Series Thread: Rangers Visit Tampa Bay June 28-30

[saddles]

Crouse went four shutout innings today, but he only struck out one batter. That isn't like him.

Tyler Phillips had a terrible outing for Frisco. That jump to AA is a tough one and is what makes Bahr's outing last night so impressive. Here is what Scott Lucas said about Bahr's outing.

"In a 2-2 game with a runner on 1B, Jason Bahr got a fly ball to complete his 7th inning on 98 pitches, except Leody Taveras lost it in the lights, and it went over his head for a run-scoring double. Reliever Walker Weickel then allowed back-to-back homers."

Kevin Cash scratched for arguing balls and strikes

LOL at the home plate ump, "I don't care what that says" talking about the FoxTrax balls and strikes

 

[jta4437]

Gallo just murdered a pitch

 

[donaldson79]

Gallo has honestly turned into a man among the men hasn't he?

 

[Duane1952]

Jesse getting hit hard so far.

Jesse getting hit hard so far.

I wouldn't say that just some well clustered and placed hits by Diaz and Kiermeier and Adames

 

[jta4437]

Now that ONE was hit hard off Chavez

 

[jta4437]

I'll still take what Chavez is giving us every 5th over what we were getting

What are the Rangers thinking. You claim Biddle, who has almost a 10 era and you immediately put him in the bullpen. They just got rid of a guy like this, in Smyly.

16 strikeouts so far with another half inning to play, I’m gonna say that is not good

 

[DT LUNA]

The Clerk needs to check out. What has happened to him? Was one of the best

Ump had a big strike zone today, 27 Ks today for both teams

He certainly has his stretches both good and bad, consistency is definitely a problem

Rays show why they are a playoff caliber team. Great pitching depth.

Will be interesting to see what shakes with Rangers dinged up

 

[Nightcrawler]

This series sucked.

The rays pitchers really seemed to benefit from the umpire in both of our losses. We got outplayed fair and square, but the umpires did us no favors.

Didn't see yesterday's game, but I didn't see anything not being called on both sides today, it was a big strike zone being called for both sides

 

[Duane1952]

30 strikeouts and 1 walk for both teams, tells a lot about the umpires strike zone today.

Congratulations Joey!!!
