4 game set.
everyone pitches except Dunning for the rangers.
Going 2-2 in Oakland would be a bummer IMO. Mason Miller is the only good starting pitcher they have (3.38 era). He was supposed to pitch against us Friday, but is having arm soreness and now we'll miss him. They don't even have a...
Pitching matchups are in the snakes favor. It looks like we face their #1 and #2 with our #4 and #5.
id be ok with a split. Light week for the rangers with no game Monday and Thursday.
to this day, I still can’t believe the rangers hired Jeff banister all just because he had a good lunch time...
you know what’s interesting to me?
Our lineup is a lot better than we all expected it to be and we’ve gotten hardly any production from the projected starters at 2nd base, 1st base, catcher, and center field is lackluster as usual.
This series will be a big test for the lineup. We’ve seen it happen so many times before. It seems like this miserable ballpark is where ranger hot streaks and winning streaks go to die. Pitching matchups are a lot more favorable than last series tho.
pitching matchups look terrible. We see both Cole and verlander. We won’t have minor or Lynn pitching. I’d take 1 out of 3 honestly, but our bats seem to show up at home. I hope we can make it interesting. The Astros have been locked in lately.
hopefully woodward learned all about Mike trout last time.
We need to be ready to intentionally walk the guy when it’s possible. Let’s get back at these guys for that miserable series in Anaheim.
thought I’d try my hand at making a series thread.
The good : team is back home and we’ve hit well here so far against good pitchers. Only the Angels pitching has been able to slow us down.
The bad : the tommy john crew is starting for us and the A’s will try to draw walks. Ranger killer Marco...
I don’t mind seeing the A’s and mariners beat us the rest of this year because it’s going to make things harder on the Astros and help our draft position.
Is there any possible way we could get rid of Matt Moore at the end of the season? Buy him out or something? Guy is worthless.
ive always enjoyed the orioles park. I like seeing it on tv, I’ve never been there tho.
Should be an interesting series you have some winnable games with the all star break and trade deadline looming.
keep all of your trade rumors and speculation to this thread.
I know we’re all very excited about the end of July coming up. Most of us are expecting at least 2 trades and we could see as many as 5. We have an amazing opportunity to shorten the rebuild and pay for our “sins” of trading...
first of all, yes they’re extremely talented and I’m not disputing that, but I just can’t believe how lucky these guys get.
Their first title seemingly every opponent had their best player or second best player hurt.
WCF last year - looked like it was going to be a tough series...... and San...
on the surface we’re looking at two bad teams and a crappy park with no fans at the game, but there are a few interesting storylines to watch.
Will Martin Perez continue being a road warrior? He’s 4-1 with a 2.82 era in his last six road starts going back to last season.
Will Matt moores...
An early happy Friday the 13th to everyone ( watch out for Jason voorhees)
Pitching matchups

Sunday: big sexy ( 0-0, 1.64 era) vs. Justin...
