Wow. Again away. Right after the Detroit series. May they never come home!

They have stunk it up at home, lets see how the rest of this road trip plays out

 

[Bmurph]

We will need Martinez to pitch his ass off tomorrow. We don't fare well against Iwakuma.


Another good W! That has to feel good for Leonys.

Maybe another Nick has a great start in him, Tep was already fantastic in this series! It would be nice to see the pitching round out, but i am just glad to see a bit of life from the offense lately.

Happy Father's Day Gents!

Soria is a FA after this season isn't he?

Some knuckleheads on the board were suggesting we trade him.

Right back at ya', Murph.


Little streak of your own with these threads!

Thank you DG, would love to stay on a little streak tomorrow as well!

Have had help from Yu, Tep, and Joe kept us in this one. There are still positives to take from this team, its just all about believing these guys can make things happen to stay around .500.

How is that a bad idea? He has max value as a reliever. Texas could pick up a solid return for their investment.

Thank you kindly. Hope you have a terrific day as well.

Now, all I want is for you to get us a win today and my day will be complete.

Go Rangers

You have no business calling anyone a knucklehead. I would still consider trading Soria depending on the return. Soria will be highly coveted.

By the way, that "knucklehead" was me

Tell you something for a fact, every player is trad-able. It all boils down to what is another team willing to give us in return? It really is this simple.

Personally, I hope we don't and a team would really have to overcompensate for me to feel otherwise. Our BP is a complete shadow of itself and he is actually someone you can build it around.

$7m option next season is going to be a little steep for a releiver so I see no harm in seeing what's out there but RP is definitely something we need and if we get rid of Soria, that's just another hole to fill in the off season.

Starting pitching is going be a even bigger hole... so if he can get you a great starter, let's do it, but a team trading us would likely be competing and they are going to need their starters to continue to do that. So that scenario is pretty unlikely IMO.

Ranger dude gets it. I think people are thinking too hard about getting rid of the few good players we do have. Do you want to be Round Rock Rangers 2.0 next year?

This was my post: "Tell you something for a fact, every player is trad-able. It all boils down to what is another team willing to give us in return? It really is this simple."

I'm not recommending anything, but more willing to at least explore options available. Maybe you've heard the phrase, "listen and learn?"

I said it sufficiently once, so perhaps I'm being redundant.

No not redundant Don. Some people hear just don't listen thus don't savvy.

Thanks.....I'm not his enemy.....but gotta admit, he was pissing me off with this attitude.

Baseball, like life, is a series of negotiations. But we can't make this mistake of, "he's untradable."

Honestly DT....there's nothing magical about this is it?
