2014 Offseason

[RevSader]

If Rua can hit .280 with 20 homers....That would be damn neat.

 

[RevSader]

Well that fastball ate Rua alive.

 

[RevSader]

Nick dropping the nice breaking ball.

 

[RevSader]

Nice slider from Chi Chi as well.

 

[RevSader]

Elvis in form already with the glove.

Just turning the game on. How'd we score?

Saw the second run.

Saw the second run.

First run was an IF single that plated Nick Williams from 2nd. Rua lead off the inning with a double and they replaced him with Williams and with 2 outs Rosales had an IF single.

Thank you.

I know it's only preseason and all, but I swear Busby gushing over Emily is already wearing me out.

And she's worried about wearing a helmet with that hairdo. She's got to be kidding?

 

[WastinSomeTime]

Did not see the game but what Chi Chi did today to go along with his spring is very impressive.

I would not be surprised if he does that. He might very well lead the team in HRs if he does. He will probably hit 17 or 18, but 20 is well within his reach.

So glad fake Baseball is over. Bring on the regular season!

Lead the team with 20 homers? Are you seriously kidding?

 

[RevSader]

I turned the game off in the 9th. Grand slam to tie in the 9th...wow that's not good.

 

[romeo212000]

Lead the team with 20 homers? Are you seriously kidding?

My thoughts exactly.

 

[RevSader]

My thoughts exactly.

Was last year the only time ever Texas failed to have a 20 homer player?

 

[RevSader]

Just looked it up. The last time the Rangers failed to have a 20 homer hitter was the 1981 season which had a strike.

It probably happened a few more times before then during the dead ball era, but yeah expecting someone this year to lead the team with 20 homers is absurd.

 

[saddles]

I don't see anyone hitting substantially over 20. I think anyone who hits 20 will be within 2-3 HRs of the lead if not in the lead. I do think we will have several players hitting between 15-20 HRs.

Beltre and Fielder both will likely hit 25 or more homers. You're being overly pessimistic. Mitch if he can stay healthy should hit 20 himself.

Until last year you mean? Beltre led us with 19 last year and no one else was close.

Beltre and Fielder's best years for HRs are in the past. Both are trending down. Mitch staying healthy is not likely either. I think you are being overly optimistic.
