Series Thread: Rangers Host the White Sox For Four Games July 22-25

[DT LUNA]

Our eventual pitching staff:

Starters

deGrom
Scherzer
Eovaldi
Mahle
Lorenzen


Relievers

Yates
Robertson
Bradford
Gray
Dunning
Heaney
Sborz
Urena

If we are buyers do we need relief pitchers. Sandler was saying we could trade for a couple of them, but that means we would also have to trade a starting pitcher to make room. Do we really want to do that and lose our depth? Even with those guys in place that I listed, we will have to trade Leclerc.

How long can deGrom and Scherzer be depended on? Injury and fatigue follow them both. Bradford should be a SP and Scherzer RP.

 

[WastinSomeTime]

Right but the point is no matter how good or"bad" the offense has been bad.

That's true. We could use a difference maker in the lineup at the trade deadline.
Garcia is always going to hit in the 250's. We really need him to step up.

 

[Jiddy]

Might as well be an F-150 running over an armadillo...

they are concerned about his back holding up and i agree. we will need him healthy next season so why rush him

or trade him as part of a package for Bellinger and stick Bellinger in his spot

He only threw 22 pitches and 17 of them were strikes.

Looks like Bradford will soon be able to join the rotation after a few more days of work@thescotsman1972

From Evan Drellich:

In bankruptcy court, a lawyer for Diamond Sports has asked the judge for a delay in its confirmation hearing, which was scheduled for five days from now.

 

[WastinSomeTime]

Didn't realize that DeLaCruz for the Reds has 18 HRs and 51 stolen bases. It was the HR total that surprised me.

Hope the judge denies it.
