Series Thread: Rangers look to get on track vs rival A's - April 7-9

[DT LUNA]

This team doesn't appear to be ready since the opener.

That was frustrating.

This team looks terrible right now. 1b, catcher, 3b and whoever they put in left not hitting. Banny needs to quit putting a different guy in left everyday. Pick one of the three and let him play for two weeks or longer out there.

I'm not a rooster fan. 3 man platoon is a horrid idea. This is not little league, everyone doesn't get to play.

We're well aware. Is he your new Moreland?

 

[Bmurph]

Just taking the positive road.

Understand, just never did get much going tonight. Graveman throwing 95% FB's must have been real deceiving

No I wouldn't go that far. I think it sucks that the last 2 managers we've had are "players" type managers. I'd rather have a manager whose better at making tactical decisions and good at in game management. Wash and banny are lacking those areas.

I guess you're the bearer of bad news tonight

And no wins by starting pitchers.

It has been an ugly start but they are hitting HR's

And of course hearing TAG saying every 5 mins how the fastball had good movement.

I listened to the new broadcast crew tonight for the first time. I usually watch after the game is over on the MLB at bat app which gives me the option to choose the broadcast of home team or away. I think the Rangers should clean house on the TV side. Nadel is awesome, but I guess he will never make the jump to tv unfortunately. Get rid of everyone on tv and/ or try to convince tag to retire. Everything is stale and I'm not impressed. Honestly, the Rangers TV crew has been terrible since Josh Lewin left. Which is why I always listen to the other teams crew.

On a positive note did you see the lines from Frisco last night?

Mendez went 5 with 2 earned, 1 W/4 K, and Dykstra went 3 with no runs, 0 W and SIX Ks.

 

[donaldson79]

As much as I bad mouthed Busby, we somehow managed to get a guy who is actually worse than he is in one Dave Raymond.

I predict by the AS break we're gonna want to hang this SOB.

And speaking of announcers, whatever became of Dave Barnett?

I have no clue. He probably entered another profession or just retired.
