really Dutch??? 3 bombs to the Astros?

According to ken rosenthal they're just doing due diligence, but who knows. Feliz has started to look exactly how I thought he would. Unpolished. Hopefully he'll continue to develop and straighten it out, but I've said from the beginning he needs polishing in the minors as a starter.

Yes you are right and I meant the Rangers watched him throw in a session yesterday. Wish Perez or Ramirez were further along in their progress.

So much for the long start for Holland

 

[romeo212000]

Our batters just aren't clicking that well and our pitchers definitely aren't clicking that well. Both being true is just killing me right now.

What the hell?? Could we please get some consistency from somebody not named Darvish?

 

[romeo212000]

Uh oh... Pulling Holland after 5 innings with a severely depleted back end of the bullpen. Bad call with two outs IMO. We need at least one more inning from Dutch. Especially knowing the Astros would bring a lefty to face Mitch.

I remember back when Ogando used to be a starter.

Thought for sure we could get 7 out of Holland tonite.

Do you remember his second half too?

I just think this was yet another example of Wash's poor in game management. Napoli isn't in scoring position, isn't fast, and there's two outs. Our bullpen is likely missing Ross, Adams, and Nathan and you decide the best thing to do is pull your starting pitcher in the fifth for a lefty who pretty much only hits right handers. Anyone with half a brain will bring in their lefty specialist there. Again, piss poor in game management.

Hoping Ogando can hold up because when is rested he is virtually unhittable

 

[Windingmywatch]

Easy to recall with several guys emulating Ogando's second half.

know that Wash is a players coach but as you have astutely pointed out in several games over the the past few weeks I am seeing the same poor in game decisions as well. The question is, are N.Ryan JD noticing these gaffes as well and to what extent

 

[romeo212000]

Wow. Ian is pretty bad right now.

 

[romeo212000]

Come on josh. Gotta get Elvis home.

 

[romeo212000]

Nice job wash. He actually hit that ball really well.

 

[romeo212000]

Seems like AB is always swinging for a homer when we're down by a run or two.

Wash does some great things in the clubhouse to get this team to gel and play well. However, they win in spite of his in game management.

Seems to me like were due for a late innng comeback win?

I like the way you think.
