vs. RANGERS, 4/16

[Malike]

Well it is crucial, considering it puts the pressure on us to win tomorrow. Had we won tonight, at worst, we'd split. Which is what I was expecting against the Rangers.

The pressure you perceive is not shared by the players. Trust me. If they drop this series 3-1 games, they, unlike the the whiners in this thread will not lose sleep, and give up on the season.

He was DFA.

He's with the Tides.

Getting (most likely) two days off thanks to rain tomorrow will be big for the pen. Even with the 8-3 record coming out of the game, the pitching has really labored through these first two weeks. Worse in some cases than I think we expected.

Exactly....all you saying this is on Buck are just wrong. Who was he supposed to bring out in the 7th?? The same guys that are sucking right now?

Tried to make that point earlier, but the seers shouted me down. Also, no credit goes to the Rangers for their hitting either.

If the go on to lose this, it will be 3 Ls in the last 4, with the only win being an improbable comeback. The great start becoming a memory.

He's with the Tides.

Low or high?

Bullpen better be ready tomorrow with Wright getting the start.

Umm how about Brad Brach? He held lefties to an OPS under .600 last year and he's pretty good against righties as well.

Brach pitched last night and the night before.

Ah...so you're the one who Buck was talking to on the other bullpen phone last night.

Buck's main mistake was sending Gallardo out to start the inning. Maybe with a clean slate the pen sneaks through the inning. Impossible to say, obviously. But That Gallardo struggles to get through 6, let alone go beyond it, is not new news. Bad call.

[WEAVERMAN]

Okay we need Mike Wright to come up big. If he's maturing, like someone said, he'll show us something.

Nah, but I know that men don't cry and whine over a loss 11 games into the season. Calling this game crucial is absurd.

You're right. I am a fan and get mad when they lose. Especially when they give away a win. So if you don't care then I don't understand your point of even joining a message board.

[DJHJR86]

Wright will be fine, IMO, be it starter or reliever. I think his last start was hindered by inaction. We shall see.

Did they DFA McFarland yet?

Check the box score, Gallardo didn't get an L.
