Odor got his pitch and just got under it a tad....'Missed it by that much chief.'

 

[donaldson79]

Haha! I can relate.

It was, still is, strange to me that I thought Lewin did a great job in every other endeavor he did with the Rangers, except the day-to-day telecast.....His off field interviews/observations were a delight to listen too.....But the everyday game stuff wore me out. IDK why.

I'll take solid contact outs over whiffs any day.

Generous zone given tonight

 

[donaldson79]

New announcers for the new ballpark?

Well.....You know Tom will be nothing more than a Ranger dinasour drug up for a few games here and there. I'm good with that quite honestly......But these two numbnuts, we may be stuck with.......And I had such high hopes for CJ at the beginning...........Dave.....Dave is one of the worst of all time in history, and not with just the Rangers......He'd be fine in Frisco, but Arlington ain't AA Dave.....Hey, there's a name for ya.....AA Dave....???....Let's start a 'Go Fund Me' page for AA Dave.

And I say again, it's time for the computers to do the ball/strike calling and get away from all this 'tonight HE seems to have a generous zone nonsense.'

 

[Kelleyman]

No doubter

These fox tracs cut umps no slack but they sure get the free ride otherwise

Well, shit.

Ump frustrating Gallo then Robbie.

Aren't they sanctioned by MLB? I'm thinking they're part of the process.

Admittedly, I wasn't paying the closest of attention.......However, these -right near THE Mendoza Line guys - named Gallo/Robbie - are pretty darn easy to frustrate most of us......I think anyway.............

Ok by MLB but sure it’s a pain for umps.

Starting to wonder if this is the swan song.

 

[WastinSomeTime]

I feel bad for Beltre but we know this could happen. Just gives Profar and IKF more opportunities.

Starting to wonder if this is the swan song.

Yeah, when this keeps happening its not just going to rectify itself with rest. At his age and his physical makeup it will be hard to avoid.

Hate to pile on here, but this is precisely why nobody showed any serious interest in Beltre.

I’m disappointed we didn’t move more pitching tho. The Yankees should have come calling for a reliever or something at least. Their pitching wasn’t impressive in New York when we faced them. We also did a number on their staff when they came to Texas. I’m skeptical that they can hang with the Red Sox over a 7 game series.


Pulling for Boston to at least go to the World Series this year.

The only reliever left that anyone would have really wanted would be Leclerc and I don't want him going anywhere. The only starter is Minor but no point in just giving him away. We need some pitching. I don't think we want to see the Senators of old playing. I think we moved the pitchers that gave us something back.

In regards to the Hamels posts earlier. From the article below.
Are the Cubs' pitching minds that much smarter than the Rangers'? Did the Cubs see something the Rangers missed? Have the Cubs made massive changes with Hamels?

The answer to each question is NO.
