The Peagle takes flight! Rangers debut City Connect unis at the Grill: OAK @ TEX 4/21-3

[Duane1952]

And the Rangers are now behind. No offense after the first.

 

[Bmurph]

Except for Heim"s 3 run HR the offense has been gross

 

[Senator_fan]

Didn’t expect that.

 

[DT LUNA]

Would have bunted Smith with Jank on deck.

Nite Fellas

I just dont really like the call to PH Smith there.....has no power and has been terrible with the bat basically all season

 

[True Rangers Fan]

How do we always lose to the A's

I thought me might be pinch running. Yeah I wanted Zeke to hit

Don’t adjust our pitching style to a team who would rather walk then swing the bat. The nibble at the edge of the zone shit won’t work on them. they drew 7 walks Tonight. They always walk a lot of times against us. Doesn’t matter what pitching staff or what year it is. The walkland A’s are going to walk if you don’t pound the zone. its like losing by way of Chinese water torture and it’s very frustrating to watch.

doesn’t seem to matter who our manager or pitching coach is either. I hate playing walkland more than any other team.

 

[Nightcrawler]

This loss is looking bad. Astros beat Braves in Atlanta and angels are close to shutting out royals. Can’t afford to lose to a 3-17 team.

 

[Senator_fan]

I figured the A’s would win 1 of these since they had lost 7 in a row. If they win again in this series then it won’t look to good.

I noticed that Chris Seise has his OPS up to 1.030. Glad to see the young man doing well after everything he has gone through.

Not pulling Gray sooner cost us. He simply had nothing and after the first inning the offense vanished. Simple as that.

We may not have had much of a choice depending on the DeGrom situation.

 

[WastinSomeTime]

I know the game last night was irritating and it ticked me off as well but it happens. Just waiting to see how we respond and trying to be patient. It's a long season.

 

[saddles]

The loss last night could very well be the first win column casualty from the decision to keep your starting pitching depth in your bullpen.

If Dunning does start in place of deGrom and can only go 4 or 5 innings max, then that could lead to another win column casualty.

It all goes back to not signing enough relief pitchers in the offseason. It is all interrelated.

That was my biggest disappointment during the offseason as you probably already know.
