Texas Rangers Thread

One day the Rangers will learn Ace pitching is the way to go. The Rangers seem to have always had really good bats but no pitching.

To be fair, they really tried this year and last year. No one of ace quality wanted to come.

 

[ABQCOWBOY]

Moore is tough.

So yeah, remember what I said about pitching?

Rangers are in big trouble, losing the first game of a short series against a rookie starter with the team ACE on the mound at home. You almost HAVE to win that game. They have to face Shields tommorrow. Hopefully Holland can hold them down.

We already knew Texas didnt have a dominant starting pitching staff. I think we have a championship offense and bullpen. But our starting pitching leaves alot to be desired times. Tampa is based on pitching. They roll out Shields who has owned us this year. Were in trouble.

It's the playoffs anything can happen. CJ dominated the Rays all year...until today.

But I'm very uneasy about the rest of the games.

UGH. I just know the Yanks are gonna regret letting Tampa in, assuming they get by Detroit


nice gesture by the Rangers

Get out of here, you don't know what you are talking about, you clearly have not watched more than a few games.

Ace pitchers don't just grow on trees. It's all about development from within this season...you just have to live with it.CJ failed tonight and may have played his last game as a Ranger. Hopefully Holland (our real pitcher with ace potential) comes through.

I don't know about the rest of you but I got really choked up from watching Josh Hamilton hug that little boy after he threw out the first pitch for Game 1 of the ALDS. Truly hard to watch and I don't think I was the only one affected by it - not after they panned the somber crowd with the cameras. There didn't seem to be a dry eye in the place.

Anyway, it was such an inspirational moment that I thought there was no way we were going to lose today. The very fact that they did find a way to lose (and lose quite badly, I might add) is the reason why I'm posting this now. I just simply can't sleep.

Terribly disappointed.

Moore has good stuff. Combine that with the Rangers have never seen him before adds up to an ugly offensive outing.

To see CJ choke was disappointing, but it wouldn't have mattered much considering the offensive struggles.

That said, CJ will have done himself a disservice if the Rangers don't make it out of these series to right the ship. Teams looking to sign him this offseason will definitely reflect on that outing. Especially it being a playoff game. He will still make bank, but just not as much.

Come on Rangers. Bounce back!

Do you always talk out of your ***? Texas had one of the best pitching staffs in baseball this season.

 

[TheCoolFan]

Looks like Bad Holland! :laugh2:

 

[DIAF]

AWESOME. Bad Holland shows up after 2 months. GREAT.

 

[TheCoolFan]

Offense doesn't look good at all. I think they've had it too easy over the past 2 weeks

I have season tickets so I watch more than "few" games. So tell me do you think the Rangers can win the playoffs, make it to the WS and win the WS with this rotation?

I hardly post in this thread so I dont know what you mean that I always talk out of my *** Bunch of angry Ranger fans up in here.

Bad, how? Not watching it but checking the score occasionally. Only down 1-0 in bottom of the 3rd. Is Holland telling each batter what the next pitch is coming?

 

[Air Force One]

freaking home run..now it's 3-0 Tampa for ******'s sake. 152 game season to get here and Texas is going to roll right the hell over

 

[Air Force One]

thank god we scored a run. Maybe that will break the ice

 

[Air Force One]
