The Rangers begin the longest cookout this season at the Grill with some Twinkies: MIN @ TEX 7/8-10

Well Smith had outstanding defensive and a good pick off from catcher so yuu are right
The pitching let us down

Dunning let us down and we need to let Dunning down to the minors

Winn and Leiter start tonight. Is it too much to ask to have both of them pitch great?

 

[Kelleyman]

Great clip and happy for him this point in the career. We need to extend Teen

i didn't think Bush put it anywhere near where Lowe could have done much with it

It would have been. A great play but he could have gotten his glove on it. Looked at it more than once. Error absolutely goes to Bush but like said no bail out from Lowe.

This makes me think more that a guy like Huff can do first base. We are hurting defensively there

Does almost count for any thing?

Close only counts in horseshoes and hand grenades

Just don't make any calls. None of us seem to do that well.

Winning 2 of 3 from the Twins is an accomplishment for this team.

Now we have 6 of the next 11 against Oakland. That should be 4 wins . Most likely we will win 2 and lose 3 against Seattle and Miami in between the A's series. That puts us at 45-49 going into Seattle and LAA to finish the month. After those series our record is probably close to 48-53.

I wonder if that keeps the front office from going after a pitcher on the pretense of having him for next year as well, when they are actually hoping to contend this year. If they are really mainly concerned about next year they can wait for free agency this November. If they make a move at this deadline then we know they want to contend this year.

Hope Winn gets it together but not sure we can count on him soon.

I could care less about the playoffs at this point but we look a little short on starting pitching

Can’t just burn our pen

 

[Kelleyman]

No shortcuts. Leiter is human

 

[saddles]

Sad news.

Huff hasn't played a lot of 1st so i'm not ready to crown heir apparent

 

[scotsman1948]

Sad news.

just heard very sad news

 

[scotsman1948]

well at first i thought they might call up Duran to take Garver's spot but it makes more sense for it to be Huff

We could take Burke and make him a starter, but Woodward is committed.

 

[saddles]

I sure hope he gets a place to play 5 or 6 times a week.

it will happen when it happens

What an emphatic "YES." It was too much to ask.

Basically we all need to stop making any reference to the possibility of any player potentially having a good performance
