I can't figure this team out this year. So hit and miss....(pun I know). Offense is so stale, very few big games. It can't be just losing Hamilton, can it? I know Young left, was he the glue?

Don't think it has anything to do with Young. They did this all last year with him in the lineup. I honestly think wash has just lost the clubhouse. And who can blame them?

It's certainly not Hamilton. He didn't really do much after May of last year.

We really didn't get much to replace them. That's on JD, if you ask me.

They really didn't contribute much last year. JD can only work with what he's got on the market anyways. At some point the young studs you've been grooming have to step up.

Not Young either. Just bad basic fundamentals, injuries and etc.

So do you guys believe the majority of blame is on Wash?

If TEX front line can only generate 1 run a game ... I want to see E. Beltre in the lineup every day over seeing a .222 hitter batting second. I want Martin #2 and Elvis #8 in front of Beltre. Would rather see Soto DHing than Berkman ... even against a RHP.

It worked so far, but I'm trying to figure out why Wash just pulled Perez. Our bullpen has been overworked.

Ultimately it's on the players for not executing the fundamentals of the game, but I do believe wash has lost that clubhouse. So if can't manage a game, and he's lost the clubhouse, why exactly do we still have him?

Missed the last inning. Saw an error led to their run. Was it a tough play?

Exactly, but these are moves wash will not make. He does not understand how to make adjustments and instead relies on a track record. The players have to execute, but the manager has to out them in the best position to succeed and wash does not do that.

He use to say he was going with his instincts when playing someone. But that went out the window a long time ago.

Should be an interesting trade deadline this year, if this play keeps up. At least we have Houston in town next...

Yeah, we'll his instincts haven't served him or this team well. I'm ready to see him go. His saving grace was supposed to be that he got the most out of his players. I'm sure not seeing it.

Not many rangers deserve to be all stars the way I see it.
