I'd love to be there with you, but this team just set a record for most consecutive games with a grand slam. I wouldn't have even thought it was possible to do what they did.
Theres still 2 wild cards or 7 and 8 seeds.xjrayx said:
If by chance we sweep Seattle, what do you think we need to do against Oakland and then the Dodgers to turn this around some? I want to have hope, but hard to with how bad this team looks most of the time. I'm just afraid we do just well enough in this upcoming stretch that we stay in limbo at the trade deadline, and end up in the exact same boat as last year - not good enough to compete for anything, but not bad enough to sell off anything necessary to build for the future. As much as I would love to continue to watch Lynn in a Ranger's uniform, is it really worth holding on to him and not helping out our future since it doesn't seem like we are going to be competitive anytime soon.

I just turned it on. A profanity laced tirade best describes my response to seeing the score.
They'd probably ask for Lynn, montero, and Hernandez for Lux.Fuzzy Dunlop said:
Odor and Lynn for May and Lux.
They'll never do it, though.

This is the dodgers we're dealing with after all.
Trading Hernandez or montero would be dumb because the rangers have control of montero for 2-3 more years and 5+ years of Hernandez. We should trade leclerc and release Chavez ASAP.
I will be pleasantly surprised if I like the return, but I really think they could get more for Lynn during a real season with no Covid in the background.Bingo Bango Bongo said:
I think trading him is right IF the right offer is out there. I just don't see teams selling out for this *******ized season even if he does come with 1 more year. Feels like a cents on the dollar kind of year, even if more control is involved.

Ummm. We got Willie Calhoun. The Dodgers got 3-1/3 with 8ER in the World Series. I doubt the Dodgers fans think they won that one.
It's always a bad year to be a seller when this front office is selling.Bingo Bango Bongo said:
In a market where hardly anyone was looking for a pitcher. Not sure how many times we get to rehash the Darvish deal, but so many races were over early in 2017. Really bad year to be a seller for a pitcher.

That's the excuse they always come back to us with.

We gave them a pitcher who was a solid #2 and could be argued as an ace. Most ranger fans were underwhelmed with what we got.

Willie Calhoun is a real person. He hit 21 hr's last year in a short season.
