Mitch still pulling off of everything. I just don't get it.

Glad he figured it out for the last AB last night

 

[DT LUNA]

I have to settle for 2

Let's take the 2 and be greedy next inning

Nomar hit that hard but it just goes to show how crushed that ball that MM hit last night was

I'm hard pressed to recall many balls hit harder than that one. That one got outta the park amazingly fast.

Indians Designate Joey Butler For Assignment

By Steve Adams | July 31, 2016 at 2:06pm CDT

The Indians announced today that they have designated outfielder Joey Butler for assignment to clear a spot on the 40-man roster for Andrew Miller.

The 30-year-old Butler has a bit of MLB experience but hasn’t played in the Majors with the Indians this season, instead spending the 2016 campaign at Triple-A Columbus, where he’s slashed a disappointing .238/.306/.360 with eight homers in 381 trips to the plate. Butler spent the 2015 season with the Rays organization and hit .276/.326/.416 with eight homers in 276 PAs. This season’s poor results notwithstanding, Butler has a nice track record in Triple-A over the course of his professional career. In 2187 PAs at that level, Butler is a .294/.383/.459 hitter.

He really didn't. Pitcher just hung one right in his sweet spot. Mitch basically ran into it.

 

[Bmurph]

Nice play Hanser

 

[romeo212000]

Thanks for the free out.

Well, he ran into 2 opposite field homers on Thurs.

Yeah. I was hoping he was getting things straightened out then. Whatever, he's mashing bombs right now so I'll take it. He does have some ugly strike outs though.

 

[romeo212000]

Nice job, Lucas.

 

[DT LUNA]

Hang in Lucas. Ya got a good bunch behind you.

 

[romeo212000]

Wow. Another bunt single.

 

[donaldson79]

He's one of the more frustrating hitters I've seen in a Ranger uniform.

And I know I'm a broken-record on this, but it makes me totally insane that Mitch knows he's a much better hitter when he hits gap-to-gap, and not try to pull everything. Yet the fucker just plays right into the oppositions plan, the over-shift, time after time.

 

[romeo212000]

Thanks, Robbie.

 

[Bmurph]

Cmon Chirinos

 

[donaldson79]

Wow. Another bunt single.

And that's part of the reason he pinch ran for Maz the other night. He's got some pretty good wheels.

 

[WastinSomeTime]

Nice Chirinos and Alberto.

Source tells me Lucroy to Rangers is in "final phase." I know more than anyone that no deal is done before its done.

Would like to see him clocked in a 50 meter
