TEX @ SEA 7/25-27

[True Rangers Fan]

To expensive right now. I believe he still has 2 years before he reaches free agency.

yep. that's why they are asking what they're asking

 

[armadillooutlaw]

saw a series of trade deadline trades:

1) Rangers trade Martin Perez LHP and Ezequiel Duran to the St Louis Cardinals for Alec Burleson OF & Ryan Helsley RHP

2) Rangers trade Martin Peres, Matt Moore & Charlie Culberson to the Atlanta Braves for Kyle Muller LHP

3) Rangers trade Kole Calhoun, Matt Moore & Trevor Hauver to the Boston Red Sox for Jarren Duran OF

Not a big fan of #1, really like #2, not sure about #3.

Rangers Sign Dallas Keuchel To Minor League Deal

The Rangers have signed Dallas Keuchel to a minor league contract, per a team announcement. The 2015 AL Cy Young winner …

Why?

Maybe it's more of a question of why not? First, he didn't cost the price of a good taco. Second, this team LOVES doing this type of move.

 

[donaldson79]

No one is worth that. Too many unforseen things floating out there.

The word 'worth' is right up there with value in today's world IMO. And I don't have any idea what either of them mean.

Always nice to have you stop by.

 

[DTC]

Awesome!
Him and Brosky were the 2 I hoped we could sign.

Signing him is basically a low cost flyer with the hopes that he could have a late-career resurgence like Lynn, Minor, Gibson, and now, Perez and (as a reliever) Moore.
Not much of a downside, IMO.

I appreciate the thought DT! Very much!......And, can you tell me what our record is in one run games this year? I'm thinking it's like 5-24/25. Am I close?

Close. 5-22 to date

Close. 5-22 to date

Thanks.....I wish I wasn't this close.

 

[DT LUNA]

Thanks.....I wish I wasn't this close.

Just guessing but this kind of thing should be getting someone's attention.

I wonder what is the worst record in 1 run games in a season by a team.

 

[DT LUNA]

May be us if we don't turn things around. Last night game did not need be lost. Poor decisions and execution.

One would/should think...........But let me ask you something. Wasn't it a few years ago we had some ridicilously terrific record in one run games? Like 21 and 7 or some such?....My memory fails me here.

I believe we were 0-10 with RISP!

No downside, unless he comes up and starts ahead of Hearn, or Otto, Ragans. We don't need a Culberson on the mound too.

The difference in him and a lot of those starters you mentioned is that they weren't doing as badly as he was just before he was signed.

 

[DT LUNA]

I believe we were 0-10 with RISP!

Failure to take advantage with RISP has been a tremendous problem all season thus far.

Afraid my memory escapes me also.
@saddles likely will know.

Teams with the best record in 1-run games

The teams that find a way to win close games often find themselves in the postseason. Take the 2023 Marlins, who went 33-14 in one-run games to reach the playoffs despite a -57 run differential -- the lowest for any team to ever make the postseason. The 2016 Rangers hold
