Series Thread: Rangers have a sweet tooth and are hungry for some M's&M's - 8/17 - 8/19

[BULLPEN FAILURE]

Fresh off a sweep and playing fantastic at home - Rangers look to keep the party going!

 

[Nightcrawler]

Cruz, Seager, Trumbo, and Iwakuma are seeking to be the party poopers. I'd love to see a quiet and uneventful series from the aforementioned guys.

At least we avoid King Felix, which is odd because we ALWAYS seem to face him when we play the M's.

To build any real serious run at the post season Texas has to quit winning 4 out of 5 and then losing 4 out of 5. I am just happy that in a few more wins they cannot lose 100 games, which looked like a serious possibility at points this year.

 

[Kelleyman]

Seattle's pen has to be running on fumes after the BoSox thrashing. I hope we can get to their pen quickly. Wonder if they have to call someone up

Hey I have a small wager w/future son-in-law we would be at least a 500 ball club. That's looking pretty good right now

Absolutely. The fact that we're legitimately in it at all with 6 weeks left in the season is nothing short of amazing. Hopefully getting Holland back will be another shot in the arm for this team

Even a WC at this point will shock the baseball gods. How could this be they would say?

 

[Bmurph]

Walker Iwakuma and Montgomery, hope we can get to those guys. We always seem to have trouble w Iwakuma

The ump behind the plate in this Angels/Royals game is straight freaking garbage

I just said exactly the same thing to my wife. He's epitomizing everything that's wrong with MLB umpires.

They just said he has had 3 calls reversed in this series by NY too, that he had originally called against the Royals. The strike zone has been all over the place, he's a joke

And yet he'll still be calling games for the foreseeable future.

Sad

and Davis just gives up the gopher ball to Calhoun, and the Angels will probably win this one

Get so tired of watching trout jump and dive unnecessarily to make catches look fantastic.

 

[WastinSomeTime]

Was reading before our BP was revamped that we were outscored in the 8th inning 66-44.

He is really just an average OFer. But they try to make him into something better because of his other tools.

 

[romeo212000]

Royals beat the Halos in extras. Nice.

 

[Duane1952]

And the Royals win.

 

[romeo212000]

Rangers are within a half game of the second wild card spot.

So are they 1/2 game behind Baltimore and Angels?
