Series Thread: Rangers Hosting Houston Astros AUG. 3-5

I actually noticed that leg kick, and meant to mention something about it on here. I also noticed a slight change in Hamilton's mechanics. He's not resting the bat on his shoulder and he got rid of the double toe tap, which I think was part of his problem. He seems to be driving the ball better lately.

I noticed the leg kick the other day. I actually saw one that was significantly more pronounced, maybe the HR he hit, and then one where it was not as pronounced, think it was a single. I thought, man it looks like he's generating more power with his lower half and driving off that back foot. Here's to hoping he keeps it up

HaHa. I wish that would have been the case with Oliver and Rhodes when Wash was here.

Those two were good LOOGY's. They were just horribly misused.

I will be going to the game Monday night. Hopefully it will be a good game.

Have fun Bennie, bring back a W! I will bench McCullers, so we can rough him up a bit

That comment on the article about EA and Josh is hilarious. Josh needs to learn how to take the "bloop single", if thats what the other team is gonna give him.

That guy obviously knows jack shit or he'd know Hamilton's bat speed is still there. No he's not going to put up .300/40hr/120rbi seasons anymore, but he's still dangerous. I still think he can put up 25-30 homers, drive in 85+, and hit .260-.270. I'll take that from my #6 hitter.

It seems every time a manager keeps using a pitcher when he shouldn't and fails miserably and helps to make the manager look like an idiot we put the said pitcher on the DL.

There needs to be another list for Tanner altogether. The "sucks ass list" SAL.

Not sure if anyone saw what happened in Toronto. Many of the poster's on here favorite player Josh Donaldson was hit in the shoulder. So the ump warned both benches. Then later Tulo was drilled in the chest. No on thrown out. Next the ball whizzes past Donaldson's head. No ejections until the Toronto manager comes out to argue that nothing is being done so he is ejected. Then the Toronto pitcher hits Escobar and he is ejected. What is the point of giving a warning if you are not going to use it.

Right there with you all. As you know when you make a mistake the first time ignorance and the second time is stupidity. Not sure what it is when it goes beyond that.

Umpire knows Donaldson is a dick and enjoys seeing him wear one?

LOL! I knew I would get a response from you when I mentioned Josh Donaldson not to be confused with our poster friend donaldson.

I prefer to call him douchey haircut Donaldson, just cause he's a douche. Good ballplayer though

I'd rather he just be put on an existing list: the DFA list.

He will be around as long as Kirkman probably, we will get to see a lot more of Tanner and in the 8th inning role

Not buying it. Just say he is having surgery and out the rest year will be fine with me.

If Profar ever gets his health back, we may have some MIF depth again
