The Texas Rangers Thread

[VOLinthaNATI]

Spoke to soon. Bases loaded no outs for the Texas in the bottom of 7.

 

[VOLinthaNATI]

Scratch that, 2-RBI single by Andrus. 1st and 2nd still no outs. Bottom 6th.

The brooms coming out comment was very bad form.

 

[VOLinthaNATI]

Double Play Alex Rios.

 

[vol2013]

Yeah, spoke a bit soon especially with Melancon being unavailable

 

[vol2013]

Got those 2 runs back though

Sure did. I would have given y'all as much chance of sweeping Texas as I gave us a chance of sweeping the Dodgers over the weekend.

Can't predict ball...

Same here, honestly am happy with the series win. If we hold on for the sweep that is just gravy. Looking forward to our 6 games to end the season with you guys

 

[vol2013]

Tie game coming though. Morris has no buisness in a high leverage situation

 

[VOLinthaNATI]

Whoa, 6-5 now in the 7th. Rangers still batting with 2 outs an runners on 1st and 3rd.

 

[VOLinthaNATI]

Why'd Gomez get the quick hook?

 

[vol2013]

Was having trouble throwing strikes. Was getting behind in the count against almost every batter. Plus Hurdle has never seemed confident with him in close games this year

Makes sense. Every time I have seen him he's been lights out.

 

[vol2013]

Kyle Farmswoth has really pitched well. Has surprised me a bit.

 

[vol2013]

Nolan Ryan is retiring effective Oct 31

 

[005]

deuces, Nolan. You're annoying.

The Rangers offense is really anemic right now. They have gone 54 innings now without scoring more than one run in an inning.

I was hopeful that I was going to enjoy pulling for a Vol when they picked up J.P. Arencibia, but he is currently batting .083. Ouch.

This has the makings of being a long, bad season for the Rangers.

So will Ron Washington be without a job if the Rangers don't make the Playoffs?

It wouldn't surprise me if that is the case, but it is hard to blame him for everything. The Rangers have been dealing with some injuries, and the offensive production is horrible.

 

[theutvolunteers]

Offense has been better. First place now and need to beat up on the Mariners next.

 

[volfanbill]

A little late, but congrats on the sweep

Thanks for the pleasant reminder. Losing a series to the Mariners always burns me.

Adrian Beltre joined Darrell Evans, Reggie Jackson, Jim Thome and Alex Rodriguez as the only players with 100 home runs for three different teams.

 

[865dude]

Whole pitching staff is on the DL pretty much. They're done.

 

[volfanbill]

I have no animosity towards Ron Washington at all. He left Oakland for the same reason Art Howe did, he wanted to be an actual manager not a Billy Beane stooge. Best of luck to him and his family as he goes through this personal matter.

 

[865dude]

They've made a nice comeback this summer. I pull for the Rangers a little since that heartbreaking loss to the cardinals in the World Series
