Series Thread: Rangers Host the Dodgers For Three Games April 18-20

[WastinSomeTime]

How hard is it to figure out that on every single full count pitch that Yamamoto was going to throw a pitch low and out of the strike zone.

 

[saddles]

Our offense makes it very hard to watch the game. They are pitiful, so often.

 

[WastinSomeTime]

I am also ticked off that Milner who had pitched great had his last action on April 13th. Why would Bochy sit him that long.

 

[Kelleyman]

First thought
Bet Leody sits tomorrow and Joc moves down to 6 or 7
Marcus still leads off.
Bochy a little stubborn

Second thought

Watching Bochy interview.
Hate to say it but he might sit Harris

He praised him verbally but his body language did not show enthusiasm for him

I hope this is not the case

Almost every time he sends a guy back out for a second inning, trouble ensues.

Last night loss is on Bochy!! Sticking with Semien at LO and Pederson at #3 is senile. He needs to go.

Pederson now 39 consecutive ABs without a hit and 0-15 with runners in scoring position. No RBIs. His barrel rate is down to 6 percent.
How much longer do you give this guy? Or should I say how much longer does Bochy give him.
I feel bad for the guy but he has probably cost us a game or two. Last night with runners on 2nd and 3rd if he gets a hit it’s probably 2-1 Rangers and we have a good chance of winning. Bochy then would have probably used a combination of Webb and Church to close it out.
No guarantee of a win but my point is he can’t continue to bat in the 3-5 spot or any spot for that matter until he figures things out.

One of the worst slumps I have seen in quite awhile. Makes me think all that noise he was talking after he was acquired should have probably been shelved until there was a reason to talk

I think Nico Harrison must be doing the lineup.

From Tepid:

ICYMI, Davalillo shoved last night for Hub City. I mean, really shoved. 5ip, 0h, 0bb, 9K. He faced only 16 hitters. The only person who reached did so on a WP following a K. Speaking or rarities, Davalillo had the rare 4K inning in the 1st.

 

[saddles]

The Crawdads threw their second team no-hitter of the young season last night, but they lost 1-0.

 

[Duane1952]

Have they called up Langford yet

 

[saddles]

Have they called up Langford yet

It seems they always wait until very last minute to make those announcements.

 

[saddles]

Have they called up Langford yet

No Langford today.

 

[saddles]

 

[saddles]

Something tells me Smith is going to play hurt and not hit as well, then he will be DLed for a longer period.

 

[saddles]

Evan gave this ridiculous answer when asked about why Langford is not playing:

"No. He is here. Rangers have had practice of giving guys a day off between rehab and activation."

That is the silliest policy I have heard of in awhile. He traveled across the metroplex for two days. He doesn't need a day.

 

[saddles]

Davalillo has a 0.79 ERA in his first 3 starts this season.

 

[Duane1952]

Pederson should not be playing. But if they’re going to play him, bat him 9th
