They can trade Hammels at the deadline too.

man this team is painful to watch this series

 

[Duane1952]

These batting averages are pathetic.

It's not just this series. If they lose tonight, it will be the third time they have been swept already this year.

Might be time to consider getting Chirinos some DH opportunities, especially against LHPs

Let me add, this would require another catcher option on the bench, and possibly sending down Profar now that he's probably lost a good number of the LF ABs to Rua

Nap

Nap and Choo showing their age and Gallo maturing. Funny how things turn. Hope we can get the old guys to turn is around

 

[BULLPEN FAILURE]

how long are we in on Nap?

Hey I don't think with w one year contract only guaranteed that any loyalty is owed but you like to show some patience. May 1st may be a day of some changes.

 

[DT LUNA]

Hasn't mattered what line up we send out, the result has been the same

 

[Duane1952]

If Guzman keeps hitting at Round Rock, I wonder if they will consider calling him up this year.

I think Nap is done. Doesn't look like he can catch up to the fastball anymore.

That would be 3 sweeps in one month after getting swept out of the playoffs last year. I'm thinking it might be time to blow it up and rebuild. The only hope I have is that Beltre comes back and it jumpstarts things. Not likely, but it's possible I guess.

I remember in the 2010 and 2011 years the team hardly ever got swept. They usually would win at least one game in a series. Not used to seeing this team getting swept and so frequently.

 

[Kelleyman]

Choo out even batting 9th. Real holes in lineup currently

 

[Nightcrawler]

The twinkies really love playing the Rangers

Very boring series....

 

[Duane1952]

Pitiful Nap.

 

[RevSader]

If napoli were a horse they would have shot him...

 

[Duane1952]

Finally. Thanks Odor.

 

[BULLPEN FAILURE]

Attaboy, Roog!

 

[Kelleyman]

Smart full count swing by Odor. Encouraging
