[True Rangers Fan]

longest HR in the majors this year......491 estimated!

Mazara's?

Glad to see Mitch get an RBI.

What the fuck was Moreland doing?

 

[donaldson79]

Mazara's?

Yes Sir.

 

[WastinSomeTime]

You dive and your safe you knucklehead. Terrible slide on top of that.

Ooops. Error

 

[True Rangers Fan]

Yes Sir.

Holy shit... halfway up the all-you-can-eats!

 

[DT LUNA]

Just got here. 1:00 unexpected. Looks like the offense came alive

 

[donaldson79]

I was actually referring to how he broke stride going into 3rd. Had he not done that, he would've made it easily.

Sorry, I'm not a fan of the head first slide at home.

Colby with another 1-2-3 inning with a low pitch count. May get 6 out of ol' hoss just yet.

 

[donaldson79]

Holy shit

Indeed.

It had a vapor trail, and could not have taken 3 1/2 seconds to go that FOUR-HUNDRED and NINETY-ONE feet.

45 pitches after 2 and 63 after 4.

Baseball is a strange game to understand sometimes.

Banny, do the right thing and get Fielder out of the 3 spot.

Yes and Banister's love of fat ass is part ot it

 

[WastinSomeTime]

If his name is not Prince Fielder with that average of .195 and 2 HRs he would be in the minors. But because it is he hits 3rd in our lineup.

Wow.....nailed this one on the head.

Swear, and I'm not implying Banister is a puppet for the front office, but I feel some of why he's still hitting at all comes from a "general discussion" between JD and Bannister, and perhaps more.

For me, I get TRYING to get something out of Fielder. But why is he always positioned in such a key position is my question?

 

[True Rangers Fan]

OK Colby let's keep the car on the road here.

 

[saddles]

If this is how you felt about last year, then surely you weren't in favor of the trade to begin with were ya?

Nope, not at all. I never thought we would get more than 3 years of decent or better production from him. Once I found out about the bat speed declining the year before we got him I was even more against it. I was just as must against the Choo signing.

 

[WastinSomeTime]

Not feeling good about this.

 

[WastinSomeTime]

That needs to do it for him.

 

[True Rangers Fan]

I'd feel much better if we tacked on 3 more.
