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

It is a good time for us to lose.

C - Heim/Huff
1B - Lowe/Huff
2B - Semien
3B - Smith
SS - Seager
LF - Duran/Hernandez
CF - Tavares
RF - Garcia
DH - Huff

Who I'd like to see the rest of the year in the starting lineup... barring trades of course

I'd honestly be okay with trading Jung, Foscue, Huff, Garcia, Lowe and some others for the right thing and clear up some 40 man spots for next year

Don't want to see White, Winn, Leiter, Duran or Smith going anywhere though

Kindreich had what I think is his first bad start of the season for Hickory tonight.

So yes it looks with the Duggar addition Reks was the odd man out. Maybe they are anle
To move him for something

Keep it going after the break. Not tomorrow

Yep, still lots of baseball left …

That hit and run in the 9th was a huge moment, bad luck it went straight to the first baseman for the double play, that gets down the line it was game time …

I would love to see that lineup everyday. Miller and Calhoun need to be riding the bench or traded.

This is my post from July 1. Since then we have went 5-10. We would get that 10-17 mark by going 5-7 the rest of the month.

We have 27 games this month. What record over these 27 games tells management that this team is not ready to contend and we need to trade off a couple of veterans and go with youngsters? On the other hand which record tempts management into making a couple of acquisitions to help us push for the postseason this year.

My guesses are:

10 -17
16-11

Calhoun bad AB

He has been awful lately. A lot of K's.

If we were just playing .500 ball in these 1 run games we would be over .500. I am not sure I have seen a Ranger team have this bad of record in 1 run games.

Matt carpenter has a 1.400 OPS and 13 home runs this year for the Yankees. Funny lol

I am not so sure that was a hit and run per Woody interview. Wonder if a steal
Wa in place

BTW do think you guys have a pretty quality beat guy like Divish. And the announcer Niehaus was a gem. Other teams are not as fortunate to have guys call games with as much enthusiasm as he did. Some of his calls were greatness. We have one announcer on the radio, Nadel who has that same genuineness enthusiasm as his mentor Holtz did.

 

[scotsman1948]

Why on earth would we DFA Heim? if someone actually suggested that, they're a moron

was spit balling. someone here has suggested that if we are going to bring people up they should play every game and that means either benching someone like Lowe or Heim or trading or DFA'ing them. i think it is stupid personally

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.

like i said you seem to know more than anyone so maybe you should be in the front office or maybe in the dugout as manager
