Series Thread: Horrid Halos Head to Hollandless Texas

[donaldson79]

What an absolute shitshow of a start.

Ya know, this is really disheartening.

Great/beautiful day for a game, coming off a terrific performance by Martin, and the offense. And we come out looking like the 3rd place team in Little League.

Bass did a great job coming in for Holland. Good job against Freese there.

Que?

 

[WastinSomeTime]

No 3rd baseman for Oakland playing the line to rob Smolinski this time.

Tim Cowlishaw apparently reads this forum. Today he has an article wondering about a Choo-for-Hamilton trade.

Que?

Oops.....Martinez.....Gawd, this game has me discombobulated to the point of posting quite poorly.

 

[WastinSomeTime]

That ticks me off. 2-0 and still not selective about the next pitch. And on 3-1 swings at ball 4 and pops out. Santiago was just begging to walk him. Bench him.

Ahhh ... I thought this was a 3pm start.

The matchup concept is not reason enough to have started Rosales over Moreland.

 

[WastinSomeTime]

Martin put a good swing on it. If Rosales walks like he should have then he gets a SAC fly out of it.

Ahhh ... I thought this was a 3pm start.

So did the rest of the team.

Apparently Ranaudo thought so too.

I think Moreland needs to start against LHers. He started his career badly against them but improved once given more opportunities.

I think when August comes around he's going to tell us its the first anniversary of Rosales Player of the Month.

 

[saddles]

Find it odd that Hoying would have 4 triples. Not a player I think of as a triples hitter.

He had one year where he had a lot of stolen bases so he has some speed. he also has some power. I am very intrigued by him and really wish the Rangers were.

 

[Duane1952]

When are we going to have two good games in a row.

Well.....it can't start any sooner than the next two, no matter what happens for the rest of this day.

Seriously.

 

[BULLPEN FAILURE]

Swing away!

 

[donaldson79]

DeShields swings like he's trying to tie it up in the 8th of a playoff game on every swing. Unfortunately, we're behind by 6 in the 3rd inning, of the 10th game of the season.

Geez.....let's not make the pitcher throw lots of pitches like other teams do to us. Two strikes and he cuts like he's trying to knock a hole in the scoreboard.

I believe someone said the trade was proposed originally on the LSB board so that is probably where he found out about it.
