Rangers try to Progress to .500 ball in Cleveland.

We just need to be patient and see how it all falls out. I am sure he was putting a lot of pressure on himself.

He did take a key walk.

 

[WastinSomeTime]

Unbelievable to think we have made it back to 1 game under 500 after so many blown saves by the BP and offensive struggles early on.

Let's just hope things continue.

Elvis was picking his nose the hole interview.

And Emily hi 5'd him ( same hand )

We have the pieces. Now to keep putting them together.

I didn't think they had much of a prayer the way Klein started. Offense scoring 40 runs in 4 games is nice.

That game was ugly..... Klein pulled a Detwiler. Luckily, The bats ( mainly Prince) were able to overcome it. The Indians lineup is a pain in the ass. They are real tough to stop in Cleveland. Glad we were able to snag one, getting 2 would be amazing tho. Has anyone else noticed JD's preference for tall, lanky pitchers who suck? The McCarthy / Detwiler trades have been a disaster.

Umm Mitch had a huge 2 run single with 2 outs. Just in case you missed.

Yes it was a good single. The walk by Hamilton was just as important because Mitch doesn't come up if Hamilton doesn't extend the inning.

Didn't give up much to acquire Detwiler, so to call it a disaster is overstating it, not to mention not many people had super high hopes he would right the rotation anyway, he was always seen as a 4-5 type to fill in the backend of the rotation

Plus EA had 3 RBIs. Had some good at bats.

He showed good patience laying off those pitches.

Ariel Jurado is on a roll for the Crawdads

6 IP, 2 H, 0 ER, 1BB, 6 SOs

 

[Justinkm83]

1. DDJ-CF
2. Choo-RF
3. Prince-DH
4. AB-3B
5. Hamilton-LF
6. MM-1B
7. EA- SS
8. Corp/Cheerio-C
9. Rua-2B

June potential lineup, Corp batting LH in the 8 spot, or flip/flop 8-9 if Chirinos is in the lineup

I love it, except I'd drop EA one more spot down and have Rua after MM.

If Rua can play an average 2b we may have something.

 

[Justinkm83]

If Rua can play an average 2b we may have something.

We add another bat with power. Fields has some power, but I like Rua much more. I've never seen him play 2B but trust his athleticism. He made a pretty seamless transition to LF last year, IMO.

 

[Justinkm83]

Can we also send Corporan to RR while we are at it.

Yes, and call up Telis, please. I've been calling for it for weeks.

 

[jta4437]

Corporan has been ok as a backup but I thought Telis should've gotten more of a fair shake in ST

Corpy as times has looked okay, but his overall record is awful. His first two ABs he made 2 outs on four pitches. I blocked out the rest of his day.

He did throw out Kipnis though and that was nice.
