Choo gets the record

If he can extend it past the Boston series, there’s a good chance the streak would continue until around July 20th when the rangers come back from the all star break.

Baltimore’s pitching is horrid, but if I was banister I’d sit him the last game before the break just to make sure the streak lasts another week.

Anything to extend the streak and boost his trade value.

That will make less than zero difference in his trade value.

Getting on base over 50 games in a row doesn’t help his trade value?

No, and sitting him to “extend the streak” won’t change it either. Unless he just goes into a nose dive his trade value is pretty much set, and maybe even not then. MLB execs aren’t so short sighted to care about a silly streak.

Of course not......It just means he's just as apted to go the 'next 10 games' and not do the same; regardless of what team he's on.......You fall for way too many follies, and fools gold.

Then this is a really good move for us.

The Rangers should have money, so investing in our future this way by eating some makes sense to me.
They are doing what they should be doing which is to start stock piling the minors. So you are right. It does makes sense.

This is just off the top of my head so I could be wrong but it seems we have been getting good results from our pitchers when IKF is the catcher.

Choo is the first Korean hitter to be selected to the ASG.

1B in the AL took a nosedive compare to the competition in the past. And how Snell was left off the team is ridiculous. He leads the AL in ERA and has been pitching lights out.

I just want to see him traded so badly. I’m trying to find a way to convince myself that it will happen.

The streak and the all star pick can only help.

Satisfying. Yes sir Satisfying!!

The big knock on him wasn’t his ability it was because he was never able to stay healthy.

Several years in a row JD / wash would give him an automatic spot in the lineup everyday, then we would be sent scrambling for back up plans. I just got sick of that non sense.

Good to see Big Mitch become an All Star.

Neither will make any difference.
