Series Thread: Your Texas Rangers at the L.A. Angels 5/2 - 5/4

[DT LUNA]

I'm not proposing Wilson as a long term solution. But something, damn near anything, has to be done TODAY. EA looks like he's mentally imploding with each at bat. Wash is not helping him or the team by leaving him to his own get-well solutions. Pep talks be damned.

Sit him, move him, something other than nothing is a starting place.

It's kind of scary to think we've got 2 guys who aren't worth their weight in salt today, and yet we're on the hook for over $200 mil and 10 years.

I think Wash read your signature.

Darvish vs Skaggs... like our chances today. Angels are way more aggressive at the plate than the A's so I can see Darvish getting 8 to 10 ks.

I agree about Yu but how many hits will the 2 3 4 holes get. They are killing us and the pitching becomes secondary when we can't hit and score. Hope that turns around today.

Elvis dropped to 8th or 9th...

Appears 9th.

Robertson? Not sure about him. Rather have Martin @2.

Skaggs kicked our asses last time.

Against the lefty skaggs today....and Martin needs a day off

 

[Nightcrawler]

Hopefully, Yu does his thing and we score 2 or 3 runs for the guy. That should be the winning formula for his starts most of the time. It's not a lot to ask for, but we rarely see both things happen on the same day for some reason......

Yes and this offense today looks rather dim. Glad to see EA move down. Don't really see how Robertson will make much difference. Who knows? Maybe Prince and Beltre will pick it up today.

Appears 9th.

Robertson, Choice, JPA? I mean stick Chirinos in the mix at least.

I would actually rather see Moreland in LF facing a lefty rather than Robertson and that is not something I thought I would ever say.

Agree. Why is L vs R always necessary? Go with the hot bat and right now MM is hotter than Robertson.

Not to mention Moreland doesn't really benefit from days off when he's hitting well.

That line-up is garbage.

I'm afraid Tyler Skaggs is going to have a great day today with this lineup...sorry Yu, we aren't scoring again today....

I'm getting the same feeling.

Skaggs kicked our asses last time.

Yeah he did but I was thinking that now we have seen him once we might have a little more success. Also, we have a pretty crappy looking line up today... generally those end up scoring the most runs for us.

If we score, YU will have to pitch a shut out.

I kind of think the bats will wake up a bit today... no good reason to feel this way. I just think we are due and we are rolling a different lineup out today which I think might shake things up a bit.

Jp should not be on the field. Have hard eneough time scoring runs.
