Series Thread: Rangers Close Out Abysmal Season Hosting Astros September 24-27

[DT LUNA]

Lynn never looks shook. Easy going type a guy

 

[DT LUNA]

Hope the off season gives Willie time to heal both mentally and physical. He has had a rough go after being hit in the head.

 

[DT LUNA]

@Nightcrawler looks like you can sleep good tonight.

One more loss gets us the second pick in the draft.

Our Reverse Magic Numbers To Get The Second Pick

Red Sox 1
Royals 1
Nationals 0
Diamondbacks 1
Tigers 1
Orioles 1

I was surprised the Dback swept them. 2 bottom of the barrel teams and I figured they would split the wins a little...

 

[BULLPEN FAILURE]

Rangers certainly doing their part tonight.

 

[DT LUNA]

This game came quickly to a close.

 

[Kelleyman]

Lynn getting hammered. Roof open and balls fly out

 

[fordman84]

after this loss we are 1 game back from the #1 spot? With PIT having the tie breaker it's really 2 games back, but still within sight. Lynn is our only chance to win, and that didn't happen.

That second pick is ours. Will the Pirates help us out over the weekend?

I am fine with second.

2nd should be enough, even for Kip Fagg. I still think Fagg should be replaced tho.

Why was Romine playing?

Why was Romine playing?

Apostel injured himself on a play and Woody decided to move IKF from SS to 3B and play Romine at SS

 

[Shaggy]

Who is out there that would a good player to grab with the second draft pick?

Thank you.

It is way too early to tell at this point. Some have expected pitchers Rocker and Leiter to go with the first two picks, but others have been slotted higher than Leiter by some. There is also another season to be played, so a lot can change.

 

[saddles]

Thank you.

And Tejeda was scratched from the lineup due to a skin irritation.

Okay. I was wondering about that because it wouldn't make sense to play a 34 SS when we are playing our young guys.

 

[saddles]

Garrett Crochet was drafted by the White Sox just a few weeks ago and he is already pitching for them in relief. He was taken with the 11th overall pick, just three slots ahead of the Rangers first pick in June.

Through his first 4 innings in the big leagues he has only allowed one baserunner and has struck out five.

Thought the same thing and also wondering why Odor is playing every day.
