Texas Rangers 2012 Thread

Hambone needs to come out of this funk.

On The Fan Postgame Show last night, someone close to the Rangers told Mike Bacsik that Josh hasn't been living with his family for awhile now and that him and his wife are not on good terms.

Wonder what happened there? Fall out from what happened this off season?

Wonder what happened there? Fall out from what happened this off season?

I found this article.

“There’s so much more involved. I don’t know,” he told the Fort Worth Star-Telegram. “I’m cool, man. I’m really good. The frustrating part is this [dealing with the media] and not being able to share everything with you guys. When the time is right, I’ll be honest with you, you’ll be right in the loop.”

“I’ve been shown a lot of things over the past week,” he said. ”There’s disobedience and there’s obedience to God. I’ve been being disobedient. It may be a small thing to you, but it’s a big thing to him. There’s consequences. It’s like a father and a kid. There are disciplines. You guys can chew on that and think about it.”

“The issue is something that I think Josh would definitely have to be the one to expose, ” Washington told ESPN Radio. “It’s certainly not physical. It has nothing to do with injuries. Josh is the one that made the statement and got all the inquiries going, and I think Josh is the one that has to put a rest to the inquiries, not Ron Washington. I can just tell you one thing: It is not because he’s hurt.”

hmm.i wonder if there is truth to the restroom bar incident,i really dont think we are going to re-sign him.

 

[Mike_45]

Yeah, it would be interesting to see what develops of this. That whole bar/bathroom thing was swept under the rug pretty quick. And now he is playing like he is, he either doesnt get resigned or he gets a very reduced salary.

The whole league knows what he is capable of, but can he keep himself concentrating so he can produce? Or does he get distracted; that will all affect the length of his contract and the money he is able to get. From the Rangers or any one else.

I have no idea what is going on. But I follow Josh on twitter and he posted a pic with his family 15 hours ago.

yeah i saw that too. hopefully everything is good with them and it's just a mental issue w/ josh.

 

[RastaRocket]

I hope he's fine, and I hope he stays in Texas.

 

[Zordon]

where do you guys think josh's value has slipped to? below $20 million and max 5 years?

 

[RastaRocket]

Olt is playing tonight! Awesome.

Not sure about Josh's value, It's going to be high though as somebody will pay.

 

[RastaRocket]

Going to be a lot of runs tonight. The wind is carrying every hit deep.

 

[Mike_45]

Am I seeing things? The Rangers offense is ALIVE!!

 

[Mike_45]

But the pitching is just as awful. BAH

 

[TheCoolFan]

Great. You get Ryan Dempster but Tori Hunter and Pujols have historically owned him throughout his career

And we're owning CJ. Every hit is flying to the wall tonight it's just simply a night where it's going to take a lot of runs. I said it after the top of the first and it's still doing the same.

 

[TheCoolFan]

CJ Wilson has already started to settle down and he still knows this ballpark better than Dempster does. Dempster is looking like a mess out there...they should pull him for the night and let the bullpen take over. He got his first taste of the ballpark, that's enough for now.

Eh Cruz just jacked him. Balls are carrying same story different inning.

 

[Mike_45]

We need to score a touchdown here to support Dempster.

The Texas bullpen is a bit better than the Angels though I think. Both pitchers have high pitch counts at the start of the 5th.

 

[Mike_45]

Hahaha, loved it when CJ got booed, shaking his head, what did he expect. Like a little girl.

 

[masomenos]

Regardless of the final outcome, it has been nice to see the offense wake up over the past two games.
