No, not necessarily at the moment but they managed to beat the Rangers 14 games to 5, in a 19 game series this year.

Can we get rid of the ridiculous ghost runners in extra innings next year?

Please......not only is it not in line with traditional baseball, the Rangers are terrible it seems, at getting the one run in. Not to mention multiple runs which it usually takes to win those extra inning games

I like it.
Keeps the bullpen from getting maxed out. We definitely need it lol
I just want the Rangers to get better at executing it.

Apply that thought to all aspects of their game.

Why not just have a HR derby to decide the game if it is tied at the end of nine innings?

Yep he did and threw the game too.

 

[scotsman1948]

thinking Keuchel DFA created a 40 man spot. Will need another if we activate Eli White. @scotsman1948

okay we do have a roster open so no problem for Jung. who do we DFA to clear a spot for White?

Or, we could have any number of skills contests. Maybe see which outfielder could throw from a mark in the outfield and get closest to home plate.

Or, maybe they could borrow from some of the competitions they used to have on Farm and Ranch night. Maybe an egg tossing competition or a greased pig contest. I do miss them having Farm and Ranch nights.

Smart move would be a vet or Miller to 60 day but maybe this was Solak farewell. Maybe lifer Ibanez.

Do they have to call White up. He can’t hit. Where’s he going to play.

No but they have to roster him I believe after the rehab similar what happened with Duggar at San Fran
