Series Thread: Rangers Go To Oakland For 4 July 25-28

Is that Rollie Fingers pitching!? Are we stuck in the 1970s?

You are old.

A trade is possible but certainly unlikely based on history as we know it.

A willingness greatly increases the likelihood. Right now that ingredient is missing.

Whatever trade they would make would underscore what a terrible decision is was to extend him. Hence, the unwillingness.

You are old.

Aren't we all? lol

 

[Duane1952]

Santana not doing well at ss.

 

[darrylgann]

You are old.

Remember those stupid yellow shirts and green pants and, I think, colored baseballs of Charley Finley’s As. Odd team.

 

[darrylgann]

This is one tough start of a ballgame

 

[Duane1952]

Not of his doing. Lynn with 28 pitches before getting first out.

I'm use to it.

 

[DT LUNA]

to Lynn

 

[Duane1952]

Good job of only giving up 1 run there.

 

[DT LUNA]

DDJ that was a nice catch

 

[darrylgann]

much better inning. Good job DDJ

 

[Duane1952]

To much foul territory.

 

[Kelleyman]

Maz building trade value

Willie Rakes. Not a slugger but a craftsman hitter

So should Lynn but you don’t hear as much about him

 

[Bmurph]

Bench him more.......play him periodically in spots where he can’t hurt the team. He’s really been a drag this year when you assess his overall performance.

Couple of days ago he was leading MLB in RBI's and HR's by a 2nd baseman and leads the Rangers with 58 RBI and he has hit better with runners in scoring position than anyone on the team. Makes some pretty spectacular plays on defense like last night. Granted he boots the occasional one but so does every player in the league. Yeah he didnt hit for a decent avg early in the season but his production is more than adequate. You just dont like him and like to bitch. Get off the dudes nuts for awhile and you may learn to appreciate him some

 

[Kelleyman]

Lynn is deadly with high FB

 

[Kelleyman]

Nice DP protecting Lynns arm.

Yes I think he has been inquired on but tough start due to errors does not phase him. He get a lead and the bulldog in him sets in.
He did alot better in NY than Minnesota due to comeback from injury.

He was a smart pick up. Piece by piece

I gotta say the team has looked a lot better since gallo hit the DL.


It seems to have helped the whole lineup that we don’t have an automatic out in the middle. I know that’s not the real gallo, but he was an automatic out while he was in the lineup as damaged goods.
