Rangers welcome Pricless Rays.

C: .659 (though the 2 main guys Chirinos & Gimenez are above .700, JPA killed it with a .415 in 60 ABs his first time up)
1B: .662 (Fielder .755... and then a collection of suck, Fielder still has the most ABs @ 1B w/ 159)
2B: .663 (Odor .675)
3B: .874 (Beltre .875)
SS: .673 (Andrus .671)
LF: .646 (Choo .751 in 223 ABs, everyone minus Smolinski has been worthless)
CF: .669 (Martin .662 in 365 ABs & "Slugger" Robertson .796 in 43 ABs)
RF: .734 (Rios .739)
DH: .727 (Choo .691 in 159 ABs, but most the other guys have been at least decent)

What's weird is that the offense is not good, but still not as bad as the pitching.

I will be around...but given that I'm an hour later, I may not as inclined to see an entire game through given there's no playoff ramifications ( I'm an early riser). But I'm a Ranger fan through thick and thin....had kind of hoped those "thin" years were behind us for awhile...oh well.

Good to have a Ranger fan in the great state of Georgia!

 

[WastinSomeTime]

Easy play Buzz. Good grief.

 

[WastinSomeTime]

Two hard hit balls right at the RF.

 

[WastinSomeTime]

Choo is sooo bad.

Not to mention the defense.

 

[darrylgann]

Choo is sooo bad.

Yeah, his glove closed too soon.

 

[darrylgann]

Not even DT, huh Wastin

 

[Justinkm83]

I'm in St Pete and their announcers are talking about the poor year Choo is having in the OF and that Wash has taken him out for special OF work but it doesn't seem to be working.

It was feeling rather lonely out here.

If he does not know how to play defense by now RW sure isn't going to be able to help him.

 

[darrylgann]

Ole Kenny Rogers! He knew when to fold em'. :rollseyes:

Which is weird bc he wasn't this bad with the Indians, he was actually average to above average

I'm one of the very very few here....I did run into a fellow Ranger fan here at a grocery store after the 2011 WS fiasco, it was like a long lost buddy was found..all the pent up frustration spilled out!! We ranted and raved for fifteen minutes about how we blew that Series...never seen the guy again.

I think the ankle has made him a worse OF this season. I know he will never be great, but I think he can play better if more healthy.

I'm here. Just dozed off a minute

The ankle can be some of the problems but I see bad routes and fundamentals.

Like I said, he will never be great out there. I think the ankle comes into play with his ability to get to certain balls vs others. The general lack of awareness thing is all on him.

He's been less terrible in RF, error tonight notwithstanding, I thought it was pretty apparent that the ankle hindered him in getting to that ball though

Well, we will wake you if something happens like a score. Looks like it may be a while though.
