Series Thread: Your Texas Rangers at the Oakland A's

[Bmurph]

You guys realize we've won 8 of the last 10?

Saw that on the post game show, pretty good little run here. Lets keep it going today. Got Gray pitching on my fantasy team, hope he gets lit up. HAHA

 

[Bmurph]

Not sure if this was already mentioned but Chirinos is starting today's game as well.

Sarcasm maybe?

Not sarcasm. He was using a different definition of 'bunting'.

bun·ting [buhn-ting]
noun
1. a coarse, open fabric of worsted or cotton for flags, signals, etc.
2. patriotic and festive decorations made from such cloth, or from paper, usually in the form of draperies, wide streamers, etc., in the colors of the national flag.
3. flags, especially a vessel's flags, collectively.

Got it. Fooled us all probably. Good one.

It was sarcasm in response to Romeo's comment about limited bunting situations.

Neftali Feliz (general soreness/fatigue) has left Triple A Round Rock and is working out in Arlington. #Rangers expect him to return "soon."

Kinda worried about this boy!

You mean like calling for that train wreck of a safety squeeze in the top of the 9th with the team's hottest hitter up to bat and one of its slowest runners on 3rd? If Wilson and Choice don't come through with back-to-back hits and bail out that sorry call, it's only 7 out of 10 games. Wash will gamble right on one of those now and then and super fans come out of the woodwork to praise him, conveniently forgetting the other numerous times it blew up in his face.

Wash has the team playing for one another and never giving up. So yes, he has contributed to their recent success. I've always given him credit for that. But he still pulls tactical stunts like last night which leave me shaking my head.

His future looks a little dim to me.

He has had some sort of arm issue every year and you look at his delivery it seems fluid enough. But he may be another flame thrower who just can't stay healthy. Why you can't have too many arms in the system because there are so many pitchers whose arms just give out.

A promising career. Rookie of the year in 2010. He's just what 23? Hope he recovers.

Almost game time... Glad I was wrong about JPA. Let's sweep em' at home Rangers! Take it to them like you did to the Sox Perez.

 

[RevSader]

Sonny Gray is no chump, so don't get too let down if they don't score on him today.

We already won the series and are on the road. If we lose 25-0... I will still be happy... perhaps a little worried about Perez and the BP but happy nonetheless.

 

[RevSader]

Rios spanked that ball.

 

[TheRangerDude]

Nice start

 

[RevSader]

A's will win this shitty challenge. I hate Melvin.

 

[Xx srs bsns xX]

Choice doing his best Choo impression these past couple of games (getting on base).

Nadel says he's safe? (i'm listening, not watching)

 

[BLeslie59Rangers]

Good things often happen when the lead off man gets on. Choice is doing a great job...
