Series Thread: Let's take 4 from the hated A's!

[True Rangers Fan]

If I'm the Banny Rooster, here is the lineup I roll with today:

Martin CF
Smolinski LF
Fielder DH
Beltre 3B
Choo RF
Chirinos C
Moreland 1B
Andrus SS
Odor 2B

 

[WastinSomeTime]

I say sit Andrus down and play Rosales at short.

 

[romeo212000]

Sure it's overreaction?

It's 3 games in. Yes, it's overreaction.

 

[Bmurph]

Andrus needs to get his head on straight, Im tired of hearing how good of shape he is in and how focused and what a great year he should have. Put up or sit

I wonder how long Banny will put up with his BS.

Heard Preller is looking for a ss. But he knows that is too high of a price to pay.

If we move Elvis at this juncture, we'll definitely be eating salary.

Listening to The Fan about 20 minutes ago and they're interviewing Jim Knox. And this is what he said, "Well, coming off a really tough game last night. But we've got Chi-Chi going for us today."

Jim, Jim, Jim......

And he follows this with, while going over each position, "Elvis is back and Odor is older."

This guy is enlightened I tell ya.

Now we know why he is the guy who does all the knuckle headed stuff in the stands and nothing that has any real sports meat to it.

I think Corp will probably get the start at catcher today. That's usually the case for when a day game comes after a night game. (backup up C gets the start)

But other than that, looks fine.

Rua needs a day off. He's just swinging at everything and missing pitches right down the middle.
Elvis is........ya know what? Fuck Elvis right now and take off the stupid freaking ear muff hat. 4 errors (ok, should be 3) in 3 games and doing absolutely nothing at the plate. And all you can say for the errors is "its been tough".

Then again, the whole team is doing nothing at the plate. Except Fielder. This team needs a hitting coach...and bad. Magadan has had his "chance" to implement his ideals with this team. It OBVIOUSLY isnt working.

Maybe I just miss Clint Hurdle...


On to other things ---

Choo was out last night (and got pulled the previous night) b/c of fatigue. He's not injured though...





And then there's this from Scott Lucas. This was posted around the 1st inning of the game....

Sidenote - for a slogan/mantra of "NeverEverQuit"... this team has done exactly the opposite in 2 of the 3 games. Especially last night...

Don't fuck with us right now, mamba.

Don't fuck with us right now, mamba.

What happened? havent read any boxscores this season.

 

[romeo212000]

Texas is picking up right where they left off so far.

Those happen to be readily available online.

Cool. I think my newspaper delivery boy either quit or is sick cuz I havent got the fish wrap since Sunday. At least I got that though because I got some real nice coupons in there for Arby's.

And lots of it, I suspect.

I've gotta wonder after watching him the first 3 games if a change of scenery might be what the doctor ordered.

And yes, I know it's only 3 games in for 2015, but he's coming off a really bad season and he's looked even worse so far. So the sample size isn't minuscule IMO.

 

[PDay8810]

3 games in and the whole team looks inadequate to me.

mike young, murphy, Washington and now this board has set their sights on Elvis as the 2015 whipping boy.

 

[True Rangers Fan]

EG has pointed out that so far, the Rangers have more errors than runs.

I'll need those two extra hours of tailgating on Friday.
