Yu darvish vs the sox

TAG spinning ...

I hate that. Just call a spade a spade. TAG annoys me.

Well Murphy had the perfect opportunity tonight for his numbers to not drop ...

 

[romeo212000]

Well that was frustrating.

 

[Windingmywatch]

With Peavy going tonight ... I guess that means the end of Baker's homer streak.

Jake Peavy vs. Batters - Baseball-Reference.com

Quite a number of guys have had pretty good success against Peavy. Berkman, Elvis and Moreland especially. Even Murphy.

One thing is for sure. Elvis can't look any worse than he did last night.

Peavy's been scratched... so there's that.

Given our propensity to struggle against unknowns I'm not sure that's a good thing. I hope AJ is calling the game for Grimm tonight. He seems to work well with the young guys.

Hector Santiago ... LHP. TEX has only 7 total ABs against him.

Kind of ironic ... during the O/S when AJ's name was floating around there were a lot of folks who said that AJ was horrible to work with younger guys.

But I agree w/you Romeo ... AJ seems to have really mind melded with our young guys perhaps other than Harrison (to this point) or Holland. I had the feeling that Tepesch missed AJ last night. Given that the opposition is CHW and he got plunked last night ... and it is the rubber game of the series ... I think we are going to see AJ really focused on calling his best game of the season so far tonight ... and a beast at the plate even against a LHP.

(I speculate)

Lets go Grimm reaper!

That's a great nickname for a pitcher.

I really hope he stays a ranger for that reason.

Cruz can stfu. That's Gentry's ball every time.

Grimm has zero command thus far

Yeah he's definitely having trouble with the cold and the wind.

FYI the Rockies just signed Oswalt to a minor league contract. There goes their season.

 

[romeo212000]

Good job getting through that. Hopefully their scrub has a hard time too.

 

[romeo212000]

Berkman just isn't squaring the ball up lately.
