Series Thread: Rangers Travel to Oakland for Four Games May 6-8

[DT LUNA]

We really need to win this one and it's not looking good.

Thought Taveras got a bad read on the ball to center. IMO should have made the catch.

I'm not able to see this game today. But I've thought for quite some time now that he's not our everyday CF, and not just due to his bat. Good speed, but doesn't get great breaks on balls. Decent arm, and that's it. His bat is what it is and this isn't a compliment.

Pretty much sums it up.

Lorenzen stinks today. Bochy should have took him out last inning.

I think he would have if we were not so banged up and in need for pitching.

 

[Kelleyman]

From this point, I guess one of Teodo, Acker and Stephan could be very close to a call up should anyone falter or get hurt.

What a mess.

All of them are rule 5 eligible
Can’t keep them all

So let's trade a BP guy. We have plenty of talented arms in the BP.

It depends on who else is eligible, but I am doing my best to keep those three.

 

[Kelleyman]

Our rotation over the next 11 days. Leaving one game in need of a 5th starter on May 12th.

Lorenzen
Gray
Heaney
Leiter

Although, not necessarily in that order.

I think Urena gets another start

Listening to game but Coke W has a tough last 2 outings. Yeah I wish they took our Lorenzon an inning earlier

Probably not facing Miller now ouch

— SportsHoopla was rule 5 eligible I believe
Minus the sports lol

 

[Kelleyman]

But I think he was worried about Leiter pitching

Heard his interview and he did not sugarcoat anything about Leiter

 

[Kelleyman]

here are some of the things that drove CY to get a RHB. Foscue and Wyatt and Jung out
Wendzel and Duran not burning it up
Wyatt not found his power stroke

Evan not doing well against LHP and obviously Rangers in win now mode with little patience to develop on MLB level

We are no longer in rebuild and prospects are more expendable

I have heard his splits are real good against LHP so if he is a DH or PH it may be fine

I am curious about Crim but not huge on Huff

Yeah there are surely many who blindly think every move is genius.

Bennie LOL you have a completely different audience on this board and on Twitter

Obviously my first reaction was they are foing to squeeze bats from Evan but guess I will wait and see

He wanted to save the BP for game 2.

 

[DT LUNA]

Not much pitching or hitting. Bad combination

Prospects who are position players I can live with but if CY is coming right out and saying we just traded a pitcher who is a prospect then that to me is inexcusable. Especially for Grossman.

You have my vote. inexcusable.

Night and day. A lot of cheerleaders on Twitter.

 

[DT LUNA]

Seager off again? What is going on?

 

[WastinSomeTime]

Another Joe Schmuck getting his 1st start against us and will probably shut us down.
