Rangers @ San Francisco

[Xx srs bsns xX]

his BAA at home is also a .199

just sayin...

 

[Xx srs bsns xX]

The 0-1 count is his worst. Hitters are hitting in the .300's
(it tales off from there)
oh, and on 3-2 counts...he usually ends up walking the batter. (according to baseball-reference)

Beltre is some kind of awful right now.

Could be said about 1/2 the hitters right about now...

i could be wrong, but the replay on that popup showed hamilton was about a quarter of the way down the line when crawford dropped that ball. then crawford booted it towards first base about 30 feet. knowing hamiltons speed, if he takes off full speed as soon as crawford drops the ball he is safe. like i said, i might be wrong. thoughts?

 

[romeo212000]

Fuck. Way to play the wall Nelly.

Depends on how far he went back when the camera cut to the play.
But my thinking was the same as yours... thought he could have at least made a "play" out of it...

 

[elziegreat42]

wow, i looked at some of the rockies pitchers era's and they all look like high interest rates...

Multiple rangers players look to be mailing it in right now.

this team seems like they need a spark right now. i think early in the season darvish provided them that spark along with trying to erase the memory of game 6. maybe oswalt will bring a spark to this team. if you are a championship calibur team you shouldnt need a spark, but this team needs something for sure. i dont wanna say a trade is necessary for that spark, but something needs to wake them from this self-induced coma.

Very disturbing. Perhaps N.Ryan needs to have a talk with Wash

i hate to make a cowboys analogy here, but the following may apply.....when parcells took over the first season the cowboys played over there head and made the playoffs because he was a strict tactician and wasnt trying to make friends. this was the same when buck came in and took over for the rangers, they played over their heads and won 89 games. buck was also a strict tactician like parcells. eventually, both of these coaching styles wore thin and the rangers and cowboys regressed.

then the cowboys hired wade philips and they were a powerhouse. well, until the playoffs, but i digress.....wade was a players coach and the opposite coaching style played a large part in the difference of the 2 styles. eventually though the lack of discipline doomed the cowboys and they were awful. then the rangers hired wash, the ultimate players coach, like wade, and they have been unbelievable.

the cowboys then went back to the strict tactician style of coaching with garrett and they have been at least better.

and finally my point is maybe the rangers undisciplined play can be attributed to the lack of discipline they face. and perhaps, this team needs a strict discipline oriented manager to get their heads screwed back on. sorry for the novel, just something to think about.

the rangers have more errors than hits....

What did he do?

Thats a great analogy and very well said. Know many on this board have issues with Wash with his in game management. He did not really bother me untill the World series when he put in D.Oliver in the 10th. Was so upset with that and the way we lost that I could not even get my head on straight for game 7. This year I really paid more attention to Wash's moves. I now see what many of you are talking about and it just seems to come down to the little things with him. There has been weay too many bone-headed plays in this bad stretch of 19-20. Not going to hold him accountable for the injuries to the pitchers but its just the way the team looks so flat at times.

What did he do?

Just not pleased with him right now. He is starting to get to me like has with many of you
