Pssst, guys, this Cleveland bullpen ain't bad.
Bats are fine. Lets go get a plus arm.

Been hearing this for a month now, yet the rangers are about to go to 5-17 in their last 22, and will probably drop another series to an average to below average team. The pitching has been enough, if the bats could string any semblance of an offense together and get hits with RISP. That's with Tampa and Houston coming up soon.

Wow. Great stuff. Knew he was good at framing but didn't realize that good. Does beg the question though, is a frame the baseball equivalent of a flop?
And NFL refs don't see the DB's hand on a wide receiver every time a pattern is run, they don't see all the holding calls, and NBA refs don't see every foul. 'Cheating?' Really?

Lots of days off the next couple weeks.AgBQ-00 said:
Have to remember they were on a stretch of 30 games in 31 days before the ASG. They were out of gas. Iirc we don't have another stretch like that
#Rangers have placed Jack Leiter on the development list at Double A Frisco. He's fine physically. The plan is to work on his mechanics with no timetable for a return.

but if you need to add him in a multi-player deal to get someone like Corbin Burnes or any other high caliber pitcher, then he's getting included for me.
Every single thing I've read, including comments from scouts outside the Rangers organization, is that Al has been meddling and interfering, arguably hampering Jack's development. If nothing else, contradictory input could at the very least be confusing for a young struggling pitcher. He needs to stay the hell out of it. Ranger's history of developing pitchers has nothing to do with that.Proposition Joe said:
Are we really scapegoating his dad? This franchise hasn't produced a top SP from the farm in decades. The last one actually had to beg to be converted from a RP.
Daddy may not be helping, but he isn't hurting and has every reason to believe his son might get mishandled.
