Series Thread: Rangers Travel to Tampa For Three Games With the Rays June 2-4

[WastinSomeTime]

Bochy looked outcoached last night

I'm not sure what he could have done differently. He didn't start Garcia which is what most of us wanted. He brought Garcia and Haggerty in and Garcia scored our only run. Our offense has been inept the entire season. When Bochy does something wrong I have no problem voicing my opinion and I personally ready for a new coach but he didn't do anything that I can blame him for the loss last night.

The offense has been inept the this season and last season.

What I am hoping for from Rocker:

5 innings
4 hits
2 walks
2 runs
5 strike outs

 

[saddles]

Barnhart has re-signed.

I would have brought in García instead of Latz. Highest leverage part of the game
Let Latz start an inning fresh

Thr double steal seemed to surprise us

2 runs
5 strike outs

I would like more than that. 5 innings is fine but one run or less
Like to see his FB a work better but if. It use the sinker not and dominate with his slider

That sounds reasonable

I almost forgot if Rocker gives up 2 runs we still have a good chance to lose.
However I will go out on a limb and say we pull out a win tonight.
I like when this board is in a celebratory mood.

Yeah, is is not a high bar by any means, but it is his first game back. I am willing to give him a game to get back on track. Although, a 3.60 ERA would be very good for him this year.

Yeah, I don't think it is right for us to expect every pitcher to be great just to help our putrid offense. That should work both ways.

Unless I missed something, Carter should have caught that HR ball.

 

[Duane1952]

Far as I’m concerned, same old Garcia.

 

[fanman8825]

I missed it. Just got in. You think Carter misjudged it?

 

[DTLUNA]

Apparently he did. Ball appeared to hit the wall and bounced back on to the field. Maybe we can get another opinion

 

[jaar01]

Rocker needs a full season in the bigs to figure things out. He'll be good next year.

 

[DTLUNA]

Bacsik has pointed out mistakes by Rocker that he should have learned in college.

 

[Duane1952]

This is just a bad team.

 

[DTLUNA]

When is the last time Heim threw out a runner at 2B? Well that is to long.

 

[fanman8825]

.

This is just a bad team.

It sure looks that way
