Series Thread: Rangers welcome YU back vs the Pirates this weekend!

Bad news. Banny said that Prince has been a good hitter in the past and we are going to stick with him.

Prince is considerably worse than MY was when Wash was sticking w him until the bitter end. Prince is getting paid a ton more so I guess it can be expected, but it doesnt appear it will end much different

The rest of the series may go pretty much the same for the offense, though I hope Darvish will have a decent showing for himself

More of the same Prince and MM tomorrow as Nicasio is on the mound. With a RH pitcher Banister will put MM and Prince in the lineup.

See no wisdom in that. Look what started happening to him the 2nd half of the year and to be honest I am not sure I have ever seen a player have so many bloop hits as he did last year.

 

[Kelleyman]

Well Banny is obviously loyal to a fault esp to high priced bets which makes his sticking with Mitch without even a 2 day rest a head scratcher. But finally he did pull the plug on Tolley. He is slow in seeing the light vs most on this site. I am hoping we send Jacson down and let Gallo start a day yet that seems unrealistic with this mgr

Mitch left 5 men on base. Tough times for Mitch. No QO no reason for loyalty. Need to play to prove individual loyalty. Happy Memorial Day weekend. Thanks to those who serve and those who did

Not to mention blew a DP in what turned into a big inning.

Got some unexpected help from the twinkies at least.

No way I thought the Twins would win that game considering the pitching matchups.

Nice. Within stoking distance and Yu back. 1:26 comment true to your name. Ha

I'll take strikeouts over GIDPs any day of the week, myself.

I guess when our ace tanks, it's a silver lining that theirs did too.

May, 2016, Texas Rangers hitting stats

For the month of May, Ian Desmond has 5 more hits than Prince and Mitch combined.

Thoughts on a 9-1 Rangers loss

Gist of the article: last night sucked, and why in the hell is Gallo in Arlington?

The Gallo move is definitely puzzling.

The Gallo move is definitely puzzling.

There are a few things that have been puzzling this year.

 

[WastinSomeTime]

I was looking at Pittsburgh's lineup and noticed Hurdle likes to use youth or those who still play young.

Banny hasn't learned that yet.

To make room Darvish, the Rangers send Gallo to Round Rock.

Rangers' Joey Gallo: Optioned to Triple-A
by RotoWire Staff | RotoWire
Gallo was optioned to Triple-A Round Rock on Saturday.

With Yu Darvish returning from the disabled list Saturday, the Rangers cleared a roster spot by optioning Gallo back to the minors. The highly-touted prospect's short stint with the Rangers was an uneventful one as he did not make a single start while he was up with the big league club. He'll head back down to Round Rock, where he's slashing .265/.415/.639 with eight home runs through 83 at-bats.
