All star break approaches as rangers visit Baltimore 07/13-07/15

If the Yankees land Machado then their budget will be stretched thin. Meaning, as far as we're concerned, if they have interest in Hamels, then they'll want us to eat more money, or, they may shift their interest toward Minor.

Good. The more contract we eat the better the prospects we get.

Gallo not recognizing the change twice.

Color me shocked.

Marteen kept his cool made a good pitch and bailed Profar out. Perhaps correct that Bartolo is a good influence. MP looking good and pitching fairly quick

I know it's the O's and they're awful. But Martin has hit the corners extremely well, especially when considering it's his first game back. Hopefully he's fully healthy now and we'll get more of the same and give us pause for his future as a solid #3 starter.

Pretty impressive stretch by Guzman. The job is really his to lose at this point. He is not going back down unless severe slump

 

[Kelleyman]

Color me shocked.

Do I perhaps detect a bit of sarcasm here?

What exactly would you call a severe slump? Mine was/is way before a guy hits .185 and is on pace for one of the worst strikeout seasons in baseball history.

I see nothing but up-side with this youngster. What's not to like; plays terrific D, is semi-selective at the plate, has some power, goes the other way, etc.

Me? Surely you're kidding........

 

[donaldson79]

Beltre's trade value at this point is damn near zero.

 

[Kelleyman]

The ball to Beltre looked off the batters foot to me

 

[Kelleyman]

Point is Guzman has clearly won the 1B job as this innings goes wheels off

 

[donaldson79]

Point is Guzman has clearly won the 1B job

UNLESS he goes into 'a severe slump.' Your words sir, not mine.

Thanks for the clarification ha

I'd have someone up in the pen now, and let Perez have maybe one guy reach base, and then yank him. They were hitting the ball-on-the-screws last inning. Luckily, he only got 1 earned against him.

 

[donaldson79]

Thanks for the clarification ha

Hey.....we're all friends here. At least I hope so.

 

[donaldson79]

One terrific outing for Martin......Couldn't have expected this much really.

 

[DT LUNA]

Good job Marteen

 

[donaldson79]

Boy-O-Boy.....what a horrid mistake by IKF......sometimes it hurts to live and learn I guess.

Kiner, you can't do that.
