Series Thread: Rangers Travel to the Great Northwest to Play Mariners 6/10-6/12

Holland and his almost 5 ERA have no business being in the rotation. Griffin has earned the right to stay until he proves otherwise, and Perez has been much better of late.

OK Tag quit talking shop

 

[Bmurph]

Kuma has figured it out and we aren't hitting anything hard now

 

[DT LUNA]

Dawn will be breaking soon enough. Later gents.

 

[Bmurph]

not getting strike calls on the edge

Griffin needs to prove he can get back before that...Rolling with N-Mart and Chi CHi won't be much better than Derek...it sucks.

left butt check

3 HR's, you stink tonight Derek

Holland is Dr Jekel and Mr. Hyde. So inconsistent. I think he reached his peak 2010-2012.

Perez is showing him up this season.

the 5 starts at the end of 2014 were so promising but he just can't execute right now

Night DT. Heading that way too. Gotta coach an early game tomorrow.

Totally agree. For now, it has to be Derek because we have nobody better. I was referring to who would go to the bullpen if/when Griffin returned healthy. Romeo said it won't be Holland, but he is far and away the Rangers' worst starter.

I don't know what the team or anyone else sees in him for that matter. Is he still living off of his big time prospect potential label he once had? Is it that he flashes dominance every so often? He's been in the league long enough that what you see is what you're going to get- a career 4.30 ERA/1.32 WHIP guy with a declining K/9 and velocity. Mix in the goofball persona and multiple trips to the DL, and I really don't see what makes him valuable.

might as well add to the giant bag of suck for the night and bring willie in

I fully expected him to build of his strong finish to 2014...he didn't and it's troubling. He is gonna be a BORP now and that's disappointing.

Thanks. Kiddos doing great.

his WS start, where he was so good in 2011. Wait that was almost 5 years ago? He had lots of upside and it hasn't materialized

as long as there is progress and they are having fun playing the game, thats the important thing

It is possible Darvish hits a short term DL. If that is the case then AJ gets back in time.

Roogie needs a bigger chain
