Rangers vs. A's game thread

Hey Will, you should do the math. If a team goes 5-5 or 6-4 every ten games equally throughout the season how many games will they win?

I made a math error. Shocking, but true. Don't have time to fix it. Have to speed back to work.

After a 15-4 start, you have to figure there's going to be some stat corrections. The shitty part is it's coming during a relatively easy part of our schedule.

Heard a stat on the radio going home this afternoon. Young was 0 for 6 today and has 8 hits in his last 54 at bats. That's hitting .148 over the last 9 or so games. 9 games is a long time to be in a slump that bad. You can't have that in the top half of the batting order for very long.

I'm pretty sure he's batting under .200 in the past 30 days or so. He's chasing a lot of bad pitches, not drawing walks, and he seems to have lost some bat speed. I'm sure he'll start playing better(he was playing really well the first 15 games of the year), but honestly I don't expect him to bat .300 this season.
