Martin is running out of options, no?

Moreland out at least a month...not surprising he is doing a decent amount on the DL.

how in hades are the Rangers being held to six hits by Josh Flipping Outman????
Bogart
Footballguy
I guess we can be lucky that the bats were cold on a day when Lewis had one of "those starts".
Captain Hook
Footballguy
yeah really but with Lewis going to the DL they better flippin put Robbie Ross in the rotation and Perez in the bullpen
Captain Hook
Footballguy
almost as bad - the word is they are putting Feldman into Lewis' spot in the rotation and both Ross and Perez stay in the bullpen

Grimm is still listed as the starter for Saturday and Wash was very complimentary talking about him so I doubt they pull him from that slot ................at least this weekPerez could start Saturday if they don't want to give Grimm another start.'Captain Hook said:almost as bad - the word is they are putting Feldman into Lewis' spot in the rotation and both Ross and Perez stay in the bullpen'culdeus said:

I think they are trying to keep ross in close to the role he has had all year. Feldman was right in a way, he is getting move around because he is not in their long term plans.'Captain Hook said:almost as bad - the word is they are putting Feldman into Lewis' spot in the rotation and both Ross and Perez stay in the bullpen'culdeus said:

Listed where? Saturday would be Grimm's turn, so he's probably the projected starter on most sports sites.But this was announced yesterday via John Blake (Executive VP of Communications):Grimm is still listed as the starter for Saturday and Wash was very complimentary talking about him so I doubt they pull him from that slot ................at least this weekPerez could start Saturday if they don't want to give Grimm another start.'Captain Hook said:almost as bad - the word is they are putting Feldman into Lewis' spot in the rotation and both Ross and Perez stay in the bullpen'culdeus said:
Rotation for Oakland: Feldman, Harrison, TBD, Darvish.

On the Rangers site - still says that

"Probable Pitchers", which comes from MLB.com I think... not the Rangers.Jon Daniels also said yesterday either Perez or Grimm will start Saturday. Still TBD.On the Rangers site - still says that
Could depend on if Perez is needed in long relief before then. (speculation)

The lesson here is that the NL blows.
Bogart

Agreed, but thought they would be due a letdown against Detroit.

Hopefully Oakland can salvage the series. Can't believe they blew their previous chances. Either way, congratulations Texas fans. Yu hasn't hit the ground running as was hoped but damn if he's not a lot of fun to watch pitch.

Footballguy
If he keeps his era under four, is in the top 10 in strike outs and is legitimate consideration for the all-star game ever year, I think Yu will have made the investment pay off.

Should be a fun second half.
Can LAAAA make up 4 games on this thing? Can we get everyone healthy at the same time? Which Hamilton do we get, or do we get both again like the first half? Who is Robbie Ross in the 2nd half (I don't think it will be Ross as you have to expect him to slow down)? Is there really a chance for two 20-game winners on this thing?

Well, hard to judge that first half. I think I buy the theory that when healthy and engaged this team can't be stopped. To an extent they were victims of success. LAA started slow and they built a huge lead and maybe just let off the gas a bit thinking they would coast from there. Then the injuries hit hard and somehow they kept the wheels on and still entered ASB at what? 18 above 500? :lazy:
Still not getting production or even play right now from
Young
Cruz
Feliz
Holland
Napoli
Hamilton
Kinsler
Ogando
Hell, when your two hottest players in June are platoon OF and a rookie reliever that barely made it on the team that usually means problems.
Big ALWest run out of the break. Need to do something big.

I love reading the Rookie Rangers boxscore every day. This system went from a deficit of power/corner bats to that being a strength pretty quickly.
Captain Hook
Footballguy
It was 7 home runs [he now has 8] but that leads the league and he looks very good

Yes. You are right. I misread it. 8th HR in 17th game. Thanks for catching that.

Footballguy
Not linking anything but everything I have been able to tell is that he bascially can't play in games, but can participate in most other activities.
Captain Hook
Footballguy
I can check at the AZ facilities but it may take me a few days for schedules to mesh
Now 10 HR in 20 games and a 1.48 OPS. I wonder if he will get promoted to Spokane soon? Newberg RT'd someone saying the AZL rookie HR record is 16, although when most guys hit double digit HR's they get promoted before being able to get more...

I talked with his Corey Ragsdale the manager of the rookie team last night and he doesn't think that will happen soon (of course he hopes Gallo is there to help them win). But the AZL in general is very young this year and most managers don't expect many of the players to be bumped up as early as they would have been in previous years (a few of the early first round picks will be the first to go)
Captain Hook
Footballguy
Checked on Beras last night - he can work out with teams or at team facilities, and is probably doing that in the DR right now. He is expected to be in Surprise for the Instructional League in September and be here again for spring training next year. When the minor league season starts he will have to serve a fifteen game suspension and that will be the end of the one year.
Nice info! Thanks

I am starting to wonder when josh had his monster month and didn't get paid it sort of took the life out of things.
It is either that or hangover from two long playoff runs.
I'm not scared of LAA long term this year. They have only 3 real hitters that can hurt you. They got damn lucky to hit gold in their minors or they'd be 10-12 back.
