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

[DT LUNA]

I doubt Monty will want to resign.

 

[Duane1952]

The Rangers don’t belong in the playoffs. They will get embarrassed.

 

[DT LUNA]

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.

Good question

Could have signed Moore. Could have signed Robertson. Will Smith was an after thought and Chapman was signed out of desperation.

The Rangers don’t belong in the playoffs. They will get embarrassed.

It’s a shame, because a small group of them do. The starting pitchers all deserve a shot. Corey Seager deserves to be there. Carter does too. And for the most part, Garver and Semien do as well. But the coaching staff, bullpen, and at least half of the lineup don’t, that’s for sure.

5-3 houston in 7

 

[scotsman1948]

Game over. Top 3 in our lineup ground out, ground out, ground out

 

[DT LUNA]

Went out and got Stratton and pitches Smith. Insane!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Duane1952]

Why do the Rangers insist on playing players coming off the IL without a rehab stint. I don’t think Jung or Garcia had any rehab at bats.

 

[DT LUNA]

Our news media is weak. Won't ask right questions.

 

[WastinSomeTime]

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.

I am glad someone mentioned Maddux besides me. He has done nothing to improve one single pitcher.

5-3 houston in 7

5-5 now.

 

[Senator_fan]

3 up 3 down most likely.

 

[Senator_fan]

Astros lead 6-5 now.

 

[DT LUNA]

We are going to have to re-evaluate some position players.

 

[DT LUNA]

The pen was bad but the bats could have been better also.

 

[Duane1952]

We are going to have to re-evaluate some position players.

Need to evaluate some coaches too.

 

[jaar01]

This really is the worst bullpen in baseball. I wish the season would just end. The offense doesn't care and our bullpen is trash, trash, and more trash.

And for those thinking Montgomery is coming back? My gosh why would ANY legit pitcher come to this nightmare staff. The answer is no. He won't sign with Texas. Probably back to the Cardinals.

 

[Duane1952]

I hope Bochy retires again.

 

[Senator_fan]

Too bad they won’t call up Wyatt Langford. He’s major league ready and could provide a spark.
