We’ve gotta be the worst team ever at runner on 3rd and less than 2 outs.

It’s like the guys press trying to get the run in and always fail. The problem might be the hitting coach or our strategy / approach at the plate.

We have choked a lot tonight.

Definitely should’ve won this game I’m thinking, but the Red Sox will probably pull it out.

These are the kind of games that bad teams like the rangers let get away.

Had a chance to win with. Leads of 4-1 and 5-3. Just couldn't hold them.

Disappointing

Really think we should’ve won that game.

Frustrating loss.

Tough loss tonight for the young guys. Profar battled but Gallo a bit prone to the strikeout. Bad read on the triple

A night where we definitely missed Beltre and Elvis. Maz would not have been walked if they were in the lineup.

The worst with the bases loaded.

Chirinos should not have called for a 2 strike breaking pitch to a LH hitter. Just keep pounding fastballs.

Might be but they sure are showcasing him at SS and IKF at second and 3B. If they did trade him maybe we get pitching.

Just think deciding factor is what Elvis does but from an insurance at point you may be right. Just hoping Odor can make some recovery
Why "showcasing" instead of simply using him at SS?

Perhaps a poor choice of words but well known that Profar most value is at SS. If Elvis opts and not extended then of course he plays SS and is a fit for the tight knit old Hickory crew.

You would agree that Rangers will be in sell mode by the break. LAD needs a SS. I like Profar but don't think it realistic for him Elvis and Odor to coexist especially since IKF looks like our super utility guy of the future.

They definitely should be in sell mode, but I don't think they are playing anyone at a certain position on the big league club to enhance their trade value. Now if Elvis were healthy and they had Profar at SS then that might be the reason. I just don't see any positional decision being made with the trade season in mind. Choo might be playing every game in the OF if that kind of thing motivated them.

Where what would they play him right now??

IKF is regressing some, to me, probably to the mean and Profar is looking better, but his struggles with throws at SS are worrisome long term, I see him more as a 3b or 2b at this point

IKF's fall back probably comes as no surprise to anyone. And I agree with you on the throwing problem with Profar. His trade value, at least as a SS can't be very high right now. But he looked good at 2nd.

Well that’s a fine “how do ya do”. Geez, no pressure or anything.

But think of all the glory, all of which you can claim as yours, if we do win.
