There is simply no excuse.

like i posted a little while ago the next 3 or 4 days are going to be killers for the Rangers especially pitching. they will probably have to DFA Arihara and bring in either Winn or White and they may have to option 1 or 2 relievers and add a like number just have fresh arms

If he has to pick a game to throw away he should not pick a weekend home game.

Teams have had double headers on the schedule lots of times without the manager simply throwing in the towel for a game leading up to it..

4 games in 24-hours?

Probably because of the schedule after this series. Guessing

You don’t leave him in there to give up 11 runs.

The Airihara debachle is waying heavy on the game as we pull within 4

I always wonder what is going through the players on the field when a pitcher is left in the game and it seems like the towel has been thrown in.

 

[saddles]

We are going to need to score a dozen runs.

Yep.

 

[Bmurph]

So I didnt get to watch but it seemed Bubba was having an ok night at the plate and the game was out of hand, the moment they decided to start Arihara. When you are trying to see what the young guys can do, why would you PH Kole for Bubba? That is BS. Let the kid hit, I want to see what he can do there.

From Gamecast it looks like this game was managed by a 6 year old soccer player.

We are going to need to score a dozen runs.

You were correct

 

[Bmurph]

Taveras 0-5 and the only Ranger without a hit besides Calhoun that was HBP in his only AB, hitting for Bubba.

Allard could replace Arihara: likely some improvement but definitely not a solution

A blind three legged donkey could replace Airihara
You're right. Allard is a little better but not the solution.

 

[saddles]

They do get to bring up an extra pitcher for the Doubleheader. Roster size will expand by one.

 

[saddles]

They set themselves up for guys like Arihara and Keuchel pitching by deciding to not let Burke, King or Allard start for the team this year.

Oh well, it will be over soon.

 

[saddles]

The 8 strikeouts from the heart of the lineup was a killer too. 13 strikeouts in all.

At least we got 6 hits, including 2 doubles and a HR, from the bottom 4 in the lineup. That will make for a great game most of the time.

 

[saddles]

Crim and Zavala each had a HR tonight for Frisco.

Kelly came in in relief and gave up 3 runs in 2.1 innings. He probably doesn't need protection for Rule 5 this winter.
