You guys ought to read Eric Reining's stuff on one strike away. I liked his analysis when he posted on BBTIA, and am glad he's got that site going.

Most of Choo's numbers were put up hitting in the bottom 3rd of the order, perhaps Banister is verifying one last time... I dunno, Odor and Choo need to be switched back soon through

OPS by spot
#1 .710 (118 ABs)
#2 .722 (145)
#5 .420 (34)
#6 1.020 (15)
#7 .974 (49)
#8 .984 (16)


IMO it shouldn't last past this series if that's the case.

Nick Tepesch has become yet another Ranger to need TOS surgery. Unreal!

Beltre with another rally killing double play swinging at a shitty pitch. My patience is about out.

The guy threw like 9 straight balls and he swings at the first pitch. He really let this guy off the hook.

Have the fucking pitcher pn the ropes from the word go, and Beltre does that shit. Again. That's how you lose a ballgame.

And after Beltre let him off the ropes we give the lead right back. Congrats on your game defining moment, Adrian.

I tell ya something else, Odor has a horrid time playing 2nd base. He doesn't need to ever run in front of the SS.

Then, he doesn't block - albeit, not a great one - pick off attempt at second.

And I'm with you romeo on running outta patience with Beltre. Jesus, we had the bases loaded without getting a hit and he takes us right out of a killer inning! And the FIRST INNING AT THAT.

I'd lower him in the order. He's no clean up hitter right now.

Atta boy Josh!

Yet the Rooster leaves him there. Switch he and Mitch and see what happens.
