Minnesota Twins vs. Texas Rangers 8/30-9/1

[Hambombs]

Wasn't he the same guy saying Sogard is a good player?

Sogard isn't that bad this year atleast. People are under selling him

 

[romeo212000]

I just don't like how you talk down to all a's players when the team is actually very good

Most of them really aren't that good. Crisp, Donaldson, and Cespedes are the only really legitimate bats on their team. Everyone else can barely hit their weight but hit homers and seeing eye doubles at magical times. You got a cousin on the A's or something? Who gives a shit if he talks down on them.

 

[RevSader]

Way to hit that now and not when it mattered Prince.

Yes.

 

[Hambombs]

Fuck the A's. They are a bunch of jokes. I will talk all kinds of shit I want about them. They are a bunch of guys living off outlier seasons. There is a reason they get paid shit, it's because that's what most of them are.

Or maybe the a's don't pay any players jack shit. Also they have been doing it the last 2 years now

 

[DT LUNA]

You make the most ridiculous comparisons I've ever seen.

I. will testify to that in Moreland's case.

Well moss has done pretty good this year and last year. Reddick was a pretty good player last year offensively but his value comes defensively

 

[Hambombs]

Well Mitch and moss isn't a bad comparison. Both are left handed, both play 1st base, they bat against right handers mostly

Mitch actually plays defense. Moss is there only because of his ability to hit homers.

Yeah the only difference

It's not like you see with the Rays, where a guy has a great year and leaves and gets a big pay day. They have their outlier season and then disappear. Look at Daric Barton and Cliff Pennington. Those guys put up great outlier years and then vanished. It only takes them so far. They might make the playoffs, but that crap won't carry them much farther than a 5 game series. And it doesn't matter if the Rangers flame out or not. I would feel this way if Texas was in Houston's situation.

No. Moss hits home runs. That's it. It doesn't make him good.

Moss played 84 games last season. He played in 20+ games in 2010 & 2011 combined.

Don't forget the walks... Sometimes I think their hitters foul pitches into the stands on purpose with 3 balls in the count, just waiting for the pitcher to throw a bad pitch and walk em.

 

[RevSader]

Donald Douche just lost his bat Hamilton style.

 

[Hambombs]

No. Moss hits home runs. That's it. It doesn't make him good.

Well last year he almost slugged over .600 that's impressive no matter rightys or not. This year he's slugging over .500. Still if he's hitting homers or not. You can't deny that he's been a good role player this year

Does 2010-2011 matter now? Noo

He's a left handed Chris Carter that strikes out less and walks less.

Again, he only played in 84 games...

 

[Swangin]

Does 2010-2011 matter now? Noo

Yes it does. You are calling him better than other players with absolutely zero track record for your argument
