Series Thread: Rangers at MMP to play not lAstros 7/17-7/19

This seems like a shitty way for Telis to make his first appearance.

I would have left Chirinos out there and hope he hit one into the boxes.

 

[romeo212000]

Good fuckin call Banny.

You can always count on this team.













To fail.

Our base running killed us.

 

[Justinkm83]

Just another unlucky play. Correa turns his back to it and completely takes his eye off of it. I keep thinking the luck has to turn around, but a loss like this will put us right back into the shitter. Watch us go out and get shut down by Scott fucking Feldman.

He took a foul ball off his hands. Wonder if that was a factor. I wonder what sort of statement is made not letting Choo PH instead of Telis

Yeah, I bet there's something going on behind the scenes there. I know one thing Chirinos would have been my choice ahead of Choo and Telis in those circumstances.

HOU has to feel like they just stole one there.

BTW - Wade Miley has a no hitter against the Angels in the 6th.

Maaaan that was tough to swallow. A good hitting day but only having 2 runs equate to it, and losing to the Astros of all teams.

I don't know if we can hang our head too low because we were competitive until the end, and we had our best chance with Prince Fielder, who hit the ball, but just couldn't get to first base quick enough.

This team will likely finish in last place in the division

I'm honestly not sure Harrison will get that many starts. It's probable that he gets lit up in COL. I applaud his effort and I love Matt, but I don't think it's going to work out for him.

Upon further review I think 5 is on the high side for sure. Unless of course we see something we haven't since he's returned to baseball.

What I'd like to see is Harrison take an assignment to the minors and see if he can get his movement back. If he can't (by the end of the season) then he should retire.

That length of time should be enough for him to satisfy himself he's no longer a ML pitcher, and will allow the Rangers some financial flexibility moving forward.

Who said Corp may have caught his last game for us?

Rangers put Carlos Corporan on DL after aggravating injury in practice | | Dallas Morning News

Believe it was Justin......

We probably all agree on this one.

 

[Bmurph]

Corp may have played his last game as a Ranger?

Looks very possible

 

[donaldson79]

Looks very possible

I guess you saw where he's now on the DL?

Can't imagine we'd return him to the 25 man roster of Telis shows anything at all.

Any team come to mind who's desperate for a backup catcher?

Been hearing Seattle was looking for a another catcher

Ok a little comic relief before game time in honor of local UNT fan/Kubrick. He does other silly accents as well if you are into this silly humor

Great movie/actors and Sellers was hilarious in that role. Not to be sacrilegious and not sure if the line was in that movie? "Glory to the bomb". Always liked your avatar too.
