Colby represents what is good about baseball. Working man icon if there is such a thing.

Duane, did Nap homer?

 

[Kelleyman]

Here's the Nap replay

Thanks Kell

Yep, to left.

 

[Kelleyman]

Junkballers are tough on Ranger hitters. But seems like most of team in slump. Hope Rua produces

 

[Duane1952]

Twins losing 7-2 in the 5th.

Tell me again why Prince is in the cleanup spot vs a LH'er?

 

[WilltheThrill]

Has anyone else noticed that over the last month or so Beltre and Fielder often swing so hard that they lose their balance and fall down? It goes along with the uppercut swings and swinging at a lot of really bad pitches. They both just seem to be trying way too hard to hit HR's every at-bat.

I do not understand why Moreland is the odd man out every single time.

Noticed that too. Looks like Prince almost fell down one his swings.

Where is Magadan?

 

[WilltheThrill]

Man, this pitcher is all over the place.

 

[Duane1952]

Where is Magadan?

Hopefully packing his bags.

Ok for the sake of saying so, I understand a manager's allegiance to one of the best hitters on the team and such even in a slump, but for crying out loud. Why in the hell do you take a guy who is struggling as bad as this guy and put him in the 4 hole vs the same handed pitcher. I have no idea why he won't give Mitch the nod over Prince even occasionally. Banister for all the good things he has done with this team, really makes, me wonder some times, if he was paying attention to Hurdle when he was with him. He makes some dumb ass moves

 

[Kelleyman]

logic re Prince is to break up RHBs. But do agree about giving him a break for Mitch maybe tomorrow

 

[Bmurph]

Guess I am glad I cant see this shit

 

[Kelleyman]

still trying to figure out why Odor was guy to cover second on hit and run despite RHB. As Gallardo gives up another

 

[DT LUNA]

When our offense is this sorry it doesn't matter how many runs the A's score.

 

[Bmurph]

there were arms warming in the pen and Gallardo faced Valencia and this one is over

no chance this team scores 4 more runs
