the FO doesn't have a great track record in drafts recently, wasting the #1 pick would be peak Rangers right now.
I hear ya and thought that same thing when I posted it. Hopefully the changes we made in that area will be helpful.

Acquired Walker from M's. He was a better chance to be traded than Lynn and since we got him I assumed we wanted more pitching. Probably read it wrong.

the Blue Jays got Walker, not the Rangers.

Does not sound like we are trading Lynn if we are beefing up the rotation. Still wondering if we will ever see a big bat. Personally Gallo is not at this time a reliable power bat. BA .190 has to improve. He is the difference in obtaining the number of big bats we need. At one time he and one more would suffice. Now I don't know. We will need two if Joey doesn't come around.
IMO we need 2 big bats and Gallo. But I also realize that it is highly unlikely that we will even sign 1. It is more probable that we will run with what we’ve got picking up Chirinos and Frazier options and suffer through another lousy season

Have no problem with this or any game being postponed due to protest.

That's part of the reason I have hardly watched any except golf. Golf is much more relaxing at my age.

I don't like postponing the game but I can understand why and have no problem with it.

Yep two big bats would be nice. Not sold on Gallo at the way he is playing this year

I don’t either, I don’t care. I don’t think it is going to help a damn thing either. It is their thing to do......have at it. Cancel more games. Perhaps hockey will not. I like hockey.

Still say this would not be happening with all the stadiums full, as normal. Could be wrong, but somehow I rather doubt.

What a wonderful opportunity for them at this moment. Fuck ‘em

Good point re athlete protests happening in empty stadiums. I bet the owners might object to canceling if more money was on the line No big deal one way or another re protests but I get that we all need to treat everyone fairly and equally. That’s a God given right to be respected.

Maybe baseball another day. It’s a crazy year anyways

No game tonight but a very good time to shoot the breeze.
I'll try and start. What two players do you think are future Rangers? There may be more than two but list the two who stand out the most to you.
I think Solak and IKF.

I think you put Gallo between 2 big bats next season and we will see a change. the problem this season is he’s trying to carry the team and has gone backwards

I do. Enough is enough. Bad things are going to happen when people do stupid things especially when cops tell you to stop and you start reaching into your car

Very good point. If you think about it, even Elvis is off his game but nearly everyone is.
