Rangers 2014

[BP]

We just dealt Soria to the Tigers for 2 pitching prospects.

Knebel was already playing in the majors and is likely heading to our bullpen. He was a rockstar closer in college at UT.

Jake Thompson is a little greener having been drafted straight out of Rockwall Heath but he has good stuff.

I think this was a good trade for the Rangers. It gives Feliz another shot at redemption, frees up some payroll and we add an arm to the bullpen. Besides if you believe in karma it has to pan out, the Tigers owe us for taking on the Fielder contract.

Holy shit, we won a game!

This...^^ I was shocked last night.

I sat and watched yesterday. I honestly didn't know half the team, maybe more.

I can't remember a MLB team ever having 4 catchers on an active roster but it's a good thing the Rangers do, Warsh started 3 of them and had to pinch hit with the last one.

That's 2 in the last week!

Granted the Yanks pitcher kinda sorta handed us the lead, but... we seriously need to address our "Silent Bat Syndrome". Our pitching sucks right now but it's like we struggle to get runs in. Who the hell am I kidding, the whole team sucks right now. Sigh.

Trading known suck for an unknown. Solid move there.

[BP]

Well they just made the first move, Frasor to KC for Spencer Patton. He has an awesome last name and went to the same college as Romo, I'm sure he'll be great.

Why are they losing?

One name comes to mind...Nolan Ryan.

Sundberg is also leaving after this season. As for why there are too many reasons to list. Losing Holland was bad, losing Martinez was worse and losing Harrison was just icing on the cake. Trying to use Ross and Sheppers in the rotation failed miserably. I hope we've learned our lesson finally, starters can be made into relievers but it rarely works the other way around. CJ Wilson and John Smoltz being pretty much the only two guys it's worked for.

Idiot.

[bucky]

Most of the blame fall on Jon Daniels. The players deserve tons of criticism also. Starters putting them in 5-0 holes in the first inning. Bone-headed plays in the field...so many by Andrus and Martin i have actually lost count. The blame goes all around.
