Rangers vs. A's - Battle for the West

[1502tuley]

It's looked that way lately.

Yep, other teams put their rookies in there and they go five innings and give up three runs. we put our highly touted rookies in there and they give up three singles, a double, a tripple and five runs while only securing one out.

In 2010 TEX had HFA vs NYY.

NYY was the WC and beat MIN #2 in the ALDS while TEX the #3 beat TBR the #1. TEX, therefore, had HFA in the ALCS beating NYY in 6 games ... not 5.

I stand corrected because we beat NY at there place in games 3 and 4 against Pettite and Hughes

No scheppers. Only our hitters swing at pitches that bounce off home plate.

Holly shit, Josh didn't miss that gound ball.

Actually, when this thing gets out of hand, I'd put Hamilton on the mound. And then let Cruz relieve him. Maybe they both blow their arms out. At least one. I kid you not. This team gets better the moment either one of them is off this team.

Of course I'm joking. But Wash has to somehow get through this game without torching our pen. I mean 4 pitchers in the first 3 innings. That is unbelievable.

Hope Harry's prepared to throw 120 pitches tomorrow cause he's not coming out early.

Scheppers looks as useless as Lowe.

 

[1502tuley]

7 runs and 9 hits through 3 innings. That's pathetic!

This is brutal to watch. The players we have out there is like the division is locked up already

How about a better idea if this gets out of hand. Let mark Lowe finish up the game

Making this division race more interesting than it needs to be.

 

[1502tuley]

Well, if we can salvage a win tomorrow we will still be in pretty good shape. Now that all assumes we can get our shit together for the LAA series. Although that's a huge assumption given this team's recent performance.

 

[romeo212000]

Night everybody!

 

[jaar01]

We lose tomorrow and we lose the division. Take that to the bank. Guaranteed.

Was wondering when someone was gonna say it. I'm tired of calling it out. Nice to see someone else get fed up with it.

Sometimes I think our young arms are more hype than pitching ability.

In all fairness ... none of the young guys who have pitched tonight were supposed to have to be pitching right now.

But I know what you mean ... not just pitchers though ... have been a slew of hyped position players who didn't work out ... for TEX.

Speaking of which ... CD 2HR 5RBI tonight.

If its working. Don't blame Parker. Blame our dumbass hitters.

 

[Hambombs]

Say if we lose tomorrow. That puts us 2 games back if we can survive l.a without losing ground we just need to win 1
