Series Thread: Rangers at that dump in Oakland 6/16-18

[Bmurph]

2 late games and a 2:35 start Wednesday. Hope Darvish has been watching lots of film on his past starts vs this team and pitches like we know he can. The offense needs get it going against some tough Oakland pitching. Go Rangers!

Bard faced 4 batters and hit 2 and walked 2. Strange how that can happen to a pitcher who made it to the bigs.

Just be positive. That's all you can ask. I'd settle on one of three in Oakland.

Almost went to the game tonight (Braves/Angels), had opportunity, but decided not to waste my money on the stinkin' Angels...

I hate to be a downer, but I see no chance with Colby on the mound tomorrow...I've lost all my confidence in him at this point sad to say...

I hope Darvish throws fastballs at the A's hitters. They don't swing at his off speed stuff. Darvish needs to remember that he's facing a team who would rather walk than swing the bat.

At the hitters or to the hitters. Big difference

Bout to turn this one off. Braves need to make this a game and I'm a guessing they don't have the offense.

Yeh, they're about lose control of this one...and their offense is about as effective as ours with RISP...

Unfortunately I agree. But winning 2 out of 3 in Seattle was quite a feat for us so here us hoping. It seems LH hitters are kicking our rears and Oakland has plenty of them.

We got Lewis, Darvish and Tepesch pitching. I'd settle on one but 2/3 of this could be interesting. But if Darvish has it rough, lot of pressure on Tepesch. Right, no faith in Colby.

Go Spurs win one for the Crawler

 

[TheRangerDude]

Last time we played them in Oakland we swept them... not realistic to expect that to happen again but it sure would be nice.

Go Spurs win one for the Crawler

It appears it's gonna happen!

The Heat have played "dead" this whole series, and been walked all over!

Because they are not the 2nd best team. They played in that pathetic Eastern Conference. The Mavs played the Spurs better. In fact possibly better than anyone.

 

[darrylgann]

Atlanta making a come back on the Angels? 3-2

 

[Justinkm83]

I'll certainly take the series win in SEA. Especially since we only scored 6 runs the entire series.

For the love of God move EA out of the 2 hole. His inability to get a hit w/ RISP has gotten very frustrating. The "he's good at situational hitting" that Wash always says is no longer true. There's been multiple times in the past few games where the opposing pitcher has pitched him up and in and he swings and gets handcuffed. There might be something new in his scouting report.
