Damn Yankee's vs Wash's Rangers , 7/22

Ok. No worries. Just remember it. We'll see where he's at later in the year

I'm okay with that. All I'm saying is as long as he's hitting give him a chance.

SSS
(small sample size).


However, Baker's sample vs. righties is much larger.... and at .231.
and his defense isnt that great for a .231 average.

I really dont see what the argument here is.
Give me the better defender every day of the week.

and I agree, Beltre is far and away the better defender

I think you mis-interpreted. I was trying to predict what he will do. I was just saying we'll see where he's at. I would bet he won't be near .290 though.

Most likely not, but so what? I'll bet he'll still be hitting higher than Baker against righties.

Did anyone else want to to throw something at the tv when Reddick hit that HR last night?

Kinda saw something of the sort happening. After all, it's Oakland vs. the Astros...

Baker is hitting the ball better than he ever has in his career. I would rather have him out there. No need to keep arguing.

Astros might be able to win tonight. They have Cosart on the mound.

It appears we are going to beat the A's if we are to gain ground. No one else seems capable of it.

He's crushing the ball against lhp. That's all.

Against rhp .231/.250/.333 with one homer

That's right on par with his career average vs rhp. So against rhp, baker is hitting about as well as he always has.

Sure looking that way.

Please be there Ogando. We need you buddy!

Rangers pre game is kind of funny as they are talking that Andrus is coming out of his funk with a 4 game hitting streak. First of all that is rather telling about our offense when we are talking about a 4 game hitting streak and secondly he left 4 runners on in his first two at bats last night.

I agree. Not sure what we are going to see tonight. I am hoping it is good.

Gotta hit when it matters. That tells me he loses his approach with men on base.

Is that new ink on ogando's arm?

Believe it or not, he's hitting .357 during that span.
Yet it's obvious he's still a rally killer (as someone mentioned yesterday) and is horrible at driving in runs/hitting with RISP...it's not a coincidence why he doesn't have a single RBI during that "streak".

Seems contagious with our team right now.

 

[WastinSomeTime]

Hope Engel can remember how to play poor guy.

 

[skilledwolf]

So who's a better defender, Beltre or Gentry? We keep hearing about how Beltre is the best defensive OF in our system but Gentry is getting CF tonight. It doesn't matter that much as they're both elite, but I'm curious.

 

[DT LUNA]

The Yankee ba for tonight is terrible.
