Two one-run losses and two ass whippings for a split.
I'll take it.
And he would do the same thing there that he is doing with the angels. He is too arrogant to do anything else if you think your coaching staff is going to change him.
I just don't think he will listen. If we have heard his faults then you know coaches, owners, and players have as well. Still nothing has changed with him. Swinging at the same pitches. Giving up at bats. Not studying pitchers. Fielding issues. Maddon is probably my favorite manager but I don't think he can even get to Josh.
The Rangers were ripped pretty hard for letting Hamilton, CJ Wilson, Justin Smoak, Cliff Lee, but it looks like they made the right call each time. Lee is still a hard one, but Darvish has been just as good or better and is younger and cheaper. About the only guy I wish they would have held on to is Mike Napoli
Napoli is definitely a guy that they miss.
I don't blame them for letting Hamilton go, but I could not understand why in the world they did not get a trade done for Justin Upton. Because why again? They didn't want to give up Elvis Andrus? Really? When they have Profar stuck in the minors because they have no place to play him? Seems like a good plan.
Wheeler is the kind of high end pitching prospect that usually is given for a guy like Price. You ready to do a Victor Zambrano trade part 2?
Chris Davis now is hard to take. Chris Davis when they had him was easy to see why they let him go. Wash always thought they rushed him to the majors too soon. I like the guy and glad he discovered himself but the Rangers had to do something with him. He had 3 shots with the team and maybe this experience will help the Rangers in not rushing the talent up before they are ready.I don't blame them for letting Hamilton go, but I could not understand why in the world they did not get a trade done for Justin Upton.

Yes, I realize they're currently in first place without Hamilton or Upton but they failed to greatly improve their team by bringing in one of the top young talents in baseball when they could have gotten it done. I also wonder how they're feeling about giving up on Chris Davis right about now.
Yeah, it is hard, but he had plenty of chances to produce here.
