Wow.....nice play times two.

 

[Duane1952]

Good play on both ends.

 

[donaldson79]

Well, here we are again.....8 pitches and 2 outs.....Can he finish em off in short order or not?

 

[romeo212000]

Elvis is kicking ass lately.

 

[WastinSomeTime]

Who is this guy playing SS for us really? HA

I notice that we have been quiet in regards to his play lately. Has done much better overall in the last few weeks.

 

[WastinSomeTime]

This where I really wish Odor was batting behind DeShields because of his speed. They have no idea if he could bunt or swing away. Puts more pressure on the defense.

Wonder what brought it about?

Correct....

I wanted Banister to put a boot up his ass so bad early in the year I could taste it. Know what, perhaps I was a tad "premature" in that butt-kicking.

Banny stuck with him, and post AS break, he's been stellar at short and with the bat. Just about as good as any really.

What can I say?

Agree

 

[WastinSomeTime]

No excuse for DeShields on that. From where he is on 1st he can see exactly the trajectory of that ball.

 

[donaldson79]

Does Prince look like he's lost some weight? Not complaining, just as observation.

 

[WastinSomeTime]

I did not realize until they showed that stat that Beltre was doing so badly with RISP. .202-1 HR- 20 RBIs.

 

[WastinSomeTime]

Got some great eyes going on at the plate tonight. Good grief.

 

[romeo212000]

Beltre and Moreland are ass right now.

 

[WastinSomeTime]

Need to lay off those lousy pitches. How can Moreland take those close inside pitches and then swing at one even further inside. Don't get it.

 

[donaldson79]

Never thought I'd see the day, but I have to admit, Buzz/TAG made an astute observation on EA's last hit.

Will wonders never cease?

I said it before. Mitch's trade value will never be higher than it was at the deadline.

 

[romeo212000]

Lots of balls finding gloves so far tonight. Dammit.

He needs to get back to driving the ball, 4 XBH (all doubles) since the ASG

His average is .328 & OBP is .391, but his slugging % is .393

SO he hasn't been terrible, just a bit of a power outage since the ASG, I have a feeling he'll get hot again soon though

Fortunately they have had some of those as well.
