Series Thread: Rangers Travel to Minnesota for 4 Games August 19-22

[Kelleyman]

Vanasco may make some trade partner a pretty good pitcher some day.

Or maybe we keep him but why do you say? Is this CYs thought process or owner impatience?

 

[saddles]

Pitching seems to be coming around!

Unfortunately, he lost his control in the 5th so his numbers are worse now. We spoke too soon.

I think they will acquire pitchers to fill up the rotation with the exception of one or two spots. Those most likely go to guys ranked and rated higher than Ricky.

So, yes, I guess that is impatience to some degree. If he had had a tremendous season and was at Frisco now, I might think differently.

 

[saddles]

The Galloean curse.

 

[Kelleyman]

Seager muffs it. Otto gets rattled and now it is tied

Seager way too nonchalant

 

[DT LUNA]

Had heard a lot about Bubba for the last couple of years. Now I know why. Nice catch Bubba.

But not perfect after that bobble

Discussing Burke and potentially trying to start next season. No sure thing as he is so effective now the broadcasters say

Lot of decisions for Beas

 

[armadillooutlaw]

Glenn Otto continues to impress. Not always pretty but he's been very good as of late. Six of his last seven starts have been solid and that's with a pretty good walk problem. If he gets that under control could take another significant leap next year.

 

[Bmurph]

Semien that was absolutely pathetic

 

[Kelleyman]

Well they were taking first strike on Moore and they never chased his breaking stuff
He gets behind and gives up the 3 out RBI

Terrible pitch selection. Should have gone FB first pitch on the last batter

Liked his back up FB freezing the LHBs

 

[Bmurph]

Way to gidp after the error that let the run score and tie the game Semien. Bush league

Lol. I have never understood that reasoning.

 

[DT LUNA]

Lol. I have never understood that reasoning.

LOL we have never understood

 

[Kelleyman]

Hernandez looked very string that inning.
Handled his pitches well

 

[Kelleyman]

Lol. I have never understood that reasoning.

Did you hear the broadcast?

 

[saddles]

Did you hear the broadcast?

No, but I have heard that line of thought before, lots of times. Perez and Gray could probably be great 2 inning relievers too. Starting pitchers are just more valuable than relief pitchers, at least that kind of relief pitcher.
