Fudge. Two steps forward and one back. Over and over and over.

Fire Dusty

How tf did we not sweep this team. Outscored them 23-8

Mess with success?

Dusty says yes.

Best freaking lineup of the year Friday and Saturday and scored 22 runs. Then idiot dusty thinks it's better to play our triple a team in a tight division race. Idiot

time to update the stats...

when Yanier starts vs. when he doesn't

Gosh that's just such a horrible loss. I'll never be able to comprehend how Dusty is so bad at managing this club

Kessinger and Maldonado need to not hold a bat again. Absolutely ridiculous by Dusty

Not gonna happen that Tuve, Yordan & Tucker go 1-12 with no runs scored or RBIs very often.

How many series this year could have been sweeps if we didn't drop the finale? I'm sure it's a few. Off the top of my head

This series, Baltimore, last Rangers series, Nationals. I know there's been more though

The one run we scored was on a past ball against the fing angles. Pathetic

Took two out of three. Let's stay hot on the road. Just keep winning each series and things will work out at the end.

---

Yeah no….there is no redeeming dropping a 1 run very winnable game against a terrible team

---

Yeah this happens a dozen times a season to every WS champion.

We won the series. Take a deep breath.

Huh? Sorry I'm optimistic after winning a series and not losing my **** like the rest of you. Baseball is a grind. On to the next.

Another Dusty special. How many ****ing games have we dropped because of his moronic lineups?

---

Well I speculated at least half a dozen and was told I was crazy and that because Dusty had a lot of talented teams in the past that it meant he's a great manager.

Hey, maybe he was a great manager 10 or 20 years ago. I don't think he was, I think he was just a player's manager who had a lot of talented teams that a lot of guys could manage and everybody liked him.

I know we've spent a LOT of time on his ridiculous lineups but we could just as easily spend as much time or more on when he fails to pinch hit when he should, when he leaves a starter in too long, or picks the absolute worst relievers for certain situations.

He obviously drifts in his focus late in games and it's costing us. If you don't think so you're blind or just willfully ignorant.

I'm also sick and ****ing tired of these lame ass lineups when we're going for a sweep. I guarantee you Silseth smiled to himself when he saw the lineup this morning.

If we had a 4 game lead in the division sure

But when you are behind and your rival is taking care of business against lesser teams, its hard to feel good or optimistic about just winning a series

Then baseball is not the sport for you my friend. It's extremely hard to sweep anyone. We can't control what the Rangers do. If you're winning every series and not gaining ground, you just have to tip your cap.

Gonna have to disagree there but whatever

You can be content with just winning a series against a crap team

just for fun...

if Singleton starts all 3 games at first base this weekend...

and goes 3 for 12 with a double and a walk

(which computes to approximately a .640 OPS)

he will have adequately replaced Abreu's bat/production in the lineup

---

okay, so for the weekend...

Singleton was 3 for 10 with 2 homers and 3 walks

5 RBI and 4 runs scored

on-base % .462

slugging % .900

for a weekend OPS of 1.362

It's true winning the series is the goal. I think the frustration is mainly fueled by the Rangers being on a hot streak. If they were like 6-4 over their last 10 this wouldn't be so bad.

Going 7-3 and not gaining ground or even losing a game makes today feel more important than an august series finale should

I never thought optimism would be so unwelcome around here. I mean good lord. This thread is insufferable after losses.
