rangers vs. rays

If he improves that change a little more he can be good

He's already good bud. He's looking to make that jump to elite.

So frustrating. I know Olt's better than this, but when you only get in the lineup twice every ten days it's tough to do much good in the batters box.

yep, thats why it's almost better to have left him in double A. JD cant be to happy that he's not getting many at bats when he brought him up to get at bats

He shows flashes of brilliance, but I think everyone can agree the problem with Holland is consistency. He needs to get to where he go six or seven innings and hold a team to 3 or 4 runs on those bad days, because we've all seen what he can do on his good ones.

The next two innings are going to be huge for Derek, because Price looks like he is settling in

Agreed. Especially after all that talk from Wash of "we didn't bring him here to sit".

Nevermind i shouldnt of said anything -.-

He looks to me like he's picking up right where he left off down the stretch last year. Very consistent after finally getting over that intestinal virus.

Dammit.

Jinxed.

Just very frustrating when you got 5 runs on David Price

Yeah, I hear ya. I was just looking for a scapegoat. I don't really blame you, Fanman.

 

[Hambombs]

Pitches to
Upton and zobrist werent bad

Holland has great stuff. But he has the mental focus of a 3 year old. You score 5 on Price, the likely CY winner, and your supposed lefty with great stuff is facing a below average lineup, you better win. Unless its Derek Holland, who's more interested in his twitter account and his impressions than becoming a grown man major league pitcher. What a total waste of talent.

I thought you were fuck off when it was "over" in the second inning.

I remember holland getting compared to cliff lee. In that lee didnt break out until his prime

 

[Swami]

To be fair Price has a 5.22 career ERA against us coming into this game. Maybe Holland was unimpressed that we scored five runs on him yet again.

Well if he pitches a good 6th thats 3 earned in 6 innings which is not bad

Yeah Swami just when you think Derek is turning it around he struggles. Hopefully our bats continue to roll tonite

 

[elziegreat42]

leadoff hitter on, lets get the lead back......again

 

[elziegreat42]

price has only thrown 64 pitches and given up 5 runs
