Texas Rangers vs. LA Angels 8/5-8/7

He did not just walk shuck
The Ump in Arizona was so much cooler

 

[Nathan Ahle/Triple 7]

I think a couple years is too long as well, I've seen him getting better about his pitch sequences lately, so I don't know what he was thinking tonight, especially against Trout, if Kalhoun can do it what makes you think Trout can't do it, then he did it again against Trumbo, he's just lucky he missed it

As far as CY this year, he has a shot for sure, but a CY winner is not always an ace, just a good pitcher that had a good year sometimes

Just saying- Any given player can knock it out if the pitcher coughs up an easy one

It's not unforgivable. If it happened every start then that would be one thing, but Yu hasn't given up multiple homers since his last start in the Bronx

Sorry but if you're truly an ace, that's unforgivable

HRs have been his bugaboo this year, no arguing that

And that Bronx start was only 7 starts ago, and he gave up multiple in the game before as well

What going on with Yu tonight.

 

[dammittman]

looked like another cookie to greene

Darvish's hasn't quite been able to make the strikeout pitch. You can tell that's what he's going for with 2 strikes but it's just not there.

 

[BLeslie59Rangers]

C'mon Yu, focus man...this is a scrub lineup, shouldn't be this big a challenge!!

 

[jta4437]

Need a double play here Yu

 

[Nathan Ahle/Triple 7]

Verlander's numbers do Nat say ace this year in general. Will he rebound with another epic year? Maybe, but its also possible this may be the start of his decline similar to what we've seen out of Sabathia the last two years.

I wasn't suggesting that Verlander was slipping from being a true ace, but Earlier in the year he had some trouble in command with his fastball (BTW he has fixed that and is back to pitching like he normally does). I was just making the point that even the best do stupid things

What going on with Yu tonight.

He's not getting the same calls he did vs Zona...

 

[romeo212000]

Whoever keeps spraying PAM in Aj's glove needs to quit.

 

[Nathan Ahle/Triple 7]

Honestly if Yu gets it together like he usually does and our offense does its job, we'll be thinking "quality inning other than a rough start."
2 ER is never unforgivable. Now if he continues to make dumb pitches, that's a different story.

Agreed. He should settle down during the third

 

[dammittman]

hope its a better trip the second time through the order.

 

[jta4437]

You cannot let it get to Trout here, this is a guy he should dominate

 

[Nathan Ahle/Triple 7]

He's not getting the same calls he did vs Zona...

And he threw up some easy pitches. Nothing we can't deal with though. We should be able to tack on another 3 runs.

 

[romeo212000]

He's not getting the same calls he did vs Zona...

Yu's gonna have to cut down on the walks to consistently get the ace zone.

 

[jta4437]

Well done Yu

 

[dammittman]

thanks Murphy, that looked like a fielding debacle in the making.

The same with Weaver

 

[RevSader]

I call garbage on that. He paints the black...the dude has 4 games this year with 14Ks and no walks. Do your damn job behind the plate and call it the same regardless of who is pitching.
