Series Thread: Houston "you have a problem", the Texas Rangers 9/14-17

Hope Dutch has his plus game tonight. If he does then I'm confident we can come out of here with a win.

Gallo has GOT to learn not to swing for the fences every single time. Some situations call for simple contact.

Horrible AB.

He swings under the ball most of the time of course because he has that upper cut swing. You just hope the pitcher hits his bat. He is showing a good eye at the plate though.

 

[Kelleyman]

Exactly, the ones he swung and misses were well within the strike zone but he's so determined on bombing those things that he's missing it. He's got much to learn still but hopefully he'll work on that a bunch in the off season.

And not even a foul ball

 

[WilltheThrill]

Rather see Rua at the plate.

Agree. Gallo shouldn't be playing. He is not a major league-level player by any stretch. One lucky bomb from time to time doesn't make up for the countless other failures.

He doesn't so far.

 

[Duane1952]

Come on Derek, no more of those.

 

[WastinSomeTime]

Holland was lucky in the 1st inning. He needs to get his act together and quick.

 

[romeo212000]

Lock it down Dutch. We don't need this shit.

 

[Kelleyman]

Grieve telling it like it is. No more fat pitches Dutch

 

[ESPN Refugee]

You're gifted 4 runs early against a good team the least you could do is have that shutdown inning.

 

[ESPN Refugee]

Dammit Dutch

 

[Kelleyman]

Wonder if they get Nick up

 

[ESPN Refugee]

He's throwing meatballs. If I'm Banny I'd trot my ass out there and give him a pep talk similar to what Wash did at times.

 

[romeo212000]

We're gonna need more runs. Banny better start warming someone up.

 

[WastinSomeTime]

I wanted them to leave the rotation as is so Holland would face Keuchel. Now I just wish they left it so Perez was pitching this game instead.

 

[romeo212000]

Thanks for the out.

What was their rationale for making the adjustment?

 

[Kelleyman]

What was their rationale for making the adjustment?

Set up Hamels for potential WC game. Dutch game one division series

 

[Duane1952]

Not your night Derek.

 

[ESPN Refugee]

Ya he doesn't have anything today it appears. Get him out soon.
