Rangers 2011 season thread

[Vertnut]

MLB.com and ESPN.com both say 2 errors - a dropped foul ball and bad throw by Kinsler. With all due respect, I'm inclined to believe them over a bitter old man that has been known to err on the side of "the sky is falling".

Is the "sky falling yet"? Not many poster's right now. Another loss, another error. Kinsler is becoming a "Ranger killer" at the plate.

Holland goes tonight (I think), but if the boys aren't hitting, it won't matter.

Kinsler has been this lineup's achilles heel for a couple of seasons now, I don't know why it hasn't been readily apparent to more people. Nothing but strikeouts and popouts in clutch situations.

Cruz is on the DL now. Strained quad. Not a ;ot of power in the lineup right now. I guess Chrissy gets to stay up a while now.

Holland is terrible.

[Vertnut]

They got one from the Yanks. Another error, and at what point do you find someone else to hit lead-off? .216? Really?

Good article in today's DMN about the error issue and how it starts affecting guys at the plate.

Davis K'd twice again last night, but also had a walk and a hit. He's at least hitting above the Mendoza line. .250 is respectable for him, especially after going o'fer like 10 or so when he first got called up.

[Vertnut]

I noticed they brought Gentry up from Round Rock. I guess with Cruz going on the DL, they wanted a little help.

[Geor!]

Good hit to drive in two by Napoli.

Gentry is a quick ninja.

Why can't Borbon bunt? Someone with his speed and lack of offensive ability should be able to bunt like a motherfucker.

Might be looking at a potential Lead-off guy, since Kinlser's struggling so badly.

That Gentry steal just paid off, thanks to Elvis.

4-0 Rangers early on. Hope Bush and the rest of the pen can hold this lead.

[Slowhand]

Dave Bush deserves a high five. That's how you 'walk' a guy to set up the double play ball.

[Slowhand]

Not a bad job of pitching out of jam by Bush there.

He gave up two runs and loaded the bases before finally ending the inning. I hardly call that pitching out of a jam. More like pitching out of a disaster.
