Do you trust him to come in and get the job done?

He's been showing he can recently.

He's been showing he can recently.

That's not what I asked, but yeah he's been ok recently. I know I don't trust him in a pressure situation.

 

[romeo212000]

I hope we didn't give up more than a case of baseballs for noesi.

Eh, gotta put him in there to see if he can handle if. Every reliever was unproven at one point.

 

[Justinkm83]

There goes being in the top 5 in ERA.

 

[romeo212000]

Okay. Glad this nightmare is over.

 

[DT LUNA]

Our whole middle relief is. Tolleson, Figueroa, and Noesi. I will add Poreda to that list soon also I bet.

We can't get in a hot race with these guys. Should change soon or at least it should.

Should help when Scheppers is healthy. New thread is up. Don't think we'd talk long on this one. This put a bad taste in my mouth.

turned off the game before sardinas showed, whatd he do?

Infield single

Ground ball up the middle that would've scored a run if not for the diving play made.

 

[Broseidon]

JPA insulting question of the day: do you think any of us could hit 0.067 in the majors?

No chance.

 

[WastinSomeTime]

Wow! When I stopped watching it was 2-2 then a little while ago I saw we lost 16-2.

 

[Bmurph]

FSSW replaying this clunker, why must they do this? Isn't there some WNBA or something they could show a bad replay of

 

[TheRangerDude]

No chance.

Haha yeah... I'm not sure I could catch up to a 90 MPH fastball. I was able to hit 80+ a few times in high school though. Been a really long time since those days. Maybe I could bunt hit 0.067... nah, I'm not that fast any more either

 

[UK Cowboy]

No chance.

Plus one. Unless there are some 26 year old's on here who played in the minors and just enjoy talking Rangers. It's like saying, could anyone on here average .05 points in an NBA game or throw for 25 yards a game in the NFL. Nope and Nope. Unless you're the delusional poster on here who actually thinks he could REALLY be a better Manager than Ron Washington. I'm sure he'd be the first guy to hit .400 since Ted Williams smh

If you're gonna say something about someone, grow a set a speak up and say it to them by name. Speaking in half implications is a cowards move. That's about par for you though bud.

To be fair...hitting a 90 MPH fastball is the easy part. You can gear up for a fastball. Its having to account for everything else (and having the bat speed to adjust), that's the hard part.

If you KNOW you are going to see NOTHING but a fastball...then you can make adjustments for it / start your swing earlier / etc. and probably get a few hits. I believe I could do it...then again, I'm 27 and havent lost much off my bat speed since my playing days.

The HARD part... is if everything is mixed in. Changeups, Curveballs, Sliders, etc. The changing of speeds and location... is what is killer. Good luck trying to pick up the seams to figure out what type of pitch it is.
