Series Thread: Rangers Host the Marlins for Three Games August 4-6

[Sir Robin Of Camelot]

Hate this. There will be no replacing what he has done. ROY for sure.

Only thing I worry about is how this impacts the ROY vote. A lot can happen in the next 8 weeks.

 

[saddles]

Hopefully, Jung gets back soon.

The lineup needs him and he needs enough plate appearances to win ROY.

Apparently, from an article I read, there is not a minimum Plate Appearances requirement for ROY. So that is still very much in play.

 

[Kelleyman]

They can make a quick move as they are going out of town but wait on consult to see how they make a longer term replacement

Keep thinking we got Zeke who can do it
Why not improve is in LF?

 

[saddles]

Now, if they want Smith and Duran to keep 3B covered and need a DH, there is no one better than Blaine Crim to call up.

 

[saddles]

When is the last time we had someone break a bone inside of their glove?

It was a 107-109 linedrive he barely had time to get his glove up

 

[Kelleyman]

Guess have to keep an eye out for players in Round Rock and Frisco not in the lineup as possible replacements

Lol but what about Garver? Does Huff get some ABs now?

Hard to believe.

Mariners win again.

Not worried about them. More concerned about our injuries. If we lose anymore we can't beat anybody

If our pitching holds up that would go a long way. We also need Duran from the 1st half of the season to show back up. Pulling for him and Taveras and Smith. I think Lowe and Simeon are righting themselves as well.

Great job by Heaney today. But those injuries are getting ridiculous. Losing Jung is just a killer unless Duran really steps it up.

66-46. 50 games left what do we need do the rest of the way?

Good question I think we have to play better then 500 ball but 30 wins is optimistic. Guess keeping our team Healthy is huge.

Well 25-25 would have us at 91-71. Personally anything less than 30-20 might leave us on the outside looking in

 

[Kelleyman]

Well he is versatile. Ok bat and can play multiple positions
Maybe Josh Smith gets more playing time

The math says otherwise. Currently, the 1st team out of the playoffs is the Mariners. They are 6 games behind us.

If we went 29-21 (less than 30-20), the Mariners would have to go 35-15 just to TIE us. They’re not playing .700 ball over the final 50 games. No team in all of MLB has that record.

I think it will take 93 or 94 wins to take the division and get a bye in the playoffs. That would be winning 27 or 28 games the rest of the way. That will be really tough to do with so many injuries.
