The ump sucks. Pena got fucked but I am just glad to win this game

I don't wanna hear Pena bitch. Archer got that pitch all night.

Ian needs about 3 days riding pine. Maybe that will get his ass in gear.

hopefully profar gets the start tomorrow

I would absolutely give Profar the start at second tomorrow.

Was out all night but kept checking the updates on my phone. Another solid Yu outing and more proof that Profar is legit and a star in the making. I second the calls for Profar starting at 2nd tomorrow (although I'm afraid it will be Kinsler). I've met Ian a few times and he couldn't have been nicer, but his ADD on the base paths, uppercut swing, and costly errors make me want to pull my hair out. Super talented but at times super frustrating too.

Now if we could just get Oakland and LAA to go on mini losing streaks we'd be set.

Scouts on Ian Kinsler:

"He's a good hitter, I'll grant you that, but he might be the worst defensive second baseman in baseball. It's not only the errors he makes, but the plays he doesn't make that don't get called errors because he doesn't get to the ball. They should either stick him in left field or make him a DH."

His boneheadedness is getting old. Wash has got to do something about him. Terrible baserunning, uppercut swing, and poor fielding don't make for a lead-off hitter on a World Series winning team. He's really underperforming and he appears like he doesn't care.

As the author of the article goes on to show, Kinsler is no where near the worst second baseman in baseball. Closer to somewhere in the middle.
Put Kinsler on the trading block and chances are the team that that "scout" works for would be standing in line with an offer.

Author is an idiot. Ian is one of the top 3 second baseman in baseball.

Sorry guys, Wash is being Wash, no Profar today! I'll never understand why he doesn't shake the lineup a little bit?

 

[Xx srs bsns xX]

Profar started yesterday........crazy to think he would start him two days in a row. The sooner you realize that Olt and Profar will get into 1-2 games a week MAX until the division is clinched.....the better off youll be. Just accept it and move on.

.......or I guess you could go to the game and booooooo Wash "to make a point"... like at least one on here has said.....



The #typical lineup is going today. Kins, Elvis, Hamilton, Beltre, Cruz, MY, Murphy, Soto, Mitch

Let's win the damn series.

Frankly I'm shocked he's been given the opportunities he already has. Though I probably would've rewarded him with a start at second after yesterday, but whatever.

Wash deserves to be booed, but not entirely for the Profar/Olt situation. He's dumb as a box of rocks.

FYI we were having a perfectly reasonable conversation until you made a smart ass comment and poked the bear.

MLB Jurickson Profar: I acted scared to see same pitch - ESPN

How awesome is Profar? This kid has exactly the mindset you want.

"As soon as Geo hit that double, I was thinking, we got him," he said.

Epic awesomeness.

 

[romeo212000]

Oswalt off to an outstanding start.

Got home from church just in time for the first pitch of the bottom of the first ...

 

[Windingmywatch]

MY ... GDP

 

[romeo212000]

And MY contributes by killing the inning with a GIDP.... Again.

 

[romeo212000]

Poor Nelly. Anytime he gets on first he knows he's probably going to be headed back to the dugout soon.

 

[Windingmywatch]

Nice catch by Joyce ... good thing MY erased Cruz with a GDP ahead of him so Joyce didn't have to worry about a runner scoring if he missed it.

Sorry posted this originally in the wrong thread.

 

[scotsman1948]

let's worry about something like that when we have a wasted start with Oswalt giving up 4 runs in 2 innings
