Any word on if Beltre is ok? I missed that part of the inning...

Oh good Ackley is out. He is become a thorn in our side too.

I've said it many times, and I'll say it again- Soto needs to play more.

I like Soto. But do keep in mind for his 9 years in the majors he's hitting .245, and this includes .389 of 07' when he won Rook-of-Year. His last 3 seasons: 11- .228, 12- .198, this year .216. Again, I like this guy, calls a good game, plays big in big moments, but still. Let's not over estimate the man.

Man are we taking it to King Felix - 3+ innings, 7 runs 10 hits, 77 pitches....I'm thrilled, but what's wrong with him? :10:

Not saying he's the greatest catcher ever or that he should play every day. But for how well he plays behind the plate and how well he works counts (ahem, AJP), he should get more than just the occasional spot start.

Someone gave the stat earlier his record is only 12-19 versus the Rangers. His overall winning % is .570, and if you take out the Rangers it jumps to over .700 (not counting today). I say again....he should demand a trade to the Rangers at seasons end. haha.....only kidding

Felix should demand a trade to Texas so he doesn't have to face us anymore.

edit: Beat to the joke :L

:agree: Does he seem to be "kind of"....work with me....a little like Gentry? You know: things seem to happen when he's around, even if he isn't doing them.
