Nevermind this was all after Bush sucked.

But seriously, how are these calls being missed.

Lucroy is up there with disappointments this year. When he hits, they seem to be quiet hits. He's been in the middle of the line up all year and has minimal production and his pitch framing and defense suck. It also doesn't help that he runs like he's got a 12" dildo up his ass.

Having the worst pitch framer in MLB doesn't help

Right. So regardless if the Rangers on within striking distance of a WC, what are the chances of moving Nap and Lucroy? I think Chirinos is probably an upgrade, Gallo mostly at 1st, and Choo to DH.

At this point, you would not get much for either, especially napoli.

You mean when Bush throws fastballs it works well? Maybe this is why no one on the pitching staff likes your ***** ass Lucroy

I remember last year many on here swearing he was the cure to Holland and Perez. Now we need to pull him for the closer.

There's no blaming Lucroy for that. You shouldn't have to worry about framing one right down the pipe.

Those two calls were so bad I've got to think the robot was wrong.

Not sure what his deal is but he makes easy pitches that should be called strikes looks very difficult and end up being called balls.

Right....but thinking addition by subtraction on this one

unless we have a 4 run lead, I have zero confidence whoever is pitching the 9th will hold it. Zero.

He had a reputation for being amazing at it.

Ah okay. Yeah, agreed. I would have no issues if we just straight up cut Napoli. He's been so lackluster this season, and is a shell of who he used to be. Lucroy you'd ideally want something in return for.... but he has at this point played himself out of any real trade value of note, unfortunately.

I really can't figure out how Lucroy suddenly became a terrible receiver. And his bat just looks slow and weak to me. Lots of wet newspapers to right field. There's driving an outside pitch to right, but in his case, it just looks like late, meek swings.

It's almost hard to decide which trade was worse the Fielder trade or the Lucroy trade.

How does Lucroy go from last year to this year Lucroy?!?!

Both trades are looking like a total disaster with each passing day...

Yep it's pretty wild. I don't think anyone at the time thought it was a bad trade either, but it's definitely produced lackluster results for us, especially in light of how Chirinos has done when he's gotten a chance. He's honestly been better than Lucroy in pretty much every measurable way. He even seems better at calling games.

13 blown saves.... if we just get half of those, we're still in the division race

What bothers me so much is that we're right there. We're getting in positions to win, just cannot figure out how to close games.

I don't know about you but that would clearly indicate to me we need to trade every bit of talent we have and suck for five years.

It all goes back to the bullpen. Everyone there outside of maybe just Claudio and Kela is underperforming. We just don't have a "put this guy in and the game is over" closer.

Right. Or .... maybe resign Yu and perhaps go grab a closer off the open market.

Pretty even pitching matchup tonight. Hopefully Martinez can build off his last start and give us another quality start. Manage a W tonight, then get a favorable matchup tomorrow with Ross on the mound. Just need to keep winning series.

Dumb baserunning. Had Liriano on the ropes and let him off. Need as many runs as possible with this bullpen.

I like how Morales is so incredibly slow that if Gomez got a hand on that ball that I would say 99 percent of MLB players would double on it might have been a close play at 2nd. I wonder what distance they'd need on a sacrifice fly to score him

Yep. Friggin Napoli isn't taking 2nd whether the throw is cut or not.

Don't want to speak to soon, but what Martinez has given us lately is encouraging. Maybe he's finally figured things out?
