Series Thread: Rangers Host the Astros For Three Games August 5 -7

David Davalillo also gets a promotion to Hickory. He had a 1.79 ERA at Down East in 80 innings this year.

From Jeff Wilson:

#Rangers DFA Andrew Knizner to clear 40-man spot for Tyler Mahle. Walter Pennington optioned to clear spot on the 26-man roster.

That should have happened a long time ago.

 

[Duane1952]

i would just rather see what Harris, Crim and Fabian might bring to the team. we already know wgat Grossman and Taveras bring and it isn't much

The problem would be getting Bochy to play them.

 

[saddles]

All of a sudden, Hickory's lineup is very prospect-laden.

 

[saddles]

I don't pay for the pay wall stuff at ESPN, but apparently Kiley McDaniel of ESPN, just came out with a new MLB farm system ranking and ranked the Rangers at #29. Ouch.

Someone is terribly wrong about Grossman. Either me or Bochy. How do you vote?

You for sure.

Grossman batting .311 from the right side is acceptable for tonight’s game but having a guy with no power as DH is not acceptable and that’s on CY.

I like Duran at 1B tonight.

Watch Grossman HR tonight now that I said that.

Leody sitting today
I am thinking he is a platoon player

heard EG has a hard hitting article that I bet I may agree with.
I only subscribe to the Athletic for now

Until Carter returns 2025

Ask me in September DT
Obviously Robbie is not our future

Until Carter returns 2025

I just hope EC comes back healthy

 

[Senator_fan]

I don’t think Lowe makes that play at first like Duran did.

 

[Senator_fan]

That Valdez curve ball is wicked.

 

[Duane1952]

Sure seems like Garcia should have made a better effort on that fly ball.

I agree. He's just so terrible.

Mahle getting a typical welcome from his teammates. 4 innings, no offense of any kind by the Rangers. Valdez has thrown 41 pitches, no hitter looming

Perfect game looming.

 

[scotsman#1948]

mlb and espn are already alerting viewers about the developing no-hitter in Arlington. Valdez now at 5innings only threw 5 pitches in that inning.
15 outs and the Rangers have only managed 4 balls lightly hit to the outfield and none hit with any effort
