Series Thread: Rangers Host the Mariners For Three Games August 12-14

Dunning is off his game and on Howards

Not a good start.

 

[Duane1952]

I bet Dunning has another quality start tonight. I'll say six innings, three runs allowed, five strikeouts, five hits and two walks.

He’s already gave up your run total. Only in the second inning.

Their job should be defined to them when they are hired.

A rebuilding club's manager must manage differently. If they don't then either the front office or the manager or both are not worth keeping.

If the team's goal was to win as many games as possible in 2022 then the front office should have signed 3 or 4 more free agents and traded away 9 or 10 prospects for veterans so they could win as much as possible. They didn't do that because they didn't want to mortgage their future. The manager needs to manage the same way. They need to both be pulling in the same direction.

When 2022 rolls around, whoever is the manager and the FO had better be pulling in the same direction.

I just have a different interpretation of the manager's function on a MLB team.

Looking like crap.

 

[saddles]

He added a double in his second at bat.

 

[Bmurph]

Looking like crap.

He's just not very good

Amazing what a hit or two will do

Yep.

 

[DT LUNA]

Get Dunning out of there.

 

[armadillooutlaw]

Get Dunning out of there.

I disagree. I know he was at 100 pitches but Woodward should have given Dunning a chance to finish the fifth inning. Would have been a nice rebound from the rough start.
Woody is soft as hell.

Surprised he got tossed last night, he's really kinda a pansy

Kinda a pansy is being pretty nice.

 

[saddles]

I love the uniforms tonight.

Round Rock pitchers walked 9 batters tonight.

 

[saddles]

Round Rock pitchers walked 9 batters tonight.

That's a rough night. That's the same number all of our other full season minor league clubs allowed combined tonight.

Griffeys set the tone in Iowa: 'Dad, wanna have a catch?'

DYERSVILLE, Iowa -- The first father-and-son duo to play together in AL/NL history opened the Field of Dreams Game on Thursday in heartwarming fashion by doing something real simple. "Hey, Dad, wanna have a catch?" Ken Griffey Jr. asked his father after the duo emerged from the cornfield beyond...
