Yeah this game is over. Leclerc shouldn't have been out there. Whatever. Just need Beltre to not be crippled I guess...

Bullpen mismanagement continues to bite us in the ****ing ass. When has Leclerc ever pitched 3 innings???
Banny could **** up a wet dream when it comes to managing the bullpen.
This team is furked if Beltre goes on the DL.
That would really suck. I thought this team still had a punchers chance at the wild card.

Hoping that the injury is just a calf strain or hamstring pull. Those seem fairly minor. I could also maybe see it being his back again.
Radio broadcast said Hammy strain. MRI scheduled.
Guzman call? Platoon him at 1st, Gallo to 3rd? Who else we got?

It's gonna be rua
Rally killer Rua?
couodnt they put Gallo at 3rd and put de shields in the outfield?

An extended DL trip for Beltre and you can probably stick a fork in the Rangers' season IMO. He is such an important part of our lineup. Seems like the obvious move would be to bring up Guzman and shift Gallo to 3rd. That would let you play deshields in LF essentially until Beltre gets back.
well can't we bring a bunch of em up tomorrow?

Yep, Sep 1st callups with the expanded rosters.
So.... Rua, Profar, Guzman, Diekman, another catcher (Trevino I believe), and I'm sure a few others should be available.
Forgot about that. In that case, no reason for Guzman not to be brought up. Calhoun should be as well IMO
ZERO reason Guzman shouldn't be making his MLB debut.
Yep, forgot about Calhoun, he should definitely be up as well. I am sure there is another pitcher or two they'll bring up. Get ready for 3.5 to 4 hour games as all the teams will have way too many arms available in the pen.jtstanley4621 said:

Round Rock is eliminated so their remaining 4 Home games against Okie City are inconsequential.
Should see a few of them headed to Arlington, I would think.

Got to think that's likely going to finish him for the year.

How long do you want to ignore this user?
Should we start rooting for losses to improve draft position?
Or wait a week?

Maybe our chances at a wildcard don't go to zero if Beltre is out, but the probability just got a couple of zeros added between the decimal point and the next significant digit

I think I'm rooting for just enough losses to miss that 2nd WC slot and this mess of a season to be over.
I never thought they had a shot at the playoffs this year, but I just can't bring myself to root for losses.grapespda2525 said:

You never and I mean NEVER want to be the team who just barely missed the playoffs in any sport.
It's the worst position to be in because you don't get into the playoffs and you don't get a good draft pick to improve the team. If we can't make it to the post season, I don't want to see the team win much until this season is over.

Yeah you can stick a fork in this season if Belts is out for more than a few games, which he almost certainly will be. Maybe Guzman and/or Calhoun get called up and absolutely rake for the last month but we're going to be so vulnerable against lefties without AB in the middle of the order.
Who knows. We might get lucky and face a lot of righty starters. I haven't looked.

I don't think it really matters all that much in baseball.
Agreed. Only one #1 pick has ever made the HOF. Baseball is much more all over the board.

That should change soon with Chipper and Arod. But yes, high draft picks won't even impact your club for at least 2/3 years at minimum.

Agree. Football?.....yes, I'll root for losses. Can't do it with the Rangers. Don't really think it makes that much difference.
Hard to do with baseball because it's pretty much daily entertainment. Totally sucks to find that after i've spent the day working and spent the evening coaching/attending/transporting my kids, the team is down 5-0 night after night when i finally get to tune in. Football is easier to bite the bullet on.
