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

[Nightcrawler]

In 2010, Derek Holland missed 2 and a half months with rotator cuff problems.

Is that before or after Wrigley did his thing?

 

[Kelleyman]

Bet they are glad they did not have Sborz take one more pitch

 

[DT LUNA]

Good AB's driving up pitch count on Blanco.

 

[Nightcrawler]

We have had some stiff competition to open the season. The cubs just beat the dodgers in a series. The rays always seem to win 100 games and the Astros are the Astros.

hopefully we can feast on our first bad opponent coming up.

 

[DT LUNA]

Not fond of interviewing players during play.

 

[Bmurph]

You cant nibble and walk guys and then throw their arguably best hitter a meatball. No excuse for walking the #9 guy

 

[DT LUNA]

This ump is hurting us.

 

[Bmurph]

Wyatt got screwed there....this ump is trash. His zone is all over the place

 

[WastinSomeTime]

Just looking at pitch tracker so I can really tell but it looks like Langford was hosed by the umpire. Shows last 2 called strikes were not.

Bochy needs to go off in that case.

Dolis was swinging at. a FB there, before the changeup even came out of his hand

Yea he got hosed

Absolutely. Dane wasn't getting those called and he threw several that were closer

 

[DT LUNA]

Better put some runs on the board......time is getting short.

 

[DT LUNA]

Screwed again on low pitch to Heim

Yes like now

 

[Bmurph]

That is another terrible strike call to Marcus. Screw this guy

What’s up with Blanco? He’s been an average pitcher at best.

 

[DT LUNA]

Dunning has pitched well. It's our offense that will lose the game if we do.

I won't say he didnt have the Rangers off balance with the changeup but he got the benefit of 5-6 pitches that were not strikes, called strikes, that weren't. That definitely changes the course of AB's.
