Series Thread: tRangers travel to LaLa land. Hopefully bullpen doesn't suck: 4/7-4/10

So is Nomar for sure getting the call up? If so he better be in the damn lineup everyday.

It's a freaking cluster. Because Rua really deserves the chance to play every day in Choo's absence, but then you leave Mazara rotting on the bench. I think they may be waiting on Choo's MRI results.

Seen nothing on this. Wouldn't think they'd make this decision until a decision is made on Choo.

IMO we're OK for a few days with Rua in RF and see how everyone does with treatment, healing. However, I'm sure they're looking to bring up the catcher, Nicholas (?).

I agree with both of you. I've just read some speculation that they might bring up Maz.

He was taken out of last night's game in the 9th inning. We'll see.

Grade II means it's going to be a while. He'll go on the 15 day DL at minimum. I'm guessing a platoon between Mazara and Rua. Wonder how soon Banny will get him a start.

Unless JD is trying to work a deal for another catcher it's just a matter of when, not if.

Any word on Jimenez?

You're probably right. But to me, if Desmond doesn't start having some better ab's, then one of those guys can pick up some time in LF too.

I think they will probably see how Nicholas does before making a move, but that is just a guess. I would think it may depend on when Gimenez will be back.

Choo is expected to miss four to six weeks with a Grade 2 strained right calf and will be placed on the 15-day DL. Chirinos has a broken right forearm and will be out 10-12 weeks. The catcher is going on the 60-day DL.

Evan thinks the Rangers are probably looking to reacquire Bobby Wilson from Detroit.

It's hard to believe we already have two major injuries in the first week. Hoping something good and unexpected will come forth. Will miss today's game so you guys have to tote the barge and get the win. Enjoy the game and have fun.

This means Gimenez is out indefinitely I guess.

Let's see what Rua and Mazara can do.
