Series Thread: Rangers vs White Sox 8/4-6

I would have thought the Rangers would have kept this a secret.

Meant to say, I would have NOT kept this a secret.

Game is on FSSW now guys.

Is everyone working? Play ball

AJ to the Padres... that's going to hurt.

“I feel like the Rangers have given me an opportunity and stayed behind me, and I’m certainly grateful for that,” Lewis said. “This has been a journey. But this is home. This is where I want to be. I definitely want to come back here next year, and I’m hoping something can be worked out.”

After Lewis went two months of pitching without between-start bullpen session as a precaution, pitching coach Mike Maddux was finally able to get him on the mound for some prep work.

This may have been discussed already, so sorry if this is the case. But does it surprise y'all that we had no knowledge of Colby not being able to work between starts? I would have thought the Rangers would have kept this a secret.

They did, they only announced it AFTER he was finally able to do BP sessions between starts, it was never mentioned while he was held out of them

Wonder what JD does next. Replace from within? They were close. Hard to replace that.

I was taking a shower but I'm here now

Feels good to be able to watch games regularly again, minus one week of free MLB package preview (Yankees & Toronto series after the ASB) I wasn't able to watch much of anything Rangers related, limited to following on my phone

 

[DT LUNA]

Not really feeling good about Nick having a good day against this line up

JD seems to have always managed to put very competent men below him in the pecking order, I'm not concerned, though it sucks to lose Preller

 

[jta4437]

Nice pick off Tep, though on second glance Ramirez made it easy for you

Yeah I figured that part out. It just seems odd to me the team wouldn't have kept the media abreast of where Lewis was at to keep some of the criticism down.

I agree. And congratulations to Preller.

You always hate to lose a good man, but this is exactly what you hope for in assembling a fine FO....some turnover.

Forgot the game was on already.

I think they figured that Lewis doesn't give a rat's ass about criticism for something the team was perfectly aware of

Which makes you wonder what the hell was going on in that Angels game? Its the only real stinker in the last 8 for him

 

[jta4437]

Keep working the count guys, get that pitch count up early

Rosales! That thing carried a LONG way and Eaton DESTROYED himself against that wall

 

[Bmurph]

Holy wow eaton was lost, hope he's ok

 

[DT LUNA]

Holy cow Morales. Lots of lead in the old pencil

 

[jta4437]

Go ahead and take him out, his bell is rung pretty good

 

[donaldson79]

Way to go Rosales!

But man, did Eaton ram the wall or what?

 

[donaldson79]

Good move to take him out, even if he says he's OK. He probably isn't.
