Kouzmanoff looked beyond awful in the that at bat

Kouzminoff has no business hitting 4 in the order. What an absolute joke.

Astros fans in Houston got to watch their team tonight. Must feel nice to see a win, even if you can only get the game on the Rangers network.

That kouzmanoff at bat was pathetic. Couldn't lay off of sliders in the dirt and then whiffs on the hanger for strike 3.

Wtf didn't we just resign Jeff Baker? He was cheap and much better.

Beltre is without a doubt the most important member of this team. He is solid at 3rd, great hitter, and you wouldn't have seen crap like tonight if he was providing protection for Prince. Even if they still walk Prince you get a much higher quality at bat than Kouz. I'd bet the Rangers lose 70% of their games in which Beltre doesn't play. He has to stay healthy!

Throw away game tonight. Need to win tomorrow.

- Perez tomorrow... MUST WIN

;-)

Some positives...

Choice with the PH HR.

Scheppers - 7 IP \4 H \ 6 SO \ 1 BB \ 96 PC.

Other than all four Hits coming in 1 inning... you have to admit, the overall numbers looked good.

He hung a pitch and paid dearly... (3R HR). Had he not hung that pitch?! Different ball game.

I look for him to continue to learn how to pitch. The 2nd time through the order wasn't what it could have been, but he hung through 7 IP, and didn't give up more damage.

He and Ross... it is about developing as a SP... results will follow, IMO.

Just hover around 0.500 until we get somewhat healthy or Prince remembers how to hit.

Ocontact and Zcontact in line with career. BABIP is .184, though.

Contact% is 77%, all pretty much in line with career avg.

Was Andrus grimacing on his trot back to the dugout, after the double play?

Looked like he was tapping on his thigh.

He's probably mad that Ron hasn't moved him out of the 2 hole since even he realizes it's a bad fit for him.

Oh, and Prince gonna Prince.

Beltre to the DL. There's just too many black holes in the lineup right now. That and there's pretty much no power threats at all.

PEREZ!

Nice catch

This offense is pathetic
DallasAg 94
How long do you want to ignore this user?
So far...

1 Run in 12IP \ 11.2 IP
11 Run in 10IP \ 10 IP
0 Runs in 5 IP \ 5 IP

A total of 161 Outs... and 12 Earned Runs.

Thats about 53.2 IPs, or a 2.03 ERA.

That has to be one of the lowest scoring series for the Rangers in quite some time.

That is how you do it!

Great job Murphy!

Shame to see great outings by Darvish and Perez continually get wasted.

Prince has been a gigantic bust thus far.
DallasAg 94
How long do you want to ignore this user?
MURPHY!

That is all he needed to do... get the runner home from 3rd.

Fielder will come around.
gigem1223
How long do you want to ignore this user?
He's not going to come around if he continues to hit into the shift. It's amazing a player of his caliber can't hit opposite field.

Labeling him a gigantic bust after 10 games?

Will Fielder eventually hit better than 0.160? Obviously.

But the 10% of the season he's been doing it so far has already cost us the opportunity to win a few games.

Certainly doesn't help that his resume shows he does not play well in situations where he may be pressing.

Labeling him a bust "thus far", yes.

He's been below average in the field and downright horrendous at the plate -- often times in key situations.

Fielder is incredibly overrated, I really think he will continue to struggle on the Rangers. He's not getting any younger and if we're being honest the reason his stats were semi decent on the tigers was because of Cabrera. Just my opinion, but if I were y'all I wouldn't expect him to be anything special.

Edit: I would still take him on the astros, don't get me wrong. Im getting really ****ing sick of these double play balls/strikeouts. We need an RBI man desperately bad... But looks like y'all are somewhat having the same issue

Fielder will be fine with a full season of beltre behind him. He's not going to be an MVP,but he's going to be better than Moreland.
