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

as DDJ swings at ball 4 with the bases load and it's up to Mathis.......we are screwed

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

He’s been a Mendoza nearly all season long

If I was a GM. I think I'd rather trade for Lynn.

Odor looked very focused

Think he was a bit red-assed about that last AB where he smashed a pitch but right at the first baseman and got nothing for it

Roogie can’t win for losing

That was quite a shot by Willie off the LHP

 

[Kelleyman]

Always wondering what version of LeClerc you are going to get. Definite nasty stuff when working

MLB Pipeline has their new Top 30 Rangers Prospects list out. Jung, Huff, Crouse, Winn, Taveras, Palumbo, Burke. Thompson, Wendzel, and Apostle make up our top 10. Lots of changes.

Overall our top 3 guys are 60, 79, and 83.

Back in Texas guys, unfortunately we went 6-12 while I was gone... but always nice to take 2 from the a's

Journey was new Orleans, nashville, Chicago, Asheville, Charleston, Savannah, Atlanta (Braves game), and vicksburg

I know overall our MILB not rated well at all but injuries have to be a factor. Solak looks like a top 10 at first glance

Jamey Newberg thinks the International signing we are supposed to be waiting to formally announce will fit somewhere in the top 10 as well.

Thanks I did look at the lists for a second and they listed this guy #3 among international prospects. #1 was a guy Yanks to get compared to Trout/Mantle

Also saw Solak just out of top 10 for Rangers. Had wondered if list prepared prior to trade.

Any of you guys headed to the Ballpark the rest of this year? I have tix to Angel game next month. Probably grabbing tix to Friday night game with wife. Also likely a Sunday game with family and that's probably it.

Had some season ticket packages in past but buddy moved and son in law only could hack it one season. They've jacked up prices and getting older so have become more an armchair fan and Ranger SportsHoopla junkie.
Thanks for your participation. We have different viewpoints and slants but this is what makes the world go around.

Hope we are all here when Rangers win WS to celebrate together
Of course I hope it is under JD regime. Haha

Crouse and Phillips have had pretty good games lately.

Crouse is having to cut back on uzing his slider, so he is being forced to work on his change up more. Maybe that benefits him in the long run.

Wendzel at 9 shows the subjectivity. Like Alvarez for Astros was ranked low IMO. He is a beast unfortunately

Hoping to make it out to Frisco. Read Phillips is working on slider
