Rangers vs. Indians this weekend

[BLeslie59Rangers]

We're getting into weird territory here. The offense being this bad is unexplainable. This is worse than the bad days of Seattle, Oakland, and TB offense. But it goes back to approach. If they're patient and dare the pitchers to throw strikes in the middle of the plate then eventually good things will happen.

If you remember the good teams from the 90's, the one offensive failing they had was impatience at the plate ( remember Gonzalez and Sierra flailing away at low outside pitches?). It just seemed to be an inherent Ranger problem. But our 2010 and 2011 teams showed good plate discipline. We worked counts and ran up pitch counts. In 2012 we digressed and 2013...well ...I guess I'm writing this because it is obvious that when this team practiced poor plate discipline, we under achieved...it's in our track record...

JD trade whoever you have too. Just make this team better for next year. 21 scoreless innings, unacceptable.

It's pathetic to see the Rangers slump through 3 series, 2 of them which have been sweeps. They can't hit. They aren't winning games. And Wash keeps thinking to himself, "they'll snap out of it. Hopefully next series. Just keep grinding".
Like hello lose column, but what you're doing isn't working. >.<

Yup that's gonna be a nice replacement for colon

I think we should keep Wash and get rid of every body else. Build on our strengths.

Doesn't seem like anybody is able to cure this awful offense. Change is needed in personnel big time.

Yep, if he's going to the A's, that's exactly the reason....

Doesn't matter. Can't hurt this team.

Apparently some kind of team meeting is going on. Won't help. Been there, done that.

 

[Hambombs]

Yeah I know it sounds unlikely that we come out of it but. Oakland was bottom 5 in almost every offensive category last year before getting hot. Not saying rangers will break out of it though.

Last time a meeting like this happened they won 10 of the next 13.

They responded pretty nicely after the last team meeting. At this point you have nothing to lose. Gotta try it and you never know.

Team meeting ?

 

[Specs.Toporcer]

Everyone is ready to fire Wash. Why does JD get off the hook? He failed to find a hitter (except a broken down DH and now a 41 year old PEDS addict) during the offseason. He put together this impotent bunch of losers. His magic is gone. Get rid of him too.

Hopefully Wash is telling them he is retiring.

Grant, Peasley, Durrett tweets. Not able to talk to Wash yet.

Coaches - "Hey guys, we can't beat anybody if we don't score any runs!" Team - " Wow, you know, you're right, we just now have realized this, what were we thinking?" Pitchers - " F U offense!" ....end of productive team meeting...
