The LA Angels at Your Texas Rangers 9/26 - 9/29

I'd be willing to be Cruz wouldn't sign to be our primary dh.

With Cruz, McCann and Napoli, there's no need for a primary DH, they can all time share there, with Gentry Soto and Moreland getting some play in the OF, at C and 1B

C- McCann, Soto
1B- Napoli, Moreland
2B- Kinsler
3B- Beltre
SS- Andrus
OF- Cruz, Martin, Rios, Gentry

IFer that can play SS, not Profar, and a Jeff Baker type, maybe even Jeff Baker himself

Emily with the shot at CJ lol

That is a legitimate concern. So much to consider and sort out. Good luck JD.

Who will be the long man today, as looking at LAA stats against Holland doesn't look like he has figured how to pitch them

I hope Wash pulls a Joe Maddon if Holland doesn't have it. Use every relief pitcher you have but non for more than one inning. I love when Maddon does that because it forces the opposing manager to go through his bench more quickly and also keeps the opposing hitters off balance.

The real hope of course is that the offense will spot Holland some early runs and he can settle in and throw a good game. Unfortunately the stats don't support that hope. Short short leash today Wash.

Yep, really concerned about Holland today. Angel hitters have figured him out. Probably the toughest W of the series today. Hope he has great command and his off-speed stuff is working.

Can't watch right now. What did she say? Maybe that CJ now has the whole offseason to rub up his balls. Even though he's had a respectable year, I am so glad that dude is making his lame excuses somewhere else.

I'm concerned about Holland every game. He has got everything it takes and has shown it multiple times but lately he seems to be lacking something. Hope he's got it today. wishing him the best.

Nathan sent a text to Gardenhire telling him to rally the troops in Minny. Frasor sent texts to Jays players encouraging them. Hopefully they help their old friends out a bit.

How did you know??? I just hope they play hard and try to win... Haven't seen that from minny

Time to get the bullpen up!!

 

[ESPN Refugee]

Both teams wearing red jerseys is odd and ridiculous.

 

[DT LUNA]

Great start Derek. Bare down.

 

[Tacobenboy]

Would it be wrong to have someone up in the pen to start the game?

 

[Frisco123]

Is anyone really concerned about being down 1-0 early, doubt we will get shutout today

Not concerned that we won't score, but terribly concerned that it took all if 7 pitches for Holland to give up a run to a team that owns him.

 

[Nightcrawler]

Too early for that bunting shit.... It's only the first inning

 

[DT LUNA]

Worked out ok. Just cost an out that we could use now with two on. lol

 

[Frisco123]

Excellent start, keep that pitch count going up, so they will have to go to the pen early

Beating a dead horse but man AJ swings at everything.
