Series Thread: Rangers at Mariners Labor Day edition 9/5-9/8

Can we get just one decent pitching performance these days?!?!?! This is a joke. And Doug Brocail is a pathetic joke as a pitching coach. Jonathan Lucroy has already discovered multiple flaws and changes to suggest to our pitchers in just one month behind the plate, things Brocail hadn't picked up on all season. Banny admitted it was true but defended Brocail, saying it's harder for coaches than catchers to pick up flaws.

BS.

I'm missing Maddox

 

[Duane1952]

We may see Tanner tonight.

 

[Bmurph]

May take 12..hope we can tee off on this rookie

not gonna do anything if they stand there and get strike 3 called on them

 

[Bmurph]

watch 2 strikes and swing at a ball outta the zone. great approach

 

[WastinSomeTime]

Don't understand watching 2 pitches right down the middle and then swing at a pitch out of the zone.

 

[Rudy_Rangerfan]

I forgot we struggle against shitty pitchers .....

 

[Duane1952]

This guy is throwing strikes, swing the bats.

 

[WilltheThrill]

Looks like our whole team decided they were just going to show up and not even try and waltz out of there with a win. Disgusting effort so far against these talentless hacks. Their team tonight is Cano, Cruz, Seager, and a bunch of mediocre spares. And this pitcher is absolute trash. He has been so bad that there was talk of this being his last chance to prove he belonged in the rotation. He's got nothing remotely resembling good stuff, yet our guys are retiring with ease.

 

[WilltheThrill]

This guy is throwing strikes, swing the bats.

He's throwing batting practice right over the heart of the plate over and over and we're just sitting there watching everything. He has been no better than Griffin.

 

[Bmurph]

STOP W THE FUCKING WALKS

 

[WilltheThrill]

This is why you can't ever make it past the 6th inning, AJ. He does not throw effective non-strikes. He misses by so much that no hitter is going to be fooled into swinging. He runs every batter to full counts instead of pounding the strike zone around the edges.

 

[Bmurph]

53 pitches in 1 1/3, you trying to keep Perez in the rotation you dumbass

 

[WilltheThrill]

That wasn't even close. Ball 4 was about 5 feet wide. Even I would have been able to take on that pitch. This is flat-out awful.

Keep this asshole out there for all 9 innings and teach him a lesson.

Fuckin A

 

[WilltheThrill]

Even if our offense jumps alive tonight, this game is over. 6-0. There is no way between AJ Griffin and potentially Nick Martinez pitching that our offense will be able to catch up. They'd have to score 15 to win tonight.

 

[Rudy_Rangerfan]

Just fuckin hit seager please

 

[Bmurph]

A run, on no hits way to go

 

[WilltheThrill]

As Crawler would say, at least Houston lost.

So there is that.

 

[Rudy_Rangerfan]

Our pitching has gotten horrible

 

[Bmurph]

As Crawler would say, at least Houston lost.

So there is that.

Still gonna be 8.5 ahead after this one and at least the shitty pitching is consistent
