Rangers break losing streak vs Twins 6/27-6/29

[donaldson79]

I could see Cheerios getting some ABs vs LHPs at 1B

And why not? What do we have to lose with trying him there? Giminez too for that matter. We've got a two headed monster - Murphy/Pena now - so I don't really see a down side.

 

[donaldson79]

Anything but that Choice

Poor guy.....he needs to be at RR in some kind of big way......Adduci should be back in about 3 weeks if memory serves.

I'd like to see Cheerios work the count a little better though

Not sure what the plan for Soto would/should be once he's healthy

Man throw was there Pena couldn't reach him

I'm glad the Rangers have finally cobbled together a somewhat effective bullpen

Tolleson (3.52), Cotts (3.41), Soria (2.70), Frasor (2.13), Baker (5.93) as the long man, and then there's Rowen (3.18) who was not impressive at all in his last outing but seemed to be ok before that... we shall see

Good job guys

 

[Bmurph]

Thank you Roogie, May have saved a run there

Choice 5 for his last 55. Needs to be sent down.

Lots of missed opportunities today. Would hate to see this one get away.

Until E Beltre or Adduci is back there isn't much to bring up in his spot

I've been saying this for a month......but problem is, who comes up is our rub?....... at this point, at least to me, I'd just as soon see Robertson play and MC go down.

Don't udmisunderstand, MC has a future here, I think, and Robertson doesn't. But we're absolutely torturing Choice by putting him in over his head day after day IMO. I just hope we're not damaging his psychological approach long term.

Besides, we knew he needed a solid 400+ AB in the minors before next season to be properly evaluated. He's only here due to circumstances; most of which weren't of his doing.

 

[Justinkm83]

Well that figures that Morales is the one that did it with me here.

 

[Bmurph]

That should just about do it

 

[darrylgann]

That kind of day. Guess you kinda question bringing in Soria as to how the Twins have hit him this year. But the whole day has been going their way

 

[donaldson79]

We have the guys up we want up......we are totally in control of our one game destiny.

Apparently not.....Pena is taking a seat. ahahaha

At this point i would put Robertson out there, and call up Hoying from AAA.

I could see this....but is he on our 40 man roster?

Gawd.....we've had two really shit AB for it to be the 9th inning.

 

[Bmurph]

At least they made it exciting here in the ninth, looked like dogshit

 

[Duane1952]

We lose, and Saunders is pitching tomorrow.

 

[WastinSomeTime]

Great 9th. We swung at the bad pitches and watched the good ones go by. But on a positive we had 3 straight good starts.
