Series Thread: Rangers in a short home stand with the A's

We were gonna need more than one run anyways.

 

[Justinkm83]

Not one ball hit hard.

Gonzalez has the same problem as Martinez, finishing off hitters, I see a lot of similarities, better fastball and probably better command though

TEX as of tonight has a 12-man pitching staff so has a four man bench. So if Josh bumps Gallo (which makes sense to ensure he gets daily PT) ... what happens when DeShields ... and then Blanks are able to return?

 

[Justinkm83]

Damn. I thought we were going to miss Gray.

Martin gets bumped down to the bench?

Blanks gets ABs against LHPs at 1B, and Martin against RHPs in CF?

 

[Justinkm83]

I really don't think Beltre should be out there.

Chi chi has a change up that can turn into a nice out pitch.

 

[romeo212000]

These extreme over shifts are an abomination.

Til then I'm skeptical

Whose roster spot does DeShields get? Whose roster spot does Blanks get?

 

[WastinSomeTime]

They are staying out on the field regardless Buzz

 

[romeo212000]

Whose roster spot does DeShields get? Whose roster spot does Blanks get?

Gallo gets optioned to make room for Hamilton.

Alberto gets optioned to make room for DDJ

A bullpen pitcher gets optioned for Blanks.

 

[jta4437]

Whose roster spot does DeShields get? Whose roster spot does Blanks get?

Gallo, Alberto, Odor & Rua are prime candidates

 

[romeo212000]

How does a Punch and Judy hitter like Martin not learn to take the ball to left more often?

 

[romeo212000]

Gallo, Alberto, Odor & Rua are prime candidates

Forgot about Rua.

 

[romeo212000]

Rua has hit the ball hard.

 

[jta4437]

Forgot about Rua.

Just depends on who they want to play 2B, wouldn't mind Alberto playing the UTIL role and spelling Andrus once a week.... or after every game he has a stupid error

I prefer Rua b/c he's a RHer

If Odor keeps hitting its gonna be hard to send him back down.

 

[romeo212000]

TAG and Buzz strike again.
