10 day west coast road trip begins with 3 @ the A: TEX @ LAA 5/5-7

Bochy is gonna have to get over his affection for Hernandez.

 

[saddles]

Mark my words; he's about to take Heaney's job once deGrom comes back.
He'll be the third- or forth best pitcher in the rotation from this point forward, and he'll finish the season with an ERA right at 3.50.

Yeah, I have been a believer in both him and Otto since the end of last year. I hate that Otto got hurt. I think he would doing well this year as well

I think we've both been fans of Dunning and Otto. Otto was starting to come along after the all star break last year, had an ERA around 3.80 his last twelve starts and lowered his walk rate big-time.

 

[armadillooutlaw]

Man, ship Hernandez, Sborz, LeClerc, and Kennedy to Oakland or something. These guys suck!

 

[saddles]

Alex Speas with another good outing in relief tonight for Frisco. His ERA still sits at 0.00.

 

[Senator_fan]

3 more outs by who?

 

[Senator_fan]

Terrible for Dane.

 

[armadillooutlaw]

This bullpen is worthless.

 

[Duane1952]

Unbelievable. When DeGrom gets back, I would make Dunning or Otto the closer.

 

[Duane1952]

Will Smith is not the answer.

 

[saddles]

Seager is said to be 7 to 10 days away from returning.

 

[Senator_fan]

Unreal. 5 runs in 2.1 innings.

 

[Duane1952]

That didn’t take long for Sborz to lose it.

 

[Duane1952]

This bullpen sucks, CY this what you get for doing nothing to improve the bullpen.

 

[Senator_fan]

That didn’t take long for Sborz to lose it.

Sborz lost it a long time ago.

 

[TheLonestarDUCK]

That is the fifth game so far where the ESPN algorithm had the Rangers at a 99% win rate. Can’t believe the club hasn’t acted on a closer.

 

[Nightcrawler]

We’ve had 4 or 5 complete total meltdown god awful epic Fucking choke on a dick losses already.

how many more can this team take before it wears on their psyches? What a way to start a long road trip.

 

[saddles]

They need to start trying some minor league relievers and they need to jettison some of the ones they currently have.

CY is inexperienced, but I hope he is learning the importance of acquiring a great bullpen before the season, instead of following in his predecessor's footsteps.

 

[saddles]

If Ragans is in Bochy's doghouse for some reason, maybe he should be sent down. He hasn't been used often enough to be effective. He was one of our most effective pitchers in ST and he is being left to rot in the pen.

 

[Kelleyman]

Rangers temporary 1st place is fools gold without a legit pen
Alao Leody takes conservative routes and his arm ain’t great. Not the answer in CF
