Score doesn't really matter to be honest. They just can't beat the Rangers... it is a proven fact at this point.
Obviously right now the Rangers are a much better team than the Astros. This team is still growing. We haven't seen the best of them yet.
Rangers relief had wicked stuff tonight . I didn't watch most of the game but lance seemed to pitch well and my God does feliz have some legit stuff . Hey if we win the next two we win the series . I'm not worried about the Astros. Our starting pitching has really turned it around the last couple of weeks . If thy keep it up we will start winning series .
you think Feliz should be throwing mop up games? Or barely used? This guy has really good stuff. He should be pitching in late games. This team is going nowhere this year, lets change everything. Lets go Giles closing games. Harris 8th. Feliz 7th. Trade Gregerson and get something in return. Same with Neshek. Bring Hoyt to the majors. With Giles, harris, Feliz, Hoyt, those are 4 power arms. Sipp as your lefty, we need another one.
One of these years we will have a better team than the Rangers. Their fans literally laugh at us. If we play 20 times they probably take 14.
Your definition of "mop up games" is very suspect. Had another reliever come in and given up runs to really put game out of reach you'd be crying about Hinch not putting Feliz into the game. Feliz has certainly shown he belongs and that's a positive so far this season. I'm happy with any work he's getting and I think you'll see him in critical situations more and more as season progresses. And I don't disagree with prospect of trading Gregerson, but at least wait till AS Break to make that call. If anything, your trying to trade Luke at his lowest after he's blown a few saves the past two weeks. Take a breathe, friend.
Yeah, unfortunately I'm getting in line with this, though I'm still hopeful we can keep things close up until AS break. Rangers have a good mix of young and old, and their old are less streaky than ours.
You want one of the teams best hitters to have less AB's over the course of a season? Makes no sense...
I want springer leadoff. Hitting first seems to force him to change his approach. He doesn't take huge hacks and stays balanced throughout he has a good eye when he's in a patient mindset.
yes i do. He is only hitting .259 but has power. I prefer to see that power hitting 5th. Now, if he starts hitting for better average, then move him to second. Now, i don't know if he is going to hit for a high average as he is a pull hitter.
Agree with this completely, but keep in my mind they'd have to continue to showcase them up until the trade deadline, so u wouldn't be able to have your cake and eat it too. Gregerson would have to continue to close until then.
Bad loss, really bad loss, no other way to put it. Can't get shut down by a mediocre pitcher like that. Can still take the series which is the primary goal, but tonight was really disappointing.
WhiteSox broadcast team was ripping Springer constantly for being a poor base stealer and situational 2 hitter. Saying he was raw. Not seeing things clearly.
