Brantley sucks.... Release this bum...

 

Brantley has had some shitty luck tonight. He’s has killed the ball pretty much all night with nothing to show for it

 

It’s going to take some games just like it did for this lineup to get going

 

Brantley smokes it again, but no hits.

Needed another week in Sugarland.

sarcasm

 

except Dusty won't keep a consistent lineup so ... the players never get comfortable

 

at least Brantley didn't forget how to catch!

 

"Anybody can hit the ball. It's where you hit the ball that matters!"

 

You say this during a stretch where he’s been tinkering just like he always has but they are still killing the baseball

 

come on Montero, pitch like you make $10M per year

 

Then Chas would still be on the bench?

 

They’re hitting Montero hard, he needs to come out

 

Does Montero ever have a quick inning anymore?

 

Rangers now up 2-1

 

Dum, Dum Dum, go back to where you're from

 

always a heart attack inning by Montero

 

Never a doubt

 

Swing and a miss

 

You mean the fans never get comfortable?

There is some utility with hitting guys in different spots and finding out where things work out the best. Ultimately, when Altuve, Bregman, Yordan, Tucker are all getting key hits in the same games (and all getting the most AB’s)… the rest of the lineup benefits immensely.

He plays the stars regularly and they seem to have gotten more comfortable as they hit the stretch drive. Yanier hits whenever he plays. Chas has continued to hit regardless of his spot in the lineup. Pena hitting better where he’s at now vs. any other spot in the lineup this year (including 2nd).

Who’s getting more and more uncomfortable??
