Series Thread: Rangers have a sweet tooth and are hungry for some M's&M's - 8/17 - 8/19

Chi chi shitting the bed. I look at it as a good " throw away" game. We probably would've lost to Iwakuma anyway, at least we aren't using one of our better pitchers. Thank god we won yesterday otherwise we might be looking at the possibility of a sweep at the hands of the lowly Mariners.

What do you guys know about Will Veneble?

Another LH hitting OFer. There is nothing that stands out to me on offense. Not sure how he is defensively. Plays all OF spots.

 

[romeo212000]

I got a feeling this ones gonna be ugly.

 

[WastinSomeTime]

I was hoping we would never lose another game the rest of the year. Drat!

Don, back to what we discussed briefly earlier today. Sometime you should go and look at Al Oliver's stats with RISP in his first 2 years here. You might be surprised. The '78 and '79 numbers look pretty good.

Now back to our regularly scheduled programming.

Didn't get here until 1980, so you probably have me there. But if you're gonna quote 2 years worth, lets look at the overall picture too please.

Not saying I'm right, but swear, it sure seemed this way. Of course, this was back in the day with people bringing their own score-books to the game. ha ha ha Not me, although I learned how to keep score when I was 13 and kept a part-time summer job for the next 5 years of my life.

Jesus Christ, you're a damn beating.

Smh. LH and so is AJ if that develops.

 

[romeo212000]

Good lord that was painful.

I just do not see the love for AJ so I hope that is just an ugly rumor.

He's a good kid. He'll pick up hie room and good to bed early. lmao

Yeah, I still have some of my old score books from back then. I will look into the other years. I checked the first 2 because they were his best years overall while here.

Venable has lost some speed and some power since 2 years ago. I wonder if he is insurance in case Hamilton is hurt worse than they think.

Have Rua or Gallo started hitting?

Seattle isn't that bad and Texas isn't that great either. That being said this is a series within the division so both teams know each other. Lighten up it's only the 2nd inning and still several weeks of baseball left.

Nope. Dua hitting.171. Gallo .203.

 

[romeo212000]

You just knew Mitch was gonna K on that splitter.

 

[romeo212000]

Nope. Dua hitting.171. Gallo .203.

What's Gallo doing in August though?

I really thought we'd never lose again.

I've heard Gallo has been completely lost and bad since being sent down. Not sure I should be overly concerned about that but I hope he gets out of it.
