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

[RevSader]

Seager is still an asshole.

 

[romeo212000]

Those long innings may not have done Perez any favors.

 

[Duane1952]

Wow 10-2 and with king felix pitching.

 

[Windingmywatch]

Seager is unbelievable. The stadium got in the way of that ball or it would have gone 500 plus feet. Wow!

 

[Jbear]

This guy Seager is a major pain in the ass. Glad this is the last game we need to deal with him this season.

 

[WastinSomeTime]

Listening to the radio sounded like a good play by Profar to get Perez out of the inning, a hard shot to Moreland and now 2 homers. Plus he has been falling behind. But sounded like he was sharp in the first few innings.

 

[romeo212000]

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.

How bout te act that our bullpen got smoked like a cheap cigar in the first half?

 

[BLeslie59Rangers]

Yeh, Seager's got to get his last shot in before we say goodbye...

 

[DT LUNA]

Seager is still an asshole.

And consistent too.

A no-hitter into the 4th.

Like I said, sometimes those long offensive innings aren't the best thing for young pitchers.

 

[WastinSomeTime]

King Felix is 0-3 with a 5.55 era against us this year.

 

[donaldson79]

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

OK........I just see no upside, and I don't see much similarity between innings in AAA, to pitching in the bigs against the bigs, and with a division (perhaps more) on the line. You're probably right. Like I said...."If it was me." I'd bet $10 he's coming back out. Potato's patato's perhaps. I just think it never hurts to rest a starter when given that opportunity.

 

[Jbear]

What ever happened with K Morales being claimed on waivers a couple days ago? Di anyone hear who claimed him? Bastard played al three games against Rangers. Sure hope it was not OAK that claimed him.

How bout not taxing the bullpen down the stretch?

 

[donaldson79]

And there you go. I'd won $10 bucks. hahaha

OK.....now take his ass out. He's now got 100 instead of 84. Did those 16 pitches mean something I'm missing? Seriously

 

[RevSader]

The bitch took that run right back!

 

[WastinSomeTime]

I was just going to say now that we are way ahead MM will hit a homer just like his last two or three.

 

[Jbear]

atta boy Moreland

Point taken. And obviously me and you - several, several others + the Rangers - disagree. Again....I said, "if it were me." It's not a big deal. But I sure want my starters ready when it becomes nut cutting time (which is real soon).
