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

Who would I take out of the order to play Moreland? No one. Same question for Rua? Fielder.

I would play Moreland over Fielder simply for his glove, not to mention he's actually been on a better roll than Fielder, not to mention Wacha is RHed

Fielder at 1B. No Moreland and no Rua.

Wonder why Chirinos isn't catching?

Didn't he just catch back to back games? including a day game?

As long as it's not both MM and Fielder in at the same time I'm good.

Man, have you changed. Never knew you to be ok with Mitch.

Both have looked better of late. Of course when their avg are what they are, up was about the only option.

Fielder hit the ball on the nose twice last night.

I think it could really benefit us to have Hamels on the hill tonight. Being an old NL man and all.

What's the latest word on Darvish, besides him missing his next start?

Been wondering the same thing. It's been eerily quiet on that front.

Rarely a good thing imo.

Has the league caught up with Mazara?

Just time for him to adjust and learn.

 

[donaldson79]

The Cardinals are starting 3 guys from Texas tonight. Carpenter, Wacha and Grichuk.

 

[donaldson79]

Just time for him to adjust and learn.

It's part of the process. I'm not concerned. But he hasn't hit the ball nearly as well over the past 6-10 games as he did earlier. And I'm not just talking about the hits. It's hard hit balls.

Yu Darvish to work on ironing out 'laziness' in delivery that led to shoulder soreness | SportsDay

Fuck off, Prince.

Interesting. Thanks for the post.

I get the feeling he's done for the foreseeable future. Like, rest of this month.

Defensively (DRS) with team leader(s)
C: +1 (T-12th; Holyday +2)
1B: +4 (4th; Moreland +4)
2B: -3 (T-22nd; Profar +1)
3B: +7 (T-4th; Beltre +7)
SS: +5 (T-7th; Alberto +4, Andrus + 1) Kinda surprised on this one
RF: 0 (T-14th; Mazara +2)
CF: -1 (T-17th; Desmond +1)
LF: +5 (T-6th; Desmond & Mazara +2)

Posted this in the A's thread, when I should've posted it here, I was reminded when they were just talking about the Card's defense being so bad and our being solid, some truth in that statement

 

[DT LUNA]

Good ab EA

 

[donaldson79]

Nice walk EA. Should have been the pitch before, so I'm pleased he threw another one way outta the zone.
