Your Texas Rangers at the Tampa Bay Rays 9/16 - 9/19

Kudos to Ross for 2 good innings of relief work...

Leonys has been hitting too. Leonys and Gentry should both be in there tomorrow. Mitch also. Enough with with the R/L crap. Mitch was killing lefties before he got hurt.

Baker needs to be in against lefties though.

 

[Bmurph]

I don't think Buechele could be any worse

I disagree. I guess it depends on the lefties stuff, but I want my best defensive team out there, and Baker hasn't swung the bat well enough lately to get PT. Except for the 2 hits in his last 2 games.

He could DH...

Not really. Baker is pretty bleh right now. He hasn't been the same since the DL.

DH'ing Baker is fine.

Elvis is juicing LOL. But seriously if anyone started in the 5 games I wouldn't care... just win some games! Nice win tonight.

 

[darrylgann]

Well shit..... The Indians just won. I'm just hoping we win 2/3 against KC and the Astros dont get swept

Do the honors, nightcrawler. Start a new thread.

Darvish is wonderful but he was off his game tonight and we couldn’t capitalize. I was impressed with the way the Rangers bounced back.

Based on the remaing schedule the computer has the Rays not making the wild card.
That means its Rangers at Indians. I think Rangers are 1-5 against them.

Give me the Rays... Our playoff history vs them is much better. Either way, this team has to keep this up to even make it, so I guess the first step is getting there.

Yup, and the Angels are going to try their hardest to mess things up.

I missed the very end of the game but looked at the box score just now and cannot believe that we wasted Scheppers and Nathan tonight when they could have rested. I want Ryan and JD to explain that to me. I cannot imagine another manager in the league using those guys for a 3rd night in a row with that big of a lead.

It will be the Indians and whoever. Their schedule is very easy.

The Rangers have blown plenty of games they should have had, so I don't know if easy schedule translates in Sept. Those crappy teams love playing spoiler.

And Feliz should have pitched the 8th and 9th tonight. Guess Wash doesn't want him on any potential post season roster.

Saw DMN state that Nathan pitched a 3rd straight game because he wanted to. Who is the manager? Nathan or RW? Can't leave it to a player.

He cares way too much about how much they like him.

Agree and it keeps him from making the hard/best for the team decisions.
