Series Thread: Rangers last go around with the Angels, at Globe Life 9/19-9/21

Get him in Ian.

 

[PhantomWarrior]

This David Murphy strike zone is really annoying.

 

[darrylgann]

That is not me. Close, sorta.

 

[PhantomWarrior]

Way to go Matt

It's hard to explain how great the pitching is and how terrible the offense is.

And last week they were raking.

 

[darrylgann]

Where did that rain come from?

 

[PhantomWarrior]

Lol look at the radar. That rain came out of nowhere

 

[WilltheThrill]

We're hitting WAY too many weak ground-outs and pop-outs lately. Strikeouts haven't been a big problem, but we're not barreling up on the ball. That indicates that we're hitting a lot out on our front foot. They're not sitting back and loading up on the ball. Elvis is making pretty solid contact, but everyone else is very hit-and-miss (no pun intended).

I know look at the local radar.

Good analysis I agree. Although that last fly out by Desmond shows a bit of an adjustment. Hopefully good news.

It is unreal that area around the Ballpark is the only area north of Beaumont in Texas where rain is currently falling. It seems if it rains anywhere in the Metroplex that it almost always rains at the Ballpark.

In other news, how does Dave Raymond have a job? I'm seriously asking. How has the Rangers management and Fox Sports allowed his incompetence to continue? I know for a fact that multiple people have called in to complain about him being so awful. It's not just the board here that hates him either. Facebook, ESPN, and LSB are all filled with comments about how awful Raymond is. It's literally the one thing that ALL Rangers fans agree on. There hasn't been one single comment defending him. When they fired Lewin for being "too pop culture", there were differing opinions on him. Not this time. Every last fan hates listening to him and the complaints are all identical- "boring, put-me-to-sleep, ignorant of the game".

The Rangers HAVE to know how awful he is. If they cared so much about getting rid of Lewin, why not care now? It's embarrassing how awful he is.

Why don't they just put Nadal in the booth. ?

I am not sure if you all have been watching the entire game but we hit the ball hard off Chacin just right at people. Even tried to break his ankle and got a fielders choice out of it. And this from a guy who has no problem complaining about our offense.

Yes, I have watched the game. I've also watched the last 3-4 as well, including one in person. They aren't hitting it hard. One or two a game isn't going to cut it. Tonight Beltran hit a few line drive outs, there was the one off the pitcher's ankle, and the 2 HR. And tonight has been better than the Oakland series. There have been a lot of weakly hit balls lately.

 

[darrylgann]

Rua now Hoyings?

 

[WilltheThrill]

And now, because we just HAD to put Jared Hoying in as a "defensive replacement", he is up with the bases loaded and 2 outs.

 

[WilltheThrill]

Pray for a walk here.

 

[Duane1952]

What do they see in Hoying.
