Series Thread: Rangers at that dump in Oakland 6/16-18

[Bmurph]

It was pretty great watching him dominate the Yankees

Aside from game one where Wash left Choke Job Wilson out there too long, that was a great series as well

 

[TheRangerDude]

WAHOOOO!!!!

Man, choice is special.

 

[Duane1952]

Yes Choice.

 

[WastinSomeTime]

What is going on tonight? Way to rip it Choice.

 

[TheRangerDude]

Thanks. I was close.

If we meet that projection it would basically add up to losing 11 players for a full season.

 

[WastinSomeTime]

Thought Odor was going to get his 3rd hit. Like how he is taking it to left.

 

[Justinkm83]

Well, Oakland wanted to see Choice's power return.

Man, choice is special.

unless he's in LF

 

[WastinSomeTime]

unless he's in LF

Got a chuckle out of that.

None, but when he had surgery it was said he would miss a minimum of 10 weeks which put him coming back sometime middle to end of July

Beltre (leg) will report to extended spring training in Arizona on Tuesday, Jeff Wilson of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram reports. (about 7 days ago)

Had this to add to what I posted earlier about Beltre

I think Verlander has an era of almost 5.

 

[jta4437]

Come on Lewis, keep it together for a little bit longer

I think Verlander has an era of almost 5.

4.98... it was 2.67 on May 9.

Not surprised Pomeranz got hit so hard tonight... his FIP and xFIP were twice as high as his ERA coming into tonight's game. Granted, those marks were much better than anything he put up prior to this year.

Pomeranz' lack of a real changeup might limit him to a bullpen role. Still liked getting him for Anderson and the change of scenery might do him well (that and the Rockies may have rushed him). Anderson's ground ball tendencies could play pretty well in Coors, though he's shown an exceptional inability to stay healthy. A shame.

 

[TheRangerDude]

Here it is

Do you know how Keri calculated games for starters? I was just wondering because realistically you should probably not count them as out every game but rather every 5th game IMO. Granted, they would still be on the roster and I suppose he is really just counting/projecting days on the DL. So me normalizing it by 162 really might not have too much meaning if he is just counting days on the DL. Still could say 42% of the 25 intended man roster on the DL though and that's still completely nuts.

 

[WastinSomeTime]

Whew!

 

[Duane1952]

Good hustle Elvis.

 

[WastinSomeTime]

Good hustle EA.
