Beautiful job Peebles! Situational hitting has lacked this weekend, so very happy to see the adjustment!

Peebles also looking like a solid pickup

 

[spyfish007]

Its a tie game

Sure. You are missing the point. The pitching is not good.

 

[JCP201]

Definitely better lineup order

 

[Orangeslide]

Great response. Let’s go Z. got the lead, pitch with confidence

 

[TheBigOne10]

Sure. You are missing the point. The pitching is not good.

It’s a bullpen game. Figuring it out. We gave up 3 runs in an 18-inning span first two days.

Give LNS some respect. I think Rangers field is only 326 on the corners

No can do! I’m getting prepared, I hate Texas!

Now pitching, Nate Snead

 

[Freak]

Snead in.

 

[TheBigOne10]

Here’s Snead. Lets eat up some innings and add to this lead

 

[Orangeslide]

Snead in out of the bullpen. First vol appearance. Let’s go!

 

[KptVFL]

Sure. You are missing the point. The pitching is not good.

It's not an ideal start but a lil early to make declarations like....pull the guy.

Not even saying that was you.
Not sure who it was.

Let's see how it plays out!

Edit: Vitello saw all he needed to. New picher.

 

[Freak]

Not a great night for Z but he's off the hook and he'll bounce back.

 

[vol66]

Now pitching, Nate Sneed

His glove should be no problem.

Feels good to have a catcher who can hit without sacrificing defense. Did not like the Charlie Taylor sub last night. I realize the caught stealing is why Taylor got the leadoff AB the next inning, but looks like it need to be Peebles as the #1 on weekends and Stark as the #2. Taylor needs to be a weekday only option.

Snead is who I've been waiting to see the most.

 

[931Vol]

The movement on Snead’s fastball

It’s a bullpen game. Figuring it out. We gave up 3 runs in an 18-inning span first two days.

Doesn't mean that it is not hard to watch that pitching!

 

[Freak]

Not a great night for Z but he's off the hook and he'll bounce back.

Remember, we had some really good pitchers last year give up more run early in games than Z did tonight. Don't write him off.

 

[theroyz71]

That was a strike.

I didn't say pull him. Trying to show more respect. It was hard to watch.

We don't want the third game of the weekend series to be a bullpen game every week though. Hopefully it's just an off night for Z, but need another option if this becomes the norm for Z on Sunday starts.

 

[mattdingus2002]

maybe we treat Sunday as a bullpen game, work Snead as an opener, then just roll who we haven’t used that weekend to finish it off

 

[Orangeslide]

That’s a strike.
