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

[Nightcrawler]

Circumstances were a bit different, Im not worried about Oakland. Shit happens and it will even out

At least Tolley won't be closing games. That's already a huge difference from last time we were there.

 

[Bmurph]

Heh...he is somehow beating his peripherals and has a a great BABIP.

I won't jinx him w any comments

He just keeps doing what he does. I think the best thing going for him is that we don't have a lot of expectations.

I checked in a couple of times to see the score. Surprised to see this pitching duel. Colby and Wilson must have really been in sync. Great job by Colby.

he was expected to be the #4 or #5 SP in the rotation and he's outperformed that so far, so its been good to date

 

[WastinSomeTime]

I guess I will have to chill on Fielder for now. He has deserved our wrath but if he is able to snap out of this funk then good for him and us.

Lastly, you guys must have had your heart in your throats at the end there. I know I would have looking at the play by play.

It's only a good approach when it works...

 

[UK Cowboy]

Any good hitter is jumping a fastball in the zone they are looking at on the first pitch. If you watch your pitch go by, you won't see it again. Can't be scared...

Does Colby get better the older he gets? Man when he is 40 he's gonna be GREAT!

Reminds me of the way Kenny Rogers improved with age

 

[donaldson79]

He's fine. You guys wear out the broadcast team for reasons I cannot understand.

Rhad is OK, Emily/Dana are passable. But Busby and Raymond are Gawd awful.

I honestly don't mind TAG as much as some and feel if he had a decent play-by-play man he's be a lot better. But Mac is such a cheerleader he negates most of what he says, even when he right or making a good observation, b/c he waves the pom-poms so much.

Don't know what that was since I am not watching the games. But I did read that Odor lost on what would have been an RBI when his ball hit Mazara's heel.

Roogie is what he is. Gotta take the good with the bad, and I still love him.

Screw Nolan for getting rid of Lewin.

Screw Nolan for getting rid of Lewin.

At the time, I wasn't the biggest fan Lewin had. But looking back, Josh seems like Eric Nadel now compared to Busby.

Wish I had appreciated him more when I had the chance.

I sincerely hope Prince gets going. I also hope that if he does, Banister has the sense to leave well enough alone if the lineup is clicking and doesn't try to force him back into the third or cleanup spot.
