Rangers vs royals: royal beating thread

[romeo212000]

It's really sad that Lewis was supposed to be our ace. he's been crap three games straight.

Who said he was supposed to be our ace? He was our opening day starter due to his experience, and to avoid putting excess pressure on our young pitchers. Darvish is our ace with Holland being a close second. My guess is Colby goes away after this year.

OK, if that is the case I feel a little better. I thought him being the opening day starter meant that Wash had more faith in him than the others.

7 starts is a little early to proclaim anyone the ace, but Darvish is certainly speeding in that direction

but agreed that Lewis was the most experienced starter and therefore the opening day starter

Wow. Shut down by the royals... Who'da thunk it?

I guess I should've said IMO Darvish will be the ace by the end of the season. If by chance we are unable to resign josh I say go get Hamels. How does this rotation sound?

Hamels
Darvish
Holland
Feliz
Harrison

That said, I truly think they will resign josh and bring up Perez or Ramirez next year.

If we couldn't jump on Mazzano it was possible, KC has a good young bullpen

I guess the title of this thread should have been 'Royal Beating" instead of "Beating Royals"

Really depends on the progression of Ramirez and Perez, both have had their up and downs in AAA this year, though Perez looks better than last year

I've been very impressed with their bullpen.

Both are pitching in AAA this year right?

Joe looks very hittable in one outing and untouchable in another. I'm just tired of being uncertain when the closer comes in.

Never question Nathan, some posters will beat you about the head and neck for even thinking about it. Me and you will just have to question his ability in silance.

I've been saying since week one that Adams should be closing

I've defended him plenty and I think he's very very good, and quite capable in the closers position. I would just like a little more consistency.

In my opinion Colby is a number 3. We may need to consider a trade when the time comes if these starters continue to struggle. Darvish is the only starter I feel comfortable with in a playoff series as of right now. My gut says that Holland will come around and be fine

7 mil per is a lot to pay your setup man. I was glad to get Natgan, but thought they went too high on him.

Like that rotation but I rally want Josh back

 

[guitarmy21b]

Colby is our #5 just like he was last year, with some big game ability.

Yes and both have struggled

 

[1502tuley]

Wow, 7 runs scored, and only 2 of them were earned.
