Seattle Mariners vs. Texas Rangers 8/16-8/18

[ESPN Refugee]

Listening to a Ranger post game show and their giving it to Wash for carrying on with this Murphy crap and not starting Gentry. They also critized Wash for not ph Baker for AJ with the bases loaded.

Diamond Talk or ESPN?

I think Cotts, Murphy, Kinsler, and AJ can all share some of the blame for this loss...

and the rest of the line-up that didn't get any hits, I'm not disagreeing with what you said
I'm worried about the bigger picture, that's all

Yeh I know, but it was too big a risk that early in the game

With 2 outs? He almost got away with it catching them napping. Didn't see it live ... but looked like Elvis might have gotten his hand in. What did it look like on TV replays?

 

[BLeslie59Rangers]

There were two outs. Play was in front of him. It was the first inning. I don't have anything against him trying. That's aggressive baseball they need to play when they are having a difficult time scoring conventionally.

But he ran thru the coach's stop sign...he's apparently not trusting his coach? ............he may have a point there...

Rangers Derek Holland first Texas starter with at least three starts of 7+ innings and 2 or fewer hits since Nolan Ryan in 1991.

I agree, one thing we do have is speed and we have to use it

I'll pull up the replay if they have it highlighted

On TXA21? Problem is on Direct TV they drop the broadcast right after the game and we normally don't get the postgame at all. Who was it who was criticizing Wash?

If Yu had one more start vs Houston, I think he matches it.

Did Nolan get decisions in those games?

Awesome... I listen to Mike Peasley sometimes too

But we knew going in that runs would be tough to come by tonight with Iwakuma on the mound.....but I hear what you're saying, this has been a season long issue....

Sean Bass and Ty Walker on Diamond talk. I think their at the point where we all have to expect this from Wash on a regular basis

 

[lainey12]

I think profane can have 20 homer power if he doesn't stay to thin and bulks up. 165 is so light

he'll gain more muscle weight, they always do at that young age...most of them that are thin anyway

agree and now we've lost a big RBI guy.

that walk to Beltre hit home tonight

 

[BLeslie59Rangers]

I'm out tonight, thanks for allowing me to vent. I'm going to bed grumpy over my team this evening...better luck against King Felix tomorrow...
