Series Thread: Surging Rangers hosting the Chicago White Sox

I would pitch a damn fit if Rosales was playing instead of Gallo. I just hope his first start isn't against Sale.

We are idiots if Rosales is not hitting against Sale. Rosales has his number.

It's silly, but yeah Rosey should hit Sale.

 

[Windingmywatch]

Wonder if we see a lot of Chirinos batting #4?

They could have Rosales at 1B or 2B against Sale though.

1B maybe but I would not take out another RH bat at 2B. But that is just me. I just feel this would be a tough task for Gallo.

Not looking for Rosie to make much difference in the game. Will take a little more than him.

Well, I don't agree with it, but I'll be hoping for the best.

 

[romeo212000]

I'll say this. Play him tomorrow against Samardzjia, then sit him Tuesday against Sale. No reason to throw him to the wolves.

Trying to figure out how the lineup is going to look. I think they have to hit a decent hitter behind him. Problem is, all of our decent hitters are left handed.

Choo
DDJ
Fielder
Hamilton
Gallo
Moreland
Andrus
Chirinos
Rosie

I don't like having 4 left handers back to back, and I don't like Gallo hitting fifth, but it's the only way to get a dangerous hitter behind Gallo IMO. What do you guys think.

7 8 &9 has to stay where they're at thus leaving little help

We're gonna need to relie on the pitching to step up this series. The white sox don't score a lot of runs.

Their aces don't give up many either.

This team is going to struggle against LHP more than they already do, I believe.

Agree. We have very little in the way of RH options.

Something to look forward to is that Mazara and Williams both hit left handed as well.

Last year he hit 2 HRs off of him and drove in all 3 runs in a 3-1 victory. Lifetime against Sales he is hitting .545.

I doubt that means much this year.

I think this is why Rua has such staying power right now. He is versatile and hits RH. Just hope when he returns he is able to do some damage.

 

[WastinSomeTime]

Did you say that last year. We can say that about any stats for any player. It is always what have you done for me lately. But you have to play the percentages.

 

[romeo212000]

I doubt that means much this year.

Rosales has Sale's number. Just like Seager has ours. He should play.
