Bad cotts showed up tonight.

 

[BLeslie59Rangers]

Any bets we lose this game tonight? Our BP has imploded against the vaunted Astros offensive juggernaut.

 

[Nightcrawler]

Cotts is doing what he can to not be on the team next year.

Bad cotts showed up tonight.

don't give up on "your man" now.

He came back strong after those 2 hits.

 

[donaldson79]

Heavens....I say a good word about Frasor and Cotts. Then immediately they give up 4 straight hits between em.

But I'll still take their contributions over the past several seasons.

 

[BLeslie59Rangers]

We have got to lead the league in called K's...it is becoming an epidemic...

By past several do you mean one? Neither were with the rangers before last year.

 

[BLeslie59Rangers]

Just awful...

Magadan's approach isn't working. Time to do something about it.

 

[darrylgann]

Yeah, not feeling terribly confident about this game.

I'll rephrase.....last year and so far this year.

While I got ya, why are you so sure the guy in NY can't be a # 1 based on what he accomplished so far?

His stuff isn't that good. Nowhere near as good as Darvish. Hitters will adjust to him.

Really hard to argue with. This is his 2nd season and our approach seems to be all over the map.

 

[romeo212000]

Man, I really like Martinez.

I've honestly not seem him throw more than a few pitches. But the scouts seemed to agree he had # 2/3 material coming in. Everybody but the Yanks I guess. But so far he's wearing it out.

Certainly not worth 170 million.

Man, I really like Martinez.

I remember a about a month or so ago, I heard Eric Nadel talking about what a great kid he is and thinking he had the mental makeup to be a ST in the bigs for years to come.

This was right before his first start, and it seems it was about a month ago.

 

[romeo212000]

Another strikeout looking.

 

[donaldson79]

I was just looking at the DL list for us and we've got about $24 mil there.

If Harrison is as bad as it seems we've spent about $60 mil on him. I'll state it right here, when we signed him to his contract, I thought it was one hellva a deal for both parties, but especially the Rangers.
