Series Thread: Hot White Sox comin' to Arlington 5/9-5/11

I can understand pressure on Banister to play him but what I do not savvy is why play put in the four hole. Now that probably is Banister's decision and a very bad one.

Exactly.

Today is Prince's birthday. Anyone celebrating?

He should take the day off then.

Saw your comment on last thread. My heart goes out to you darryl.

I appreciate that, Wastin

He should take the day off then.

He got in a huffy the last time he was given a day off. He gets moved down there be no end to his reaction to this.

You want three lefties in a row? Bad idea imo.

Hence the "Beltre does better @ #4 than at #3....otherwise O, M, B, C, D, F, A, M, W/H" comment

His contract will far outlast his worth to the team. Lesson learned? I hope.

This is in part to the bogus outside strike they love to call on LHHs, it essentially forces many of them to start chasing garbage pitches... this is going to exacerbate any other struggles they might be having at that time

Andrelton Simmons will need surgery on his left thumb. The Angels say he suffered "a full thickness tear of the ulnar collateral ligament."

Choo is a better OF than DDJ.

I really do not care who is better just as long as someone else is hitting besides Prince.

And the love affair continues:

Prince Fielder, who turned 32 on Monday, ranks 94th in the American League among qualifying hitters with a .190 batting average. His .516 OPS ranks 100 among 102 qualifiers. Texas Rangers Manager Jeff Banister said Fielder is healthy, and he's confident the slugger will regain his power stroke. Fielder had nine HRs and 28 RBI last May. Banister said Fielder must return to swinging at better pitches, which will give him an opportunity to drive the ball. "I believe in him," Banister said.

Syndrome if Banister continues on believing in Prince Mendoza

Just listening to Banister and it doesn't sound as if Ptince is going anywhere

 

[craigk217]

FTR ... picked the Rangers tonite. I'll be happy if we leave Arlington with one W with the pitchers we got facin each other.

 

[craigk217]

Wow ... was just gonna say hella catch.

Nope we're going to put up with this garbage all year. Delino should have caught that.

 

[donaldson79]

Delino should have caught that.

Agree

 

[darrylgann]

Beltre golfing that one!
