What will arrive first: Fall or Jung? The Rangers travel to Beantown for some Dunkins and baseball

[DT LUNA]

Got to believe the poor play the two previous games is having a negative effect on the team as a whole.

 

[Kelleyman]

Have to throw strikes

Beas in interview seemed dejected to me

The Rangers are being shutout by a guy that almost has a 6 era. Pathetic.

 

[saddles]

I think about 100 starts a year 62 for the second catcher. Lessen the back to back starts some

Ideally, I would like to find a guy who can start close to 120 or so, and who has a good bat. Sixty games is just a lot to have a weak bat in the lineup. At some point we may have to trade for a catcher or sign a free agent.

Is why we need to see if Huff sinks or swims

Another 2 out walk

 

[saddles]

the way the others are not proving reliable helps Perez bargaining position

Why? When it comes to signing him, his competition will be the other free agents we can sign and who we can trade for, not who we already have.

Guys like Arihara, Keuchel, and Mr. Bullpen will not even be in the picture at that point anyway.

We may only sign one starter and we could look at someone with a better track record than Martin. It is hard to know what they are thinking in that regard.

I think that playing field evens out once season ends but now it is harder to get the hometown discount for Perez. I would rather get him signed sooner but that may not be how it goes

The only way to do that is to do the same thing they did a few months ago when they had Heim and Trevino. If they want to see what Huff can do over a full season they are going to have to commit to that the same way they did with Heim when they traded Trevino. I don't know that they would choose Huff over Heim.

I don't think they want to sign him right now anyway. I think they will let the season play out and then decide.

I think the hometown discount was based on how comfortable Martin is with pitching as a Ranger. I don't see that changing.

I don't see that happening.

 

[saddles]

I don't see that happening.

Me neither. That is why I think we will eventually have to go outside of the system to find a catcher. I think they are going to let two better catchers go in order to keep Heim. One is already gone and most likely Huff will be gone in a few months.

 

[Kelleyman]

We have 28 games left after this so it will be interesting to see who gets the catcher starts
I don’t think we are trading Huff aggressively

But Viloria I bet won’t be here next year. Not always bad to go the slow route for catchers

 

[saddles]

At least with the way the rotation is set up, I won't have to see Mr. Keuchel or Mr. Bullpen start when I go to the game next Saturday.

Trevino it seems gets a lot less starts in NY so they likely cherry pick his starts. We have a defense first Garcia in the minors so I doubt we are shopping catchers. Besides the hope is Garver will be catching as well

 

[DT LUNA]

Adolis boots one. That is the kind of play we have to stop.

I just think the fact that they felt they needed to trade Trevino makes it seem that Huff will be next and soon. Huff has more trade value than Trevino did, I would think.

Their favoring Garver so much is all the more reason they can trade Huff.

Duran joins the bobble club and another is in.
