Series Thread: Texas vs The Fuedal Lords

[donaldson79]

CJ has been pretty garbage this year. Went from a dude that never gives up homers to giving up over 1 every 9 innings.

And it couldn't happen to a more deserving guy IMO.

I hate the house this vain, self-serving ass-wipe lives in.

No one wants to hear this, but Kinsler has had a very good season for the Tigers; both fielding and hitting.

Has only 6/7 errors while hitting around .280/13 HR/75ish RBI/good SLG %.

I was in favor of the trade, and still think the change of scenery did Ian a lot of good.

His offensive numbers are nearly identical across the board. He's going to play more games this year so he will accumulate more stats, but he's performed almost exactly the same offensively.

The big difference is the defense has been better.

Look how the numbers are the same from last season to this season.

He wasn't as bad as people claimed last year offensively. His defense was a problem, but even Beltre was not as good as he has been on defense last year.

A's lose. They have scored 19 runs in 10 days. They are really bad right now.

And Colorado wins!!

I'm happy for him. Wouldn't have made a damn this season anyway

Right! Would have fallen over Dereks dog and broke his leg thus the D/L

Our team should literally be called the DL's. The name Rangers is more offensive to me than Redskins. I can only hope the actual Rangers didn't fall asleep awkwardly and need a year off

Oakland having a huge collapse is way more satisfying. The Angels won't do a damn thing in the playoff with their rotation.

Really? Weaver, Shoemaker, Santiago and Wilson can take them to the 5th and with a lead the bullpen they assembled will take it from there.

Still high on Aiken? Herd he has picked a Jr. College in Arizona.

Very high on him, and yes you are correct. I actually think it might be a wood bat league, similar to the one Bryce Harper played at. Could be wrong though... I also understand that a lot could happen between now and next June. But as of now, he is my top player BY FAR. The upside is just so promising. He'd be the best pitcher we've had in our system in as long as I can remember. Seriously. Whoever ends up getting him needs to take good care of that boy

They are toast without Richards. Weaver isn't the guy he used to be and CJ is giving up too many homers and big innings.

...and Shoemaker is pitching over his head. He'll come crashing back to earth when the playoffs begin...

Well, two up on Colorado as of now. Sure JD will covet the nation for the best out there so we will have a choice. Herd TCU has a pitcher that's pretty good.

Let's go Texas!

Two of the biggest names as of right now are Daz Cameron (Mike Cameron's son) and Michael Matuella. Daz is an OF and Matuella a RHP. Would not be surprised to see either go number one.

Yeah, Matuella was who I was thinking of. Duke instead of TCU, tho.

And they built a 5 game lead without Richards and you don't have to be the guy you used to be with the bullpen they have. In fact the Angels didn't suit up a starter the other night and threw a shutout.

You might read some history on them. Might surprise you. And why are they so offensive?

They built a 5 game lead because the A's have been 22-27 the last 49 games. And I hope they try that strategy in the playoffs of playing a 9 inning game with no starter. Would be hilarious. Playoffs and regular season are not the same animal. They aren't going to be able to compete in a 7 game series let alone a 5 game series with their rotation.

Trap...
