Two tanks battle it out in the desert: TEX v ARI 9/7 & 8

A couple of familiar names to me on this list.
I was vacationing in Hawaii and went to a AAA game in Honolulu to see the Islanders and the Tucson Toros. Len Barker pitched a complete game with 10 strikeouts and was dominant.
I went to high school with Jim Umbarger. He was two grades ahead of me. Was drafted 33rd in the 1971 MLB draft by the Indians but decided to go to college the next year.

Sorry but Guzman is a nontender candidate. Our position players on the 25 man roster have little value

Sorry don’t agree about Guzman.

It’s unfortunate he got injured. I was hoping condor was going to somewhat take off this year.
I think he can hit .270 with 25 HRs and play some good defense. Probably be a 3 WAR player.
i am a homer though

That Darvish story is wonderful. Such a class act

He was doing better inthe offseason but Lowe appears to be their guy and too many young guys after that. Just think they are going to cut bait. Roster spot is too valuable. Don't think he is part of the rebuild plans

Appears the FO is not as concerned about draft picks

I was at a doubleheader after Umbarger left for Oakland. Umbarger was pitching against us in one of the games. He hit Toby Harrah with a pitch and both benches cleared and we got to see a fight. The Ranger won both games and they turned a triple play.
A bench clearing brawl, a triple play, and a doubleheader sweep made for the most exciting experience I have ever had at a game.

That guy is something else. I hope at some point he can come back here for a year or two.

If they wouldn't have put their best defensive 1B, by far, in the OF, he wouldn't have gotten hurt.

Yeah how bizarre
Didn’t even last one inning in the OF

Our schedule is about to get a lot tougher. Should be some losses coming up.

Yes, it would be great to go 2-11 the next couple of weeks.

It will be hard with these young talented players all trying to play the best they can to earn a spot.
might just go 14-9 the rest of the way with our new solid rotation

They may not look quite as talented against better competition.
