Series Thread: Rangers vs. Astros 5/12-5/14

That was as piss poor of a half inning of "supposed" offense I've seen in a long time; especially from us.

It really is time to fire Magadan. I thought he should've been fired last year.

I would hope some seat would be getting warm through all of this.

My Lord.....these two teams have combined for 8 SO in 2 innings. The very definition of inept.

And Mike Olt just hit his 8th for the Cubs.

What's the record for combined K's in a game? It may get challenged this evening...

 

[Justinkm83]

Start us off youngster.

Watched Olts HR on ESPN. Cubs handing it to the Cards and their Lubbock bred pitcher Lyons.

This is unbelievable. He's basically throwing 2 GD pitches. Hit the first fastball you see. It's flat.

 

[Frisco123]

Is someone telling them not to swing,

 

[darrylgann]

Was that so hard now

 

[donaldson79]

Gotta give Grieve some credit here. He's all over the fact we want to work Peacock, but acknowledge he's wearing out the zone with hittable fast balls. And we're standing around.

He gets so many wrong guys. Just trying not to hang him every inning is all.

 

[Frisco123]

Amazing what happens when u swing the bat

The Astros bullpen sucks, but their rotation has been better than ours. Sad huh? I'm assuming we were told to try to get his pitch count up.

 

[Justinkm83]

That was only the 7th HR out of 24 with someone on base. Good job AB! We've got to hit the mistakes. He's thrown a lot of them.

 

[BLeslie59Rangers]

Wow, now Jose Fernandez out for the season needing arm surgery...don't know if it's Tommy John...wow, this is unreal so many pitchers going down...

His SO/W ratio was damn near 1-1 going into tonight. So, it does make sense to see if he was going to throw strikes. But to stand and watch 91 mph fast balls get called for strike 2/3 is inane.

Board attendance seems to be in decline. I wonder why.

Well if they were smart and it looks like they were, they would know that we would be taking a lot of pitches.

Another inconsistent ump.
