The WC race gets more muddled as the Rangers welcome Seattle for 4 games - 9/11 - 9/14

Gallo is mentally fatigued it seems to me.......He's made a few "questionable" decisions recently.....And I honestly understand.......baseball is a LONG season when you're 23 years old, I'm sure.

 

[Nightcrawler]

Bats still have time to wake up I guess

 

[DT LUNA]

Joey you cost us 2 runs.

 

[donaldson79]

Sorry.....that's an error on DeShields.....no question.

 

[BULLPEN FAILURE]

Perez doing his job... your turn, lineup.

well, fuck.

 

[donaldson79]

True.....but I'm still more than OK with Mr Gallo for 2017 myself.

Never helps, if you're the pitcher, is to allow a guy to park one in the seats.....However.......If we'd caught/thrown our jobs at other positions, perhaps the guy who hit the homer wouldn't been up to begin with.

But this seems to about describe our season in a nutshell really......

I'd really like to know the average age on this board.

I know DT is an esteemed elderly gentleman and I think Romeo is around my age.

Count me as a senior.

True story. It's a downside of a young guy learning a new position on the fly.

And that's why, at least in a large part, is why we really aren't a post-season "kind of team" IMO.

I'm steal cheering for us as a team.....But honestly, I'm more anxious to see progress "individually" at this point, than as a unit as a whole.......This team isn't whole yet.....So why consider this?....Making any sense here?

Other than Elvis and DDJ, I don't know if there's a player on this team right now that I would consider a postseason-level performer.

Pretty damn sad now that I've come to that realization.

Well.....how about Chirinos? Technically AB is "on the team" but he doesn't really count in your point......Not playing, Choo is (the most forgotten man in our lineup), and to an extent, Nap......

 

[DT LUNA]

Without Adrian in the line up this is just not the same team.

Not to knock Choo or Chirinos, but nothing about their play says "postseason" to me.

Maybe I'm setting the bar too high or looking at the past through rose-colored glasses. I just remember looking at the 2011 squad and fully expected them to steamroll everyone. Top to bottom. 2017? Yeesh. I actually FEAR throwing out this lineup in October. We're starting Drew Fucking Robinson.

Isnt Chirinos leading the majors in OPS for this recent stretch?

OBP maybe, probably not OPS. But he might. And for discussion's sake, let's say he's a postseason-level player.

That gives us... 3? Not confidence inspiring at all.

 

[DT LUNA]

Nice job Cheerio

 

[BULLPEN FAILURE]

OK ROBBY FINE YOU'RE A POSTSEASON PLAYER. SHIT!
