Rangers vs O's

[romeo212000]

A's beating the Pirates 2-1 in the Bottom of the 8th Inning. Can't believe it. Bucs had been so hot. Oakland just won't lose.

They're probably thinking the same thing about us.

Over. A's win.

Over. A's win.

All we've heard is how good the NL Central is. All I see is the rangers and A's curb stomping the "best division in baseball."

^this. TEX has 3 vs PIT and 2 vs MIL to play ... all @ RBIA. NLC certainly has had troubles with the ALW.

Can you believe that Murphy is actually not in the lineup tonight?

Kind of odd since Chen is is a righty, but lets see ahat Profar does

 

[romeo212000]

Profar in LF?

Chen is a LHP, thats why its odd, Profar hits a lot better against RHPs

About time. In his case, lefty vs. righty doesn't matter since he is not hitting much either way.

 

[jta4437]

Profar in LF?

I Kinsler 2B
J Profar LF
N Cruz RF
A Beltre 3B
A Pierzynski DH
E Andrus SS
M Moreland 1B
G Soto C
E Beltre CF

Change of heart from wash or an attempt to show Profar isn't an upgrade over Murphy by making him bat from his weaker side?

Luckily for Profar, he doesnt have to do much to disprove this

 

[jta4437]

This is one of the better lineups Wash has made in a while

Most everyone is right where they belong

Only argument to be made is for Martin over Soto (Martin in RF, Cruz DHing, and AJ catching), but other than that, not bad

And maybe swapping Soto and Andrus, but that's splitting hairs

Probably want to give AJ the night off (catching) b/c of smacking his finger/hand on the throw last night... my theory anyways.

No I don't have a problem with it, I was just saying that's the only place I see for argument,

its probably the same reason why martin is out tonight as well
