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

[Kelleyman]

Michael Young is going to be a coach for Team USA in the World Baseball Classic. This way, Young can step right in for DeRosa when Mark steps down to take the Rangers job.

We are going to need to hire a manager pretty quick because the Yankees will be firing Boone if he continues to blow it

I have not been following closely. Is Boone the reason for their slide?

 

[armadillooutlaw]

exactly we probably need to sign Perez and another starter like Syndergaard and a quality closer like Edwin Diaz plus 2 or 3 quality relievers

Might even see a trade for another top of rotation pitcher to go with that.

 

[saddles]

There is talk that the White Sox may become available for sale. Maybe Davis and Simpson will get an idea.

maybe. we could trade a package to the Marlins for Pablo Lopez. nothing is out of the realm of possibilities

I have not been following closely. Is Boone the reason for their slide?

He has hotshot rookies he is hesitant to play and his media presence looks bad. He is currently criticized for playing/praising IKF too much and they gave him grief for Gallo and now Gallo looks better which kind of bodes bad to him

So yeah he is a contributor but you know I think players are big factor. They never got pitching at the break. But managers are going to be first to walk

 

[saddles]

I wonder if the Rangers are looking to sign a top free agent pitcher and a short term guy this offseason.

Kyle Gibson might take a short term deal. I guess they could sign Perez and Gibson to 2 year deals, maybe with an option for another year.

That is, if they aren't going after hitting. Some were mentioning a shorter term guy for 1B while moving Lowe to DH. If so, then maybe Abreu.

I like what Bubba is starting to do with the bat.

 

[DT LUNA]

RISP continues to bite us in the boo boo

 

[armadillooutlaw]

Bubba has a leg up for the LF spot. He has been very good lately.

Rookie mis-cues costly tonight.

 

[DT LUNA]

A Kuechel night

 

[Duane1952]

Please release Kuechel.

 

[saddles]

It is still just the top of the third for Frisco, but Zavala, Crim and Foscue are a combined 5 for 5 with a walk. Home Runs for Crim, his 20th, and Foscue. A double for Zavala.

 

[DT LUNA]

Anyone know how many runs scored with rwo outs tonight

 

[saddles]

This is more like what I was expecting out of Ricky this year.



His ERA over his last 6 starts is 2.30.

 

[Duane1952]

Anyone know how many runs scored with rwo outs tonight

6. 3 in the 4th and 3 in the 5th.
