Series Thread: Rangers Host the Dodgers For Three Games April 18-20

[saddles]

When Pederson said in his introductory press conference that the Astros had a nice little run, but it was time for it to end, he night has well been talking about himself.

From Evan Grant:

The Rangers scored 2 runs for Nathan Eovaldi today in his six innings of work. He's made 5 starts this season; the Rangers have scored 6 total runs while he was in the game.

This is hard watch with this offense. These guys swing at too many first pitch balls. Don’t see the patience. Smith is the only one that shows patience and should be leading off

Time to get a look at Crim

Without a doubt. Tavares is garbage

 

[fanman8825]

We need a couple of more Smiths

 

[DTLUNA]

We win on a WO

 

[fanman8825]

Gotta say Garcia has the flare for the dramatic

 

[Bmurph]

Nice work Josh and Dolis…

 

[fanman8825]

We win on a WO

Wow we needed this

 

[Senator_fan]

Wow we needed this

Yes. Finally.

Bochy is making a fool out of Pederson by keeping him in the line up. Garcia back to his old ways and Tavares shuoud have already been gone.

Garcia has hit the ball hard at times but right at people and I actually think that Tavares has done well overall for a change.

 

[saddles]

It is good to have Smith back. Now let's find a way to keep Dustin Harris playing when Langford comes back.

What a World Series we are going to have in about 6 months.

I think some of you are blowing off the good things he has done. Manufactured a run by bunting on and stealing 2nd and going to 3rd and scoring on a sac fly. In another Angels game made a nice catch and drove in 2 runs with a bases loaded double. Would I rather see Harris, Langford and Garcia in the OF? Yes. But he has done some good things.

I would be ok with him as the 4th outfielder. Your points are well taken and I remember the big double he hit against the Angels.
Ready to see someone else get an opportunity.
Not overly optimistic about Carter coming back. There is not a ton of options out there.

Twice during LLA series I said credit Leody. However, he has done a small percentage of outstanding play over several years and that is what some remember.

He also cost the Rangers one of the cubs games by not catching a pop fly. If you’re in MLB you catch that ball. And his batting pathetic.

He has had a moment here and there but not enough for the time he has been with the club.

I have always said he would be a good 4th OF on a really good team. I don't want him as a starter, though.


I do think they may need to add a piece at the deadline and they may have to shed Leody's salary to do so.

I was ready to replace his roster spot with Harris back in the offseason. I think had Carter been healthy, Leody would already be gone.

I don't see him as a waste of space though. I think he will have value to some teams when we get ready to trade him.

You are pretty much on line with my thoughts on him. Some when they get down on a guy overlook anytime he contributes. We are getting to a place if we stay healthy he won't be out there much.
DT, I did notice the times you posted in regards to when he did something well.
