Series Thread: Rangers vs. Blue Jays May 2 3 4 5

Play for a sweep or the series but don't accept anything short of a split

 

[True Rangers Fan]

I wonder how contentious this series will be. Obviously, those Molson-swilling syrup chuggers that call themselves fans will be in the stands looking for babies to pummel with beer cans, and I'm sure Bitchtista has been practicing his bat flipping skills in anticipation.

I imagine Odor will get the first message pitch.

I'm sure they've been preparing for this for the last year.

Fuck em', lets beat their asses. Hope Dyson buzzes Bautista a couple times

 

[Duane1952]

I hope somebody drills Bautista.

 

[RevSader]

I don't want Texas to do anything but win. The Blue Jays shit heads aren't worth the effort.

 

[Nightcrawler]

Bautista needs to get thrown at.... Preferably when we have a 10 run lead.

Hamilton may have to retire from baseball, but Im pretty sure his issue is going to be staying alive after baseball. I think he needs the support from his team and the sport, to keep him from giving in to the demons of addiction that have haunted him. Maybe he gets healthy at some point but it appears highly doubtful. Wish the guy the best but he needs to be ready for the time away from the game and get his mind right, so he doesnt relapse and go off the deep end

I would imagine JD will try to give him a job in the game of some kind to keep him from doing that.

That would be good of JD and the Rangers organization and it might just save his life. Don't want to be downer but if the guy fell back into the lifestyle he had while his career was derailed early, he might not make it.

 

[Nightcrawler]

It looks like the Rangers will see RA Dickhead in both series against the blue Jays. The guy has terrible stats, the Rangers must take advantage and get some runs off him.

Or maybe just maybe he acts like a responsible adult and uses some of the millions of dollars he got from Arte to seek out professional help? If he needs baseball to stay alive he's just swapping out one addiction for another and is for sure headed down a path to destruction. He should open a non profit for struggling addicts and put that money he and Katie swore was destined for good to some use.

Nah that would just be responsible behavior and makes sense, I couldn't expect that from Josh

Thank goodness Desmond has started to hit. When Choo returns and the way Mazara has played, the Texas outfield should be in great shape. They can rest players and the production should not suffer.

Hopefully Mazara either continues to play full time or goes back to AAA.

 

[Xx srs bsns xX]

Mazara, Desmond, Choo should be the outfield going forward. With DD being the 4th outfielder.

 

[True Rangers Fan]

He needs to go back to AAA. He's up here too early based on what their plan for him was, and he wouldn't play every day here. Or at least he shouldn't, once Choo is back. Outfield should be Rua/Desmond/Choo, with DDJ on the bench. My two cents, at least.

Throw in a couple of cents for me too.

 

[Kelleyman]

To plunk or not to plunk. I really don't care since it is ancient history but do think he needs a short leash. Winning cures most things

Rangers' Rougned Odor: Three hits in Sunday's loss
by RotoWire Staff | RotoWire


Rougned Odor went 3-for-5 with a run scored in Sunday's loss to the Angels.

He was also caught stealing for the first time this season. Odor is now slashing .283/.327/.457 on the season with three homers, 14 RBI, 16 runs scored and four steals, and as long as he remains in the leadoff spot for the Texas Rangers he should be able to maintain strong fantasy value.
