Series Thread: Rangers Return Home to Face Boston for Three Games September 18-20

[WilltheThrill]

Before tonight, Kutter Crawford had allowed 12 earned runs in his last 11 innings pitched. Boston fans were literally posting stuff about hoping he never pitched again.

And here we are getting completely shut down by him. We simply can’t hit. Hyers needs to be fired ASAP. If we’re not striking out, we’re weakly popping or grounding out. Very, very few balls are hit hard. We get lucky for about 1-2 runs per game and that’s it.

Bullseye

Since Lowe’s single in the 1st, rangers have got 2 balls out the infield

Monty throwing a beauty. He could use some support

At least Carter is a breath of fresh air

Just about the only one trying

Here we go. Can the BP hold this lead?

 

[Senator_fan]

This is torture.

 

[DT LUNA]

Here we go. Can the BP hold this lead?

looking sad

Here we go. Can the BP hold this lead?

Nope. Runners on 2nd and third nobody out.

 

[saddles]

Is Stratton hurt?

 

[Duane1952]

The only bullpen pitchers that deserve to be back next season is Stratton and if they’re not starting Bradford and Heany.

 

[scotsman1948]

And 2 runs in

 

[DT LUNA]

This is disgusting.

 

[WilltheThrill]

There it is. Starter pitches a gem. Lineup only provides him with 1-2 runs of support. Bullpen promptly blows it.

This has happened so many times, I’ve lost count. Pathetic.

 

[Senator_fan]

Impossible for bullpen to get 6 straight outs after the 7th.

Why don't we ever pitch Stratton in the late innings? That is 3 really good starts by Monty in the last month we have blown.

 

[WilltheThrill]

And nobody has to answer for this trash. Not CY. Not Bochy. Not Maddux. Not the bullpen pitchers themselves.

Our media is a joke. Ask CY why on earth he thought this group of relievers was anywhere close to good enough. Ask Bochy why he continually puts his worst relievers in the most crucial spots. Ask Maddux why he hasn’t done anything to change their approach. And point blank ask the pitchers why they are so awful. I would pay money to hear Evan Grant ask Will Smith or Jose LeClerc why they continually let all of their teammates down.

Boo Will Smith off the field.
