Series Thread: Rangers Travel to Boston For Three Games June 12-14

[WastinSomeTime]

We have been so bad at coming through with the bases loaded that what a relief that Nimmo doubled there.

 

[Duane1952]

Freeman has been pretty good with the bat. Hitting.444.

 

[WastinSomeTime]

Contreras is having a career year.

 

[Duane1952]

The Rangers need to find a better first baseman next season.

And here comes the bullpen meltdown

 

[Duane1952]

Trying to make Burger into a 1B has not worked out. Should be the right handed DH.

We need to develop one in the minors. We seem to treat that position like the Cowboys used to treat place kickers.

Wonder if Fosque can play first?

What's your alternative for a decent 1B right now?

 

[Kelleyman]

They really lack the killer instinct bat wise which you need to be a consistent winner. Hate to say but play not to lose which fails

 

[WastinSomeTime]

They worked with him at that position for a little while and I am all for that. But it was just 10 games. Maybe they can make that a priority for next season.

 

[Kelleyman]

Maybe Jung goes to 1B if Walcott works out. Maybe Nimmo or Corey at some point

 

[Duane1952]

What's your alternative for a decent 1B right now?

Right now it would be Foscue. When Seager gets back it would be Duran.

 

[Duane1952]

I was holding my breath there.

 

[DTLUNA]

WIN

 

[Duane1952]

Ballgame. Latz does it again.

 

[Kelleyman]

Latz plays for keeps. Losing is never an option
He challenges. Not trying to nibble
Dares them to beat his best stuff

Rest of Rangers need to imitate his mentality

 

[WastinSomeTime]

Right now it would be Foscue. When Seager gets back it would be Duran.

I liked when you said we need a 1B NEXT SEASON. I think to permanently do something at that position now isn't in our best interest. I do believe Duran can do it but Duran has done well at many positions including the OF so we need him to be free to roam. I am concerned about his at bats right now as he's chasing a lot of pitches out of the zone.

 

[Kelleyman]

Duran could use a day off

 

[WastinSomeTime]

Does anyone know why we played a day game yesterday but a night game tonight on a getaway day where we have a home game tomorrow night?
