Rangers & Royals

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.

This means that Young has cost us 2 games in the season by himself over any other scrub replacement player. 2 games could easily wind up being very important.

i know, im just referring to the present version of holland. not in totallity

Definitely not his best outing. Very difficult to see such a talented player not get it dialed in when you know what he's capable of.

same with darvish at the moment

Exactly. Dude has to quit worrying about the perfect pitch and just focus on getting ahead in counts and letting his stuff do its thing.

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?

only 55 out of the 103 are in a fielding position like 1B, 2B or 3B

wow... You think his fielding is the only issue? His bat is what's costing us games too if not moreso.

Geez Holland.

 

[elziegreat42]

derek holland could single handedly cost the rangers this game. he needs to get his shit together, fast! bullshit

Yup. If they lose it's on his shoulders.

 

[romeo212000]

Don't want to speak too soon but Olt's plate discipline loos 10x better than Davis.

 

[romeo212000]

Bout time for Young to fuck this up. Of course Wash will let him hit.

 

[romeo212000]

Wow, can't believe young came through. I usually like the aggressiveness, but if you're going to run through the stop sign you need to knock the shit out of the catcher. IMO he shouldn't have gone with no outs.

Check CD's numbers in 2008 when he was called up hot from AAA.

I know he was hot, but what were his walks.

Yea... nice hit by MY there. You could see in that camera shot of Olt rounding 3d that Elvis was smoking already past 2d must have gotten a jump when he saw the ball in the gap. Good throws got him ... challenging Francoeur is not smart with no outs. Should have stayed at 3d.

Francour's arm is possibly the best rf in baseball. I was thinking the same thing.

 

[elziegreat42]

very, very, dumb baserunning by elvis, thats inexcusable with no outs. absolutely inexcusable. completely changes the inning and possible the game. i would hope wash would let him know, but he probably wont

 

[1502tuley]

I love Elvis, but that was just plain stupid, and could very well cost us this game

 

[1502tuley]

Fanstastic AB for Cruz. It didn't work out, but he fought off several great pitches.
