Series Thread: The annual Silver Boot series kicks off tonight - Rangers in Houston May 1-4

Weak contact vs hard hit balls, I would have just preferred to see someone that had more of a opportunity to miss bats

Should have started the inning...

I will agree with that, in a one run game you cant continue to play w fire w a guy that continues to walk leadoff hitters. I don't care what his pitch count was at

 

[Bmurph]

Stupid challenge, he is clearly safe

 

[Duane1952]

He was safe.

3 errors a bad bullpen and a manager that has deficiencies with decisions, makes it tough to win ballgames

And with an offense is not very good.

I have only seen the game since the 6th inning and it appears McCullers throw the ball well, but 10 more strikeouts in 7 innings is not good

 

[Bmurph]

10 times in 17 games with 2 or fewer runs will not get it done

12 strikeouts and guys that cant hit for avg. HR or nada

Kinda takes some off the hook.

To many strikeouts and walk to many batters.

recipe for a bad taste in your mouth

Not many pitchers will win like that.^^^^^^^^

Nope, aside from all the walks, the SP has performed well enough to win considerably more games so far

 

[Bmurph]

Will all three guys in the ninth come in trying to hit a 4 run HR?

 

[Bmurph]

Giles is such a douchenozzle

 

[Duane1952]

26 games in and the Rangers have struck out 189 times.

 

[Bmurph]

Mark continues to make excuses

Sure feels like more

 

[Kelleyman]

Can't excuse team defense or walks but the decision to not bring in a guy with better swing and miss chances is something I disagree with. Brought that up on social media well..... My questioning did not go over well.

You have to play fundamentally good baseball without always pressing and trust your stuff.

Not seeing this type of baseball from this team.

Am I reading this wrong?

I was looking for a guy that could put up some K's with a guy there on 3rd base. LeClerc, Kela......problem was Banister didnt have that type of guy up in the pen and couldn't have gotten anyone ready in time probably. This is why someone that wasnt prone to the walk should have started the 7th in a one run game
