Where you going Roog, gonna need you on the field bro

You're kind of a dumb ass, you know that?

Thanks for being so helpful and informative.

They're not disinterested. They're over anxious. The hard hit outs aren't helping either.

Yeah, disinterested really isn't the right word. Maybe more like disengaged is what I was going for, as in not focused enough, not grinding out at-bats, not forcing Graveman to make pitches, etc.

The interest is there. They're just not engaged like they should be because they're too amped up.

great play AB

I feel like sometimes this team doesn't focus or put forth its best effort at bat until the 8th or

I think the word you might be looking for is "locked in".

If the Rangers are going to clinch tonight, they are probably going to have to get a baserunner first. 12 up, 12 down for A's Graveman


You're a fucking genius Evan

And this is why everyone comes to Evan Grant for hard hitting sports journalism.

Guys I consider myself very lucky to lived at the right time to see the two greatest 3rd basemen of all time. Brooks Robinson and Adrian Beltre.

 

[romeo212000]

Alright, god dammit. That's enough of this bull shit. Somebody hit this fucker.

 

[Bmurph]

Fuck it I'm trying way too hard here. I think I need to go find something else to get into before I start throwing shit

Graveman putting in a jared Weaver stellar performance

 

[WilltheThrill]

I haven't seen anything nasty from Graveman yet. He's just throwing strike after strike at around 90 MPH and we can't do anything with it. We either take, lunge too early and hit a weak grounder, or sit back too much and swing late. We have hit a few balls hard, but not enough to put together a rally even if the balls fell in play.

 

[Bmurph]

another double for the 9 hole rookie

 

[WilltheThrill]

And yet some pathetic joke of a player named Pinder, hitting .180, is 2 for 2 against Cole Hamels.

Paging Mike Schmidt. Mike Schmidt to the red phone.

 

[WilltheThrill]

Ok, with the Rangers coming up, I'm going to say a few words out loud.

Perfect game.

No hitter.

 

[Bmurph]

1 run just may do it tonight, lets go manufacture one

 

[romeo212000]

Fuck it. We're gonna get no hit tonight.

I agree he's pretty damn good .
