Series Thread: Rangers Host The Rays September 17-19

Snell is a beast.

Agree. Speeds from 98 down to 80-82 and some in between.

 

[WastinSomeTime]

Are we rooting for the Rays to sneak in ahead of Oakland?

They are in the wrong league aren't they. Or if they were in the AL Central they would be tied for 1st.

Not sure why there was a double post.

The Rays sure seem to produce starting pitching.

personally I love him as a Ranger but I think he should retire now

Completely agree. He can only block younger future players.

Report: Rangers considering replacing Banister after 2018

Agree with scotsman and DT that it is time to play the kids. Either we are in a rebuild or not. Would like to retain Beltre as a coach though.
Surprised about the Banny thing even though I have never had feelings about him being the coach or not. Did not realize there were some issues with the players and him in regards to communication.

You know, I am not sure if Banny is a problem or not. I do know he is a whole lot better than the only other manager that JD has hired, so maybe we might be better off keeping him.

Not sure either. It does seem that politics come into play after rough season. Hate for that to be that but they do have a successor in the background.

The one thing that puzzles is pitching. Guys like Hamels and Chavez are lights out in ChiTown. Not sure you can put that on the coach. The way DDJ has not developed.

Hard to say

 

[DT LUNA]

The FO should not be calling the kettle black. They gave Banister very little to start the season and then the injuries piled on. Banister made his mistakes but who would have done better given the same conditions. Not making a decision yet but keeping him on or not, same results 2019 unless we spend big money on FA's and I doubt that happens. Looks like we wait and see once more.

Have to think if there's something to this, it's because of off the field issues, not on the field.

OK Guru, what does the crystal ball say?
