Series Thread: The Oakland A's at Your Texas Rangers 4/28 - 4/30

[jaar01]

If you're not embarrassed by the Little League team we've got right now I don't know what else to say. Wash should be humiliated, as well as the rest of the team.

 

[Nightcrawler]

Best way to look at it is the team has a day off tomorrow.

 

[jaar01]

7 errors in one month of play from your multi-million dollar short stop. Do you even have any idea how bad that is? As in historically bad?

 

[darrylgann]

If Wash doesn't chew on their asses after this...

Do tell. How bad is it? Cuz I'm pretty sure other multi multi million dollar players, that are even paid more then EA, have done worse.

And yes... I do want you to tell me how "historically bad" it is." 7 errors in one month is actually more common then you think. So I'd love to hear your stats on this.

A week ago we were all singing the praises of our hard working over achievers. We are not this bad....but we are also not as good as the team we were seeing last week. At this point we are a.500 level team until we can get healthy again...

But given Elvis' performance so far this year, he's not that far off with his observation. Andrus has been sub par on all fronts...and I'm an Elvis fan.

This guy never has anything good to say about rangers. Never shows up when the rangers play well.

 

[terpsfball09]

Not only that, but I'm sure he doesnt have any stats to show how bad this truly is for a short stop. As in historically bad. I sorta found that laughable. Its one month, and he's a short stop.

He probably doesn't have any as usual. Just trolling again.

Yeh I know, but I do share his opinion of Elvis' performance.....

 

[jaar01]

Andrus is on pace for 42 errors this season. Let that sink in.

Amazing how well we were playing without Beltre and Harrison. We get them back and this happens. I'm not sure how much better we'd be with Soto and Profar back.

 

[BLeslie59Rangers]

Reading the A's bloggers...god, they're having a field day with all this...humiliating...

okay, but where does him making 7 errors in one month rank historically. You said it, now back it up.

As they should.

Not much better, I'm afraid. Don't see them as offensive juggernauts...

Mavs lost. Another wonderful Metroplex night!

To be expected I would have thought.

 

[WilltheThrill]

Mavs lost. Another wonderful Metroplex night!

Seriously. The losing has been spreading like the plague around the Metroplex lately. 4 awful losses in a row for the Rangers, consecutive losses for the Stars including the heartbreaker to eliminate them from the playoffs, and now 2 awful losses in a row for the Mavs. I've watched 8 losses in a row. It's getting just a little old now.

Since 2000, only 3 mlb shortstops have had 30 or more errors in a season. And no one has had more than 34. Like I said, Andrus on pace for 42. Point being: He is having his worst season defensively, by far, and one of the worst ever for a short stop in the last 20 years.

He is an overpaid prima donna player. Cruz was another. Dumped him. Elvis should be next.
