Series Thread: RANGERS vs BOSOX 4/7-4/9

Why are we not pinch hitting for Murphy?


I guess that's why. LOL

 

[BLeslie59Rangers]

Well..... Scheppers looked decent and we have Perez on the mound tomorrow. About the only positives I see right now.


I really feel like as soon as Prince starts hitting the line-up will follow.

Choo has been worth his contract so far. Rios and Andrus have been good offensively...and that may about do it

 

[BLeslie59Rangers]

Score a couple runs here and give that bum Uehara a little scare...but of course not...

 

[Justinkm83]

So....all we need is every starter to shutout the opponent.

Want to hear something funny? Arencibia has a .188 SLG % and is out slugging Prince.

That's not funny......

Some crack pot managing from our fearless leader again...

No it is not but it's pitiful tho.

I'll give this group at least 20 games before I start to point fingers but this is JD's team and this is his team to live or die bye, but good lord, this is a repeat of last year but worse

:rollseyes:

Man, that's another tough one. I can take losing and I expect the pitching to struggle some but there is really not a lot of excuses for the offense and defense not producing. We have actually got a lot of production out of 2B offensively and even if we had Soto, he wouldn't be too much better offensively than what we have now. Although, JPA is pretty tough to watch on defense as well. I rally thought we would pound Lackey harder- typically we do.

I expected the first month or so to be tough b/c of so many injuries in the rotation but getting pitching back won't matter much if we don't play defense and can't put productive innings together on offense. Hopefully Fielder will come around soon and the defense will wake up soon.

 

[romeo212000]

Fielder and Beltre are killing us........ For now.

 

[elziegreat42]

Out of curiosity, is Fielder typically a slow starter?

Are you talking about him bringing in Pedro and Rosin in a 1 run game? Or the fact that he brought Rosin back out and didn't have anybody ready in time to face Nava?

 

[TheRangerDude]

I disagree. This would be JD's team if Holland, Lewis ,Harrison Soto and Profar were not recovering from injuries. Have you not been paying attention. We have been hanging in pretty good with what we have to play with.

Honestly, its JDs team no matter who is injured. It's his job to make to prepare for injuries and add depth too. But to his credit it is pretty tough to make up for losing two of your top rotation guys. So far, the moves he made a 2B seem to be working but the addition of JPA to back up Soto might be a little questionable but he had also been a starter himself and the market for C beyond McCann wasn't to much better.


I'll wait to judge JD on this team after 162 games though... not 20... that's only 12% of the season.

Wilson has been hitting as well but just plays every other game.

Dioner Navarro was the one to sign. I wanted us to get him as soon as FA started.

Yes. And letting JP hit with a chance to go ahead and leaving choice and adduci on the bench.

You missed the point. JD put together a good team with intentions of fielding them all healthy. Sure he is responsible b/c the buck stops w/ him. 2B/ C are killing us and Profar and Soto will be a definite improvement when returning. This team tonight was never envisioned by JD therefore I can't tag him w/ the unknown. Now his mgr is a different story.

 

[romeo212000]

Not to mention guys, Beltre and Fielder are killing us right now. That's not on JD.
