Series Thread: Rangers Host Tampa Bay Ray for Three Games July 17-19

Leody with the solo HR.

I knew it would work. Lol

 

[saddles]

I still would like to see us sign our #11, #19, and #20. Hopefully, at least one of those.

Keep it up, man!

Gray out. Took a 112 mph liner off his leg

 

[saddles]

If the Rangers trade for 2 starters and move both Lerez and Heaney to the pen and Speas does well in the pen, then who of the relievers below, is shown the door if they trade for a relief pitcher?

Chapman
Smith
Speas
Bradford
Burke
Anderson
Perez
Heaney

It seems to me that they will only trade for one starter and one reliever. If they need to replace both Martin and Heaney then Bradford seems to be the obvious choice to replace one of them.

Good job Burke in the 5th.

Sorry like Bradford but I think they bring in2 starters and 2 relievers and Bradford goes down to AAA.

Hopefully Gray doesn't miss much time.

Good job Burke in the 5th.

He's been very good lately.
Right now he's the guy in the bullpen I trust the most after Smith and Chapman.

They could very well do that for depth purposes, but unless both of those relievers are closer material then I don't think the second best guy gives us any upgrade over Bradford. Depth-wise I can see it though. I just don't think it improves our pen.

And, I think Bochy really likes having Bradford being able to make scheduled spot starts.

 

[saddles]

Welcome to the hot seat Mr. Speas.

 

[scotsman1948]

Speaks coming in. 1out man on 1st

 

[saddles]

Alright guys, score some runs. As in 3 or 4 of them.
