Series Thread: King-less Mariners invade Globe Life 6/3-6-5

Rua and Fielder sitting. Otherwise, standard non-Sunday lineup behind Dutch today.

Who replaces Rua in lf?

Hoying.

Hoying.

Thanks. Sure wish Mitch would sit and Rua play 1st. It's obvious how bad Fielder has been for the team and was proven last night. Sitting Mitch may help even more. Either way we would find out and go from there.

Iwakuma is right handed. For whatever that's worth.

I start Rua today regardless of pitcher but whatever

Same here. With Rua you have a chance. Mitch not so much.

Carl Crawford DFA'd. Slash line worse than Prince, but not by much.

The Dodgers understand the economic concept of a sunk cost

Maybe we should just count our blessings that at least Fielder is getting some pine time.

But seriously, I do look for Rua to get more time at first and soon.

The Dodgers also are eating about 30% of what the Rangers would have to.

Doesn't matter to me. Nor Desmond. Good time for Rua to learn to go either way besides Mitch has lost his place in time.

Almost impossible.

tough shit fat boy....things are tough all over now aren't they?

Then he needs to start hitting like he's being paid to do

The guy wants to play, and I respect that. But he's been given 2 months to right the ship and if anything it's gotten worse. We're not looking at a small sample size anymore. I appreciate that you're a competitor and want to play, but you also have to get the job done.

Fwiw, I still think the neck has become an issue again and he's hiding it.

Counting this year three Dodgers owe Crawford a remaining 42 million, the rangers owe Prince 72 million, that's 58%, not 30%

Agreed

 

[jta4437]

Mitch needs to start going the other way, choking up a bit and making better contact, he's hitting into the teeth of the shift almost everytime he makes contact and not striking out

 

[donaldson79]

I still think the neck has become an issue again and he's hiding it.

Then shame on him.
