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

[Bmurph]

By the two most unlikely.

Chirinos is certainly trying to earn a starting catching job

Soto might find it hard finding a role here. And it won't be long.

 

[TheRangerDude]

Isn't Rowen the guy they were sort of excited about last season- something about his release point is lower than most other submariners?

 

[Bmurph]

This has to be the most Hrs we have hit in a game

Last 4 HR game came last year sept 18th vs the Rays. It was Moreland, Andrus, Rios and Soto in that one

FU Coco Puff

 

[RevSader]

Total coco crisp hit

I know Chirinos is no world beater but with Wieters out for the year he could get some consideration for the ASG. He's thrown out a lot of runners too.

He would probably have to stay hot for a few more weeks

 

[TheRangerDude]

Now lets get over the .500 hump tomorrow with Yu. Hopefully he can turn around his history with the A's... he has been pitching really well of late. Lets give Murphy another start tomorrow too.

What a game. Darryl, DT not going to believe this score when he sees it later this morning.

 

[Bmurph]

They sure find a way to make it interesting, Cespy looming on deck

I'm not even sure if he is on the ballet. I think JPA was our opening day C. He would have to be a write in I think.

Wow, just checked. Soto is on the ballot as C for us.

That's true. I didn't think of that. Oh well. Just keep hitting Robinson!

Only because of how many Texas scored. I really don't think any of us would be shocked if Oakland had pulled that come back off tonight. Just glad to see the offense respond when the pitching got bad.

 

[darrylgann]

Well. I'm happy. Said earlier I'd settle for one of three here. Didn't think it would have been this one. But I'll be greedy. Really want Yu to win Tuesday (today).

Don't think Colby will ever go past six. That's sad.

I'm not sure Colby isn't the odd man out when Holland returns. That's what I would do though. I'm sure they'll send Nick down.

Not even a hint, Duane, when he called it a night. Think it was 2-0 Oakland.

 

[Bmurph]

Dude is blocking balls and throwing guys out like he has been a ML catcher for years

Which one? I say keep Martinez up as the long guy... worked well the first go around.

 

[WastinSomeTime]

I had to give it up after our half of the 7th. Murphy has pop in his bat. In 149 ABs last year he had 11 HRs.

 

[WastinSomeTime]

Oddity last night-Feliz faced Jeff Francoeur in the 9th in AAA.
