Series Thread: 2015 OPENING SEASON HOME SERIES

I am tired of seeing him hit everything to the left side, even the ball that got through tonight was just a routine chopper to the SS. Had the SS been playing straight up instead of shaded towards the 2nd base bag, its an out. I would like to see him try and hit the ball the other way, or at least try and go the other way.

Watching last night was thinking that it would be great for MY to take Elvis on 1:1 to instruct him on how to put the ball on the RCF gap centerline +/- 5 feet like MY did for what is probably 2/3 of his hits.

Remember when he was an all star???? I really do think Wsh fucked with his brain being the #2 hitter asking him to bunt and hit and run and shit all the time.

That seems like forever ago. If JD starts moving players I'm about ready for Elvis to be on the first bus

I was just thinking give MY one job for now, teach EA how to hit the ball the other way like he did so well. If he can get that done maybe you give him Mags job

Elvis' swing is taylor made for that too.

Yeah I don't for the life of me know why he tries to pull everything

Rumor had/has Elvis going to SDP. AJ Preller might be interested except he's seen this Elvis for awhile first hand and is not likely to bite.

Slider now Nefi

 

[romeo212000]

Just lost his grip on that one.

Two years ago it was Pudge who talked to Elvis and got him straightened out for awhile. I would try that again.

Hello Win Column!

Gentleman, our 1st place Rangers!!!

Feliz pitched better than his results. Nice to see him dial it up to 95.

The fact that the Padres just took on all of that sorry Melvin Upton Jr. contract makes me think they might be close to their spending threshold. If Preller did take on most of the $, he isn't likely to send much back, though at this point I would take a mop bucket to get rid of the money and years

I want Beltre to retire a Ranger. His interview with Emily was awesome.

Banister must like Magadan perhaps knowing him from NL East times. Dunno. But since MY is under contract and has close relationship with Elvis I'd make Young his 1:1 hitting coach for the next month. Then I give him the hitting coach job and let Magadan represent the team at mall openings.

Guys like Rua and Smolinski would benefit too. Both have plenty of pop but they become better OBP hitters if they can learn how to do that well first. Elvis is way past knowing how to do that ... but I agree Young's influence being gone for two seasons and batting 2nd with a crazy role that Wash wanted out of him has messed him up.

When you think about it ... Wash was trying to get more out of Elvis than he wanted out of Young or Kinsler.

As for 'busting it down the line' ... remember his knee injury from the beginning of camp may still be an issue. I think there is something physical going on. Remember the ball on the left side of 2nd last night that Odor made a play on? That was Elvis' ball but he was no where in a position to make it. There is something going on with Elvis physically.

I heard they were actually looking at Sterling Castro. Elvis costs too much.

Love the daylights out of Beltre.
