Series Thread: Rangers Host the Athletics For Four Games August 15-18

I think a good thing he has going for him is that he is well spoken. I would have probably mentioned that, myself.

Ok sorry. Not so much directed against you but for this particular situation re Woody dismissal I thought JD there WS no big deal

Honestly I hope to hear CY beat the podium most of the time and JD can live in the shadows

Personally, who the public face is should be near the bottom of the list of priorities, in my opinion. They could run the Crawler out there to yammer on about Odor and Banny if they wanted. Or no one at all. I want to see results on the field and progress for the organization. I like what I'm seeing so far of the Chris Young era.

Results definitely trump the Yammer lol. Right on

Eventually that will happen, but I think it is taking longer than most thought it would.

corey got hosed

that called 3rd strike was 4-6 inches outsude

 

[scotsman1948]

He may still suck but he could have pouted and taken his ball and went home but he has stuck it out.

he is a waste of Ranger air. his AAA numbers are awful

 

[scotsman1948]

I hope they treat these last forty-something games as a legitimate evaluation of him.

agreed

No, I know it is nothing personal.

I don't believe I ever said or implied back then that CY would not have responsibilities by now. I did think it would take some time. Back then, I am not sure I even considered when the frontman situation would change. I just remember there were some who disagreed about how much control JD would ever relinquish.

I am just glad a mgr move is being made and I hope they get it right or got it right
It has been some sloppy ball. This needs to be an emphasis going forward and next spring training

 

[Kelleyman]

Nice pic. Hope it works out for all

 

[Duane1952]

I would be okay with him as well.

I would be ok with him as long as Calhoun isn’t here.

Bruce Bochy managed Chris Young in San Diego so there’s a connection there. He may get nabbed by the Angels though and that’s if he decides to get back into managing.

Alexy starts for Round Rock tonight. That is surprising. He has been a long reliever for quite awhile now.

Clears another roster spot and maybe another end of season with Kohei
IF. Mark gets and audition. Methinks Josh will be sent down soon. Jung is coming up within a week I bet depending upon schedule

I also think Josh will be going down. Not enough room. He has little power also.

shame to see Josh go down. has one of the highest OBP's on the team.
