Series Thread: Rangers Travel to Boston For Three Games May 6-8

Semien kills another rally.

He should be batting 9th.

 

[Bmurph]

He should be batting 9th.

Unfortunately, there are too many that need to be dropped to 8 or 9. I can't for the life of me understand why there are guys batting below .150, in the top 4 spots in the order

Looks like it’s going to be one of those games. Inexcusable not to score there.

 

[saddles]

It is painfully obvious that Semien needs to hit 8th or 9th, to everyone except Bochy, that is.

 

[scotsman#1948]

only team in baseball that can have 5 base runners in an inning and not score

 

[saddles]

In his last 138 games last year, Marcus Semien hit .228. In his first 37 games this year he is hitting .182. He appears to be done.

 

[saddles]

Boston should put Garcia on and pitch to Semien.

It has become painful to watch Bochy manage a baseball team these days. My 14 year-old can manage better than he can at this point. Somehow he has lost it all together or someone has to be forcing his hand, on lineups. Nobody can be that bad with as many years as he has been around baseball. Makes no sense

He needs to retire

 

[Duane1952]

With these players and manager, this team is far from being a playoff team.

 

[scotsman#1948]

was sitting here considering who needs to be benched from the 9 batting today came up with 7

75 million reasons not to....unfortunately.

 

[WastinSomeTime]

Expect much the same tomorrow against Skubal.

 

[saddles]

Expect much the same tomorrow against Skubal.

Only, a lot less baserunners.

He certainly needs to be released at the end of this year, if not sooner.

 

[DTLUNA]

What is it going to take for Bochy to see the light?

Don’t think he can. Hopefully he’s gone after this season.

i agree but do we really believe the owners are going to eat $72 million

If they want to win, they will need to. They could keep him on the bench, but will that become a problem? Whatever they do, he cannot be allowed to be the starting second baseman next year. He really needs to be replaced at this year's trade deadline, if they want to do well this season. He is killing the team.

It is a wasted $70 million either way.

He was simply a bad signing by a GM who suddenly had money burning a hole in his pocket.

Put him on waivers and see if anyone will claim him.
