Series Thread: The Oakland A's at Your Texas Rangers 4/28 - 4/30

Imagine my surprise and chagrin while I was beginning to enjoy the DSO at Stonebriar to see popping up on my iPhone this lovely final score. I think I'd rather watch paint dry to go through what you all went through.

Sorry but I figured we need a new thread to get this bad taste out of our mouths. Go Rangers!

Poorly executed baseball after the Rangers had a 5-0 lead and chased the starter. Bad pitching by Ogando it seems, happens... just have to do better this series at home

Team's gonna live or die on its bullpen, Murph. Starters don't pitch complete games anymore. Gonna have to find some consistency here. And Prince, get to a shrink!

Yeah the bullpen is very concerning

The good news is Oakland lost again, and the Yankees just took the lead on the Angels.

Need at least 1.....A's are throwing their best pitchers at us. The stats might be misleading tho, Kazmir and Chavez have faced primarily minor league lineups (Astros and Mariners) up to this point.

Angels BP is in now, should be interesting

 

[Bmurph]

Soriano missed the pitch in the middle of the plate and then GIDP, looks familiar

Not a good Metroplex sports day, is it

Can't win em all

As for yesterday's game... the way I see it, the Rangers have won their fair share of games so far this season due to bullpen collapse. So law of averages dictates that it will all even out in the end. Yesterday was tough...but it happens.

Sucks to lose...but its baseball.

However, since it is baseball, you get to go out there and play today and forget about yesterday.

Our top 3 (at the moment) (Darvish, Perez, Ross)..vs. their top 3. Go out there and punch them in the mouth. Take 2 of 3 from Oakland and finish the month 17-11.

And lead the season series 5-1.

Let's go.

I'm down with this! and 17 wins in April is a great month at full strength and this team was/is NOT that! Overall, I am excited about this team and they have put themselves in a far greater than expected situation!

True but this one should have been won. Losing a 5 run lead is disgusting. I have an opinion why we lost it and it's because a bad choice of relievers. Now moving on to Oak.

Hope Choo is back tonight.

Hope Choo is back tonight.

It would be nice. Expecting three low scoring games. Glad they're here. Anyone going to them?

Doubtful. Last I read (on Saturday, I think) was that he was still experiencing some discomfort. I wouldnt be surprised if he was out this series...but back on Friday.

My Mom is and she borrowed the free Choo shirt that I got at one of the games. She got the best kind of tickets. Free tickets, lower level.
