I can't believe they can't score A run. They are wasting Darvish. If they trade Nathan, the season is done. They might as well toss inn the towel.

5 games back now. Will they be able to turn it around in the next two months? Will they do anything in the next three days? Was the Garza trade the right move (rhetorical)? People keep touting the Rangers farm system as one of the best in the league. If that's true, bring some of them up. Certainly there's a few out there who could actually hit a baseball when it matters. None on this current roster seem to possess that skill.

Cruz will probably be suspended this week. I doubt he appeals as he is a free agent at seasons end so its in his best interest to serve out a 50 game ban and ride his stats to a new contract next year. The Rangers are in some serious trouble. Reports are Manny at Round Rock wont help. Scouts say his bat speed is slow and his age has caught up to him

[Geor!]

19 straight scoreless innings now.

This team is in real trouble

The only difference between the Rangers and a glass of whole milk is the milk will eventually give me RUNS!

The sky is falling! The sky is falling!

Please convince us otherwise.

I can't.......

What sucks is the Rangers traded 3 prospects for a rental pitcher who may not even factor into the postseason. Plus, now they are talking of trading Nathan? If Nathan had been pitching Game 6 of the World Series against the Cards, we would have probably won the series.

The difference now, we have some really good pitchers, it's our offense that's stinking up the place.

do what?!?! Feliz wasn't the problem, the problem was Cruz not standing 10 feet further back from where he was. He was way too shallow on that play

lol. The rangers are getting beat on the field and on the street! Too bad they can't lie about the field part.

Rangers reliever Tanner Scheppers told reporters he was sucker-punched by a group of males after having dinner on Thursday night in Cleveland, thus explaining his suddenly-bruised left eye and the cuts on his face. But that might not be the actual story.

A witness to Scheppers’ supposed sucker punch told Clevescene.com that the incident happened at 2:30 a.m. — not anywhere near dinner time — and that Scheppers was accompanied by teammates Joe Nathan and A.J. Pierzynski, along with “a bunch of girls.” Scheppers, according to the witness, was a “verbal instigator” and there was some jawing back and forth for a few minutes before a punch got thrown.

“He lost a bar fight,” the witness, whose exact level of involvement is unclear, explained to Vince Grzegorek of Clevescene.com on Sunday morning. “He had 10 chances to walk away before this happened.”

The 6-foot-4 right-hander will undoubtedly have to field questions about this account of the incident on Sunday evening, after the Rangers wrap up their weekend series against the Indians at Progressive Field.

Scheppers, 26, has an impressive 1.74 ERA and 1.07 WHIP in 46 2/3 innings of relief this season.

UPDATE, 5:21 p.m. ET: Here’s a statement from the Cleveland Police, via the Dallas Morning News:

“The preliminary investigation reveals that on Friday, July 26, at approximately 2:30 a.m. Texas Ranger pitcher Tanner Scheppers was involved in a physical altercation at Panini’s Bar located on W. 6th Street. Further investigation reveals that the altercation was called in by Downtown Alliance workers and that Third District officers responded to the scene to investigate. Once on scene officers attempted to get information from Scheppers for a report however, he refused to provide information and refused to make a police report. Further, officers called for EMS and he refused medical attention and EMS was disregarded. The officers then conveyed Scheppers and another male to the Ranger’s team hotel.”
