Rangers visit the city of Brotherly Love for two: TEX @ PHI 5/3-4

[DT LUNA]

Personally I want Heim in the lineup every day.

When a guy is hot like Heim and Lowe, leave well enough alone. These two have been nice surprise.

Lowe is 2 for his last 24.

Lowe is 2 for his last 24.

He is still Offensive leader and needs to stay in the line up.

Not saying he shouldn't be in the lineup, but he is anything but "hot" right now.

When Lowe goes 4 for 4 tonight, he can thank me.

 

[Kelleyman]

Guys like Reks and now Bubba have run out of time unless you roster Bubba

I would bring him up sooner maybe at the break and let him play CF if he looks ready. Going to have to roster him though
Otherwise we may just lose him which may be ok but to me his speed is in low supply with us

Where is Heim? Kole in the 5 hole?

Jonah will be one of the 14 PH Woody uses throughout the game.

he's got Lowe leading off, I assume to get him out of the slump he's in. And if it works, then Lowe will go back to hitting 4th or 5th, because apparently slumps are really easy to trick like that.

Woody is becoming a candidate for DFA

I think it was Jack McKeon who once said that managers directly affect the outcome of about 10 games a year.

I've always considered Woody to be as boilerplate/vanilla as you can get with a manager. But his lineup methodology continues to be completely bonkers.

I don't mind Lowe at LO. I like Garcia at cleanup. But find them a spot and KEEP THEM THERE.

K Calhoun at 5th is ignorant.

Can't agree more. Calhoun should not be in the line up period.

 

[DT LUNA]

In my opinion, Woody should be easing players like Calhoun and others out as soon as feasible making room for our MILB guys. These players who have no future with the team are hindering the observation of those who will someday be our future. Not all are ready to come up but those who are need to be here soon.

I'd really like to jettison Calhoun and I don't really see a need for Culberson, his role is largely filled by Ibanez or Miller, he's solid defensively but doesn't do much otherwise

Solak, White, Reks and Miller all on short leashes at this point

 

[Kelleyman]

To make an impact on our club as a starter, players really need to be blowing it out in AAA at this point. Our roster spots on the 49 are too precious for now

We have fodder on the forty. @jta4437 just mentioned some expendable guys in the post above yours.

Ibanez?

and yet we have at least 10 on the 40 that won't be there next season
