Rangers vs. A's - Battle for the West

Come on Elvis. Now would be a great time for a slump buster.

 

[WilltheThrill]

Man that hurts. Another wasted opportunity. We've got to get better.

 

[romeo212000]

Elvis needs a day off. He just looks awful lately.

Yeah, he's usually one of their best in terms of pitch recognition and making contact. Lately though he's been getting fooled a lot and questioning the umps on pitches that were strikes.

 

[WilltheThrill]

Another 0-2 HR given up by Holland. Unacceptable. Our team is just really struggling lately in almost every facet of the game.

 

[romeo212000]

Seriously holland?

He gives up too many Home runs and now he is pitching like crap in a key game

 

[WilltheThrill]

We're gonna see Roy Oswalt tonight.

 

[WilltheThrill]

He might not even make it out of this inning. He is all over the place.

 

[romeo212000]

I've been cutting holland plenty of slack due to his stomach issue and the weight loss. Then he seemed to get it back. But this is pathetic.

 

[romeo212000]

76 pitches and he's not even through 3 yet.

He was due for a stinker, and here it is

 

[WilltheThrill]

And just when we think we can trust Derek Holland in a big game...

Story of his career so far.

 

[fanman8825]

76 pitches and he's not even through 3 yet.

Will be Lucky if he can get thru 5. We need to start chipping away at this lead. No help from the Twins tonite as the Yanks are up 4-0

Wrong game for a stinker.

 

[WilltheThrill]

Another classic Josh at-bat with the flailing strikeout on the pitch in the dirt.

 

[jta4437]

Wrong game for a stinker.

Well they're all the wrong game from here on out

 

[WilltheThrill]

I sure hope they decide to play here in the last 6 innings because what I've seen so far from them in the first 3 innings is NOT what I waited all day to see. Just a continuation of the Seattle series. We just flat-out can't hit.

 

[romeo212000]

Well they're all the wrong game from here on out

True.

 

[fanman8825]

Problem is trying to hold on to HFA. The Yankees last 9 games not including tonite is against the Twins, Blue-Jays and Redsox. They could run the damn table
