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

Thanks garza good game.

Exactly...your leadoff hitter who's .361 with RISP should be swinging the bat in that situation. He got a good pitch to hit, and usually he'll drive that into the outfield.

Except for all those pop ups.

I think you quoted the wrong guy lol.

Our offense is still sleeping. Good pitching is the only thing winning us ballgames right now, but like I said last night, we're not going to pitch shutouts/1-2 run ballgames every night.

I think you quoted the wrong guy lol.

I quoted him..?

 

[romeo212000]

Except for all those pop ups.

Oh wow. Another guy whining about a couple pop ups.

 

[BLeslie59Rangers]

Great game Garza....offense, you did enough, barely...

Thanks garza good game.

Really was Duane. Very nice. Thanks JD.

Not when you already have the lead and have one of the best hitters with risp at the plate. The squeeze is not a guaranteed run.

It is if you execute and they don't pitch out.

All the folks bitching about this trade and the prospects given up. Now do you see when you have the choice of getting the pitcher or hitter you typically go for the pitcher? Garza pitches into the 8th inning and saves the majority of your pen. This is why the trade was a great one.

Which is what we got out of Ian. An un- productive out.

I do not like the bunt too often ESPECIALLY in the AL.

The bunt is just as unproductive unless you're a pitcher hitting or worse than Mario Mendoza.

If it were Elvis, I'd be bunting..Ian? Nah.

 

[skilledwolf]

Agreed. Elvis also has the ability to leg out a bunt single.

Bunt would have put two runners is scoring position where ther are more ways to score a run. Pop ups do nothing. It's called baseball.

 

[Duane1952]

As of late ian has been our best hitter. In that siuation you do not have him bunt. End of our arguement.

You're out numbered. There's a reason for that.

 

[DT LUNA]

If Ian had homered would anyone be discussing this tonight? I think not.

Exactly.

"7:17pm: The Rangers have also set their sights on Giants right fielder Hunter Pence, and Mariners designated hitter Kendrys Morales to fill a need for a right-handed bat, baseball sources tell Jeff Wilson of the Star-Telegram. Unlike Rios, Pence and Morales are only signed through the remainder of this season. It's also worth noting that while the White Sox are sure to be sellers, that's not the case with San Francisco or Seattle."

Yes, Pence and/or Morales would be great! Sure they both would be rentals but I'm prettty convinced we could at least re-sign Pence, this is his hometown.
