Left coast swing commences.....LAA 8/21-24

What's the difference? They both suck.

The thinking is Martinez sucks less

The way Ross his pitching, I'll take Nick. You need the pitcher that can give you more than 4 innings. Ross hasn't been doing that more than once or twice

In AAA NM is a good pitcher. He doesn't have a pitch to put ML batters away. Ross is still recovering from his surgery, but is a much better pitcher. I would give the next guy in line behind NM an opportunity. I know how this ends.

Royals lost, and Twins are down 5-1. We pick up a game on the top 3 with a W tonight!

Meh, anything can happen if you get to the playoffs, but a wild card berth does nothing to excite me

if 2015 and 2016 doesn't see them get out of the ALDS, don't see how 2017 will be different. but, it is baseball, and anything can happen in the postseason.

Just the thought of Rangers vs. Darvish in the WS gets me excited. Highly unlikely, yes, but baseball is a strange game.

Crazy ass game in Detroit today.

Rangers can gain ground on a ton of teams with a W tonight.

Way beyond strange.

Alright Martin, time for a DP ball.

 

[Nightcrawler]

I like that Robinson kid better than Hoying and Rua at least.

He did well yesterday and has a big hit tonight so far. I hope Banny can find ways to get him into the line up without taking too much time away from deshields / mazara.

AJ Alexy who we got from the Dodgers threw 6 scoreless. 2 hits, 1BB, and 8ks

 

[Justinkm83]

Not a fan of this move

Not looking good.

 

[Justinkm83]

Get him out of there. Three run lead and walks the first 2. Trash

 

[Duane1952]

Pujols helped Grilli out there.

Pujols helped Grilli out there.

Yeah he did. Whew. I did not want to see Valbuena pinch hitting.

 

[Duane1952]

Win and series win.

 

[Nightcrawler]

Fun series

Next up is Oakland. A lot of bad memories at the coliseum.

Oakland has nothing to play for. The Rangers need to stay hungry and win this series.

Bumgarner? Sale? Why there's no excuse for Rangers not to open new stadium with revamped pitching
