Series Thread: tRangers travel to LaLa land. Hopefully bullpen doesn't suck: 4/7-4/10

Ummmm, not feeling optimistic.

So who pitches to Pujols.

Well we didnt figure it would be the lefty, so this is going to be huge for Shawn after the other day. Hope he's up for it

Doesn't set up well

 

[romeo212000]

Like I said.....

 

[Bmurph]

Tolleson is gonna be a wreck after this week

 

[Bmurph]

That was a terrible pitch too

 

[romeo212000]

Well Banny, if you were worried about Tolley's confidence before, you've really done a number to it now. I just didn't like anything about that whole situation.

What a Shitty week for our Rangers. Not the start we were hoping for. Wtf is wrong with this team?

Offense hasn't broken out and the BP hasn't been what we thought

Bad relief pitching and we have two guys in this lineup hitting over .214.

Couldn't have said it better

At this rate Tolley will be relegated to the 7th inning by month end

 

[TheRangerDude]

Its early so, I'm not going to put too much energy into a early 3 game losing streak. You'd like to start off hot but its not always going to happen. They need to get the kinks worked out on the offense and BP sooner rather than later though.

Yeah, honestly going into this season, for whatever reason, I had my doubts he would retain the closer role. Putting him in situations like that certainly helps that case.

Walks are killing the Rangers. 17 in 4 games.

Ouch... thats gotta be close to leading the league. Free passes will come back to bite you most of the time.

 

[WilltheThrill]

I hope I'm wrong, but I think Tolleson is done... like Neftali Feliz done. And I'm not just basing that on these first 4 games. He was virtually unusable down the stretch last season, so much so that Banister went to Dyson to close out games in the Toronto series. Then, he looked really bad in spring training. And now he's been a batting practice dumpster fire in 2 of his first 3 games this season. I really hope I'm wrong here, but he's been trending in the wrong direction for a long time now.

 

[Nightcrawler]

I advise nobody to look at the AL West standings right now.

 

[handicappers]

Wtf is wrong with this team?

1. Bullpen
2. Too many strikeouts on AB's
3. LF and CF need to be fired
4. Leonys Martin leaving was a huge mistake

Can I add Nelson Cruz to that list?
