Is Pettis really the best we could've done at third base coach?

Isn't he in last year of his contract.

I find that hard to believe because we made a ton of outs on the bases last year, and it seems worse this year so far.

RW thinks so. And your right, they should have sent him.

Rios has really been aggravating me lately.

Yea. That screw up w/ he and Wilson started him off tonight.

Plus the wind is blowing from the north right now because Rios thought it was gone as well. You know Fielder can jump in there anytime. This is looking like the Hamilton pick up of last year by LA.

I've been trying to avoid that line of thinking.

Me as well.

What is gong on with Beltre on that one?

 

[WastinSomeTime]

That is an error and not a double. Easy play.

Should be a 1-2-3 inning.

That's part of it. I've also noticed him not run hard to 1st when he could beat some of them out with his speed. Especially DP balls. I've also noticed that he doesn't charge the ball at full speed. He will let up before he ever attempts to dive. As a matter of fact I can't remember ever seeing him dive for a ball.

 

[romeo212000]

Well, Perez was due for a clunker.

And that was totally on Rios. Wilson had no choice, and all Rio's had to do was call him off. He had a long way to run, but he'd already done that.

Seems to be more concerned with getting injured than you'd like. I've never seen him leave his feet for a ball that wasn't a feet first slide.

Bases loaded for Norris...gee, where is this headed ???

 

[donaldson79]

Lord....walk Cespedes to get to Norris AGAIN.

 

[WastinSomeTime]

I agree Rios should have called Wilson off on that play but we have bigger problems going on out there than Rios.

 

[BLeslie59Rangers]

Bases loaded for Norris...gee, where is this headed ???

He popped out ....seriously????

 

[donaldson79]

This is Perez's worst game in damn near a year. And it's damn ugly.

 

[romeo212000]

Well, I just don't see this one getting much better.
