Series Thread: Rangers to bury the 'Stros in Houston 8/5-8/7

[Bmurph]

Thank JD for Lucroy, he is gonna carry us apparently

 

[WilltheThrill]

DDJ needs to play less... much less. We just cannot hit with RISP.

 

[donaldson79]

We're putting together another stellar performance with RISP.

Maybe to early, but I would have ph Beltran there.

It's almost always the 1-out hitter who screws us. The 2-out hitter has to get a hit, so his job is tougher. But all the 1-out hitter has to do at minimum is make a productive out, and our guys can't even do that.

 

[donaldson79]

Yu seems like he's developed a lot of faith, and quickly, with Lucroy.

 

[Bmurph]

Easy on that jump there Desi

Sure does

 

[donaldson79]

Wonder if Mike Rhyner is enjoying the game today? ha ha ha

 

[donaldson79]

My gosh Desmond that was a God awful AB.

DDJ wasn't even trying to execute there, that was really bad

 

[Bmurph]

Just watch 3rd strikes you jackwagons

 

[Duane1952]

He's throwing strikes, swing the bat.

 

[donaldson79]

He's throwing strikes, swing the bat.

He's walked exactly NONE.

I understand striking out. But I don't understand Desmond swinging at strike 2 which was a foot outta the zone, and then standing there and looking at a beautiful down the middle strike 3. Profar was same-same.

Ian is making a habit at taking 3rd call k's

 

[Kelleyman]

Cmon DDJ you cant do that

He did not look like an MLB hitter there. First one right down the pipe he could not handle.

Good pickup.

 

[Bmurph]

not a good pitch there Yu

 

[donaldson79]

I hope Profar's play - lack of play - doesn't doom this inning.

 

[Bmurph]

get the ball down
