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

[Justinkm83]

Yes, that was huge. Norris is clutch.

Should have never happened damnit. Growing pains at 2B cost us a chance at winning this one. We should have turned 2 DP's that inning.

 

[TheRangerDude]

haha, he was mad after he hit that

 

[Justinkm83]

Man he has some pop. He was pissed because he didn't park it and it traveled a lot father than he thought it would.

Odor needs to be moved the up in the batting order.

I said a week ago that he should be moved to #2. Elvis should be dropped down to 6. You could even put Odor in the lead off spot, which is more likely since Wash loves EA in the #2 spot for some reason.

I remember and i agree.

Wow Buzz, really?

I hope they just couldn't hear Rhads on that or something. They didn't even acknowledge what he said.

Was thinking the same thing.

Terrible news about Richard Durrett, brain aneurysm. Far to young

Thoughts and prayers go out to his wife and 2 young children

RIP faithful Ranger fan Richard Durrett

Well, that should do it. Glad we competed for the most part though. Just wish Yu had a better game.

Our pitching sucks lately....... 8 runs last game and 10 tonight. Not going to do it ......

 

[navamind]

Norris made the most of his two at bats.

Sorry to hear about Durrett. RIP.

Well, they are the top offense in the MLB. We had actually pitched really well for about a week going into this series.

Normally I'd agree, but you should expect better out of Lewis and Darvish. If we were running Tepesch and Martinez out there, then I wouldn't mention it.

Frasor, normally good. It appears the BP woes are contagious. Major pitching issues with this team. How fast the tides can turn. I remember a couple years ago when everyone was clamoring on about how the pitching for the Rangers was so great and on the rise. Injuries will derail that quick, however there are some guys that aren't hurt that just aren't getting it done in this strange season

Indeed. The loss of Perez, Harrison, and Holland has hurt a ton but the BP is a totally different story. Shep didn't really look like himself this season. Cotts is getting closer to where he was last year but started off almost the polar opposite. Ross started off decent but was walking too many people and now is just a shadow of himself. Feliz has been a no show so far. And of course we all thought Ogando would be a starter and even though he is injured, he was also a complete shadow of himself when he pitched. The only guys that have been solid for us are getting over worked with the exception of Soria who probably isn't getting enough. Definitely didn't see this coming.
