Series Thread: Rangers Travel to Kansas City For Three Games May 3-5

[WastinSomeTime]

Just to give credit where credit is due that was a nice block on that strike 3 pitch in the dirt by Knizner.

 

[WastinSomeTime]

Traveras is most frequent.

That's why I said "one of the very few bad ABs" in regards to Smith. He usually has a good eye at the plate.

 

[DT LUNA]

This home plate umpire sure is calling that low ball for a strike on both sides.

Terribly frustrating for the hitters.

 

[armadillooutlaw]

Starting pitching has been absolutely dominant lately. Lorenzen was a fantastic signing by the front office. Talk about a steal.

 

[DT LUNA]

Some time you need to bunt

 

[DT LUNA]

That was pitiful Semien

It is really early for a trade. Lol

 

[DT LUNA]

Sick of the offense wasting all the good pitching of late. Shake up the line up and see if it might help. Tonight is another embarrassment.

So in fhis pitched friendly park, they should have run Carter. Instead a DP and ar least one run scored and then Winn not in game. SMH

The Marlins may be trading quite a few players.

Kiizner totslly fooled by steal in the 7th. And KC playing small ball scores a bunch after some dink hits and Urena coughs ups the long ball

Way overused FB on Winns first batter. Wonder if Kozner did this. No favor to Winn
i would hands down want Hedges over Kizner
You get at least good defense and called game

Kninzer should be on a commercial flight back to Dallas tonight.

Rather have Huff

Get Padres 8, 12, 18 rated prospects and Woo Suk-Go.

The man Bochy has no place for and refuses to play when he is up here. It is time for CY to step up and get rid of Knizner and promote Huff.

I think he’ll get called up at some point. He has Paul Bunyan like power. I’m hoping management doesn’t see him as a career minor leaguer.

Last year it was if we had some resemblance of a BP we would be way ahead of the pack. Now it's if we had any resemblance of an offense we would be way ahead of the pack.

From Evan Grant:

Remember the Rangers’ last hit with the bases loaded?

Don’t worry. Neither does Bruce Bochy.

It’s been a while. Friday, when the Rangers’ and their inconsistent offense lost to Kansas City 7-1, made it exactly three weeks. Yes, they had a bases loaded situation Friday. Marcus Semien struck out to end the inning. It extended the current hitless skid to 0-for-15. Since April 1, they have seen the fourth most pitches with the bases loaded and had the fifth most at-bats. Hits? They have three. All singles. Earlier in the week, the Rangers went 0-for-6 with the bases loaded in a loss to Washington.
