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

So what’s the story on Duran? Gets pulled last night and not playing today. Hurt?

No idea.

Garcia needs to hit further down.

You were reading my mind. I would like to see Garver in the 4th spot. I don’t think Bochy will do it

Maybe Bochy is going to go with a platoon at 3B. I guess Duran going 0 for his last 11 means there will be consequences.

The bottom 5 of the Twins are batting .223 or below. None of those guys should be walked.

Wow what a great snag by Semian. Thought for sure that ball was going into center field

Both are 0fer's might as well.

Odor... er, I mean,Taveras, is heating up again.

 

[fanman8825]

Gray has pitched well lately and deserves better. Noticed his velocity is back up to 97 or so

 

[DT LUNA]

Garcia plz, Wal Mart needs you.

 

[WilltheThrill]

Garcia needs to be benched. It’s not even funny anymore. He is hurting this team worse than any other player. He’s batting like .150 over the last month, and he’s our cleanup hitter. I would take anyone on the roster over him right now. Even Josh Smith has a better approach at the plate. Garcia is just guessing and doing it poorly.

Probably just because he's awful

 

[saddles]

Leiter and Owen White both pitch today.

Porter pitched today, as well

Here we go again get the first two batters to 2nd and 3rd with no outs and no production.

Can’t even hit a basic fly ball to the outfield to bring in 1.

It has become a Rangers trademark. Think opposing pitchers just relax because they know the next 3 Rangers are just going to weakly ground out

 

[WilltheThrill]

Gray has been outstanding

 

[DT LUNA]

And now it begins.

 

[Senator_fan]

Stop walking people.

 

[scotsman1948]

Gray has been outstanding

And then gives up a 3-run homer
