I'm fine with that he's a solid player

a little adjustment time is okay, he's not been horrid.

God almighty, the dreaded lead off walk....

I'm fine with that he's a solid player

What does that mean? Solid?

 

[darrylgann]

On his last game for CHW Rios was hitting ... .277 .328 .421 .749

As of last night Rios is batting ... .275 .324 .414 .738

Moving from a last place team to the heart of a pennant race sure has ignited Rios. TEX is stuck with him for 2014.

You move Rios to replace Murphy, resign Cruz to a very team friendly contract and try to lure McCann here to replace AJ.

 

[Duane1952]

absurd. He should be on the bench without question

but that is ridiculous.
"they can't hit because Murphy is in the line-up"

Are you serious?

The only thing that is ridiculous is your love for Murphy. Somebody else posted the energy level picks up when Gentry is in.

 

[DT LUNA]

Garza credible after a shaky start. Deserves a little offensive help.

 

[Bmurph]

Bullshit you can't argue w the call Tag, if the bat crosses the front of the plate he went

 

[WTXRangerFan]

Maybe Adduci will help. Oh no, two on one out

 

[Nightcrawler]

Just like last night... Starter in game too long and Minnesota drawing tons of walks

 

[BLeslie59Rangers]

Just walked a.183 hitter....good night...it's hot, he's near 110 pitches, he'll make a mistake ...

 

[Bmurph]

Ron never learns this is exactly where Garza tired in his last 2 starts and gave up most of his runs, gonna wait until we are in to big of a bind to bring someone in

 

[darrylgann]

Good job, Garza. Pull him now.

 

[DT LUNA]

The energy level seems to pick up when Gentry is in the game. Very noticeable IMO but she is not in love with Murphy.

Whaa! Balony ... what adjustment? ALC team ... now playing for an ALW team playing ALW and ALC teams that he has seen how many times this year?

He's been a major league player for 10 years. He's playing RF like he played for CHW. He's even wearing the same number.

He's got a .2WAR. He's the definition of a replacement value player for his position. Transparent.

What adjustment?

Unlike other good teams Wash/Maddux don't pull guys soon enough

 

[Windingmywatch]

I'm making the call ... Wash should have pulled Garza before this AB

Edit: You guys beat me to it

 

[Bmurph]

Now get him some runs, he deserves them

 

[darrylgann]

Lucked out there, Garza.

I totally respect those numbers, and also respect how you pull kindly pull them when I've asked for them, but they're still human, they aren't computers.

What I meant was the transition to a new team and atmosphere, and that's all I meant

 

[BLeslie59Rangers]

Wow, Wash, you were fortunate there. Garza was left in too long.....
