Rangers vs. Red Sox

[romeo212000]

Josh... If you run that out you're probably safe. There's a clubhouse problem with this team and IMO it starts with Ron Washington. We gotta get rid of him.

How many damn grounballs are we going to hit to 3b. Between last nite and tonite I cant keep count

 

[romeo212000]

I dont think Wash survives with an early exit in the playoffs.

I just don't see this team getting to another WS let alone winning it with him at the helm. I just hope the FO sees it before its too late.

Yep I felt the same way about Kinsler last nite not running hard on a grounder

jesus, thats a popup anywhere else

I just think Ron has lost the clubhouse and I understand why. If I was a player in that clubhouse I wouldn't respect him.

I know... Again. I hate this park.

Ron Washington was the manager of the Rangers for 2 trips to the Series. He does deserve some credit for that. And Wash can't make Yu or Holland throw strikes. And he certainly can't make MY be a better hitter or fielder at this point in his career.

But his recent lineups and his public "undressing" of players are 2 very ominous signs going forward. Napoli mashes at Fenway, and is 6-10 with 2 HRs off Lester, but he sits. Gentry has been a huge catalyst for our offense and hits lefties better than righties, but he sits. Kinsler is finally getting his bat going, but he sits. MY is looking at career lows all across his offensive numbers, and he plays, every single day.

And now he publicly criticizes Andrus and Oswalt. Regardless of their actions, Wash knows that those are things you handle behind closed doors. He KNOWS that.

Something is very amiss in that locker room right now. Wash has one job as the manager of the team: Put out the most capable team of winning a baseball game that particular day, and make wise, well-reasoned in-game decisions to further improve your team's chances of winning said game. He needs to be held accountable for not doing these things on a nightly basis, but he's not.

Soto will probably catch every game that Dempster pitches the rest of the way and Wash USUALLY he wouldn't play one of his 2 catchers at DH the same game, but I don't know where that managerial gem came from last night

Just kind of ignoring last night, I'm ok with Napoli on the bench tonight while Demster is on the mound

One of your very few very well thought out posts. You hit the nail right on the head and I'm sick of this crap. And with Evan Grant leading the dfw media charge wash isn't getting called out on any of his bs.

Dempster not getting the same strikes Lester is.

I don't live in the DFW area anymore. Is there anybody that covers the Rangers who is willing to ask the hard questions? I know they want as much access to the team. I get that. But after each game isn't there somebody that asks questions about the particulars of that game that would be able to ask some of the lineup questions we as fans all have? What about Durrett? Or does he have to play nice as well to keep his access?

 

[fanman8825]

Nice inning for Dempster. Really locating his pitches

I have no clue, I dont live there either, but someone needs to ask the tough and obvious questions right now

I just dont see Durrett asking those questions.

Bad call by Anderson, Murphy would've made it easy

 

[romeo212000]

No. Nobody holds Wash's feet to the fire. Evan Grant leads the dfw media charge and he's nothing but a glorified cheerleader.

 

[jaar01]

3rd base coach having a rough week.

Agree, but I don't blame Anderson for playing it safe. We're just not hitting right now.
