Will do it every time

Twice denied of 1st HR ... on the same play

 

[Nightcrawler]

Seems like the replay always goes against the rangers. Didn’t matter in the outcome of the game, but it would’ve been cool to see him get the HR.

Waiting to see a replay but it appears Garcia got massively screwed

Looked like he slowed down coming around 1st to see what was going on and that cost him, also looked like he didn't have his hand down flat trying to sneak in under the tag. Oh well entertaining play to say the least and it go 2 runs home...

Plays like that don't happen to a player very often but hopefully he learned to keep his head down and keep trucking hard until his base coaches tells him to let up or keep coming...

And our ST wonder this year so far seems to have been David Dahl...

Seems like about 80% of the time I talk bad about a player his ears start burning and they start coming thru, 2 hits and 2 RBIs for Dahl last night...

So who else do I need to start talking bad about besides Taveras???

 

[Uncle Siggy]

I have no idea what to make of this team but damned if they aren't fascinating to watch.

Garcia keeps hitting and his SO ratio down close to where it is right now and they'll keep him on the team...

Trevino in the 2 hole is a pleasant surprise. Really rooting for the dude.

Also, Happy Jackie Robinson Day. Bud Selig didn't do much right, but I'll always respect him retiring #42 league-wide.

He's hitting so why not...

Of course. It's a good place for him.

Personally I would have rather seen this but again that's just me...

 

[Uncle Siggy]

Of course. It's a good place for him.

Yeah Dahl needed a night off against a "normally" tough LHer, we'll see if Hill is his usual self or his 2021 self tonight...

Leody needs to go down and work on hitting. He does not belong on this level yet.

Maybe a couple days off and some quality time spent with the hitting coaches Ortiz/Crabbe can do him some good...

 

[Kelleyman]

Keeping up with the Rangers but caught first couple of games on the tube but mainly catching highlights. Yes Garcia should have been hustling the whole way

Maybe but he definitely needs some quality instructional help. He can't remain in the line up as is.
