup.

Have to ask Romeo about him having this surgery again.

I called it a few months ago....just pissed it took this long to diagnose.

At least he won't be an albatross in the middle of the order anymore.

Not excited about either one.

 

[Nightcrawler]

The Rangers need a win today. Astros won earlier.

 

[darrylgann]

Would you want him back after two of these now at his age next year if surgery again? Wonder if any recouping of money? And I wonder how much into 2017 would this take?

 

[Duane1952]

No I don't want back after having this twice. Don't know if they have any insurance on these guys if they have to retire for medical reasons.

Nope. He's damaged goods.

You and I both did, and you know he has known for a while. Fuck him for not being honest about it.

Sad news indeed for Fielder. But we have two DHs for us next year in Hamilton and Choo. Choo should come back from DL as a DH. His back won't get any better with age, as many of us know.

 

[saddles]

DeShields has been good in July.

 

[saddles]

Maybe DeShields can stay hot awhile and build his trade value up for this coming offseason.
