Where he can be in position to dribble another roller to SS on the first pitch and kill another rally.

Yeah, but at that point you've already batted around. Silver linings.

 

[scotsman1948]

we just put 5 on the board but let's talk about MY instead.

 

[romeo212000]

Has Holland ever been told to not throw a fastball right down the middle when you have a strong hitter down 0-2?

About a thousand times ...

I don't even understand why he'd throw a fastball there.

 

[romeo212000]

we just put 5 on the board but let's talk about MY instead.

Yes, let's talk about how he grounded out weakly on less than 3 pitches AGAIN with a runner on third to end another Texas rally.

We talk about MY regardless of the score.

 

[romeo212000]

Josh continuing to look better at the plate. If he keeps this going the home runs will come back.

 

[romeo212000]

We talk about MY regardless of the score.

And Wash's stupidity to bat him second.

 

[romeo212000]

How many times do we have to watch FACE's commercial? Pick someone else already. It just depresses me.

2 out, 5 runs in and if it had been another hitter on the team you wouldn't have said a word. someone is going to make the 3rd out. why not be happy that we put 5 on the board?

Because every othe player on the team doesn't have .296 obp and doesn't do the same thing every AB. Wait, he did strike out looking earlier, my bad.

He's an anchor dragging this team down.

 

[romeo212000]

Olt's defense at third looks pretty good so far.

 

[Windingmywatch]

Nice play by Olt.

Reason we comment on MY failing is because it is so predictable. Cruz and Kinsler have the most games played ... 104 ... with Elvis and MY at 103. Beltre 102, Josh 98. When are we going to be treated to MY getting some days off?

 

[scotsman1948]

And Wash's stupidity to bat him second.

i don't like MY on the field either but Wash makes the decisions and he is getting the support of both Jon & Nolan so spending dozens of posts griping about him is counterproductive and a waste of your energy

 

[romeo212000]

Can't do that with butler waiting on deck.

You have no idea if he has their support. For all you know they're getting just as fed up with it as we are, and may be about to rip him a new asshole. If you're going to make a statement at least let it be something you can back up.

Also, I don't just not want him on the field, I don't want him in the lineup.

holland=momentum killing garbage

 

[romeo212000]

Like I said, can't do that with butler up next.

Calm down there buddy. Holland will be fine and we both know he's not garbage. He's just not in a groove yet. Like I said hell get it figured out and be very important down the stretch. We all know what he can do.

 

[Windingmywatch]

MY has a -2.1 WAR. No other player on the team has a batting WAR (including pitchers) has a WAR within -2 of that.

YT left with a -0.2 WAR ... which is ten times better than MY.
