Rangers vs. Yankees - Game 1

[1502tuley]

Two pathetic efforts in the same play. Nap jogs to the ball and Andrus can't catch a ball that my 7 year old would have caught.

 

[jta4437]

Don't care about Napoli there after the initial bobble, got to it in plenty of time and made an accurate throw, all on Andrus there

Not a good night for Holland, all over the place, this is old Holland at his "finest"

 

[1502tuley]

It's not a good night for anyone on the Ranger's roster. Just about the only bright spot has been Hamilton's play in center.

 

[1502tuley]

What the FUCK is Wash thinking, sending Holland back out with 100 pitches, after getting rocked all game long.

LF? Gentry's playing CF

 

[Mo_Cutter]

Ron Washington is a fucking moron. Why would he let Holland pitch to Derek there?

Sorry, I stand corrected on his location, I meant Hamilton all the same.

 

[Mo_Cutter]

*free bat

 

[Lukawren24]

Hambone is simply amazing right now.

 

[1502tuley]

THe new bat seems to work just fine.

 

[Mo_Cutter]

Hambone is simply amazing right now.

Only Kemp is better at the game and that's only because he can steal.

 

[1502tuley]

Holland deserved all of that loss. He was complete shit from the first pitch.

 

[Mo_Cutter]

Yankees win... Yankees win... theeeeeeeeeeee Yankees win!

Bound to have a bad night eventually

Yep.

It still sucks for his outing to be so bad though. It was also frustrating that Wash didn't give us a chance by putting in a differnt pitcher when it was obvious that Holland didn't have ANY of his pitches tonight. At some point, Wash will realize that you have to become an in-game manager and actually pull some strings when things just aren't working.

I think sometimes wash takes the whole Nolan Ryan method of making your pitchers go longer too far. It's one thing to push a guy another inning or two if he's going good, but damn, holland just never had it tonight.

Wednesday will pretty much be a bullpen game guys. Wash couldn't afford to blow up the bullpen.

This. We all knew we weren't going to go 159-3. As long as the losses are to good teams, and not the cellar dwellars (like the Angels ) I'm ok with it. Pitchers will have off nights, hitters and fielders too. As for letting Holland stay out there, I guess he was saving the bullpen since he knows he is stealing on from them in a few nights.

edit: I see above that romeo already said my bullpen point. doh

I could see Feldman going a solid 6 "easily" though
