Series Thread: Rangers play lowly Mariners in Seattle 7/22-7/24

[WastinSomeTime]

Even Andrus is having a tough time coming thru. Hitting just .203 for the month of July.

I can see your point. If there was a guarantee of a good return then I am really on board.

the only guarantee is that we will get a return. I read that one suggested Minor trade with Philadelphia would start with RHP Spence Howard, either Mickey Moniak OF or Adam Haseley OF + another piece (maybe Rudolfo Duron C)

Yankees, Braves may be best suitors for Minor

It would be nice to get a upper level top pitching prospect, but we have so many needs that we need to take the best offer available.

In order to help Minor decide to cooperate and not use his partial no trade clause, we night need to trade another player or two before approaching him.

 

[saddles]

If Minor gets through 5 innings in good shape I would go to the pen. Don't risk a bad outing or an injury by extending him beyond 5 innings.

If they plan on trading him but this may go down to the wire. They usually do. Think he has one more start this month.

Rougie back to being Rougie. Someone is happy

They shouldn't let it go that long. Trade him this weekend and be done with it.

Bad pitch Mike. Cant throw it there 3-2

 

[DT LUNA]

Mike needs this game bad.

 

[darrylgann]

Get out of this Minor

 

[Bmurph]

Not helping yourself there Minor

 

[darrylgann]

Mike Minor, playing to stay in Texas

 

[DT LUNA]

Not helping yourself there Minor

No problem. Roogie is back.

 

[darrylgann]

Some of this is not on Minor but not good for him anyway

 

[Duane1952]

Minor pitching like he doesn't want to be traded.

 

[saddles]

If Minor gets through 5 innings in good shape I would go to the pen. Don't risk a bad outing or an injury by extending him beyond 5 innings.

Maybe I should have suggested removing him after the 4th.

 

[DT LUNA]

No problem. Roogie is back.

See I told you.

 

[saddles]

Well, there goes his trade value.

Just get whatever you can for him.

 

[darrylgann]

Might as well. I’m not sure I’d want to extend him anyway

 

[DT LUNA]

Hate to see this.
