April 4-5-6-7 Rangers at the Halos

[Bmurph]

Welp Smyly sucked for most of that one, could have been much worse but it finally caught up to him and of course he couldn't get anyone else out and it had to be Trout with the bases loaded.

 

[Kelleyman]

The guy is good.

But is he worth it? Was thinking just give him marginal pitches and a walk would not be the worst thing

No, not to me, yes walk him but some how that is not BB.

 

[Bmurph]

Trying to understand why Lat night the bobble did not count nut this one was in the from part of glove in time

My guess was the call on the replay was the ball crossed the front of the glove the same time the foot hit the bag and they gave the tie to the runner but that is all I could see that it could have been

 

[Kelleyman]

I swear we get screwed on marginal calls more than any team in baseball. Same thing on that last pitch. Would’ve 100% been strike three to Gallo or Mazara. No doubt in my mind.

The replay looks broken and as far as that goes it looks like no accountability for umpires on the filed or in NY. The Kulpa fiasco shows no one is running the ship

 

[saddles]

Completely clueless. He’s as bad as Teagarden.

Teagarden?! You had to really rear back for that one. lol

Him vs. Salty was the subject of more Rangers fans arguments back in the day.

 

[PhantomWarrior]

The guy is good.

He is. And bad for us but I’m sure a lot of us have Trout on fantasy teams.

 

[Bmurph]

He is a 4th OF with a subcaliber arm and elite pinch runner. Nice call up in September

Yes he is a AAA player until rosters expand

 

[Nightcrawler]

Have a good afternoon guys.

Looks like we’re still affected by the cold spell from yesterday.

Can’t get anything going. At all.

Trouts a beast. I’m sick of that guy already.

Salty sucked so bad. Terrible memories of that guy.

Salty, Teagarden and Max Ramirez. We were loaded at Catcher. lol

Just think you can't have it both ways. If you overturn it should be obvious but Rangers on short end two nights in a row.

Adding NY is one more ump who cans screw up the game.

But yes you are probably right if giving them the benefit of doubt.
I might be done with that. Replays are often too long. If you can't figure it out in 30 seconds then it is too close to overturn IMO

neither should have been overturned

What was Salty's nickname? Was it Sasquatch? I remember the Teagarden fan club used to get the Salty fan club all riled up by calling him some nickname. That and suggesting he should play 1B.

 

[Kelleyman]

Pretty weak arm in LF for Halos

 

[Kelleyman]

Per the FSSW board DDJ is an elite minor league player. Put him in MILB HOF...

His nickname was salty.

Actual name was saltalamachia

 

[saddles]

No, I mean the name fans called him in derision.

 

[saddles]

I think it just allows Pence and Choo to both play everyday with Gallo playing 1B.

 

[Nightcrawler]

No, I mean the name fans called him in derision.

Can’t help you there

I know lots of fans called Teagarden- “K” garden. There was also a campaign on some radio station to get him as the backup catcher for the all star game. He almost made it !

They would’ve had to bus him from double A to the all star game. It would’ve been hilarious.
