Chaulk this one up.

At least Seattle lost.

3rd Anderson pitching now. That must be an MLB record.

We have two more in the upper levels of the minors.

Grant Anderson has been terrible, every time he’s been brought up. It’s hard to understand why they keep throwing him out there.

He had lots of help tonight.

 

[WastinSomeTime]

Exactly but they keep putting out Anderson who can’t get out the Angels worst hitter.
Does Bochy care about winning regular season games?
This is so frustrating

Who do you suggest we put in this early in the game? They pretty much all stink.

 

[WastinSomeTime]

We don't have any position player on this team who can carry this team. Seager is the guy I thought would do that but he has really struggled.

7th straight game without being able to score more than 4 runs in a game.

Thinking the line up needs shuffled around a bit

To me Seager is the biggest reason why the offense is struggling. Then losing Jung was huge as I thought he would have a big year

Maybe it is time to swap out Grant Anderson for his twin brother. He has done extremely well since being promoted to Round Rock. His Round Rock ERA is at 0.61 after tonight's game.

Maybe it they catch us it will make some guys flip their switch back on.

Your right they all do but Anderson is the worst. His Whip right now is 2.29 ouch. I mean he was bad last year too.
At this point I would give Gerson Garabito an opportunity. He has pitched well at RR. Hard to imagine he would be worse than Anderson.
Rangers didn’t do enough in the offseason with the bullpen. I understand the Ballys TV deal May have squashed some spending, but I thought they could have tried to unload Tavares for more relief pitching but apparently that was not on the table.
Heaney and Uhera go to the bullpen when Bradford and Eovaldi come back.

Yes I would definitely entertain Aiden and or Gerson Garabito. Both have pitched well. Can’t get much worse than Grant Anderson.

If the Reds continue to stink, I'd strongly entertain a trade for Nick Martinez. His numbers aren't quite as good as with the Padres but still solid. He can start, and he can give multiple innings out of the pen. He is what I believe Andrew Heaney could ideally be.
I think he is a guy that would bring significant stability to the Texas bullpen. Plus, he's already familiar with Maddux from his first stint as a Ranger.

I really wanted to sign him in the offseason.

Looks like Festus Hagen's saddle bags.
