Rangers/A's Game 3 thread CJ hates Oakland edition

[guitarmy21b]

Outman pitching to give Harden a break. Don't think I've seen him pitch before. This is a game I 100% expect the Rangers to win, hopefully the bats stay hot.

Gentry and treanor in the same lineup. Ouch

 

[guitarmy21b]

Mikey at 3rd and Nap at 1st...ouch!

 

[romeo212000]

Those two don't worry me as much.

 

[guitarmy21b]

I think Gentry and Treanor will each get a hit. Nice start for CJ, 2 K's, quick inning.

 

[romeo212000]

Cj's stuff looks nasty today.

 

[romeo212000]

CJ getting screwed at the bottom of the zone here.

 

[guitarmy21b]

Not buying that he was safe there

 

[guitarmy21b]

lol CJ must really hate Oakland

 

[romeo212000]

Naps has the right idea. Make the kid pitch to you. Josh is an incredible hitter but he has no patience. Uggh ugly at bat from Murphy there.

 

[guitarmy21b]

I don't even expect anything from Josh during day games. It's sad when you say that about the AL MVP.

 

[romeo212000]

He's gotten a lot better the last 6 weeks or so though. We need nelly back. All of our OF bats that can hit are all lefties. We need his right handed presence.

Ever notice how our strike zone graphic is ALWAYS in our favor? Like Ian arguing that call, they show the pitch being CLEARLY inside. Just once I'd like to see Tom bring the graphic up and say "Ian doesn't like that call, but as you can see, it was a strike. Nice job by the umpire"

Angels up 2-0 already lets get this game boys.

I've actually heard tag make excuses for the umps on bad calls against Texas. That ball was borderline and Ian started to swing at it. If he had laid off of it entirely he might gave gotten the call. Sometimes the batters response can affect the call too.

I'm getting really tired of watching our batters not beat up on these scrub spot starter.

Nice play by Young there, much improved the last couple weeks

 

[romeo212000]

Nice grab by young.

 

[guitarmy21b]

I was really hoping all of the cookie talk would stop when they fired Rhadigan. Nice steal by Napoli lol

Hate not cashing in a runner on 3rd with less than two outs.

 

[romeo212000]

God dang it. We have got to stop wasting these opportunities. Murphy is freaking crap at the plate today.
