What in the hell Elvis...that was a terrible surprise bunt and it served no purpose. Push it passed the pitcher man.

I just don't get that. Why chance giving away the out like we did there? With an out already on the board he's not that much more likely to score from third than second. Better off making a struggling pitcher pitch.

Here's the "Rua Burial Procession" we were talking about earlier.

Andrus just does not have the speed to beat that out.

No need to bunt there when he's been hitting so well.

He does if he executes it better. Gotta push that past the pitcher.

Wat?

It's you making sense, and Elvis being Elvis again I suppose.

 

[WastinSomeTime]

Both of his at bats have looked worlds better tonight.

I missed the first one.

 

[donaldson79]

Wat?

I think it was wastin, saddles and me bantering about how Rua will sit long enough, when he does get his "very sparse ab" he'll struggle and the media will justify him sitting b/c "after all, he's only 3 for his last 17."

So we've left Desmond out there long enough to say, "see, we knew he'd come around" when frankly, over the past 3 years he's shown no reason to lean in this direction.

You are exactly right.

 

[romeo212000]

Okay, Elvis. We forgive you.

 

[DT LUNA]

Okay, Elvis. We forgive you.

He can go from10 to 0 and back to 10 in a hurry

I was one of those and I knew exactly where you were coming from. Rua can be successful and sit and after 12 games or so and Desmond has 1 good game and it will be adios Rua. But it was probably going to be that way whether Desmond hit or not and of course we are all pulling for both guys because it is beneficial for the Rangers.

 

[WastinSomeTime]

A ton of deep counts for Holland tonight. I hope the BP is on.

Ain't that the truth.

 

[WastinSomeTime]

So what does he do. 1-2-3 strikes you are out!

 

[donaldson79]

My goodness, we may get 5 innings outta Holland yet.

 

[Kelleyman]

Nice swing and miss

Gotta hope for a quick 5th and then maybe he can give you an out or two in the 6th.
