Need to call him up anyway, probably. Better than who we have there already.

No doubt he's better but the end result will be the same. IMO

 

[darrylgann]

It'll be OK, Dude! We just have 3 more months

 

[TheRangerDude]

If we trade Soria to the Halos it better be for Trout, Richards, or Weaver. Last thing we need to do is help them with relief.

 

[DT LUNA]

Snyder finally gets one.

 

[Justinkm83]

A little late there Snyder.

I would not want Weaver, he's on his last leg.

 

[Justinkm83]

Pena isn't going to help this team. No one player is. Sorry to say.

Disagree. He is better than Snyder so he will help. Will he help us enough to turn the whole thing around, no.

My point.

It would give them a better product for the fan. That's about all that matters know. The attendance will be swooning down soon. Very, very soon.

Man, what a kick in the balls series... just hope we can get something productive from this season. If we can Martinez or Tepesch to the next level at this point I will be satisfied. Need that more than anything for next season. Be nice if Choice could get his average up and play a little smarter defense too. That way we could trade Rios with a little confidence. At this point I wouldn't want Choice as our starting RF next season.

Yeah, he is not the same guy for sure but he's still an arm and thats what we need. They wouldn't give us any of those guys for Soria though and if its the Halos... Im not interested in any other offers.

well maybe Cron... just so he cant hit vs.us.

They are probably waiting till the Sept. call up for Luke Jackson. That's the arm we need.

Yep, this keeps up they will not see 3 million this year

 

[DT LUNA]

At this point pitching is the big question for next year. Will Derek be back up to par? When we see Martin and will he be up to par? Can't count on Colby or Matt. Will Robbie make it back after going to the pen? Just a few thoughts I have to help me sort out some priorities. Pitching is what I see as #1. Good luck JD. Hope you can let the genie out of the bottle.

Is he ready? Haven't heard.

 

[darrylgann]

Justin is the man for that. Not that up on minor league. But he's in triple A and Martinez was just in double A, so I would give him a shot whenever JD and them thinks he's ready. This is definitely the season for tryouts.

Rangers radio broadcast reporting that Murphy left the game with a sore knee.

Not surprising

Luke, Chi Chi and Asher (and Rua & Gallo) are all in Double A.

That said, don't believe any of them are on the 40 man yet. Luke will be for sure (to protect him against the rule 5 draft)....so no need to add the others to it for "tryouts". IMO

Had all of Yu I could watch last night without going ballistic. So distance was the better part of verbal valor.

But did want to chime in regarding the lack of effort to sign Morales.

First, if you're going to offer him an insulting offer, then why do anything? Second, we had the money via insurance to sign him for this year, and then see what happens. Third, I said before he went to the Twins that by us not making an effort to improve would be a very negative sign to both the team and our fan base.

No, I don't think he was the savior of this season. But he would have given us some offensive help, while giving us fans something to hang our hat on; at least a little.
