Series Thread: Rangers hosting and then traveling to play the LA Dodgers

Are we tucking our tails for this game? Moreland can hang in there against LHers. Do not mind giving one of them the night off but both? Is Popovich coaching tonight?

I'd really love to hear Banny's explanation. I'm sure he's got some reasoning.

I'm just enjoying the ride right now. It's fun watching these youngsters we've talked so much about turn into legit big leaguers right in front of our eyes. I'm all for improving the pen as long as we're not giving up any big guns, and I'm okay with not trading starting pitching like Gallardo and Wandy in the hopes that Perez/Holland/Harrison will step right in without missing a beat, or just trading them for the sake of acquiring a prospect or two. I'm very much in favor of trying to dump Choo on a contending team.

Choo needs to get hot again, he's been waddling around the .240 mark for a while now

Ha. Thought of that when I saw this. Glad we won the two here. May not stick with this game long.

@Sullivan_Ranger: Kyle Blanks scratched with Achilles tendinitis.... Prince Fielder playing first base

That's nice....

And for tomorrow:

@RangerBlake: Ranaudo spot start not injury related. Will provide rest of rotation with extra day of rest.

Looks like they won the first 2 and said to hell with the last 2. Dodgers did us no favors by scheduling the second game late.

Un-freaking believable

• Badler also provides a preview of the best prospects coming up on the July 2 market out of Venezuela. The Rockies are “strong favorites” to sign outfielder Daniel Montano, who is expected to receive the largest bonus from the country (perhaps over $2MM). And the Rangers appear to have the inside track on another well-regarded outfielder, Miguel Aparicio, at a lower price tag.

It's because they didn't want Colby to hit.

Come on Blanks. Guess some of those plays he made in the OF did him in.

 

[WastinSomeTime]

With Kendrick pitching for the Rockies tonight Houston should have an easy win.

 

[Justinkm83]

I wish George Springer would cool off already.

He has given up the most HR's in the majors (17).

Maybe he'll pull a Phillip Humber out of his ass and pitch a perfect game.

 

[darrylgann]

Come on Blanks. Guess some of those plays he made in the OF did him in.

May be out for awhile, Wastin:

@RangerBlake: Kyle Blanks scratched with Achilles tendinitis in both left and right tendons. Prince Fielder will play 1st and bat 4th.

 

[Justinkm83]

Maybe he'll pull a Phillip Humber out of his ass and pitch a perfect game.

It's 3-0. Correa hit a 2-run HR in the 1st.

Or not....... Not.

 

[saddles]

those are your words Sir...certainly not mine. I just think you play for the moment when you're in contention and not trade away pieces for future seasons. AS a long time ranger fan, you should know that those next years have a habit of not panning out

I think that is where we are disagreeing . You seem to think that you can't look past this year because the next years don't pan out. I think they have panned out and that you can look to next year. We just seem to have an honest disagreement. No problem with that.
