Series Thread: Rangers Play Three Games in San Diego July 28-30

[Hambombs]

Have we gotten away from it? Scherzer will be here next year good Chance Montgomery will be resigned we lose Perez and probably Heaney so our starting rotation should be better with Eovaldi, Scherzer, Montgomery, Dunning & Gray and maybe deGrom.

And the losses have been minor for what we’ve added

Is eovaldi here next season too?could have sworn it was a 1 year deal

Swept by the Padres. Now lost 6 of 8. But sure, let's pretend we are WS contenders this year and trade more prospects away for over the hill has been pitchers and another starter that is 6-9 and trending down. Makes sense.

We have the 11th best record in the AL since June 7. DeGrom day. Why CY? Why? What would it hurt to keep your powder dry? Plan for a prosperous future.

Injuries, poor performance, bad bullpen management all happening now.

The Rangers have no chance to win a ring this season.

This is not hard to see.

They went from +2000 to +400 to
Make the World Series, nice troll job lol

From mlbtraderumors.com:

Several teams have been tied to the nine-time All-Star, including the Rangers, Astros and Dodgers. However, Andy Martino of SNY reports that the Mets value Verlander much differently than Scherzer. They’ve placed a higher asking price in terms of prospects and aren’t willing to pay down salary to the same extent they were in order to move Scherzer.

Talk about a lost cause.

He signed a 2 year 34M contract so he gets 17M next year and there’s a vested option for 2025

I'm still not convinced Eovaldi isn't going to have to have TJ. Hopefully, not.

Don't remember so much hard luck in a pitching rotation.

In the playoffs starters go much deeper in the game. I like what the Rangers have done and still think they have as good a chance as the Rays, O’s, Asstros to win the AL.

Late but 45 hours

 

[BULLPEN FAILURE]

Huff looks total overwhelmed

I've never seen a game where he didn't

 

[BULLPEN FAILURE]

Need bats too......if you're gonna go for it then go for it

I hope you’re wrong but if they go after another starter you are probably right

Hard to win games when you only score 5 runs total in 3 games

 

[scotsman1948]

Have to agree there is any bats worth going after

We need Seager back on Tuesday and hope Heim comes back

We need Seager back on Tuesday and hope Heim comes back

That will change things for the good

Huff looking like he just cant figure it out against big league pitchers

That's why I ignore some of the stats of those in the minors and compare them to the stats to those in the majors. Very seldom does it translate.

 

[WastinSomeTime]

Need bat

The hitters also need patience and common sense. If a pitcher is wild and has walked 2 guys and you are up 2-0 in the count you need to take the first strike before swinging and in the case of Jung the other day swinging at ball 3 and eventually striking out. Jung is a rookie and he is learning but you learn those things in little league.
