SHHWEEEEETT! Looking strong at the right time.
SHHWEEEEETT! Looking strong at the right time.
Lets go Yankees!
Ian ing Kinsler... yeah...
HAMBONE GOES HAM!! yeah...two homers on Balfour...Not sure HOW Josh got that pitch out of the park..that was ing crazy.
Adams and Feliz...hopefully we do a better job of closing this game out than Oakland did.
@ taking out McCarthy after 7 innings of dominating us and a pitch count at under 80.
Something had to be wrong with him...I really don't think he would have taken him out just to bring in the setup man after how he had been destroying us with such few pitches.
If the score stays 3-2, I'd say Balfour should be the first winning pitcher from a losing team.
3 more outs...I'd love to finish this division up before the Angels series.
Especially since it would mean clinching at home. I am going to the home finale on Sunday. But if the magic number is down to 1 at the end of tomorrow, then I'm gonna get tickets for Friday. Or Saturday if it is then. I just hope we get to clinch with a win rather than an Angels loss later in the night.
Let's get an insurance run or two for Feliz
Yeah..that would definitely be awesome...haven't seen a Rangers game since I was 10...would love to go to another one...completely jealous..lol.
Alright Feliz..let's do this..3 more outs.
c'mon Feliz, just pretend you're pitching against the Mariners.
great ing homerun for Kinsler
great ing homerun for Hamilton

I had been waiting awhile to click "submit."![]()
...yeah..you were on it.
time for some playoff roster speculation
here is mine
Lineup
Kinsler-2B
Andrus-SS
Hamilton-CF
Young-DH
Beltre-3B
Cruz-RF
Murphy-LF
Napoli-C
Moreland-1B
If they see a need to have additional right hand batters, they can put Napoli at 1B and Torrealba at C. Have Gentry and Chavez also available for depth and PR.
Starting Pitching
Wilson
Harrison
Holland
Lewis
I think they should always try to use Colby for road games, because with his tendency to give up homers, pitching at the Temple isn't exactly ideal. Plus he has experience in the playoffs and it was overshadowed due to the presence of Cliff Lee, but Colby was actually the Rangers best pitcher in last years playoffs. Hopefully he can regain that form.
Bullpen
Ogando
Tateyama
Oliver
Gonzalez
Uehara
Adams
Feliz
If a starting pitcher needs to be pulled early, insert Tateyama or Ogando.
Use Oliver and Gonzales specifically as left hand specialists.
Uehara, Ogando, and Adams rotate as 7th and 8th inning specialists.
Feliz to shut the door.
Everything rests on the shoulders of Colby and Holland. If they both can consistently make it through 6 innings without allowing the game to get out of reach, I like the Rangers chances at postseason success...
i swear, Colby Lewis is the only guy in the league who can find a way to give up a ing homer to a skinny ass, 150 lb chump like Jemile Weeks. he drives me insane....
The way Holland is pitching, he could potentially become our #2 starter. I'd prefer him to be further down, but he's our 2nd best pitcher going right now behind CJ.
