Series Thread: Rangers have a sweet tooth and are hungry for some M's&M's - 8/17 - 8/19

Yep, Cherington is stepping down as GM, just 2 years removed from a World Series title. Dombrowski is generally regarded as one of the smartest traders around but subpar when it comes to signing free agents. Should be interesting to see how he fits in with Boston. Must be nice going from one franchise with bottomless pockets to another.

Dom let us turn Soria into Hamels.

I noticed when Andrus showed bunt that Seager charged and the SS went to cover 2nd and the entire left side of the IF was open. Worth a fake bunt and swing away for 1 strike. Too late now.

Mazara hits a bloop double in his first AAA at bat.

 

[saddles]

Technically his ERA was 6.00 after his first game

Correct. He had mentioned it was up around 8.00 after a few weeks so I had a longer term than after one game in mind. But you are correct it was higher than I said after his first game.

 

[WastinSomeTime]

I guess now is when we could use a Venable.

 

[Duane1952]

Get that run in.

 

[donaldson79]

Damn, EA taking off - which I liked - almost bit us in the butt.

Now selection job there Odor.

 

[romeo212000]

Well done, bobby.

 

[romeo212000]

Very true.

 

[donaldson79]

For a backup to the backup catcher, this guy is more than doing his part.

 

[Duane1952]

That will work.

 

[romeo212000]

Odor with the slump busting game last night has kept it rolling tonight.

Him and Gimmy both.

He also extended Cabrera 2 years before it was necessary. Cabrera has a new 8-year deal worth $240 Million which doesn't start until next season. Ouch.

 

[romeo212000]

Why would odor be going there? Not a big difference I guess. Ryan was unlikely to get through that at bat.

Not to mention the verlander deal.

 

[Bmurph]

Maybe they see Venable as a backup CF since Martin is out w the broken hand, not sure why else that move was made?

I just knew it was bad bc I was at that game, didn't realize he still managed a CG

 

[WastinSomeTime]

Based on what Buzz and Tag said Odor should not be trying to steal. Make Iwakuma throw pitches and if Straus makes the last out then the top of the order leads off next inning. Oh well. Hope that is it for Iwakuma.
