I would say they need a break, but they just had a big one in mid-July and it did them no good. I would say those struggling need a rest to clear their heads, but how do you rest an entire team?

I am too. there's no excuse for the little leage quality of play this team has put out on the field for over a month and a half now.

 

[Xx srs bsns xX]

I am too.

Believe we all are....

Its the "dog days of summer" Rangers we all used to know and ummm... love?

how about this batting order for tomorrow night's game?


Gentry CF
Andrus SS
Murphy LF
Beltre 3B
Cruz RF
Kinsler 2B
Moreland 1B
Soto C
Snyder DH (even though he's hitting .200 since the AS)

okay after the display tonite by Kinsler i put Gonzo at 2nd and sit Kinsler too

Gentry CF
Andrus SS
Murphy LF
Beltre 3B
Cruz RF
Moreland 1B
Soto C
Snyder DH
Gonzo 2B

and i tell Young, Hamilton, Napoli & Kinsler to go sit at the far end of the bench and think about it

 

[1502tuley]

Kinsler is almost a guaranteed pop out every time he bats.

 

[1502tuley]

We get 1 run on 3 hits. They get 6 runs on 2 hits.

Give me a f'ing break

 

[jta4437]

He might play Murphy....but Moreland is probably guaranteed to be on the bench. He cant hit a lefty to save his life.

As for the game tonight......... Kinsler can E.A.D.

This is true, he might play Murphy, but Moreland has proven to be absolutely useless against LHPs

Soto C

Hamilton went 4-8 in the 2 games after sitting already, I give him a couple games before I talk about sitting him again

there yah go

 

[1502tuley]

WTF Darvish.

 

[1502tuley]

Where has the Darvish that started the year gone? this is not the same guy. This can't be a guy we just spent $100M on

 

[1502tuley]

Putting in the call for albert...

Because it's been just that kind of night.

 

[1502tuley]

It's a good thing July is gone so all that bad play would go away with the flipping of the calender

 

[Al Falfa]

Where has the Darvish that started the year gone? this is not the same guy. This can't be a guy we just spent $100M on

The better question may be, "where has the team gone?"

 

[1502tuley]

Sorry about the rant guys, but I have reached my breaking point with this team. Their level of play for the last month and a half has driven me to the edge of "fuckitness" and I'm not taking it very well.

 

[scotsman1948]

time to let Washington go

 

[1502tuley]

time to let Washington go

This

 

[jta4437]

I've got the cure for Napoli, whenever I bench him on my fantasy team he produces, that would be this game, his 3-4 game and his 2 HR game against the Angels.... Gonna take one for the team
