The FO has a giant decision on their hands and the Rangers have the M's for 4: SEA @ TEX 7/14-17

Not to stir the pot too much but it appears that the Rangers valued Duggar ahead of Reks.

Come on Bennie. The sky is not falling just yet. Let’s see what they do at the deadline. Maybe we keep the good ones

He was the guy I wanted to see. Crim had a home run at least

I didn't say it would be a bad trade. I just think the patience to wait on prospects is starting to run thin. Guys a year or more away will have a hard time making it up to our club.

Valuing either one of them is a problem.

Howard has had better results lately, but it sure hasn't been pretty.

 

[saddles]

He is looking good through 4 innings so far.

My concerns did not start this month. My post earlier spelled out how I see the rebuild as being derailed over the course of the last 12 months. On top of that, we have a very bad manager, and we do not appear to have a front office that can tell how bad he is. That makes me think they are all on the same page.

Now, whether that means the sky is falling or not, is up to interpretation and depends on one's goals for the team. Those who simply want a team that finishes over. 500 and stays in the wildcard race most seasons should be ecstatic. Those who desire to be arguably the best team in baseball and to win a World Series, not so much.

I feel ya but I am going to wait to see what trades if any they make and how the squad looks next spring.

I hope Jung is healthy because I bet his bat will be the best of the new guys.

I will say if the manager mishandles our players especially the ones coming up and undervalues defense and keeps over tweaking the lineups and if nothing is done then do think JD needs to be more the interface with owners and let CY see what he can do including a new voice.
Curious to see if there is a players only meeting. I don’t see much passion out there minus Marteen and Adolis

Howards ERA under 7... the future is bright

Lowe you big dumb idiot

Calhoun bad AB

That was a great game … M’s keep it going

 

[Duane1952]

Howard’s last two starts have been pretty good.

 

[Kelleyman]

Woody with a little burr under his saddle. Maybe this loss is a turnaround for him. He has not sounded this way to me before. In the past huge excuse maker

Obviously all the strikeouts near the end and not taking a pitch to let a guys steal. Yup it needs to be team baseball.

Keep it going after the break. Not tomorrow

 

[Kelleyman]

Are we actually 5-20 in one run games. Very telling statistic IMO. I hope Woody gets the wake up call and lays down the hammer. He has coddled in the past. Hope this is a change
