Series Thread: Rangers Host the Twins for Three Games September 1-3

Uncle Eph is not happy with you Nate.

Maybe he realizes he doesn’t have a real bullpen

Hope he realizes his own front office didn’t do nearly enough at the deadline to fix the bullpen.

That's ok. They traded Ragans for Chapman...who's pretty much awful at his job at this point...just like Chris Young

 

[Bmurph]

I know Duran has been bad this game and lately but this is the stupidest fucking move ever

 

[DT LUNA]

DFA Smith immediately

If I’m Ray Davis, I’m not happy with CY for his choice of bullpen pitchers or manager.

Funny, we were all happy with him a few months ago

I was ok with Stratton but CY just didn’t do enough. Clearly Chapman is no longer dependable and to acquire him for Ragan’s is what really hurts

You should see how little they did regarding the offense

Can't get too mad at Nate, the team is out of it so his stupidity isn't hurting anything

No one's getting fired for this disaster. Yes the Rangers are in the middle of another late summer epic collapse, but they didn't expect to contend this year.

However the collapse is becoming historic, even for the Rangers, and the off-season can't get here soon enough. What a train wreck.

Bochy isn’t managing a bullpen, he’s managing an arson squad.

Yeah Hedges.lol

How is the collapse historic? Their biggest lead was 5 games I think, and that was months ago.

Looks like the honeymoon Bochy had with Duran is over. Smith has warning track power for the most part too.

 

[Senator_fan]

It looks pretty grim now but over 25% of the games left are with the Mariners including 7 out of the last 10.

 

[Kelleyman]

Well I do blame Bochy to some degree

Bradford was -00^ better option than the wild Chapman who should never save a game or pitch extras. Use him before that.

I would have put Jonah in to hit for Duran or JPM who looks overmatched by MLB ball. He can bunt.

Ultimately players don’t get it done but…. And those strikeouts vs Twins just getting the bat in the ball.

Need a better feel for the club. Montgomery was off. Maybe bring Bradford in then to flip the lineup

Historic in the sense they went from a consensus top 5 team in mlb earlier this summer to now being arguably the worst team in all of baseball. Right now they wouldn't win 2 of 3 against anyone. Not KC. Not Oakland. Not Colorado. Nobody.

Good reminder that it's gonna get worse, thanks

No one in their right mind thinks "power rankings" in May or June mean anything.
