Series Thread: Rangers Host the White Sox for Three Games August 1-3

[Sir Robin Of Camelot]

Dane Dunning has no intention of returning to the bullpen.

Great job, Dane!!!

Damn damn foul ball until it barely touched the foul pole

 

[saddles]

Dane is back in the top 10 in ERA.

Dane is back in the top 10 in ERA.

And we once thought he was a relief pitcher.

Yeah, I don't think that's even a possibility at this point. With everybody healthy, he's probably still the #2 starter, maybe #3 if Scherzer regains form. Dude is a stud.

 

[WilltheThrill]

I’d say the rotation is pretty well set once healthy (in no particular order):

Eovaldi
Scherzer
Dunning
Montgomery
Gray (unless he continues to struggle and Heaney goes on a tear)

Hedges can fucking frame

Sounds about right. Also wonder how soon we'll start seeing guys like Heaney/Perez transition to the pen.

Not a bad debut for Stratton tonight.

Well, management did. They thought this other guy was too.

11 innings with 1 earned run given up with KC.
The Royals jumped at the opportunity to get Ragans and thought they wouldn’t get a better offer I bet.

That thought should never have occurred. He has done well in both roles but overall he has been one of our better starters.

Not sure how management was so blind how they handled Ragans. From the very beginning I thought he should keep starting at AAA. As a reliever he failed miserably. As a starter he did very well in spring training and when he was sent down.

Just be glad he’s pitching for a bad team who won’t be good for a long time.

 

[WastinSomeTime]

Candelario is 8 for 9 since joining the Cubs. They have destroyed the Reds in both of their games.

Maybe we can sign him as a free agent toward the end of the decade.
