Our Texas Rangers vs the dreaded Seattle Mariners 8/26 - 8/28

[fordman84]

Maybe the Ranger mojo is now inside of Felix's head. I don't know. But man, if I'm the M's I'd be a little concerned about his lack of success against us.

It's like how SEA has Yu's number, or did.

I hope Detroit shows up today.... Would be nice to have at least a 3.0 game lead on Friday against the twins

 

[donaldson79]

His overall is 3.02 after today.

Let quote my source: ESPN says it is .297 after today. Regardless, it's pretty good. Do you know what it is just against us?

They changed it then. I cannot see why any of those runs should be unearned.

 

[ESPN Refugee]

From what I recall Felix has typically done very very well against us in Seattle but not so much in Texas. I think we're really fortunate and even lucky to knock him around today like we did.

Ump being a dick in a 10 run game.

HOLY CRAP! Came in to tune in the game half way through. Did King forget there was a game today and thought it was tonight and is still home in his apartment or something?

Focus Martin...big lead....

It sure didn't resemble King Felix out there, that's for sure!

If I'm the Rangers, I'm gonna let Martin get through this inning, then I'm pulling him. why not? He pitched 32 innings in the bigs last year; now at 82 for this year. Give him a small breather, take the win/lowered ERA, and take a shower. Put someone in for 2 plus innings, and let's go.

 

[RevSader]

I am pissed that the scorer ruled one of those runs unearned. It's not true.

I could not disagree more with that. The only reason he hasn't pitched more this year was an injury unrelated to fatigue.

Third inning, Kinsler stole second but advanced to third on an error. But wait, he came in on Geo's single. Run would've scored regardless of the error.

It's a bad judgment call. I hate homer score keepers.

I miss King Felix....we were having fun...

Maybe they feel Rios would be on 1st if not for the error that moved Kinsler to 3rd so he would not have scored on Soto's single.

We're trying to win a pennant yes? Then what's the down side with letting this guy throw 84 pitches instead of 103? Don't get it. What's the most pitches he's ever thrown in his life in one season? It's probably getting close now. It's just my opinion, but I don't want this guy outta gas in mid Sept, and maybe, just maybe, here's a chance to take part of the afternoon off and mean nothing, other than he gets to throw fewer pitches.

It's a garbage ruling. They only did it after the 9th run scored to protect Felix. That's bullshit.

He threw 150+ innings between AAA and the bigs last year. He's fine.

I just got home so I did not see it.
