M's vs. Rangers Aug. 6th-8th

[WizardHawk]

I only saw boxscores so was there a real reason for pulling Lelanc? I know Servais gets shit on alot and Jerry made all these minor moves that "upgraded" the bullpen but did they realize Felix was pitching today? Why burn up your pen when from all indications it didn't need to be.

Every person on the radio today was entirely blasting Servais for that move. All of them. Even the ones normally drinking the kool aid.

There really was no reason for it. He was dishing and the Rangers got a lucky infield hit and that was it. He didn't look like he wasn't falling apart. It was just plain old stupid.

Simms said something about it being a hot night and protecting his arm blah blah, but Leake was born in San Diego ffs and went to college in Arizona. Dude has been around the heat all of his life and most of his career. He was fine.

 

[WizardHawk]

As old as it feels like Felix is, he's 13 years younger than Colon. Just crazy.

 

[WizardHawk]

Can we just play against 45 y/o pitchers every day the rest of the season?

 

[Duders]

Colon has seen better days. Luckily the M's are capitalizing on Colon's "days of gone by". Still not what it should be. Two triples=1 run. Not complaining-just think the offense needs to do more than just hit the occasional bomb. Get your runners on base and move them around. Playing small ball is one of this club's weaker offensive points. On a positive note, Felix is looking good so far. Love the banter between Felix and Beltre

I think you meant LaBlanc and not Leake. Did LaBlanc spend time in the hot weather too? Either way, there was not good reason for Servais to pull LaBlanc. He lost a well earned W thanks for that dumb move IMO

Oh yeah, we have our old man out there as well so nevermind.

 

[Duders]

OH OH....here comes the Rangers. Crapiest team in the division. Tied up now. Guess Felix is not having the day I thought he was. Oh, now they have the lead. Don't screw around and leave Felix in there to blow this one wide open. Get a friggin clue Scotty!!

 

[Lineman16]

I say we wait to pull him till he gives up at least 7 runs

God Damn it, yeah. LeBlanc is from the south and used to the heat as well.

 

[Duders]

Boy, Felix was luckier than hell to get out of that one. Our O has got to really kick it in now. Doubt Scotty will pull Felix until it's too late. Just my guess is all.

You leave the struggling guy in and pull the guy on a 2 hitter.

LOL- easy enough to mix up the "L" pitchers.

Looks like we gave Colon the confidence he needed by having his team take the lead.

[Duders]

Is anybody out there who can figure out why the F Servais hasn't got off his dead ass and pulled Felix yet? He has got to be the dumbest, I mean THEE dumbest manager when it comes to the pitching staff. Why the hell is he doing this to his team? What a friggin doofus.

 

[WizardHawk]

Bunt out with no outs by Gordon down two runs. Brilliant.

 

[Duders]

How about now shit for brains??

 

[Duders]

Gawd...I just don't believe him.

 

[Duders]

This team has got to be questioning their manager. They play their butts off and watch the manager just sit on his. Sad...just so sad.
