CHARGE THE BALL ELVIS WTF ARE YOU DOING WAITING

Apparently because he isn't hitting he's not going to give a fuck in the field either.

I don't know if we would've gotten him but that ball was smoked and one hopped Choo. I don't care who's running, you should have a play at the plate.

......And Choo has got to stop looking and just come up smoking. For heavens sake, that's a high school play. Where are you going to throw the ball if it's a hard hit single right to ya Choo? Elementary baseball .

Matt just couldn't the ball down early. He's battling though. He'll get better. I don't worry about Matt. It will click at some point soon.

Wonder if they'll send Harry back out.

I thought he was somewhat handcuffed by the runner. Not true?

This team is lacking in fundamentals big time.

That is an absolute routine DP. I know he got out of it, but holy shit I can't believe that wasnt turned

I'm going off the posts in here. I can't see the game because of the local thunder broadcast and fox has dropped the ball again on moving it to an alternate channel.

Can't see any rationale - other than RW managing - to send him back out. He's thrown 86 pitches, and he looks so gassed. Please be merciful Wash and sit him down.

I thought so too. He kind of hesitated when the runner came in front then he would've had to come across his body to throw it to 2nd. I could be wrong though. I didn't like the underhand flip from that distance though. I miss the EA and Ian DP, but I know Profar and EA will get it down.

That may have been the smoothest DP combo I've ever seen.

fielder squaring the ball up to center today. good sign i guess. now if he could only do it not once a week

 

[Nightcrawler]

Beltre looks like shit.

I know I'm jumping the gun here in a big way, and it's only been a month into the season, but I'm beginning to really like the idea of Profar at SS and Odor at 2nd. Andrus is really turning me off with his play thus far, and really wasn't that impressed with his season last year. Maybe we use him as trade bait later in the season if the opportunity presents itself and if we're out of the pennant race...that is, if anybody wants him!!

Honestly.....didn't you learn that sorta stuff in Babe Ruth league or earlier? This is way to easy for it to be played so difficultly.

 

[terpsfball09]

say what you want about kinsler guys lol. he's a douche, but he was my fav player on this team and we're definitely missing him on all sides of the game. He was a smart player, a good base runner, a smooth (minus a couple years) fielder with good chemistry with EA, a passionate leader, and good hitter from time to time. He was aggravating with some of the sarcastic looks he gave the ump at the plate sometime and his back shoulder dip uppercut swing, but we miss him.

Jeter/Cano was pretty smooth too.

Something that was hammered into our heads was know the situation, and know where you're going with the ball if it comes to you BEFORE the pitch is ever thrown.
