The Jays had a totally RHed lineup at that time and the Rangers were up 2-0 basically because of their RHed pitching, the only LHed pitcher that fared well against the Jays that series was Diekman. I opined at the time to another guy who used to post here (passed away because of cancer) that if Banny had played more to the matchups (RHP vs RHed lineup) they could have won that series. But instead Banny trotted out Hamels, Perez and Holland and that was the end of that, the Jays feasted on those LHers and the series and season was over...

I remember thinking yovani gallardo did really well against the jays and that we needed to pitch him again. Oh well banny was a meat head and the rest is history.

Do you guys know of anyways I can watch the rangers without paying for AT&T? It sucks that I can’t watch this team.

So we are 7th worst in the rankings that include the whole organization. I did notice that that list doesn't include pitchers who had to have TJS prior to their first professional pitch. That means Mason Englert and Owen White were not included. If there was a chart that did include those who were drafted, but who had yet to throw a professional pitch, we might very well be tied for second worst.

Reminder that we've got an early game today.

Other than swapping Calhoun & IKF and giving Trevino the day off after a night game what is different? A hot LHB to bat 1st then R, L, L, R, L, R, R & S

Gallo should not hit higher than 5th, and preferably 6th in this lineup.

Calhoun/IKF are interchangeable as 1/2, and the same for Solak/Lowe at 3/4. I prefer Garcia following them.

Garcia has the higher AVG, SLG, and OPS.

still think Garcia right now provides a backstop for Gallo. don't think after them that Dahl. Calhoun/IKF. Culberson & Trevino/Heim provide a backstop

I get that, but I'd prefer Garcia get the opportunity to drive in runs. I want to see what we have with this guy.

 

[scotsman1948]

Gallo goes deep center and then Garcia doubles to right.

1-1. Top of 2nd
