TxFight Posted April 12, 2019 Share Posted April 12, 2019 Hard to argue with results so far. Rangers have seen some dudes on the mound and have done a great job of battling every at bat. Hope this mindset continues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PelvisPresley Posted April 12, 2019 Share Posted April 12, 2019 .485 to .500 winning percentage is going to get you exactly where you are now though in the west...LAST PLACE...by quite a few games when the season is over there are some things that look better (fundamentally) but that kind of thing is year to year as our young players mature, etc. I just wish we weren't a "K-Mart" 5 &10 type team piecing it together with junk and scrap heap material that the good teams would and do giggle at. @rangers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TTman7 Posted April 12, 2019 Share Posted April 12, 2019 SO FAR, I've been impressed by the pitching and effort of this Rangers team. Doing better than I thought they would. BUT, it's a LONG season and it's still VERY early. Hopefully they can keep it up and have a respectable season and build on it next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I'm not saying that because I'm a Rangers fan. Pretty certain we will finish at the bottom, but the A's, Astros, and Mariners are all playoff potential ball clubs (definitely the astros) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
THSfanatic Posted April 17, 2019 Share Posted April 17, 2019 AL East. Regardless of numbers right now. Tampa Bay is legit and everybody knows what Boston and NY have Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TxFight Posted April 22, 2019 Share Posted April 22, 2019 Again, 20 games in I have been pleased with what the Rangers have trotted out every game. They battle every at bat, both at the plate and in the field. Have already been beset with some injuries but have responded positively. Looking forward to seeing how the approach holds up in the grind of the season. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thegreatbambino Posted April 23, 2019 Author Share Posted April 23, 2019 Other than Minor and Lynn the rotation is suspect. May need to be like the Rays and deploy the opener. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PelvisPresley Posted April 23, 2019 Share Posted April 23, 2019 @Rangers please go get Dallas Keuchel (especially him) and Craig Kimbrel - please open the purse up...next season is next season...I live for today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TxFight Posted April 24, 2019 Share Posted April 24, 2019 This is the scenario playing out that the MLB club has to get figured out pronto or it is going to be a miserably long season. The starting pitching has been awful (last in IP) at getting deep into games. And they have had injuries to an already not deep starting pitcher pool. To not completely derail the development of the young arms, the big league guys have got to find a way to get the job done. The bullpen is not spectacular, but they have held up better than I would've expected with the amount of work they have had to put in already.

PelvisPresley Posted April 24, 2019 Share Posted April 24, 2019 The negative circular, feed itself world says though at this point that due to the fact that since the @Rangers can't pitch longer into games and spare the BP. The BP will be shot by late May and maintaining arms reach of the Division or WC leaders will fade fade fade. Can't always live for tomorrow when you have a little shot today.

wtlobos Posted May 1, 2019 Share Posted May 1, 2019 LeClerc seems to have lost it on the mound. I hope they can figure it out. He’s way too talented to go by the wayside. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s way too talented to go by the wayside. Thought he threw as well as he has thrown in a while. I don't know if it officially got counted as an error, but Mazara probably should've got the ball that the leadoff hitter put in play. Thus the game should have been over before it ever got to Bell at the plate. Definitely a bad break, for a kid who needed a break to go his way.

TTman7 Posted May 9, 2019 Share Posted May 9, 2019 Rangers beat the Pirates today 9-6. Current record is 17-17, and 3rd in AL West. Start a 4-game series with the Astros tomorrow night in Houston. The Rangers still have alot of things to work on and get better. Consistent pitching and hitting being the primary thing imo. BUT, I'm still happy (content) with their current record because I thought they'd struggle to even be sniffing a .500 record all season. It's still early, and alot of season left, but I'm optimistic about this Rangers squad and what they can build on if they add a few pieces (pitchers hopefully) by next season. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TxFight Posted May 9, 2019 Share Posted May 9, 2019 Interesting that Delino got the boot for the presumable return of Guzman. Does not bode well for him in the future long term plans if they aren't willing to part with Santana or Forsythe to keep him up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TTman7 Posted May 10, 2019 Share Posted May 10, 2019 I'm really liking the TV angle during this Rangers - Astros game at Minute Maid Park. The straight-on angle behind the pitchers mound (instead of slightly to the side). You can see the movement of every pitch...its great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pence was great when he was at Houston but we was going through a downturn and needing players so they traded him. Hated to see him go Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
