Let's try more unorthodox things with our young pitchers, maybe we can injure some more of them.

We’ve covered the change in the closer role, but what about the lineup?

Do you guys think odor gets moved down? It doesn’t look like he can handle the pressure or expectations of hitting #2.

Saw a Woodward interview. I think we can expect some bench time and lower in the order.

Maybe Woodward reads our posts.

He played a little CF last night.

This is great news.

It’s never fun to see a guy struggling and the manager keeps running him out there to bang his head against the wall.

Do you have any specifics? Or a link to this?

Watch out! Grumpy Cat is watching you.

He has news on the topic. It’s not just idle ranting and raving about our worst hitter.

No just a post game interview.

Rangers' Rougned Odor: Could be dropped in order

 

[Nightcrawler]

Newly acquired Seth Maness has pitched 5 shutout innings in Nashville tonight. Maybe he could be worth a shot at the major league level. Lots of people are already sick of smyly and miller.

The new pitcher the Rangers just acquired, Maness, has gone 6 innings tonight and only given up one hit and one walk.

Beat you to the punch this time buddy.


The new pitcher doing well is a good development tho. We need all the help we can get.

I really don’t like these long lay offs where we have an early afternoon game followed by a day off then a night game.

Almost 48 hours of no rangers sucks.

He starts the 7th by giving up 2 doubles.

This us only his second starting assignment since 2013.

Yep, you did.

Maness had an awful 7th inning, but I am really surprised they let him pitch that long with him only having one other start the past 5 or 6 seasons.

Not a good decision imo

I am looking forward to seeing Clase and Feigl in the pen in 2 or 3 months, if not sooner.
