Bottom half of the line up looks very suspect.

With the pitcher batting, very suspect indeed.

@Evan_P_Grant: Beltre says All-Star break didn't help thumb. Asked if he should be playing: "That's a good question."

Then just sit him until it is 100%. This season only has meaning, in seeing what we have going forward.

This is why NL baseball sucks.

 

[Bmurph]

Umpiring has to be better in this series

Buzz can't even read.

 

[romeo212000]

Wtf was that Delino?

Buzz can't even read.

And he said the Rangers are going to test Rusin's command early. LOL! We have very few hitters to test a pitcher's command.

 

[romeo212000]

Just so you guys know, this guy is going to 2 hit us.

Watch Nick get a hit. Everyday player before pitcher.

Another fringe pitcher going to look like Cy Young against this anemic offense

 

[romeo212000]

Get ready to see a lot more of that.

Want to beat the Rangers? Pitch your left handed junk balling spare.

Yeah i expected a 9 pitch fist inning, Roogie just fouled off a few more than i expected

 

[WastinSomeTime]

Two groundouts on pitches out of the strike zone. We will test his command next inning.

This offense is getting harder and harder to watch

Nick has to develop an out pitch

Well, if we DFA him, then we're totally on the hook for his contract, until/when/if, a medical professional declares him unable to perform. And that's a very, very tough deal, without his cooperation.

Under this scenario, if Harrison just keeps insisting he wants to keep trying, I don't know how the Rangers could ever have a doc declare him "unfit for duty." Man-o-man, that could be so incredibly dicey.

Hopefully, Harry will not endanger himself, while at the same time, come to the realization, "there's a long, prosperous life after baseball" and he'll retire. Thus, doing the right thing for all parties.

If he can't ever get above 86 MPH on his pitches, he is unfit, I know we would be responsible for it all if we DFA him, its a sunk cost at this point regardless

Nothing dicey about it, he's not a ML pitcher anymore if he doesn't get some velocity back, its business and we've given him NUMEROUS opportunities to get it back, and he just doesn't

Get rid of Magadan. They guy has had zero positive influence on this lineup. It's gotten worse since day one.

 

[Bmurph]

He will have at least a 20 pitch inning now

Every hitter in baseball knows he doesn't have one now.
