Can't always look for JD to bail you out. The talent needs to play up to expectations

Talent? You are giving JD way too much credit. It's his fault the Rangers are in the mess they're in, specifically with the lack of offense. JD put this team together and it's all on him that they can't score enough. The Rangers have not been a great situational hitting team for some time. But they had absolute mashers like Napoli, Hamilton, Cruz, Beltre, and even Kinsler who could mask that deficiency by scoring runs via the long ball. Well now Hamilton and Napoli are gone, Kinsler is only so-so, and Cruz is suspended. That leaves 1 true power hitter in Beltre and a bunch of inconsistent other hitters. JD did nothing to fill the power void left in the offseason. Berkman is a fragile joke and AJP is nowhere close to the power threat of Napoli. Martin, Gentry, Profar, Moreland, Baker, Andrus, Murphy, and Soto are all just ok hitters. One or two might have a good game but it's just very rare when enough of them are hitting at the same time. That's why the Rangers don't put up many long sustained rallies or huge innings anymore- too few really good hitters to string together anything.

Not many great contact singles hitters + hardly any power = weak/inconsistent offense. And JD built this roster.

Lainey, they need to score some run four times.

I know, its a joke about our offense, remember?

 

[RevSader]

Yes. I said run four times.

 

[Sexy]

Not this crap again. So sick of it.

 

[1502tuley]

Fuck you Rangers!!!

 

[spicesadie]

Figures....this team sucks at times, I'm sorry, but they do.

 

[RevSader]

I loathe everything CJ Wilson represents in life. Self important douchebag.
