Series Thread: Phillies at Rangers (3/31-4/2)

[WilltheThrill]

Haha! Love seeing the dejected looks on the face of the Philly trash in the stands after watching that d-bag Papelbon blow it.

Does anyone look better than JD when the two big off-season additions walk it off in back to back day!?!?!? 2 out of 3 with all the injuries...that really helps this team more than tread water the first month!

haha dont make his head too big... everyone on this board was begging for us to sign choo and trade for a bat!

 

[BLeslie59Rangers]

Holy crap!!! I turned off the game to get ready to hit the sack, thinking this game was over! And wow!! ...and I missed it!

Ross got 5 innings in and a bullpen of almost no names allowed no more. Nice to win this series considering all this team has had to go thru.

 

[DT LUNA]

I'm thrilled to death with these guys so far. Choo has be instrumental so far, Martin has been great. Moreland has gotten some big hits and aside from game one the pitching has been nice. Very pleased with Ross tonight.

Two nights of just exciting/ winning BB.

Does Donnie Murphy reminded anyone besides me of Mark Walhberg?

I was thinking Donnie wahlberg myself, but I didn't mention it. Also, Papelbon looks like Ritchie Incognito a little

 

[romeo212000]

Just a heads up Moreland, we win both of these games partially bc of him

Exactly. He's had some bad at bats, but he's had done huge hits too. He really got around on that last hit. If Moreland continues this Choice will have to get his bats against lefties and when giving other outfielders a day off.

 

[terpsfball09]

Moreland has been alright, but I still want to see Choice get a whole game of AB's to see if he makes adjustments

He actually reminds me more of Donnie Wahlberg

One thing I'm liking about this team so far, they seem to rise in the big moments.

 

[terpsfball09]

If the offense can carry this inexperienced pitching staff that will be so huge this month

 

[WastinSomeTime]

I like that OF bench we have with Choice and Adduci. The rest of the bench will look much better when Soto and Profar are back. Man, I don't know what Martin is doing different but he is having one good at bat after another right now. And Moreland hit the ball well. Even one of his outs was hit well.

 

[Justinkm83]

They might have gone to the mound to talk about the scouting report on Adduci, but I don't think they knew he could fly. 3rd baseman had a much better chance to get Beltre at home. Thanks though

As long as Moreland continues to contribute like he has thus far he will, abd should be in against right handers. Choice will get some full games against lefties abd when giving outfielders time off. This of course is ask dependent on Mitch continuing to hit.

 

[terpsfball09]

Angels losing again... I hate the angels but I'm starting to wonder if seattle is gonna be a bigger threat than I thought

I was seeing Donnie in my head. But it's a mental block that I say Mark regardless of which Walhberg brother I'm talking about.

Another thing to consider is this team is further away from the 2011 team. We kind of saw that with the Mavs when slowly but surely the main guys from 2006 were pretty much gone by 2010 and we saw what happened in 2011. Not saying the same will happen here but that baggage from that loss is being replaced by new guys with none of that on their minds.

As do I, but when its the right situation... like opening day

 

[WastinSomeTime]

He will when we face a lefty. But I have no complaints with Moreland after game 1. We don't win this game without what he and Martin did along with the pen.

Having Adduci on the bench is a huge help. We brought two quality batters off the bench tonight in key situations. That's nice.
