Series Thread: Rangers in Oakland to clinch the West! 9/23-9/25

[DT LUNA]

I don't like when Chirinos fakes that throw to 1st because he is not able to frame the pitch. There have been a number of times a bordeline pitch was thrown but he jumps up so quick that the ump calls it a ball. Just so happens that wasn't a bordeline pitch.

Right and with two outs and Yu ahead in the count he should not attempt a throw going wrong.

It doesn't GET Hoying to the plate as he would have been coming to the plate regardless.

 

[DT LUNA]

Elvis gets #2. All 4 rbi's for Elvis.

 

[WastinSomeTime]

Good thing we didn't have so many minor league players that Andrus sat also.

 

[Rudy_Rangerfan]

Hoying is anoying

He has had an outstanding year.

Knowing this team this lineup will score 10 runs. Lol

Elvis and Rua providing all the offense in this game.

 

[PhantomWarrior]

I never expect a manager to field a team he doesn't believe can win and that's the case here imo

But just think of all the late inning PH options...

 

[Nightcrawler]

4 run lead should be pretty safe. I'd take Darvish out after an inning or two and let the bullpen finish. Rather safe than sorry this late in the season.

I would imagine we would see Jeffress today.

 

[Rudy_Rangerfan]

Well at least Desmond got a day off

That seems unlikely. I thought I read that it would take him a week to get ready.

I would imagine we would see Jeffress today.

Hoping he's learned his lesson , doubt it

About time. Really deserving

 

[Nightcrawler]

Well at least Desmond got a day off

I'd give him and several other players tomorrow off if we win this one with our triple A squad out there.

 

[WastinSomeTime]

Chirinos has done a good job of blocking those pitches in the dirt.

 

[DT LUNA]

Yu has handled Davis well just as Cole did, o'fers

 

[saddles]

Glad to see the offense showing up before the last couple of innings of the game.

 

[Nightcrawler]

Great outing by Yu today

 

[Bmurph]

That was two nasty pitches to k Gallo but not sure they were strikes
