Series Thread: The SS Mazara moves out to SEA - 4/11-4/13

[BULLPEN FAILURE]

Holy shit... Desmond's OPS is .298. That's unbelievably bad.

 

[Bmurph]

hope we see a shit ton of that from Derek all year

If the offense can figure out a way to score 4-5 a night, our SP will be just fine. BP will be fine as well and the Rangers will win lots of games

Winning 2 in a row vs the Mariners is always fun. Hate those fuckers.

Im disappointed in his offense so far but I am pleased with what he brings defensively, so I see him as an asset more than a deficiency at this point, even if he hasnt hit much

 

[RevSader]

Wonder if that was dynamic enough for @jaar01 the past two nights.

That's true, but being slotted in the 5 or 6 spot in the lineup is going to have to be reevaluated if he doesn't start hitting.

Skipper can swap him w Rua or the hottest bat and nobody hurt IMO

based on his negativity, its highly questionable

Get Cruz, Cano and Seager out and it should be a successful series, more often than not

above .500.......next stop World Series

Great game all around tonight! I think it's no coincidence that the lineup was churning with a lot of the younger players in there and the absence of one black hole who usually plays 1st base and shall not be mentioned by name.

I think the line up card will displease some people tomorrow. Just a hunch.

Black hole? Ease up on the hyperbole, Desmond was out there last night

Mitch at least has hits in his last 6 games, and been on base in every game, just needs to quit striking out so much

DDJ and Mazara saw 51 pitches between them last night.

That all by itself will wear on a pitcher (s).

That's impressive.

You mean you, don't ya?

I'm all for Rua getting more ab. But I'm not discarding your favorite player either.

 

[donaldson79]

That's impressive.

The rest of the team saw 101.

Desmond could stand to be moved down, and Mitch could stand to be non existent until Rua cools down.

I agree on Desmond for sure. In fact, it might help him as well as us to do so.

This from jta.........."Mitch at least has hits in his last 6 games, and been on base in every game, just needs to quit striking out so much."

But you know me, I've been high on Rua for a long time, and want to see him get as many ab as possible. Him getting some swings while manning LF would work too.

50% K rate is pretty awful. Either way Mitch or Desmond do not need to be hitting 5th right now. Elvis might as well do that until he cools down.

You can delete the word pretty from your first sentence. ha ha

Hadn't thought about EA moving down, but that's a good thought.

Regarding last night, it is really impressive to look at the box score and see Cano/Cruz/Seager going 0-11.
