Series Thread: Rangers Travel to Minnesota to Play Three Games With the Twins May 24-26

[saddles]

At this point I think we are all just looking for a pulse. This team is struggling really bad.

Urena and Lorenzen pitch in the first 2 games. I would imagine Shaun Anderson has a chance to start Sunday, but nothing is official. It would be fun to see Acker or Teodo get the call, but that most likely will not happen.

The injuries continue to mount. It is at the point where you almost expect to see someone else head to the DL every series. I think this season is even worse than the terrible 2014 season, in that respect.

Unless things change drastically, it appears we are headed in the direction of being sellers in 2 months and having a lottery pick in the 2025 draft.

Maybe, just maybe, we will look back at this weekend, at the end of this season and say, "that's where we turned things around."

I am not sure if it is a SportsHoopla problem or a Twitter problem.

From Scott Lucas' report on Round Rock last night:

SP Johnny Cueto: 5 IP, 8 H (1 HR), 4 R, 0 BB, 5 SO, 82 P / 54 S, 4.00 ERA
RP Brock Burke: 1 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 0 SO, 0.00 ERA
RP Antoine Kelly: 1 IP, 2 H, 1 R, 1 BB, 0 SO, 5.14 ERA

The Space Cowboys squared up against Johnny Cueto pretty well. The better news is Antoine Kelly is back in action after his fearful mid-at-bat exit last week.

Dustin Harris has played center field the past two days. While not the ideal situation, he's made progress on the grass. If he ends up hitting well enough to play in the Majors, his outfield defense won't be a limiting factor.

Good game so far. Corey warming up with a dingger. Now 2-2

Carter with a dead on throw to nail Vasquez at the plate.

 

[DT LUNA]

6th inning and only 4 hits and Grossman hits for Carter and pops up. Go figure.

Urena leaves the game apparently with an injury.

This keeps up, they will be calling up pitchers from AA.

Hard to believe.

I think that would be best, actually.

Acker or Teodo

Nice play by Brooks Robinsmith.
Time to score now.

 

[saddles]

I guess Shaun Anderson is still an option to start Sunday's game.

 

[DT LUNA]

7th inning......only 4 hits

 

[Senator_fan]

Out of all the players in MLB, MiLB and the Rangers own farm system they chose Grossman as their BEST option to add a needed right handed bat. Unreal.

The owners may be thinking the same

That’s 2 bad trades in the past 2 seasons.
