Only took about 3 starts but I think the rangers have finally figured out Manaea

Desmond is just a hell of a player. Even when he's "slumping", he's still a threat every time up to bat.

You honestly think those things haven't been tried so far? I guarantee you that multiple people have talked to him about taking more pitches and spent time with him in the cage.
Probably but that word desire and want to has to come from him.

Too bad they can't figure out Khris Davis. Other teams have no problem striking him out with ease. I know because I've seen it multiple times. He's like Kyle Seager- all star against us and ordinary against everyone else.

Wonder if we make a real attempt at re-signing him.

There are deals, sure. But I worry we are going to have to pay a Hamels-esque price for an Andrew Cashner. And I don't know if I want that.

You're way over-stating your point in comparing Hamels and Cashner.

I have a LOT MORE FAITH in JD than to think he'd so overpay for Cashner.

Seems Mazara was just teasing us. He's not good right now.

When you're right, you're right. I should have tapped the brakes sooner and JD did his level best to show me why I should always trust him.
