Series Thread: Rangers Host the White Sox For Three Games June 13-15

Hard to believe. Pederson signing still haunting the team. Don't know what CY was thinking.

 

[fanman8825]

I don't know what Bochy is thinking. Probably our two worst relievers to close it out. Just let Jackson finish it out.

I agree just let him finish it out. You knew Venable was going to counter the Garcia move with a righty. So we got Taylor Instead of just sticking with pitching to Noda.
Not very smart Bochy

 

[fanman8825]

Hope this gets over soon. Hate going thru the bullpen

 

[DTLUNA]

Should have brought Dunning or Rocker up. BP will be streched out tomorrow.

I was hoping Bochy would try a suicide squeeze with Smith at bat.

This Ranger team is not good. Deserve to lose this one.

Tough to keep watching this drag on

Thought the same thing.

Lose today...Lose tomorrow with no bullpen left. Maybe the worst loss of the season today.

Time to walk it off.

 

[fanman8825]

Jung owes us big time

 

[DTLUNA]

Win

 

[fanman8825]

Thank You Garcia. 2nd walk off for him this year

 

[Senator_fan]

Series win!

Time to walk it off.

I don't know about you but this game was starting to get excruciating for me

 

[jaar01]

Well this was a big and necessary win. Phew! Not sure who can even pitch tomorrow. Duran?

Gross lack of fundamentals on this team. There is zero ability to manufacture runs and play small ball. More specifically, their inability to just put the ball in play with 0 or 1 outs and runners on base is especially embarrassing. Getting a hit in the majors is difficult. Putting the bat on the ball and just putting it in play is not, especially when facing mediocre relievers. There are high school kids who could ground out or fly out with 0 or 1 outs. But the Rangers strike out. They have zero clue what a productive out is. They don’t even attempt to move runners over to third by hitting it to the right side. No bunting guys over. Nothing.

We need a closer in the worst way

Don’t worry. 70 year old Craig Kimbrel is just days away from joining the bullpen.

not sure if you saw my post about their record when they score 3 (or less) versus 4 runs (or more), just illustrates the importance of what you just stated
