Series Thread: Rangers Host the Twins for Three Games September 1-3

[jaar01]

We may currently have the worst outfield in baseball offensively. That's a big reason the offense has been circling the drain the last month or so.

FYI: game is on FOX 4 in DFW 6:00 pm

People are still wanting to move Jung to 1B. Lol

He is turning into an excellent third-baseman.

 

[Kelleyman]

So beyond time to do a roll call more than what Marcus did but especially for the pen.

They look to me to have the anti swagger. Who is going to step up and say I will get the job done?
No more hem hawing, stop the excuses just give me the ball.
Funny after LeClercs save if was like what am I doing out here?
I know Smith really does not have the stuff but who can get it done and wants 5he ball. Sure does not seem like it is Sborz who it should be.

The pen needs a gut check and needs to get their attitude and confidence in check.
I think it is an infection that hurts the offense

Business as usual is not working

And we really no options right now. We need to bring in Bellinger during free agency and Carter prior to opening day 2024

 

[Sir Robin Of Camelot]

wasn't it a few weeks ago that people on here were complaining about Garver being in the lineup

Yep… more than a few as I recall.

Personally I wouldn’t be surprised to see the Rangers re-sign him this offseason

A very good back up catcher.

A very good back up catcher.

Which would make Sam Huff expendable

Well… it’s no secret we need pitching.

 

[scotsman1948]

Well… it’s no secret we need pitching.

We need relief pitching really bad for 2024. Wouldn’t be surprised to see them sign a frontline closer and at least 5 or 6 top free agent relievers. We don’t have any good relievers and converting starters doesn’t work most of the time

Don't tell Stratten.

He has been expendable for 2 or 3 years now.

I would be shocked if they did that. It would be more surprising to me than them going after 2 high cost SS a couple of years ago.

 

[scotsman1948]

Don't tell Stratten.

He’s one of the 5 or 6 relievers on my list. He’s a free agent at the end of the season

 

[scotsman1948]

He has been expendable for 2 or 3 years now.

Only if we re-sign Garver

Well if we don’t, expect another year like this one

Since the ASB, there are 156 MLB players with at least 150 PAs. In that time, Leody Taveras ranks 155th in wOBA. His spot in order has essentially been empty the entire second half

Ouch - what a crash so this I get the JPM cry out. But make no mistake they are placeholders for Evan Carter

There are several on Twitter who have thought Taveras would push Carter to LF. Lol
