Series Thread: Rangers Host the Astros for Four Games April 5-8

So, why do we have a "long" reliever if if couldn't be used when the starter can't make it through the 4th. Instead he comes in when the game is lost.

Anderson lived up to my expectations.

You nailed it. Good question.

Odd use of the pitching staff tonight. Not the way I would have even considered drawing it up

Since the GIDP by Semien in the first.......Langford is the only. one that looks like he's even cared at the plate

What happens to Walsh when Lowe comes back.

 

[saddles]

Those first two games are now completely offset by these last two. This is very disappointing.

I like our pen alot more this year then last
But I do not trust
Yerry
Grant
Burke

It will get better
Wish we would bring up
Kelly
Church
Heaney to the pen when Lorenzen up
Sound about right?

 

[Duane1952]

Urena should have been brought in, instead of Burke.

I really don’t trust LeClerc either.

 

[Bmurph]

Lots of really shitty AB's the last couple nights

 

[Kelleyman]

That is on Bochy there.....Burke is not who you go to with runners on. He gives up hits every damn time he comes in, even with no runners on. He was not good last year and he appears to be worse this year

This is why they need to Kelly. Burke is thought of as your high leverage LH specialist which he ain’t

 

[Kelleyman]

Why are they keeping Ornelas on tje 40 man. Him and Winn could clear a couple of spots.

Ornelas value has to be down

Heaney will pitch a gem and then bomb out. Gray can pitch 5 consecutive bad games before having a good start. My hope is that when we get some other starters back then Gray and Heaney can go to the pen. That's where they both belong but between the two I think you may get more good starts from Heaney than Gray. But it's close.

The flaws thought was a Burke is here to be able to get Yordan out which to me he can’t do
So why do we have him

But yeah maybe have Urenas relive Heaney

 

[Duane1952]

8 unanswered runs shouldn’t happen with the Rangers offense.

 

[Bmurph]

Hedges looks good compared to Knizner

I still don’t know why they won’t give Huff a chance to be the backup.

 

[Senator_fan]

That game flat out sucked.

That game flat out sucked.

Very disappointed. Wanted 3 out of 4 from Houston. The opportunity was there when Valdez was scratched.
