The injury bug is unreal.

Now Rua is out...what is happening?!

Rua hurt his ankle apparently

Wrong face

This team sucks!

I know he had only pitched once in the last 4 days...but I don't think anything good would have come out of that Feliz outing. Banister should have sensed that.

Not the managers fault Feliz isn't very good.

Sub scapular strain. Won't throw at all for 4-6 weeks. At least.

Unreal.

Maybe we all sold our baseball souls for those two AL championships. This is the reparation for those deals.

Clearly Wash did some voodoo sh*t that is now coming back to haunt us.

I've never heard one person mention the Rangers strength and conditioning coach or their training program. I don't even know who it is. When do we start holding them accountable?

I said this all year last year and was told by everyone that it had nothing to do with strength and conditioning

What injuries are S&C related?!

What I posted on the other thread:

There are a ton of players hurt this year.

The Rangers are tied for the lead with Oakland, at 8.

Who are they?

Darvish & Martin Perez both have TJ. I don't know of any connection between training TJ surgery.
Matt Harrison has been on the DL for like 2 years because of back fusion surgery. That, AFAIK, isn't a trainer issue, but a genetic
issue.


Scheppers was drafted as a fragile player that would likely spend time on the DL.

Profar's injury is something they've been trying to rehab. He hasn't really been part of the Rangers team. I don't know that it is a
conditioning issue. They have had a number of setbacks on rehab.


Antoan Richardson was a pickup from the NYYs in the offseason signed as a FA in Dec 2014 to a minor league deal. He had surgery for a
herniated disk.


Fujikawa was also signed in December 2014, from the Cubbies.

Lisalverto Bonilla is the only player that may apply. I don't know much about him, his injury or his status.

Last year you had Holland who had his dog trip him on the stairs.

It isn't like a bunch of hamstrings. Didn't Juan Gonzalez have to hit the DL for bending over and tying his shoe?!

When you look at some of the Rangers players... they are scrapping the bottom of the bowl. Over the years they have picked up a number of
pitchers who were coming off injury, including TJ, in hopes they could
sign them cheap for 2 years and get some mileage out of them.


6 of the 8 players are pitchers. That shouldn't surprise anyone.

Add Holland to the 60DL - Shoulder. 7 of 9

If there are one or two more injuries and they fall 10-15 under .500, does an overhaul begin?

I guess, but outside of Beltre, I'm not sure there's much worth selling off. Between contract size and injury questions, this would not be a very appealing garage sale of veterans.

would have been all worth it if we won in 2011

After having to suffer game 6, we don't owe a friggin dime of reparations. That debt was paid in full (and more) as soon as the ball sailed past Nellie Cruz.

I sense this team is going to be an unpredictable Jeckyll and Hyde - Greek Tragedy suspense thriller.

They'll still be in it down the stretch. There will be unpredictable heroes and goats.

Welcome to "The Box of Chocolate Season."

It will be a thrilling 70 wins.

1st place

They will be out of the race by July.

With Holland now going to the 60-day DL what are the possibilities of Jackson, Gonzalez or Thompson being called up?

I was going to say Jackson & Gonzalez are down the list a bit still. However, looking up Nick Tepesch... he just went down... for likely 6 weeks (elbow).

They've talked about Wandy Rodriguez and Ranaudo. Ranaudo is on the 40. Also Bass could fill a start. They have some days off coming so apparently they really only need to find a pitcher for 1 start over the next couple weeks.

I would expect them to mull over the heap of retreads. I would think they would want to push them out to keep from burning eligibility. When is that... end of May?

Can we please start an official Rangers thread rather than using a game thread from a team we aren't even playing?
