Series Thread: Rangers hope to revive offense at home vs A's 8/15-8/17

[Duane1952]

No he doesn't Duane. He's just not a great pitcher. But he gave us 6 innings last time out in well over 100 degree weather, and had we gone anything slightly better than 2-12 with RISP we'd won the game.

As far as "hurry back Holland" is concerned. Did you see his line (s) from AAA? He's sucking and it's in RR.

And he just walked back to back batters to load the bases. He pretty much sucks.

Harrell sucks

Zero control.

How did this guy ever get this far?

 

[WastinSomeTime]

Honestly don't want to lose this young man b/c he's going to be good for someone, at "whatever position" and I hope it's us.

Heard Lucroy say Odor is high energy and comes ready to play and that he is going to be some kind of player. So I guess we need to keep both.

Whatever pitcher we get back first, he needs to be DFA'd.

 

[WastinSomeTime]

Oakland has had a chance to bury us those 1st two innings

I surrender sir! ha ha ha

Good heavens.....47 pitches in 2 innings...it's only 1 run, but now the BP has gotta step up a lot more than we'd hoped going in.

Good grief Harrell. What in the world did JD see in this guy?

47 pitches thru 2 innings. At least he won't be around much longer tonight.

Two weeks to September call up.

Two weeks to September call up.

And what a bountiful and joyous day of pitching wealth might it bring?

It wouldn't hurt so much, if our offense was playing better.

Anything better than Harrell

 

[DT LUNA]

Anything better than Harrell

He's on the mound now

There's little substitute for runs scored in the grand scheme of things really.

He's on the mound now

So far, how ya got the squeal going?

Honestly, he's obviously not a good pitcher, but we don't need any more injuries.

Mendez is a possibility.

 

[WastinSomeTime]

Oakland have beenRangeresque with RISP.

Honestly, he's obviously not a good pitcher, but we don't need any more injuries.

The scheduling is such that this might have been his last start regardless, but your point is taken.
