HOPEFULLY....it goes without saying that we all recognize this is only a "sports web site" and in the real world, not much is at stake here. Just a bunch of hard-dick-wanna-bees carping about, our team vs your team, this guy vs that guy, my opinion vs yours, kind of stuff.

Nothing really at stake.

We're all Ranger fans and wish the best for each other I suspect.

What did you make of this? Can you give your best guess on what happened here?

I noticed what you're pointing out, but really didn't make much of it until you said what you did.
Not sure. Usually when they know they will be taking the pitcher out they are more than happy to PH for the pitcher unless he was more concerned with the sacrifice and figured the pitcher would be able to do that better.

Oh yeah and if we all agreed it would get rather boring. Some friendly banter is good.

This is a better use of pen giving Patton that one batter

I see a possibility of Patten being a closer if Tolly craps out

Glad Tulo swung at it because it was a strike but the way Telis caught it the ump may not have called it a strike.

He has good movement. I think so too. He had that 1 really bad game. Not sure if Tolleson will hold up as a closer over time.

My jury it still out.

But there's certainly opportunities for both of these guys in OUR BP.

I'm not convinced he'll stick as closer.

Freeman has really improved.

If memory serves, he had something like a 1.81 ERA before he got called up.

Maybe it was more about nerves, home town kid pressure, kind of stuff which got to him. IDK

Just had my 4th one last Thursday. It's no big deal.

Had one polyp with my 1st, two on my 2nd, 4 on my 4th. So I told the doc, "I hope this isn't a straight line equation" when I had my 4th. It wasn't.
That's good to know. Dreading my first and need to take it.

They said Hawkins is 42? Man that guy is in good shape. Still threw it 95.
