I vote we sign Arenado when he's a FA.

Adam Morris is talking shit on Twitter about a DFW writer comparing the Rangers to NFL teams... any idea which writer?

My AL was close but I had to put Roogie in, of course had Ian and wrote in Mazara when he was hot.

 

[scotsman1948]

I don't expect JD to make a move for starting pitching. Yu, Colby and Dutch are all expected back. Bullpen help will be the name of the game.

i expect them back too but when is the question. i have read that Yu could be sometime after the ASG but no one seems to agree on how long afterwards some are saying maybe a week some are saying as long as 3-6 weeks after. Colby is out a minimum of 2 months so we are looking at as late as mid to the end of August. and who knows with Holland we could be looking at the same time frame as Yu or beyond.
going even 2 weeks with likes of Griffin, Gonzalez, Ramos, Lohse etc to me is a scary thought.

 

[WastinSomeTime]

I think they're just being very cautious with Yu considering the lead they have. They want him healthy in the second half and for the playoffs, and they're making darn sure they don't do anything to jeopardize that at this point in the season. Especially with the all star break being so close.

You are probably right on this. Just I know how things have been in the past with them saying one thing and it turns out to be much more than what was stated.

 

[WastinSomeTime]

I vote we sign Arenado when he's a FA.

Would love to have that guy.

Do the Rangers have the guts to sit Prince Fielder?

OF and second base were kind of crowded.

Griffin has been a freaking stud.

I read that. We can all help them answer that question.

 

[WastinSomeTime]

Price has pitched better lately. But I hope we light him up like it is the playoffs.

 

[donaldson79]

I read that. We can all help them answer that question.

Ya know, with a few exceptions the Rangers don't get much positive exposure/press. Yet, they can find a sore spot and make note of it while we have the same number of wins as the two teams (Giants/Cubs) who get nothing but positive reviews.

It's a worthy question they're bringing up, but up until the last week or so, I can't remember much pub we've gotten. Am I being "Ranger paranoid?"

David Murphy being honored tonight pre-game. Great guy.

Saw this on ESPN with the Mrs. over a nice lunch.

Choo is in RF

David Murphy being honored tonight pre-game. Great guy.

He handled everything with class. Too bad for that one really bad year because he had some big clutch hits for us during those AL West championship teams.

 

[WastinSomeTime]

Tepesch gave up 4 runs in the 2nd.

Tepesch gave up 4 runs in the 2nd.

No surprise really.
