This year is so much better
Than last year. It’s nice seeing the young kids getting a chance to play and doing well.

If I was
a Mariners fan, I’d be beyond pissed with the home plate umpire. That Byrd AB was ridiculous. One potential 3rd strike was easily a strike and another was off the plate but a ball he had been calling a strike all night. Since I’m a Rangers fan, I’ll take the win. Nice comeback for CJ tonight.

Just remember San Francisco
When Tex hit the fair ball. It all comes out in the wash.

Unbelievable, that call. I was super super pissed.
Pinch me...this team is playing above .500???
i remember that one
and i was so ticked off i couldnt sleep. and then the week before he hit a potential walk-off homer but the ump called it foul

trades
if either the manny or molina trade go through with the marlins, then i would say the rangers lose. it looks like they will not be able to move a single veteran this year. it is not a big deal, but still a slight disappointment.
the bigger deal is that the Rangers are winning, and while that is good, it probably means we will lose our first round pick this next june instead of our second, which is a bummer.
Don't trade just for the sake of trading
Unless you feel you get a good player in return there is really no imminent need to trade anyone. The only position where young players are being blocked is at catcher and Max could use more time in the minors working on his defense while TT is at the Olympics. Once September comes around they all can be up here if we want. By next April someone needs to go but if we can’t find a good deal right now im fine with keeping all 4 and letting nature take its course.
Bryan Smith (12:17:17 PM PT): Justin Smoak and Josh Hamilton. The AL West might just have found their Bash Brothers, v. 2.0.
All around a succesful game
+ CJ had a just fine save. finally.
+ Padilla wasnt great, but he semi-legitimately earned the victory. His 13th ()
+ Guardado remained good. I dont expect him to be traded, but might as well keep the option open and appealing.
+ Hammy homerun! Always fun.
+ Boggs really long at bat ending with a HR? excellent.
- even the slightest hint of a CD injury sucks, but i think hes fine
- too long. dirt? dirt!?
the preceding post is not nearly as negative or insulting as you think it is
it all runs together in my mind
but yeah, thats right.
well, scratched off the win part, sitll nice to see him continue to pitch decently even if he struggled a bit.

This could be the Rangers time
With the Cowboys still in training camp and having not played a preseason game yet, and with the Red Sox and Yankees coming in, it could be time for the Rangers to show the reset of the Metroplex that they are here to stay.

So from a trade perspective
The chance of getting young pitching worth anything for someone like Cat or Byrd appears to be dwindling. So with the latest developments, would it be worth it to trade either of the two for a relief arm like Schoenweis?

Props to Padillia
He came out with a fastball that stayed around 90 or less and tried using his eephus pitch way too much at the beginning of the game. He made the right adjustments every inning and went 7 . WOW
Tentative agreement has been reached between Pirates, Red Sox, and Marlins
10:33pm: The Palm Beach Post says a tentative agreement has been reached, despite Gammons’ comments. Here’s the deal:The Marlins will get Ramirez for Hermida, right-hander Ryan Tucker and two other prospects, with those four players being flipped to Pittsburgh for outfielder Jason Bay and left-hander John Grabow.
The Red Sox will send the Marlins enough cash to cover the remainder of Ramirez contract, as well as an unnamed prospect.
Pittsburgh gets Hermida and two prospects – two from Florida and one from Boston. One of the Marlins’ prospects is believed to be Tucker.
Not the first time Peter Gammons would be wrong….

Out of those 3 teams Minnesota scares me the least.
1) Sox
2) Yanks
3) Twins
Of those three Boston has the best offense and best starting pitching.
they have been playing pretty shitty tho as of late
4-6 last ten and lost 3 in a row…
Damn JD, i wish i could be smoaking some Danks. f bmac.
their team is way better than ours.

Beckett, Lester, and Dice-K might have something to say about it

dont worry about the twins
their luck will run out. as for the sox and yanks. lets hope the sox cant win without manny and yankees just dont play well?

What has Tex
done in the last 365 days, 37 HR’s or somesuch?
Tex easily gets to 500 and threatens 600 depending on where he plays his last 10 years.

lets see....
We have Chris Davis a 22 year old who is going to be better than tex and already has half of his homeruns. then we texeira who is 28, kills chemistry, and has a huge contract.
with that said, Feliz is dominant starter, we haven’t had anything close to a dominant starter this decade, he throws 98 and is only 20.
Why in the world would you want to spend money on a hitter let alone why in the world you want to give up a great starter for one when we already have CD
Feliz and Hurley. The 1-2 punch of the future
Only you Josey
Could complain about a 22 year old and two 23 year olds who have made it to the bigs already and say they haven’t done enough yet.
Bryan Smith (12:17:17 PM PT): Justin Smoak and Josh Hamilton. The AL West might just have found their Bash Brothers, v. 2.0.
im seriously quesitoning it
because the rash of injuries have made it more difficult to trade the lesser players like vazquez and cat.
and those injuries of course knocked out blalock, and didnt help bradley’s position (not that we were going to trade him).
cant give up padilla anymore, just not enough starters to get by without him.
and hell, maxram is down now too.
many many potential deals have been crossed off the list by whats happened lately.
and teams are finding other solutions at catcher thus far.
i still wouldnt be surprised if a deal goes through, but i was thinking multiple deals a week ago.

Went and watched Diamond for a bit
He looked better to me than his line indicated. He threw a lot of fastballs by guys. Struck out Cunningham on three straight, and Cunningham wasn’t even close to catching up to any of them.

I was at the game tonight
and Josh’s homerun was even more supercool than usual. It was classic… He came up to bat and it was raining, not hard but raining nonetheless. I was thinking, “man it would be cool if he hit a homer in the nice cool rain.” A pitch later, BOOM, it was gone. After jumping up and down for a few seconds I realized that it had stopped raining. Now since I am a Rangers fan I am going to say that JOSH HAMILTON HAS THE ABILITY TO STOP RAIN. That’s right. It’s a super power.
Sorry if this has been covered already I didn’t read through all the threads.
