Series Thread: Rangers have a sweet tooth and are hungry for some M's&M's - 8/17 - 8/19

Uhhhhhhhhh, let me restate that.

HaHa. He kind of turned it around didn't he. One more scoreless inning and he gets a quality start. Good experience for him. And he is getting some strikeouts as well.

Evan seems to think in September when we bring Chi Chi back up we will have a 6 man rotation during that stretch where we play 2 and a half weeks straight.

Shit, chi chi really turned it around. I was bitching about his lack of an out pitch and here he's struck out 7 through 6 innings.

As far back as he hasn't played.

Thank you.....Frankly, that's something I should, but didn't know.

Well keep bitching. Need all the help we can get

Just goes to show you about the old saying that good pitching beats good hitting.

That's a close to a truism as you can get IMO.

 

[romeo212000]

I really can't be mad at our hitters. The ump has been bad at times, but Iwakuma is just painting and then is devastating with that splitter.

Interesting that buzz mentioned Prince is hitting below .260 for the last 23 games. I thought he'd been trending downward for a while.

Right on cue, Prince whacks one.....ha ha

Say something else good about him......HURRY

 

[romeo212000]

Well we might be able to get a shot at their pen in the 8th and 9th innings.

Even if we didn't know the exact numbers, you knew it was going south.

I think a lot of it is his pitch selection. He's just not making good decisions up there right now.

Lovely night for another WO

That's the way it seems to work isn't it.

It seems like we've really gone high fastball crazy doesn't it?

He really has swung at some horrendous pitches. Surprised he got such a good pitch there to hit.

I'm not worried. He'll get the ship righted. Like to see everyone get hot for the month of September. This team has a chance to peak at the right time.

What was Chi Chi's pitch count? I missed it.

Right around 98-99 I think.

it must look like a beach ball to them all, cause they're all swinging at em

At his current rate, Iwakuma can go through 8 with only 106 pitches or so.

Chi-Chi really bounced back after a tough 1st/2nd. And I swear, when Sam throws strikes, he's a pretty decent arm.

And then, of course, he immediately gives up a frigging double.
