Series Thread: Rangers Host the Astros for Four Games April 5-8

@saddles I think you nailed it on Cody Bradford. He looks like a stud. He may well be our second best pitcher behind Evo. He and Dunning are two of my favorite pitchers on this staff because while they don't have elite velocity but they are very crafty pitchers who can keep batters guessing. I'd rather move Heaney or Lorenzen to the pen.

I still would like to see Gray as a closer or setup man eventually. He was unhittable in the playoffs.

Bieber out for the remainder of the year. What a loss for Cleveland. He was pitching lights out.

Acquiring pitchers is an apparent risky business
Rangers have plenty on the shelf currently unusable

So maybe not giving a long term contract to Monty was the wisest nonmove for Rangers as mentioned

Especially since Bradford stock is on the rise

I hope he continues to do well. It is great to have a couple of young guys to depend on for a few years. Hopefully, Leiter and Porter will be even better.

Watch out for Dane Acker.

Carter starting to heat up. 2 doubles so far tonight.

 

[saddles]

I guess we are going to keeping running different pitchers out there until we find one who isn't effective.

Hold on to something, LeClerc is in.

Maybe it is an oblique instead of his arm. Not good, but not catastrophic.

 

[saddles]

Leiter with 3 good innings in a hitters park, so far.

 

[Duane1952]

If Sborz has to go on IL, who do you call up.

 

[Duane1952]

Win.

Wondering if Astros have had enough yet.
