Series Thread: Rangers Travel to LAA for Three Games September 25-27

With that said, Canning is no slouch. His ERA and WHIP aren’t the greatest, but he’s got nasty strikeout stuff. He’s almost a 10 k per 9 inning pitcher for his career.

Mariners have jumped out to an early 1-0 lead on Framber.

Dunning doing a good job but a 1-run lead ain’t going to cut it

We need to score. It is good we're running his pitch count up, at least.

Amazing how these guys can score double digits one night and stain their shorts the next

 

[armadillooutlaw]

Garcia with the solo bomb.

 

[WilltheThrill]

What an at-bat by Adolis!!! Worked him for 9 pitches then took him deep.

 

[DT LUNA]

HR El Bombi

You talking about LA right? Cuz we just scored.

Canning 71 pitches through 3 innings.

Not LA. 1run is far from dbl digits.

Dude's an absolute stud. He can single-handedly take over a game.

Need a popup or K here

The offense is definitely inconsistent, but I'm not ready to complain yet. 2 runs through 3 innings isn't bad and we already have their SP at 71 pitches.
The dam is bound to break for LA.

Dane takes Adolis off the hook.

Dunning got out of the jam. Nice.

 

[WilltheThrill]

What an inning by Dunning! Garcia commits the error to get the runner to 3rd with 0 outs, and Dane keeps them off the scoreboard. Impressive.

 

[armadillooutlaw]

I'm calling a Carter HR in this inning.

 

[WilltheThrill]

Adolis reminds me a LOT of Nelson Cruz. Cruz could either be the most dominant hitter in the American League or an automatic out, depending on what kind of streak he was on. I remember him being flat-out awful before the playoffs and people were calling for him to be benched. Then he went totally crazy against Detroit and carried them to the next round.

Good comp. It gets frustrating when he's in a funk, but he's so good when he's on that he can put the team on his back sometimes.
