Rangers roll into Hotlanta for some east coast NL baseball - 9/4-9/6

He just needs to move on. If he can stay healthy, he should make someone a good shortstop.

I agree

I like our chances of a sweep ( a word I don't throw around lightly) if we could just get past Teheran tonight. A sweep would probably make us really close to the second wild card. Let's get it done.

They are 2 games out now.

There is a fit at second base, but that would require admitting a very big mistake that was made when they gave Odor that contract. The contract trumps common sense.

Always loved Profar. methinks Rangers think there is an attitude issue. Like written multiple reasons he is not brought up. Not excusing it but things have. Or gone his way on the field or due to injury. Real tough breaks but be needs to rise above

Holland now declared a bust for ChiSox. Maybe he catches on in our MILB system.

Someone needs to change their postscript.
Cashier was one thing JD was correct in his assessment over Dutch. Hope he catches on though

Have. It kept up too much but at last glance his velo was down

White Sox to release Derek Holland

It's a shame he never developed to his potential.

Had a stretch mid-2011 where he was lights out.

I mean now. He should be lights out in his prime. He is only 30.

I got that, I was just reminiscing about that brief moment in time where we all thought we had something with him.

Another team from Boston


Maybe they were talking to belichick recently?

 

[Nightcrawler]

Oh no

Braves starting a lefty prospect against us.

We've seen this before. Domination usually ensues.

 

[donaldson79]

Once an untouchable prospect, Jurickson Profar is now the Rangers' piece that just doesn't fit

Saw this, this morning and sincerely feel bad for him, and perhaps us too.

But in all honesty, he's done little to nothing this season to enhance his value to us or future suitors.

 

[DT LUNA]

O-Boy a rain delay

No, I will wear it all season. I put it out there and I am going to have to live with it through the end of the season.

I was really wrong about Csshner, but not nearly as wrong as I was about Derek. I hope someone can find out what happened to his velocity so he can catch on somewhere next season.

Yeah, I said once before that him and the front office got sideways with each other somehow. It reminds me of when the Cowboys front office got sideways with Jimmy Smith early in his career. I look for Profar to be just abut as successful as Jimmy Smith was after he left. The Joaquin Benoit situation is another one where we got sideways with a player and moved on from him while he still had a lot of quality left in him.

Will their new park have a retractable roof?

If it does it won't close.lol

I think whether Elvis eventually opts out or not will not be a factor. Probably major MIF injury is only hope for Profar. Did read one Tepid tweet re Odor potential for CF. My uneducated take is that Odor does go back for a ball well and likely has CF range. Routes and picking up the ball off the bat is a totally different scenario that I have no clue.

Just thinking unless we get a 1 or 2 year contract with Gomez, I don't think we resign him and his value is recouping IMO
