I've seen speculation it was ACL which if true he's gone for the rest of the year, solves one issue for the moment but not the long term...
sorry to hear that Condor was someone i expected good things from

What's the MLB record for total strikeouts in a 9 inning game? We're at 22 right now.

We start the season hitting and the pitching was meh, now it's just the opposite. First 20-30 games or so of season you never know what might happen after that it seems to settle down...

One thing is for sure all these injuries are throwing a monkey wrench into their plans for this year. This keeps up they'll end up having to keep players some of ya'll want to see go to new zipcodes for prospects...

Dunning has been the brightest spot of the young season this far. I sure hope we can have some of the other young pitching prospects stand out in AA & AAA this year. I would love to have a staff full of young pitchers next year.

I feel a lot better about our pitching after 10 games than I did going into the season, especially considering they are without several key members of the staff.

Should Gallo be bunting in these situations?
Not always. EXP: bottom of 9th 2 outs bases empty and behind 1 run. Gotta go for the HR imo.

Yeah, didn't mean all the time, but if that's how they're doing him in the early innings, I say bunt the fucker.

In most cases YES

Rangers batters are averaging 11.2 K's a game so far. The MLB single season team record is 1,595 K's, which is a 9.85 K/game pace.

Let's see how bad these bastards can be.

Guzman being carted off
Just watched the replay of that play Guzman should have called off IKF and made the easy catch, everything would have been fine... :tsk:

Hearing that Guzman caught his spike on the turf makes me wonder what the outcry will be when we have a star player do that on our home turf. The "we should have put in real grass" folks, will be quite vocal.

Likely to happen but we know many freak injuries have occurred on grass.

inexperience at OF.
Sad part was I never even seen Taveras over backing up the play and directing traffic, hopefully the coaching staff had a chat with all of them about communicating properly...
