Texas Rangers vs. Chicago White Sox 8/23-8/25

[WastinSomeTime]

Playing in a place we usually stink at in Chicago and against a pitcher we usually stink against. A double whammy. So much for that.

Overall. I stated a while back I could understand what you were saying. I just think that Beltre brings so much to the table in being the leader of this team. Just has an air about him.

I agree, overall he's better... for now, next couple years will determine where his bat ends up

Overall, the intangibles are worth it.
agree

Solid win Rangers. Thank you Beltre, Perez, AJP, Rios, Baker, Moreland, Gentry, Kins, EA, Rosales....oh hell way to go all the Rangers! 3.5 lead in the AL West.

I still miss Nellie, can't help myself.

Me too, just couldn't help myself.

well, yeah...he's 33, bat speed still looks tough though

Doesn't matter for him personally, HOF lock
and sitting only about 90 spots behind BABE RUTH in all time leaders/WAR

How great is that?

I feel very good about nabbing 2/3 here now. The game against Sale was the one I felt most uneasy about. So much for that.

Gotcha
*sniff*

No seriously, I did get MAYBE a tear in my eye when I knew he was gone.

 

[TheRangerDude]

nice win... this offense is going good right now... I hope they can stay hot like this the rest of the stretch on into the playoffs.

I still miss Nellie, can't help myself.

I don't... I kind of like how this team is shaping up.....ok, we do need another big bat...at LF or 1b...

I meant Machado's bat in a couple years

 

[romeo212000]

I do wonder if they'd bring him back for a playoff run as the dh.

 

[WastinSomeTime]

Cruz who?

I wish Rios would crush a few balls.

I bet they will...your speaking of Cruz, right?

 

[lainey12]

They would never be foolish enough to trade Trout.....well, it is the Angels....

Trout's a Jersey Boy I could see him going to the Yankees....Angels will have to shell it out, will they have it? Sure, but at what cost?

Roger that

I just liked Nellie, besides he's capabilities.

I'm kinda of a Homer.

I would be okay with that. Our DH for the most part has not been a strength lately.

OAK has a tough week coming up. Tilman, Gonzalez, Sanchez, Verlander, Fister, Schurzer. And then three games against the Rays. I bet they would be thrilled to go .500 against that situation. Rangers then get OAK for three games.
