Hambone returns to Anaheim as a Ranger - 7/24 - 7/26

[Bmurph]

True. After those two, their lineup gets pretty suspect.

Oh they usually have somebody like Calhoun end up looking like Babe Ruth vs us don't they? Always seems like the guy batting .200 or something

I gotta start doing that. It won't stop Steve from saying crap like "Keone has been very good at not letting inherited runners score" while our guys are in tight spots. I mean just say anything else at that point. We all know he is capable of babbling on about other random bullshit

It's not a life saver, bye any means. But it'll sure save some loud, profane language, as-well-as, wear and tear on the furniture.

I'm not kidding about this. Nadel makes me tranquil compared to what happens by listening to the other crew.

Banny subs Martin for DDJ and leaves Choo and Hamilton out there.

 

[Bmurph]

Get the leadoff guy

Calhoun has been pretty consistent. Plus, he bats lead off.

 

[romeo212000]

Buzz just can't help his self.

 

[donaldson79]

As much as I want to trade Martin to the Taliban most of the time, I've gotta give him some credit for the fact he hasn't let his nonexistent bat keep him from playing good defense.

And frankly, I'm stunned at this (not surprised). B/c I consider him a mental-cripple.

Umpire's zone got tight all of a sudden.

Yeah Calhoun was a bad example, though he torched us in the series in Arlington earlier. Wasn't really saying he was ever batting .200. In previous years it was JB Shuck or someone similar it seemed

The kid is worth keeping as a 4th OF. Plays better D than Gentry used to.

 

[romeo212000]

Hello win column.

 

[donaldson79]

Umpire's zone got tight all of a sudden.

Isn't that something?

Was thinking the exact same thing; "where was that call in the 3rd/4th inning?"

 

[Bmurph]

Read somewhere that the Kazmir acquisition should net the Stros 1 more win than Roberto Hernandez in their rotation. What garbage, wish I could remember where I saw it

 

[Justinkm83]

Good win. See you guys tomorrow.

Agree....and ya know what? Gentry was a damn good defensive OF. But he didn't have the rifle arm Martin has. Of course, then again, there aren't that many in ML who do actually.

 

[Bmurph]

Chirinos said "playoffs". Playoffs, Playoffs, Playoffs? Haha kidding

Well, maybe he got that ONE tonight with a 3 hitter through 7.

Only ones that even come close are Francoeur, Ichiro, Puig, and to a lesser extent Nelly. But Puig is too stupid and out of control to use it correctly.

Actually, Giovatella bats lead-off now. That's when they started getting hot. He's been their DDJ.
