Series Thread: Rangers at the Big Apple for four, 6/27-6/30

[Bmurph]

Anybody heard anything on Gallo, haven't seen him Round Rocks lineup in awhile.

Haven't heard anything lately, looking for an update from Bennie any moment

 

[Bmurph]

Pat Summitt's 100% graduation rate is impressive, in this day and age

I just think Prince finally got his act together. You know he was hearing about it from everywhere. But if Fielder and Tolleson are back that would be great.

In a pennant and WS run you need your veterans to be consistent and reliable. We get both of them clicking we are in for a great ride.

I'm thinking maybe they're banking on Kela coming back, Tolley finding his form, and JD picking up a quality lefty.

When Kela gets back, Bush may go down to RR to get a rest. This is his rookie season and he has seen a lot of work.

His appearance rate slowed way down in June. He came up May 13 and got into 10 games in May. In June he's only thrown 9.2 IP over 11 outings. That's a lot better usage.

Noticed that too. Noticed the BA dipping and his last game he struck out twice. Maybe they are giving him two days off.

His appearance rate slowed way down in June. He came up May 13 and got into 10 games in May. In June he's only thrown 9.1 IP over 11 outings. That's a lot better usage.

He's also only worked consecutive days once in June.

If they can keep him and Kela it would be great.

They absolutely will keep both on the roster. LuJax will likely go down when Kela Monster is back up and running. And then in september we can add some guys like LeClerc or Sadzeck since they are on the 40.

From MLB Trade rumors:

Rangers GM Jon Daniels tells Evan Grant of the Dallas Morning News that he’s more focused on getting injured pitchers Yu Darvish, Derek Holland, Colby Lewis, Keone Kela and Tanner Scheppers healthy right now than he is on the trade market. Kela, according to Daniels, is the closest of the bunch to returning and could be back prior to the All-Star break (which would be ahead of his initially projected schedule). However, Daniels also tells Grant that he won’t take the 10-game lead that Texas carried into play today for granted and assume that he has the luxury of too much patience. “We’re aware of where we are, but I try not to look at things that way,” said Daniels of the his club’s sizable division lead. “We’re very cognizant of what can happen quickly.” Part of the reason for not yet placing a significant emphasis on trade talks may be a lack of willing trade partners, as well; Daniels told WEEI.com’s Rob Bradford on Monday that there simply isn’t much quality pitching available on the trade market.

West Notes: Greinke, Urias, Panik, Karns, Rangers

I think there was an issue with his heal.

That's what I read too. Not very specific information though. I didn't even hear if it was the same heel problem that he had before.

 

[Nightcrawler]

Those angels are really sucking. Will probably get swept by the stros.

All I care about is us winning.

Tanner has a lot of issues to take care of 1st. Between the ears and command. He has no idea where his pitches are going the last we saw of him. Another thrower and not a pitcher.

How awesome would it be to have a really good team AND hold onto all our prospects for a season?

Oh and also, don't let up, step on their throats

Agreed, we're all adults here and can read a scoreboard and standings

Astros are a concern.

 

[romeo212000]

Astros are a concern.

Yep. We gotta keep doing work against them because they are not dead and buried by any stretch.

 

[WastinSomeTime]

Astros are a concern.

They are on a roll and so are we. But the Astros were playing good ball when they came into Arlington last time and looked what happened. We can only take care of ourselves and at the same time it has to be a little disheartening to the Astros to see how hot they are but not gaining ground.
