I was at the game yesterday and you have to give credit to the offense for scrapping for 6 more runs after being down 9-2 after 3 innings. That's complexly demoralizing yet they didn't go through the

Kremer. He’s stepped up and delivered some gems this year.    No desire to see Westburg right now.

I want the offense and the pitching to show up during the same game on Tuesday.  16 K's in Game 1 was brilliant.  8 runs in Game 2 should be enough but it sure won't be if you're going to give  up 11 walks in the process.

My vote is for Kremer to start, because I'm an optimist and I believe the O's will need Gibson's veteranocity for game 4.

Westburg has been no worse than any other hitter during this stretch. He only had one at bat yesterday and he had a double today

yeah I'm not getting the Westburg shade, maybe just post game frustration... admittedly I didn't see his ABs today, did he look poor in the field? Stil, 60% of his PAs this series have ended in hard hit balls in the air which we've been clamoring for.

Mullins has got to sit. He is BRUTAL right now. 

You don’t have a glove in CF that helps you. He has to play. You have a righty going in the next game, hopefully that helps although Mullins only has a 633 OPS lifetime vs Eovaldi..in 30 at bats.

MLB playoffs are about who is hot.  If we lucked into a Mateo heater then he needs to play no matter the righty/lefty matchup.  Urias has been scuffling anyway.  By the same token Hicks has to play and they should consider sitting Mullins.  It was good to see O’Hearn have a good swing, maybe that carries over.

We are probably rearranging the deck chairs on the titanic but you lose the ability to worry about a downgrade in defense when you $%#* the bed offensively in the first 2 games.  You don’t completely disregard it but it can no longer be the priority

In 17 games at Globe Life Field, the slash line against Gibson is 247/305/414 and an OPS+ of 91.

In 101 IP, his ERA is 3.28. 1.2 WHIP. 7.8 K rate and 2.5 BB rate.  He does have a HR rate of 1.4.

So, he has that going for him but the current Rangers team has an 850 OPS vs him. Now, most players  dont have many at bats vs him. Grossman has 27 and he only has a 450 OPS.  Semien has 26 and his OPS is 872.

The Rangers have an OPs of 805 vs Kremer. He only has 4.2 IP at Globe and his ERA is 1.93.

The offense scored 8 runs in Game 2.  That should have been around 3 more than necessary.  Gunnar, Mateo, Hicks and them didn't walk 11 batters.

I wouldn't be surprised if he is still feeling the effects of his injuries. Even though Eovaldi is pitching, I agree that someone else needs to play CF on Tuesday instead of Mullins.

I would not complain either way but I probably would go with Gibson.  
 

 

The reality is that we don’t have a good option. We just have to pick the best of the mediocre options we have and I think Gibson is the guy to pick based on his experience.

      The on field product has the talent to win and bring out fans now.  I’m not saying not to spend more money.  Your first paragraph I agree with. The new owner assumes all the “debts” leftover. Ultimately it’s their responsibility to repair it.    They screwed up big time with their pricing. If this team rebounds and gets in the DS the excitement will pick up. Only the last week did they have any momentum after months of losing it.

      That’s a very good point, but then you have the question whether you would be willing to give up McDermott plus for erceg, and that’s an easy trade to make. Plus, the athletics need almost everything, they wouldn’t want Hays But we could’ve found something to satisfy them.

      IMO, this mindset ("new chapter") is part of the problem. We can't act like the past and the terrible relationship that the org had with it's customer base does not matter or have a carryover effect. Whether the org calls itself "new" or not IMO is irrelevant. The issue is whether or not it will operate in enough meaningful different ways. If the org wants more of it's market to be engaged it is going to have to raise the bar to championship expectations and invest more in the on-field product. That would be different from the past and would indeed reflect that something is "new".

      All of you guys talking about empty seats and an unengaged fanbase - did you not see the post showing over 41K in attendance, more than in MIL or HOU?  Are those fan bases also unengaged or disinterested? This is much ado about absolutely nothing.

      I think at this point its just semantics regarding what a successful deadline looked like.  Elias upgraded three positions - SP, 2 RP.  Could there have been bigger upgrades?  Sure, at a bigger cost.  I think it was sufficient.  What has killed the team is the hitting.  If this team had hit like its capable of, and Soto, Eflin, and Dominguez all pitched exactly as they have, we'd all be feeling a lot better about the team, and probably lauding Elias for those three pickups and what a great boost they were at the deadline.  But we aren't hitting - at all - and I don't know what he could have done at the deadline to fix that. Already agreed that the draft strategy must evolve. I don't agree it was a bad strategy to do what they did so far, but it does have to evolve, just as the organization as a whole has evolved.  And I think it will.

      I don't mean this as any kind of personal slight toward you. Please do not take this as such. But people/fans showed how they felt about this team who has been a loser for almost 4 months. And largely continued to hedge (beyond the Eflin addition) at the deadline. I bet you who did not have a bunch of empty seats for their playoff game yesterday .... San Diego. IMO it is because of the effort that they put in to continue to engage the fanbase. You can't sell people on the "homegrown" stars idea and no need to add a lot of outside talent. And then some of those "homegrown stars" who were so hyped flop. And then not extend the ones who turn into stars. That communicates a lack of investment by the org. Now when you add that up in the economy/2024 inflation and combine that with all of the other entertainment choices that people have in 2024; things like this will happen. Empty seats during a playoff game = an unengaged/unexcited fan base. The org has to own much of this.
