The future is now, old man: CWS @ TEX 8/4-7

[DT LUNA]

Get Howard out. Every pitch is high in the zone.

 

[Bmurph]

But the announcers cover for it. Just kills their objectivity. Why should we give any credence to their opinions?

This is the homerism that drives me nuts

Then a fielding error

Anyone that doesn't think these Rangers announcers suck is not listening to them

 

[armadillooutlaw]

Who - besides Hearn - could realistically replace Howard in the rotation?

 

[Kelleyman]

Bubba saved a run for now due to cutting the ball off in the gap

Notice I said for now. Thinking cap

Wheels coming off

 

[DTC]

To me this is a reflection on a lot of the other players

For a first baseman he is not that good.
Dead last in 1B defense over the last 2 years and like 19th in hitting. So basically he’s in the bottom 25% of first basemen.
He’s very serviceable and has a decent average but has shown he’s likely not going to progress to be much better

Burke if they would stretch him out

Howard is just not a MLB pitcher. Don’t think they will send down though. Rangers don’t want to admit they made a mistake by acquiring him.

Not sure his name but the announcer that always yells "GOOOOONE!!!!!" when Texas hits a HR is obnoxious and should be replaced.

That’s a good question.

Absolutely

They did send him down though.
I think you let him play this year but his future is definitely uncertain

 

[DTC]

My parents offered to watch the kids so we could go to the game today.
Knowing Howard was pitching I politely declined

Not sure why anyone was giving credence to begin with

Good Ol Spencer Howard
Dude seriously needs to Move to the pen

come on the smart decision is to DFA the clown and bring up Winn

I guess. They are out of the hunt so another development year but Howard doesn't really flash much and seems extremely weak mentally.

I don't get that... running him out there to embarrass himself does more to "admit that"

[armadillooutlaw]

That's a pretty easy solution.
Jung at 1B and Lowe at DH until there is a better bat to replace Lowe.

Winn isn’t ready yet I don’t believe

has anyone ever hear announcers that didn't cover for their team?
