Series Thread: Rangers Host the Athletics For Four Games April 28 - May 1

[Kelleyman]

Shouldn't Marcus be hitting 8th or 9th?

I think so but so many others are so bad that it could be them. The think about Marcus is he has been bad over a year

I would have to check, but I wonder which of our hitters have put up the worst numbers over the last 25 to 30 plate appearances. If we had a batting order based on the numbers from the last 25 to 30 plate appearances where the best hitter batted first and the worst hit ninth, I wonder what that would look like.

Marcus is at least top 3 worst l. Adolis on a bad stretch

We really need Jung to get better.

Here’s how I think Ron Washington would make out the lineup for most games as compared to the 2011 team.

Smith Kinsler

Semien Andrus

Seager Hamilton

Langford Young

Jung Beltre

Garcia Cruz

Taveras/Pillar Murphy

Burger Napoli

Heim/Higashioka Moreland

Smith would be permanent DH. Pederson only PH

I think your just about spot on

 

[saddles]

Alejandro Osuna has gone 22 for his last 62. His slash line in that time is:

.355/.429/.548

 

[fanman8825]

Team has to win tonight and get Degrom his first win. Seriously we're playing game 30 and he still does not have a win.
Please Bochy no lineup like last night.

I don't think Wash would have ever given Josh Smith the chance Bochy did last year. Probably not Bradford either.

I still think Jung is in the middle. If my memory serves me well Garcia has had 2 opportunities with the Rangers tied or behind one with the bases loaded. He has nothing to show for plus we lost those games.
This was last night and about a week ago.

Osuna deserves to play up here. The team is desperate for offense and needs to take a chance on him.

To do that they have to let Leody go
Heard Osuna has a hit streak happening

Fully agree. Even at AA we can probably use them. This is how bad the offense has been.

 

[saddles]

Worst BA over the past 25 to 30 plate appearances. These are listed worst to best.

.138 Garcia
.160 Burger
.167 Pederson
.200 Semien(lower OPS than Leody))
.200 Taveras
.222 Smith
.250 Harris
.269 Heim
.292 Jung
.300 Higashioka

Pillar would be right in between Harris and Heim, but he barely has that many plate appearances for the full year so I didn't include him.

They are desperate so they have to do something.

I have no problem letting Leody go

He would probably have to throw a complete game shutout.

So has Garica.
