The 1st half of the season could be very challenging for the RANGERS. 

1. Looks like we lost out on resigning Montgomery.

2. Seager, Lowe, and Jung are all dealing with injuries.

3. deGrom, Scherzer and newly acquired Mahle will not be ready until the summer or later, which leaves us with no depth to the rotation.

 

Projected pitching rotation:

Was hoping they’d sign a big name reliever and maybe trade for a starter.  Might be a long shot to make the playoffs this year if we can’t stay afloat until everyone comes back.  On a positive, Wyatt Langford has been absolutely raking in spring training.

Anyone have information about Michael Lorenzen?  I'm not very familiar with him but it sounds like his career has been up and down.  Is this a good addition? 

He'll be a decent 4th or 5th starter.  He's spent a good amount of time in his career as a long reliever, so when all of the injured pitchers return he may fill a valuable role in the bullpen.  Career 40-38 record, 4.11 ERA.  So basically an inning eater, but not a bad move by the rangers.

Josh Jung was hit by a pitch last night and fractured his wrist. Probably going to be the middle of May before he comes back.

gotta feel for him.  He'd been our best or second best hitter to start the season.  pretty insane how stacked our lineup is even with him and Lowe out.

Bradford pitched a gem last night in the 10-2 win over houston. 
7.2 innings, 2 hits, 1 run, 4 K’s, 0 walks 

 

I didn’t trust him coming in, but he’s been dang solid through two starts.

After the 16 games the RANGERS are 8-8.  The pitching has been bad so far.  The starters are only going 4 and 5 innings which leads to a over worked, already bad, bullpen.  Can't wait for Lowe, Jung, and at least one pitcher to come of the IL.

Leclerc has cost us 2-3 games already, and lost his closer spot already.  The bright spot in the pen has been Kirby Yates.  He took over the closer role this series and saved his first chance, then today when the rangers scored in the top of the 9th he shut down Detroit in the bottom of the 9th to get the win.  He’s 2-0 on the year with a save, pitching 7.1 innings giving up only 1 hit so far with a 0.00 ERA.  Hopefully he’s found the form he had for the Padres from 2017 to 2019.  If so he could be elite.

      I don't completely disagree. Individual drills, running, lifting, etc. I agree are perfectly fine. This incident involved a padded practice where a kid was injured. I just think it would be best for an AD to have the Varsity athletes currently participating in another sport just sit out. It's an activity with a much higher risk of injury. We don't see basketball kids practicing/playing while football season is going on do we? No, because no AD would allow that. Let's have the same common courtesy for the other sports too.

      Too many people haven’t heard “Dirty Old Egg Sucking Dog” by Johnnie Cash.  Way too many flakey people in this world. Was she fighting dogs to death across state lines? Lots of the people who would condemn Noem  had absolutely no problem with Vick. I guess politics is a whole nother animal.

      I have some friends whose “fur baby” bit somebody in the face because “she wasn’t feeling good and he was “in her face.”” The young man needed three stitches on his chin. She still growls and snaps at people all of the time… she’s a cocker spaniel with a bad attitude and she bites.    Those same friends are expediting their first actual skin baby this summer… they’re not worried at all, and I’m certain that they’ll be shocked when the dog maims their baby.     God gave us dominion over the animals for instances like this.

      No argument in your rationale however politics isn’t rational. Said people vote. Those votes don’t have to be approved by a jury deciding if a voter has a valid reason for his beliefs. There are things that I firmly believe but I would never say them, even in private (what is private anymore?) if I ever intended to run for office. It doesn’t matter if my private thoughts could be proven 100% as correct, it still might very likely lose voters and an election.  Maybe you missed the Trump presidency……

      Well at least she didn't eat the dog. Then again, she might have become president.   I can't believe this went to page 2 without anyone mentioning Obama eating dog meat.
