If the Rangers had any sense of gamesmanship they would start Noesi against Beaven.

 

[TDs3nOut]

"M's going down!"

- Robbie Ross

 

[Tapey]

Hopefully we have our whoopin sticks.

 

[cezero]

Ackley and Saunders have both had some success against Robbie Ross.

Good thing they're not in the lineup!

Not only that but Ackley is killing LHP so far this year. In fact it's over .400 points OPS higher then Almonte over his career. I don't get the forcing of Almonte into lead off/lineup.

 

[cezero]

Beavis didn't look like a Butthead in the 1st inning, anyway.

Off to a nice start.

 

[cezero]

lol

that was short-lived

nice to see we could help fielder break his slump

 

[cezero]

come on rangers, hit 3 homers in a row

make it so we never have to see beavan again

 

[unlvmariners]

lucky double play

 

[Tapey]

That was a pretty lucky double play, Cano making it look easy.

 

[cezero]

m's just get their asses whipped repeatedly and badly by starters.

ross has thrown 70 pitches in 6 innings and it's been incredibly easy for him.

 

[cezero]

barely over 80 pitches through 7 innings.

optimism waning even more, even if they miraculously win this game.

 

[SeattleCoug]

Other then one inning aided by bad Ranger fielding this team has gone nearly 4 games without scoring. I still want to believe its early but I make that mistake every year.

 

[Logicallylethal]

Perfect time for Cano's first hr right here!

 

[Tapey]

It's ok Tom we weren't going to win this anyways.

 

[Logicallylethal]

Oh well at least we have Felix going tomorrow...

 

[cezero]

yeah, it's getting alarming now

without the errors by the rangers last night, the m's might very well have scored 2 or fewer runs the past 4 games

cano is hitting well. ackley kinda. zunino...maybe? other than that, nothing.

 

[SeattleCoug]

Oh well at least we have Felix going tomorrow...

True but if we score Zero like we have done 3 of the last 6 games it wont matter. Hope the offense figures it out.

 

[Logicallylethal]

Might be 0-0 going into extras tomorrow. Felix has been pitching like a Cy Young and oh yeah that Yu Darvish guy only has a 0.00 era.
