Whatever you do wash, don't take him out of the lineup.

 

[Bmurph]

That's ridiculous Derek

 

[romeo212000]

At least we're driving his pitch count up and smoked their pen last night.

 

[RevSader]

fucking stupid pitching from Derek to this guy tonight. He cannot hit and you throw him batting practice fastballs.

 

[ESPN Refugee]

No reason at all to be 3-0 on a .209 or so hitter.

 

[Hambombs]

I completely forgot Chris carter was part of the oakland magic

 

[Jbear]

Just need Peacock gone and Rangers got this game. He has a nasty collection of pitches. No wonder his ERA is damn high with that knuckle shit he is throwing. A pitcher with a fastball as fast as his shouldn't be messing around with knuckleballs.

 

[romeo212000]

Jesus Christ Derek. It's a fucking AAA team.

 

[BLeslie59Rangers]

Ya that is why I am not really down on him as I am of the situation. Murphy on the other hand...

No, Profar needs to get some wood on the ball. I know he's 20, but he's experienced enough to handle himself better than this...

 

[Hambombs]

RIP sub 3 ERa

 

[RevSader]

He shouldn't even be playing right now, at least not as a DH.

I'm always a bit nervous with Derek.

You're knee jerking a bit. Settle down.

 

[WastinSomeTime]

This game has those negative flashbacks.

I don't disagree but it happens especially to a super young hitter in a big situation like it. It's part of the growing pains IMO.

 

[RevSader]

I don't like this having to rely on a shitty bull pen to let you back into games stuff. That won't be the case when we stop playing Houston and Anaheim...Not every team has a shitty bullpen. You have to get runs off the starters.

 

[BLeslie59Rangers]

No, it's time for him to start stepping up...and he's not facing Verlander here...

 

[DT LUNA]

I'm always a bit nervous with Derek.

Until this offense gives him some support, I can't get on him very much. .He should be able to give up two runs and expect to win and we might

Absolutely. And right now they look like shit. Awful at bats from Andrus, Profar, and Murphy to this point. Makes me furious that incompetent sack of dog crap is in the lineup against rhp no matter what.

No reason at all to be 3-0 on a .209 or so hitter.

If you do go 3-0 on him give up the base before you give him the meatball
