And there's two! Very nice AB!

Nice play. Good job Sam.

If dumbass Odor hadn't just sat back in right field and waited on that slowly-hit roller instead of charging it like any other infielder would have, Darvish might have gotten the win. Although I guess you could say he didn't really pitch all that well, so maybe the right outcome happened.

Elvis hurt him first with his dumbass throw on the hop. Baseball is weird...

Just hoping Yu's inconsistent outing is not injury related. He was moving that neck around too much.

Watching YU bomb again. Nice swing.

Gained a full game over Seattle.

That play was brutal too, although I do give Elvis some credit for trying to make a really tough play. Dumb decision on the throw, though.

 

[Kelleyman]

Getting HRS from Maz and Des is great. Also Beltran making good contact. Hope it turns it around for them. Hamilton has lightning speed out there and great anticipation. His plays cost us runs

Gomez likely to start tomorrow we shall see how that goes. Glad to pick up a game tonight

I can live with a bad outing by Yu because I know he will do much better most times out. The great thing is the offense coming to life.

The Rangers must want some international free agents really bad.

Marlins Acquire Jeff Francoeur In Three-Team Deal With Braves, Rangers

As Evan Grant of the Dallas Morning News points out (Twitter link), the $860K total value of the international slots in this deal, when paired with the $210K the Rangers acquired in the trade that sent outfielder Ryan Strausborger to the Mariners, mean that Texas has acquired the maximum $1.07MM they were allowed to add to their international signing pool. Per the league’s stipulations, a team can only acquire up to 50 percent of its original bonus pool, and Texas entered the current signing period with a pool of $2,157,400 (per Baseball America).

Since Nomar homered tonight does that mean Banny will sit him tomorrow?

Doubtful. He'll want to put his starting OF out there. Gomez/Desmond/Maz
