Series Thread: Rangers shopping at Target for W's 8/11-8/13

Strasbourger subbed for Ham, he's got a bad knee. Shocker, he's missing a game

 

[Bmurph]

Choo should not be above the 7th spot, certainly not in the 2 hole

At least he saw quite a few pitches

 

[Bmurph]

Carry pretty well my ass Steve

 

[Bmurph]

throw strikes Nick

yeah just not there

 

[Duane1952]

That didn't take long.

I think Romeo called it when he said this team might be going into a skid.

It is amazing how many times our pitchers are working from behind in the count.

 

[Bmurph]

Thats a strikeout pitch

Nick isn't gonna get away with throwing that pitch in that location and count to anyone

 

[Bmurph]

another 25+ pitch inning in the first, for our starter. Means BP is likely to be used quite a bit, doesnt bode well

TOR still hasn't lost since acquiring Tulo, who I wanted. They're up 10-3 in the 3rd tonight. As I said when they made their trades, I thought we would be chasing the NYY pretty soon. They seem like a lock to go to at least the ALCS.

Adding Tulo, Price, Revere, will give most teams a boost. If only in morale

 

[Bmurph]

Get it going again Mitch

 

[Justinkm83]

It seems like we usually struggle against sinker ballers, or is it just me?

A couple 20 HR guys won't get it done in terms of production for a team, over a season. JD better hope Gallo gets ready soon

Toronto was already capable of winning games with that offense. Just made it easier.

Royals proved last year that homers don't matter more than a good bullpen and defense. Having 30 homer guys wouldn't hurt, but if the pen and defense keep sucking it will just be a lot more 7-6 losses vs 3-2.

Astros lead the league in homers, and don't really seem like much of a playoff threat.

Help them scratch out a W somehow, off to ballgame

That team is loaded. Tulo to many other teams may be a good add but it didn't work for Colorado but it does for Toronto. Rockies fans and players wanted Hurdle out and they haven't been the same since.
