    Game is not over, but this is an ugly pattern we've fallen into and can't seem to get out of.

    Currently, the Rangers hold the 5 slot with a .531 winning rate. That equates to 86 wins. 86 wins! And, nobody expects them to be in the playoffs. At our current rate, we are projected to win 84 games, Cleveland 82 and Oakland 81. I like our chances. We might just need to win 86-90 wins to make the playoffs. My guess is 89-90 makes it. At 89, we'd need to go 55-41 (57%).

    Yes, I do. You are totally basing your opinion on what you have seen so far this year. Look at the history of MLB. Teams often have better (or worse) second halves. We have a very good team, on paper, and I expect us to start playing like it very soon.

    Before the Yankee sweep in August, we heard this same thing all along. Once we make the playoffs, I will like our chances.

    This world is going to Hell in a handbasket.

    Lucky just one shot. Lucky not a head shot. It was definitely not a robbery. Nobody goes into a super crowded place, walk up to a sitting person and just shoot him in the back and run away. It was a hit- either by some sort of twisted fame seeker or someone holding a serious grudge.

    Exactly, and I'm sure this has been a big focus of his development over the years. I doubt a ML coach or player is going to change him. He is what he is. Maybe he can improve the K rate a little and improve his BB% , BA or power, but he can't continue like he has over his last 47 PAs 22 Ks in 45 ABs 2 BBs .146 BA .191 OBP .222 SLG .414 OPS Last 69 PAs: 31 Ks/ 4 BB (including 1 IBB) .188/.246/.234/.481 47 and 69 PA sample sizes are not all that big, but how much longer do we stick with this? Another 47? Another 69? With Holt, Nunez & Hernandez doing pretty well, of late, I'm not sure we go that long. I'm hopeful he turns it around, soon, and he has gone 3 of his last 11 with a 2B and a BB, so maybe he's begun the adjustment, however he has 6 Ks in his last 12 PAs.

    As great as we started last year, especially in April when the Rays sucked, here were are records against top teams on July 31st: (We did not play CLE before July 31st and went 3-3 vs them afterwards) 9-4 vs TBR 4-3 vs MN 2-2 vs HOU 4-5 vs NYY 2-4 vs OAK 21-18 vs all (12-14 vs all minus TBR, who sucked first half)
  21. moonslav59
    I heard the same thing last year, until the playoffs started. In 2018, we were... 3-4 vs HOU 11-8 vs TBR 10-9 vs NYY (but it took a late season sweep to get plus) 4-3 vs MN 2-4 vs OAK 3-4 vs CLE 33-32 All In 2019, we are 12-18 vs NYY, TBR, HOU, CLE & OAK. We have not played MN We're talking a 3 game swing (making us 15-15), and we'd have the same winning % as last year.

    Johnson was our 6th starter, and he's been on the IL, too. The fill-in have sucked: GS Pitcher ERA as a starter 7 Velazquez 6.41 3 R Weber 7.94 2 J Smith 9.82 This has hurt, too: 13 Porcello 4.86 13 E Rod 5.00 4 Eovaldi 6.00
  23. moonslav59
    Well said. My guess is he has been working with numerous people as he rose up the farm chain, and this has always been his big issue. I'm not sure it is an issue that can be solved, but it will be very hard for him to make it without improving on these numbers. Many guys K too much, but they also walk a lot or bash more HRs than Chavis.
  24. moonslav59
    Yes, and the problem with trading JBJ or Porcello is that it would open a hole with nobody in the system ready to fill adequately. Trading those two would be part of a fire sale rebuild phase not as a win now phase. Same with Beni. I think we end up trading Dalbec or Shawaryn or both (or the like) for a solid pen arm with a high salary... maybe a SP'er with the idea of making Eovaldi the closer for the rest of this year- assuming he ever returns.

    We may see mid or early July, but I doubt we do anything in June, unless something falls in our laps. I'm wondering, if there is a deal out there where we can trade a decent prospect plus a salary dump like Nunez or Pearce for an equal salary piece at a position of need that is better than Nunez. I guess it depends on how good the prospect is and how much the GM values him. This would allow us to still have budget space for another move that involves a salary dump by another team. These are usually the deals where you don't have to give up a good prospect.
