My god Upton is fucking garbage

 

[gotime909]

Salty scores from first on a gapper by Gose.

 

[Rebbiv]

Great play by Iggy.

 

[gotime909]

Pelfrey has settled down after the first 2 batters went deep.

 

[gotime909]

JD completely fooled by a 66 mph junk ball. lol

 

[gotime909]

Nick with yet another big hit!!!!

Man he's been a monster!!!

 

[Rebbiv]

It is amazing what taking a few pitches/walks will do.

 

[gotime909]

I wouldn't confuse taking pitches with a pitcher just losing his control. Most of those pitches were no doubters. He also left the game hurt. Another example of how watching the game is so important.

 

[gotime909]

Man, Renaudo is wilder than anyone we have. He's not even close to the zone.

 

[gotime909]

I'm officially over the Pelfrey experience.

 

[gotime909]

Could be worse, we could still have David Price

 

[johnny2x2x]

Wow, David Price has a 6.75 ERA after 7 starts for Boston.

And the new double play rule sucks, as if that's what the fans want to see, more rally killing double plays.

 

[biggunsbob]

So has the scout that scouted Pelfrey been let go yet? Damn he is so bad.
Team was up 5-2 now it's 9-5 Rangers.
a team that was 5-9 on the road before this series started..

Pen just as bad as Pelfrey today with 4 ER allowed.

 

[dale675]

Why even play the 9th? No one gives a damn. This is pathetic.

 

[gotime909]

Have 7 walks today to the Rangers 1. They lead 9-5

4 of our 5 runs scored reached base via a walk.

Texas has 1 man left on base

Detroit has left 9 on base

2 GIDP and to go with that.

5 of the 8 Ks by DET were swinging strikes out of the zone and would have also been walks had they not swung.

Make that 6 of 9

Gose K's on ball 4 with bases loaded to end the game

 

[tigermud]

This team blows dead goats. 4 of 5 starters are complete shit, Upton and Pelfrey might be the worst FA signings of the decade for this franchise.

Something has to change this team doesn't work.
