We longer have any analytics guys. Bagwell, Dusty, and Crane cleared them all out. Forcing our starters to go 3 times through the order has killed us so many times this season. Infuriating.
In the post season you're grateful when a Pitcher goes 5 innings then you bring in your pen. These last 24 games should be managed like the post season
Mitch Garver was such an underrated move by the Rangers. He's been mashing for them and filled in for Heim better than anyone ever thought.
He is a free agent this offseason. Would not mind at all if Houston signed him as a replacement for Maldy.
Garver has been an underrated reason why the Rangers have not completely collapsed even during their cold stretches, and with other guys injured. He reminds me of how Dubon held the fort down while Altuve was hurt, although Garver has been better with the bat.
I 100% agree. I have him signing here in my fantasy offseason, with Diaz moving away from catching and to LF (Brantley will be gone, and I don't want to expose Yordan to injury). I think his bat is too valuable to expose to the beating behind the plate, and catching will also take away 75-100 PA a year. And it can wear down his speed.
Ur starter give u 5 inns and a lead. U have 4 inns to go with ur bad ass bullpen to win an all-important game. But wtf did u do? Trying to milk ur struggling rookie starter out for few more outs. Pathetic!!!
