Series Thread: There's no place like home: Rangers host A's 7/25-7/27

Bush gives up 4 and gets 1 out, fantastic

Can't get behind in the count and then throw fastballs to Coco and Davis.

I'm not trying to give Bush a pass. But, our pitching coach and catcher have to take some responsibility for not calling for something other than FB in those situations. Bush was suppose to be in AA this season learning the ropes after all.

Here's another player that should be at Round Rock.

Thought Maz got that one.

I am so sick of watching Mitch Moreland step out on the ball and miss a grooved strike.

 

[Bmurph]

Fuck the Oakland A's

 

[Duane1952]

We sure are bad against bad teams this month. August hurry up and get here.

Unfortunately, they sure seem to bone us a lot more than we bone them.

Pretty sorry loss. 100 mph don't mean jack. Ask Lowe

Radio said he shook Wilson off and went with the 4 seam

 

[Duane1952]

Rather see Bush come in and than Kela. Instead of the other way around.

Then the pitching coach needs to step in. That's BS that a guy who has never pitched in the ML is out there shaking off anything, other than rust.

Right now we are the bad team.

I agree Kela more seasoned. Higher leverage should go to him. Pitching is more important then lighting up a radar gun

We have to be the unluckiest team in all of baseball. Every time we get to play a bottom-feeding team, they are in the middle of their one and only hot streak of the year. The A's are now 9-4 since the All-Star break and by all accounts are playing the best baseball they have played all year. Same thing happened when we faced Minnesota and the Angels. Just pathetic no-talent teams catching us during their 10 days of hot play. Then shortly after facing us they go right back to sucking big time.

Maybe so after game but the pitcher has the ball then. Just pretty ticked

At least we have the Royals coming to town. Their offense sucks and they're bad on the road. I bet we get 3 out of 4.

Meh. Kind of nit picking at this point.

 

[Kelleyman]

The first single in the inning ticked me off. Ahead in the count and gave way too much of the plate. Nadel jinxed him when he was brought in singing all the praises of Bush for prior 11 innings. I hate it when announcers do that. Do that after the game. Sheeesh

Maybe he is but Rangers trying to right the ship and got a win from Yu spoiled by the pen which has underachieved as a whole. Really wanted to get Yu win over A's. Guess this is a marathon. Like to see us get hot again
