The Rangers start and end a series against the Marlins - 9/12 - 9/12

[Kelleyman]

Tonight proves to me if we are going to hold and develop pitching, we are going to have to get reliable starting pitching so not to expose the pen

 

[Kelleyman]

This was a gift from our pitchers to a really subpar team that wants to trade for hitting?

 

[DT LUNA]

Got to swing the bat Josh

I commend you guys for sticking with the team this long into the year. I quit Following around the end of august.

We surrendered this game by leaving Martin in. BP is so lacking.

our BS bullpen makes really bad teams look like WS contenders. this is why i think we need to go out in the off-season and get at least 3 quality relievers

Looking at one of our pitchers from the past in Clase and he just picked up his 34th save with 12 strikes out of 15 pitches and lowered his ERA to 1.34.

Just another in a long line of piss poor trades

 

[Bmurph]

Calhoun with a base hit. That should get him another week's worth of starts

That trade should have never been made. Thanks JD.

Seager needs to get off the pot.

School takes priority

 

[Bmurph]

Jung needs to cut down on that chase and swing and miss and he will be in good shape

 

[Nightcrawler]

Been out of school for about 10 years. Haha

Between Otto and Dunning who you think would be more likely to win the #5 starters' spot?

Otto likes to give the batters more things to think about which makes him a little less predictable that Dunning...

But he is more wild so yes IMO more oitxh selection is a plus. Will see how her fares against better hitting. Still see him as a 5th starter in a contending team. Need 3 - 4 starters for playoffs in my book pending if you go one game a bullpen gsme

Well, here is what is presently mocked to the Rangers next July.

11. Texas Rangers

Hurston Waldrep, RHP, Florida

Waldrep, a transfer from Southern Miss, is a bulldog on the mound with an intimidating presence and the pure stuff to back it up. It’s a double-plus fastball, up to 98 with big ride and significant bat-missing qualities. He offers a mid-80s slider with two-plane break and tunnel that’s given righties fits. There’s a solid average changeup in there too, though he’s yet to really unleash it with much regularity. Waldrep shares a lot of similarities with Jack Leiter, the Rangers 2021 first rounder. The frame, the fastball, the projection and intensity; it’s all there. The Rangers are in a win-now mode, so combining Waldrep with Leiter, as well as 2022 first rounder Kumar Rocker in the very near future makes for a pretty intimidating rotation.

I am glad to see that Hans Crouse made it back before the season ended. He missed almost five months due to bicep tendinitis. He looked great through two and a third innings, retiring all seven batters with four strikeouts. The he ran out of steam and wound up giving up four runs. I would imagine he makes it back up to Philly some time next season.

Well he was a reliever when he was drafted and they have made him into a starter so he basically has only 2-3 pitches and until he learns one or two more he has to be unpredictable. Kinda makes me wonder if that gives the umps a mindset that he is wild and they giveup on some pitches and just call them balls when they may not be
