Series Thread: Rangers to clip the Cardinals in St. Louis 6/17-6/19

[Duane1952]

One would have to think Moreland would have gotten to that ball.

I was thinking that too.

 

[darrylgann]

I'm sure someone is ready to come in for Nick. Saw them warming up.

 

[Duane1952]

Left Nick in there an inning to long.

Way to "utilize" this spot start and the BP Banister.

I've been a pretty ardent supporter of Jeff, but today's use of start/pen is just ridiculous.

 

[darrylgann]

Well kinda too late now for Ramos, but oh well. Maybe we'll start hitting.

 

[Duane1952]

Nice play Cheerios and Desmond.

Damn it, Banister didn't even have someone up when the LO man in the 5th got a single. He waited until Martinez issued a 4 pitch walk, and then, ONLY THEN, gets someone up.

That's fucking brain dead IMO.

 

[darrylgann]

Cardinals can always find these good young arms for their rotation.

 

[donaldson79]

If I were playing the Rangers, I'd have to think pretty hard about trying to score on a medium, lazy fly ball to center.

And that's another old baseball adage....."don't make the last out of an inning at home."

I'm done with him if he plays Prince tomorrow.

Not positive what you mean by "I'm done?"

We're in 1st place in our division, best record in the AL. But, I've certainly got my "disagreements" with Mr Banister - several well documented ones just today - but I like what's "overall" going on with the Rangers.

 

[donaldson79]

There's another play from Odor which should be worked on/discussed...worked on like, "this ain't your fucking ball," between him, infield coach, Banister, and certainly the OFers.

 

[Kelleyman]

Tough game so far. Boy that first inning DP bites as Mitch finally gets to show his face

I will have no faith him to do the right by sitting Prince and some of the pitching moves he makes. He is no better than Wash. Wash did the same thing with David Murphy his last year he was here when he was in a year long slump. Somethings your team wins inslite of the bad decisions your manager makes.

Two days now we haven't been hitting. Rua should be at 1st and Fielder sitting. That would improve offense and defense. Moreland is brain dead and PH'ing when Elvis would be a better choice. And MM K's. Banister needs to take a day off imo.

 

[donaldson79]

Banister needs to take a day off imo.

Does today count?

 

[donaldson79]

LOOKIE....LOOKIE here fellas!

Inning bout to be over.

 

[romeo212000]

And that's why you don't bat a guy hitting below the Mendoza line fourth in your order.

 

[DT LUNA]

Inning bout to be over.

How on earth did you know that?
