Freaking games like this are so darn PREDICTABLE as to what HINCH WILL DO! You take Kazmir out of the game when the heart of the Rangers lineup is due to hit and he's been shutting them down? DAMN!!!
This. Be honest, you don't trust Sipp, Perez, Harris, Neshek, Fields, Qualls, Thatcher, none of them right now. Probably the last one, get-away-day, like the last 2 series.
Good news is that we have Correa, Rasmus and Gattis up next I guess. Damn that Altuve Flyout is killing us.
Work will be so hard tomorrow with all the stupid Ranger fans talking trash! Pretty soon I won't be able to say "shut up look at the standings"
Also if any of our RH relievers is gonna pitch against their best hitters in that situation, it should be Neshek or Gregerson... period. Harris has been getting waxed lately, so many hard hit balls.
Kazmir hadn't even reached 100 pitches tonight. This one is on Hinch hands down. You paid Kazmir for crunch time and you sit him down...absolutely makes ZERO SENSE
LMFAO So predictable. So do we go down in order in the 9th or get one run so we can lose another 1 run game? Playing with fire...
Hinch is the one to blame for this loss. Kazmir pitched a GREAT game, only one bad pitch. He only had 93 pitches. Who is better, Kazmir or Neshek, Harris, Qualls, ect? Hinch was OUT MANAGED, again. Texas manager made all the right moves with his staff, had Hamels throw 114 pitches, and Hinch only allowed Kazmir, the guy with 5th best ERA in the AL pitch only 93 when he dominated the Rangers hitters all night long. Hinch is HORRIBLE.
You exploit the matchup if you can in any way, shape, or form. Fielder is 0-5 all time against Sipp and markedly worse against LHPs. It should have been a no brainer.
