I'm about fed up with Banister.

That would be two of us.

 

[Bmurph]

stick to your FB Matt, no more curveballs

 

[Bmurph]

now Dyson is going to likely end up pitching in this game

 

[DT LUNA]

Bany will bring in Dyson

 

[WastinSomeTime]

Great. We get to use both of them. Better to use Claudio or someone and then if needed bring in Dyson.

 

[Bmurph]

one way to get out of the game only throwing 9 pitches Matt, save your arm for Sept bud

Hope for a one pitch DP

 

[Bmurph]

I hope Banister has some extra time again at Fanfest next year, I really am gonna have to ask the tough questions the media pansies won't

 

[Bmurph]

Hope for a one pitch DP

Id take a strike out and a bouncer to EA at this point but hey I'm easy

good job little Sammy

10 games over .500 despite our lovable manager

 

[WastinSomeTime]

Team playing good ball. Glad to see offense being productive. Profar has done well at lead off.

I do not want him traded.

 

[DT LUNA]

I do not want him traded.

Nor I but how does he fit in?

Trade Elvis. Like him, but Profar has more upside and is cheaper.

 

[Bmurph]

Is there a realistic chance at this?

Philadelphia Athletics, still holds the record for most double plays turned in a season—217 in 1949. That it has endured for almost 60 years, despite an increase in the regular season from 154 to 161 games and in the number of teams playing from 16 to 30, is a testament to the magnitude of the feat.

@SlinkyRedfoot I've been gone all weekend and dealing with other things, but ill take you up.

Congrats.

Hook me up with the avi when you get a chance.

I can't be angry at a manager who is winning. The players believe in him. The Rangers are playing good baseball for the most part. I'm enjoying being a Ranger fan right now. There are a lot of teams that would kill to be in the Rangers' situation.

A couple of things...

Is there a statistic for the number of times a batter has hit a ground ball to the 2nd baseman? Fielder has to be leading the league by a mile in that category.

That constant drumming at Indian home games is creepy.

 

[WastinSomeTime]

When you consider Matt Bush pitched 50 innings in 2011 in AA and had not pitched until this year at this rate I am not sure his arm will hold up until the end of the season.

 

[WastinSomeTime]

Backup catcher Caleb Joseph had testicular surgery after the game tonight due to a foul ball hitting...well you know, the testicles. He will be out 15 days. Ouch!
