Series Thread: Rangers to prey on Twins at Target Field

I wouldn't want to give up more than we did for Hamels to get Sale

Sale's arm action, plus his body make up, concerns me a lot as far as a long term option is concerned.

And Banny has him on the bench today. He should be playing first and Mitch should be sitting.

Mitch has been pretty decent against RHP while Rua has not.

Love to see him pitch in the Cub series

Cubs having their own struggles. Lost the last three and the Mets beat up on them early today.

Mets hang 7 on Lester and the Cubs in the 2nd and are up 8-1 with the bases still loaded. Other good teams shit the bed sometimes too

 

[PhantomWarrior]

Wonder why a guy like Roth who is doing much better than Martinez and Chi Chi does not get called up to pitch but they do. I can understand Nick but not Chi Chi and Roth would have fit rather well with his pitching schedule to when Chi Chi was pitching.

Until today Roth was not on the 40 man roster.

Mitch scratched w calf tightness

 

[Bmurph]

CHOOOOO!

 

[DT LUNA]

Choo bomb

 

[romeo212000]

Choo is a bad ass. I don't really wanna trade him for salary purposes.

 

[Bmurph]

Profar taking MM spot and playing 1st base

 

[Bmurph]

Rangers' Ryan Rua: Breaks out of slump with two-hit effort Saturday
by RotoWire Staff | RotoWire
Rua went 2-for-4 with a solo homer and two runs in Saturday's 17-5 loss to the Twins.

He was one of the few bright spots for the Rangersin the blowout defeat, although his fourth-inning homer did come when Texas was on the wrong end of an 11-1 deficit. Regardless, it was a positive development for Rua, who'd gone 1-for-14 over the last seven games in which he'd recorded at least one at-bat. The 26-year-old is now slashing .284/.363/.486 on the season.

Hard to break out of a slump or even start one when you don't get enough play time.

thats same spot

 

[romeo212000]

Umpires are getting so shitty.

 

[Bmurph]

Crap

 

[romeo212000]

Beltre had to swing at that because of that bullshit first called strike.

 

[Bmurph]

[romeo212000]

Honestly, can we please pull our heads out of our asses about not using available technology to actually get fucking calls right?
