Series Thread: Reeling Rangers to turns things around against champ Royals 7/22-7/24

It sounds like they aren't just after Sale but Sale and Quintana. Now I said "sounds like". Sale's K rate is down to 8.7. Wow! Down to 8.7.

Could Beltre have something to do with it?

I was thinking more from a Darvish standpoint. But you bring up another guy who's not going to be around for much longer. Certainly not playing at an excellent level.

There is a team option in 2018 for 12.5 mill and in 2019 for 13.5 mill. So if he holds his end of the bargain as he has been doing we have him until 2020.

I didn't realize this.....so never mind. ha ha ha

It certainly wouldn't surprise me to see us make a multi-player, multi-team deal.

If this is true that's a bargain if he stays healthy. Qurstion is, what kind of package are we looking at?

Gallo, Brinson, Tate for starters I would imagine. I'm sure they'd ask for Profar, but is there a way to do the deal without him?

The Rangers pitching did better against the Cubs on the road than they did the Twins at home. I don't think you can point to a trend at this point. They're gonna do how they do.

The Angels have scored more runs in July than anybody..... Any team in baseball. Granted our pitching sucked and it's the reason we got swept, but I still think there is an element of bad luck and running into teams at the worst possible time involved in this.

That would be the definition of a black buster deal.

Not the start we wanted

 

[romeo212000]

We've been called for interference for less.

Too hot to issue 4 pitch walks.

 

[darrylgann]

Oh boy!

 

[darrylgann]

Watch the pitch count, Yu!

 

[DT LUNA]

My wife ask me, why do we always play catch up?

 

[DT LUNA]

Crawler your scouting report is not holding up.

 

[darrylgann]

Great offensive showing so far Texas

Thanks DDJ

 

[donaldson79]

Thanks DDJ

It sure would be nice if he could come back and contribute now like he did last year.

Gave a pretty good interview in the pregame too.

What the hell were you striking at, Ian

What the hell were you striking at, Ian

Classic example of a guy trying to do too much. A simple single ties the game up, puts another runner in scoring position.

And Yu is sucking hind tit.

This is not starting well for us.
