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

[Bmurph]

That is still a long way away.

Yeah CBS is showing Lohse as the SP for tomorrow, I sure hope not

Angels have really sucked the last 2 days

They have sucked since the first week of the season. We just sucked more when we faced them.

Phew

They have had a rough year injury wise with SP, too. Just lost Tropeano for a long time after his start vs Texas

Boy howdy did the Rangers need that win today. Not quite sure why Banny got so sacrifice-crazy today but a win is a win and a series win to boot!

Now, could somebody please explain to me why Kyle Lohse is starting on Tuesday? We have got to have someone better to take that spot.

Rangers Live just showed that spot in the rotation is TBA

We have got to have someone better to take that spot.

If we don't, and we may not, it's a true indicator of how dire the straits are for us now.

Personally, I'd rather see Martinez back up. Not that that's a great solution, but it is Kyle Lohse we're talking about here.

It was a very good series overall. DeShields is hot for the time being. Mazara looks like he has broken out of his slump even if he didn't fare too well today. AJ looks more like he did earlier this year as well. Hopefully, AJ's struggles were due to his having to get acclimated back to pitching in the big leagues after the layoff.

Now let's continue the turnaround.

Dyson makes me nervous. I wonder if Kela had been healthy all along if he would have already been made the closer. That is something that still might happen eventually. Or we might trade for a closer.

 

[donaldson79]

OK darryl, we're happy you broke your little "mini-slump" too. ha ha ha

Start us a new thread partner.

Sam does indeed seem to have lost something

Of Chi Chi, Lohse and Martinez I choose Nick. Like I said he should have had 2 wins.

I concur with both of you guys. And it's not like he's awful. But last year, Lordy, he was out-n-out nasty. This year, even when he does pretty good, he's still missing nasty.

Good way to put it
