Series Thread: Toronto Blue Jays @ the Texas Rangers 5/16 - 5/18

I don't see anything else to say about what all has and is going on. No explanation.

Well much of it is beyond our control. No team can withstand the barrage of injuries we've had. But the one thing we do have in our control is our offensive performance. Yes, we've had injuries affecting this area too, but we should still have the offensive tools in place to get the job done on most days. Fielders slow start, Elvis' abominable hitting with RISP, the lack of any ability to get extra base hits, and Choo's recent inability to make contact are examples of a systemic problem.....our offense fundamentally sucks! and getting Profar and Soto back won't help us much...

 

[BLeslie59Rangers]

It's been a very rough stretch but I don't think the sub-par baseball will be here to stay as a fixture. This may just not be the Rangers' season but I hardly think we'll go back to those days of an irrelevant MLB franchise.

What we do have going for us to prevent future irrelevance is our minor league talent. We've got some exciting young prospects, and I only hope we keep them rather than trading them for David Price....

 

[BLeslie59Rangers]

Very nice job Nick to get out of that...

Sardinas woke me up with a nice play.

Was a good play. Let's just play a game with all minor leaguers and sit our veterans down except Choo and Beltre. LOL! It's almost that now.

 

[WastinSomeTime]

What do you know!

 

[WastinSomeTime]

Moreland stinks. Get the ball up.

 

[DT LUNA]

What do you know!

Funny how a little offense makes a difference.

 

[BLeslie59Rangers]

Rios' triple was the Rangers first extra base hit of the series...

Glad you put "little offense" in that statement.

 

[WastinSomeTime]

Rios' triple was the Rangers first extra base hit of the series...

That is ridiculous.

 

[darrylgann]

That lead will disappear shortly.

Yep. Haven't missed a game yet this season... I just rarely talk during them.

That lead will disappear shortly.

Especially when he walks the leadoff hitter.... -_-
