Series Thread: Rangers Host the Mariners For Three Games May 2-4

[saddles]

they were pretty quiet for the whole team

In person, it was noticeably different for Pederson. I have never experienced that kind of non-reaction before. It was really odd.

One of the problems is that the team can't stay healthy with regard to Seager Langford Jung and Smith.
How many games have they actually played together this year? I am fairly certain it's not many.
They all need to play together for this offense to stay competitive. I know its still not enough but the team would probably be 18-15 or 19-14 if all 4 were in the same lineup this year. The team has lost 10 or 11 games that were close but 2 or 3 of them probably would have had a different outcome if all 4 guys that I mentioned were playing.
This is just a part of the problem. IMO it's been exacerbated because nobody else is hitting.
Think Heim and Leody are at probably where they should be.
It would be a big boost if Crim hits well so we don't have to count on Pederson or Burger so much in the future with respect to 1b or Dh

I am not certain our injuries are that uncommon. I think an offense needs to be good enough to keep plugging along with only one injured guy. If we went from scoring 4 to 6 runs most nights to scoring 3 or 4 when a hitter was hurt that would be one thing. It is another thing when you are scoring 1 or nothing a lot of the time. I remember when Kinsler and Cruz and Hamilton seemed to be banged up a lot and yet we still didn't fall completely flat.

Bochy gives Crim one start. The veterans he gives about a million starts.

Same old Bochy. Doesn’t give young players a chance.

We knew Corey was going to DH and he was not going to sit Joc again against RHP

Bochy is just lost.

It is still a bad decision. They brought the kid up to instill some life into the offense. He can't do that on the bench

Yanking him around will not make him any better. Shame on you Bochy.

Pederson has made about 20 starts at first base way back in 2019 with the Dodgers. He made 6 errors which is a terrible fielding percentage.

Anything to get this guy in the lineup.

Only someone who is being forced to (or a damn moron) puts this guy in the 4 hole when he’s struggling this bad. Absolutely absurd baseball move. Fire someone’s ass

Just not sure decision I bet he gets plenty of playing time when Corey is at SS
I think it would be a bad decision to sit Joc who just flashed the leather

 

[Kelleyman]

Harris looked like he owned CF going back for that ball. Hope he does well with the bat today

 

[DTLUNA]

Can't buy a rbi

 

[Duane1952]

No protection for Seagar.

He needs to flash the bat, which is what he was hired to do and he has failed miserably

 

[Duane1952]

He has had 79 at bats and hitting.101. That should be enough proof for anyone that he needs to be gone.

Langford is sliding down hil.
