Series Thread: Red Sox invade new rotation Rangers 6/24-6/26

Because in order to do so, I believe we'd have to expose them to waivers.

Thanks....didn't know or think this.

And I guess there's also the fact of, "why change so much when everything is going so well?''

 

[donaldson79]

Dave if you would kindly shut the fuck up about him being the only guy not to miss a start, I would greatly appreciate it

Excellent....I sometimes think I'm the only one who these announcers make me crazy/crazier.

almost positive thats accurate, someone mentioned yesterday to send Bryan down and call up another reliever, but I don't think they can

This is accurate, all three are out of options, Holyday and Chirinos are the most versatile as far as playing other positions, all three are solid catchers if deployed properly

Holyday & Chrininos are pretty solid versus RHPs (and LHPs for that matter), but Chirinos and Wilson have been killing LHPs

Basically Holyday & Chirinos should split duties versus RHPs and Chirinos & Wilson versus LHPs

Watching a ball game, smoking ribs and tending a sick dog is nerve wrecking.

you're fucking strike zone is garbage blue

 

[Duane1952]

Blue that was terrible.

 

[romeo212000]

That pitch was 6" outside.

 

[donaldson79]

All this being said and true about our catchers. So when is it the Rangers have to make a decision about "somebody has got to go?"

Could we DFA Holaday and make a trade? I'm not necessarily suggesting this is the best option, I'm just wondering if this is a viable one for us to make.

 

[Bmurph]

not good there but the shitty strike call on a ball 8 inches off the plate couldnt have helped

It could be, but I'd just assume roll with these guys as is, and just use Chirinos and Holyday as IF/OF depth as well
