Forum > Today's Lineup
Soto is Dempster's catcher. The object is to score more runs than the opponent, not to score as many runs as possible but still lose.

So Soto helped Dempster out against the Angels all those times, huh? Never bought into the whole ERA with one catcher vs another. It depends on when you get that pitcher and who they are pitching against. Dempster just sucks no matter what when he plays good teams. Simple as that. His catcher is not going to make a difference.

It bugs me when I see Soto in the lineup he bats under .200. I think Wash should tell Darvish to get ready for that Baltimore game cuz dis game is over.

I'm sorry, but if Beltre can play third, he needs to fucking play third. What will it take to make Wash manage with some urgency?

Is Beltre still hurt? No other excuse to put a pitcher, err, I mean MY at third.

#Rangers lineup: 2B Kinsler, SS Andrus, CF Hamilton, DH Beltre, RF Cruz, 3B Young, LF Murphy, 1B Napoli, C Soto
1. Why in the world is Soto starting again? He is a cancer to this lineup.
2. Why isn't Napoli catching and Moreland playing 1st base, his natural position, which isn't Nap's natural position? We already have a liability at 3rd base with MY. Why not have the better defender at 1st. And Moreland had a nice rip as a PH last night. Soto is just terrible.
I just don't get this. A winner takes all and we are not fielding our best defensive lineup or best offensive lineup. Baffled once again.
