Series Thread: Holland, Rangers travel to Cincinnati for short series 8/23-8/24

[DT LUNA]

Who was it who was saying earlier about Holland being "told" not to swing?

Not I said DT

Damn foul

Game of inches. We just ain't living right

 

[Duane1952]

Our offense is pathetic.

 

[romeo212000]

Desmond had some good pitches to hit with those 1st two strikes.

Desmond still isn't right.

 

[Bmurph]

Would be a damn shame to waste this outing by a SP and especially Derek just getting back. Offense get off your dead ass and score some damn runs for him

You are 100% correct.

 

[WastinSomeTime]

Just knew he was going to catch that.

One might be enough....seriously.

And after 5 Holland has thrown 50 pitches. FIFTY....Anyone know who our last pitcher threw 50 through 5? That's good, make that excellent,even for Yu and Cole.

Our offense is pathetic.

Maybe Gomez can be some kind of catalyst but I'm not expecting it.

But ya know darrly, we've won a lot of games this season when we were "living right."

That's what makes baseball, baseball. Seriously.

Last year it was the other way around started terrible ended strong. Much prefer that than this.

We both know this for a fact......there was a distinct "lack of catalyst" playing LF for the better part of 2016 to date.

Hell of a catch and Beltran has hit the ball hard a couple times w nothing to show for it

 

[jaar01]

Do we even have a hitting coach? Is he comatose?

Seriously just about every starting pitcher we face just plain shuts us down. It really is unbelievable.

Just guessing, it wasn't Gallardo?

 

[WastinSomeTime]

We almost need to treat this like a rehab start so keep Holland on a short leash.

 

[jaar01]

This will certainly be Hollands last inning. He won't bat again.

Not sure about hitting coach but the hitters sure look like they are sleep walking through AB's

 

[WastinSomeTime]

Why did they have Odor playing so close to 2nd anyway with a bunt coming.

 

[Duane1952]

Buzz, Mazara sure covered a lot of ground to catch tat in right center you idiot.
