Series Thread: Off to the Cooler Confines of Colorado.....7/20-22

Nick doesn't even look like long reliever material at this point.

He has zero of the confidence he had at the beginning of the year and he's not even pitching remotely the same way when he was having success

 

[darrylgann]

How did he even get the one out?

 

[Kelleyman]

The ball does not move up there. He has to keep it down

Actually, I see many more similarities than not with these two guys.

Neither one throws heat, nor has another pitch which can be considered an out pitch.

I'd like to see em both down and working to develop this.

I agree. I see a lot of similarities, except Chi Chi has started working on a change up which could become a weapon for him, but he needs more time.

He is another project, he is an infielder on the mound until he can develop another pitch or command his pitches much better. Ball has been up all night and he only has 1 out in the 2nd

It's 100 degrees in the shade here, however rather go outside and watch the birds sweat then this. You guys hang in there, this is ridiculous.

I think I'm done watching ranger baseball for a while.

When all is said and done 2011 is going to have been real long time ago

pitcher

I figured he would've given up a bomb to him.

 

[Bmurph]

Gonna completely waste Wandy in the bullpen for this shit

This team may be in a hole it takes longer than I thought to dig out of. I see very little to be optimistic about our immediate future.

If you can't compete you have to put guys like Rua out there to see what he has.

Gawd, I wish you didn't mention this.

It's true, but it seems like two decades ago already.

FB after FB with very little movement. What kind of results does he expect?

I don't want to be a total pessimist but i have just come to the realization that this team isn't gonna be any good for a long time. Darvish will be long gone before this team is any good

I fear you're probably right.

Sorry Don, I actually just kicked myself in the groin for mentioning it

Know what? I've got no problem with giving Rua the chance to prove he belongs.

After all, let's not forget he was our starting LF to begin the season.

Real long time ago. Not sure what year we'll sniff the playoffs again.
