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

[jta4437]

Really sorry about your Grandmother. My Mother died from the same thing on Thanksgiving Day. Tough. Please get checked out.

Never met her so its not as traumatic a loss as it could be for some, but thanks for your well wishes nonetheless

My mother's issue has since been corrected (she actually had 3 aneurysms that needed to be fixed), so its actually "lucky" that she had the "minor" stroke (no long term impacts) as she would have been oblivious to the aneurysms, which the doc said that the stroke is often a way of the body letting you know something is wrong, amazing huh?

And once again, we score and immediately give up run. Maddening

God I hate Brandon Moss

Well that tie didn't last long, did it.

Get your shit together Tep

Has Tepesch been using his changeup much? (forgot it was a day game)

at some point you have to tip your cap

These are the growing pains that "The Nicks" are going to have to learn to pitch through, at some point we just have to let them take their lumps

You mean like today? He's already approaching 100 pitches too.

I hate that we continue to try to pitch him, and the rest of their lefties inside. If you're throwing mid 90's or have enough movement you can get away with it to LHers. That hasn't been the case, but we continue to try. That's one thing I miss about Soto. Calling pitches back there.

How long are we going to allow Snyder to be an auto out in the middle of our line-up?


Nice hit Cheerio

I think with all the problems we have fixing all of them is more than can be expected.

I am sorry but when you post incorrect statements on an open forum then another view comes into play.

Sir....those pitches 9 outta 10 times are from the bench. Locations are discussed in pre game meetings based on scouting reports.

How rusty is Baker going to be. Nice DP ball.

Agree completely. Well said.

I was mostly referring to the 5th inning in taking his lumps, he's was at 99 pitches and it was time to pull him after the 5th

4 inches of rain in 30 minutes is wreaking havoc on my satellite signal, I got nothing here

I agree with you. I know my post may not have sounded that way, but I do.

They don't get every pitch location from the bench, not even close. The pitcher can shake off the pitch anyways. Yes I'm very aware there are scouting reports. My point remains. How long are we going to do it? It hasn't worked all series.

Where are you Murpf?

So you would rather do nothing about it? To each their own I guess.
