Rangers vs O's

[DT LUNA]

So what does everyone think JD should or can do with this years trade deadline approaching?

Starting pitchers primary need and power hitter secondary.

 

[WastinSomeTime]

Nice sacrifice Profar.

 

[bennie]

I don't think so. One good starter like garza should be enough.

Darvish, holland, garza, ogando, Perez.

One rookie in the rotation is fine. If Colby can progress to being ready in August he'll give us depth if someone goes down.

We need someone to get Murphy out of LF. Let the dh be a spot to rest veterans and get young guys AB's.

That is the most positive I have heard you regarding Colby.

I think we are going to need a strong DH as well to make it in the postseason.

We might even need another bullpen piece the way some of the guys have been used.

 

[Bmurph]

Would the Royals send us Ervin Santana for a prospect, he's a rental but could help and may not cost much. He also has pitched better this season. He looked great in the game vs Darvish in BpiA

Seems like Profar is always looking for a different pitch than what he gets.

 

[Bmurph]

Just wtf are you swinging at David, geez

 

[WastinSomeTime]

Come on Leonys.

Frasor suddenly turning into an effective and reliable reliever, and Soria coming aboard acts like a deadline acquisition.

As for Colby, reports are a lot more promising. I said from the start that if we get Colby back it won't be till August at best. Point is, we're not counting on him to save the rotation. Just that he could provide depth.

Said that twice that at bat.

 

[WastinSomeTime]

Man he has taken a lot of good pitches tonight.

That would really look strange seeing him pitching against CJ.

 

[Bmurph]

There may have only been on strike thrown in that AB

Santana is one of those guys that you honestly wonder if he'll ever put it all together. Era looks good at 2.90, though he is outperforming his FIP by a full run and xFIP by .6. WHIP looks nice at 1.05.

 

[RevSader]

Why was Profar playing shifted so far over?

 

[romeo212000]

Why was Profar playing shifted so far over?

You'll have to ask wash to find out. I'm sure he wasn't all the way over there on his own.

 

[RevSader]

That was beautiful.

 

[WastinSomeTime]

Nice DP since Wolf was getting squeezed there.

 

[skilledwolf]

I think they always shift like that against Wieters.

 

[RevSader]

Attaboy Ross. You are doing your job. Offense needs to back you up.

What if Ross' and Scheppers' second halfs look a lot like Uehara's second half the first year we had him due to overwork in the first half?
