Ballgame! Rangers take 3rd straight series, going for the sweep

 

[Kelleyman]

Rangers seem to be spraying the ball better including Trevino. They sure could not get it out of the infield with men on 3B... but then Dietrich came through with the gamechanger Gibson good game Odor a bit more relaxed but ironic he pops out then DD hots 3run shot. Wonder who sits tomorrow

 

[Nightcrawler]

I want to see more Trevino.

I want to see more Trevino.

He should be our starter. He threw out 44% of base runners last year and he seems to be getting better at making contact. Plus he is 27 and Chirinos is 36 and in 2018 he threw out 10% of runners. Need to see what we have for our future. Chirinos does have pop in his bat.

all I’ve seen from chirinos this year is strike out or ground into double play.

From MLB trade rumors.

"Rosenthal’s piece also notes that the Rangers have been getting trade interest in Lance Lynn, though a move doesn’t seem likely with Texas battling for a playoff spot. Lynn theoretically would be a good trade candidate if the Rangers were to fall out of the race, as the veteran is under contract for $8MM in 2021 and has been one of the sport’s best pitchers this season. After yesterday’s complete-game victory over the Rockies, Lynn has a sparkling 1.11 ERA, 3.00 K/BB rate, and 11.0 K/9 over a league-best 32 1/3 innings."

I’m highly skeptical we could get as much value for him during this farce of a season.

I think we’re better off trading him next year. Heck.... might be a good idea to try and extend him as our ace for another 3-4 years.

If I thought we could actually get some future quality players I may be for it but I have my reservations on that happening. Otherwise see what it would cost to extend him next year if he keeps pitching like he has last year and this. We are going to have to spend some money at some point if we are ever going to build a good team and pitching is the key.

Trevino could be what we have been needing since Pudge. He may do wonders for the team and now is the time to find out what he's got.

Glad to see some of you getting on board my Trevino bandwagon.

It only makes sense. Youth vs old. Chirinos and Mathis should not be considered as future. This is Trevinos time.

im definitely on board after seeing Cheerios play. He looks awful. He looks even worse than odor.

the rangers need to dump those soggy Cheerios into the disposal, grind them up, and go for some Trevino instead.

I'm high on him, but not quite to that level.

I think they just won’t bat odor 8th because of his ego. What a joke.
