Not IF, but WHEN.
Cruz hits another hr today. It's gonna suck If he's suspended for the rest of the year.

Cruz is going to accept the 50 game suspension... Well .

That sucks. We might not ever see him play for the rangers again.
I don't think we will either; the tough part now is somehow trying to find a replacement for the lack of runs we're about to go through.
It will be astonishing if the Rangers somehow make the playoffs with all the injuries and now this suspension right as it seems like things were getting back on track... if they get get some good production out of Colby, Feliz, and Harrison, they can still pull off a good run. When healthy, their pitching has been incredible this year, and should only improve with these three guys returning.
I would feel pretty good going into the post season with a starting pitching rotation of Darvish, Holland, Garza, and whomever is most productive out of Colby/Feliz/Harrison/Ogando, and a bullpen of whomever is left of those guys, along with Scheppers, Cotts, and Nathan.
Hitting from here on out is pretty much dependent on the production of Andrus, Murphy, and Moreland. If they can break out of their slumps, the Rangers have a solid chance to make the playoffs still. Which over the past few games, it seems like they have all stepped up a bit.
Losing Cruz hurts bad...If Berkman wasn't a TOSB I wouldn't be worried. Hopefully Engel Beltre gets called up and plays decently. Thank God we have Leonys Martin.
At least he'll be eligible for postseason play. Their schedule isn't all that tough; if they can find a way to keep scoring runs and their pitching picks it up (or holds steady at where it's been the past 6 games) they'll make it.
I wasn't aware he was eligible for postseason play. That's a weird loophole, but it could be huge in the scheme of things.
Andrus with the 2run triple! Rangers up 3 - 1.
Nice win over the angels. Rangers within 2 games of Oakland.
Me either, is that for sure?
It's not a loophole. There are 50 games between the date of his suspension, and the postseason. So if the Rangers make the postseason, his time will have been served, and his eligibility is reinstated just in time for the postseason.
Right, this is probably one of the reasons Cruz is not appealing - go ahead and get the suspension out of the way so that he can play in the postseason.
Wow - didn't even think of that; that's huge IF in fact we make the playoffs. Hopefully Profar and Martin keep it up - Harrison, Lewis, and Feliz will be huge too.
All set to return mid August. One of the FSSW TV reporters said this is the best Rangers pitching staff of all time and it's hard to argue.
Colby Lewis done for the season with bone spurs....

Welp, it's all up to Harrison. If he can't be the Rangers #4 at least, they weren't gonna do anything in the postseason anyway.
That sucks. No Cruz or Lewis.Colby Lewis done for the season with bone spurs....

May have seen the last of Lewis since he's a free agent after this season. I'm anxious to see Feliz back on the mound tbh we all know what Harry can do.
Sucks about Colby, but if Harrison and Feliz turn out fine, its not much of a blow at all. Both are capable of being far better pitchers than Colby, especially Feliz.
Crofl
Frieri
Only 1 game behind the A's!
god damn, Frieri has fallen off a cliff since he left the Padres. Whenever he pitches against the Rangers we can count on a win.
