Jim Bowden also mentioned Brandon Lowe as a surprise trade candidate. He can play the OF. Should we unite the Lowe brothers?

The Texas Rangers got hot and are now buyers. So which bats are options at the deadline?

After pulling itself back into playoff contention, Texas has been in conversations searching for some offensive help.

I hope they get Dunning or Urena up and ready to go. Lorenzen doesn't have it today.

Must be a honey do day.

well back to normal: last 3 innings the Rangers offense has faced 8, 6 & 9 pitches respectfully from Gausman. they have quit again

 

[saddles]

As a starting pitcher:

Bradford > Lorenzen
Bradford > Heaney
Bradford > Gray

Bradford > Gray

Yep. And also as a reliever:
Heaney > Dunning
Gray > Dunning
Lorenzen is probably > Dunning.

6 thru 9 in the batting order 0 for 12 so far today. Shouldn’t even think about buying.

Yes I am with you. Just futile waiting for this team to come around

6 thru 9 in the batting order 0 for 12 so far today. Shouldn’t even think about buying.

that would be the best argument to buy in some ways. but the whole lineup from 1 thru 9 has quit today. they made Gausman throw 53 pitches thru the 1st 3 innings and then quit. he has thrown a total of 29 pitches in the 4th thru 7th innings

This game got away early. Try to salvage a win tomorrow.

 

[DT LUNA]

The sweep of the Sox should have painted a picture concerning the rest of the year.

 

[saddles]

We are not playing the White Sox any longer, that's for sure.

Yep. The Blue Jays showing the Rangers, we are not the White Sox.

Nothing has changed in a month or so. 4 lousy hits today speaks very loud.

i know CY and Bochy won't do anything but i would make a statement. i would DFA/Release Knizner, Grossman, Ornelas and Taveras, bring up Duran, Harris, Huff and Crim and then bench Heim and Lowe, keep Jankowski and Foscue on the bench for the 1st 2-games against St Louis,

C - Huff
1b - Crim
2b - Semien
SS - Seager
3b - Smith
LF - Harris
CF - Langford
RF - Garcia
DH - Duran

Let's do it. Why not? Are you listening Botchy?

The team teased us for a week. Time to get rid of the spare parts. Lorenzen and Heaney bye bye. The awful bench that was created by CY and Bochy.
