Series Thread: RANGERS vs BOSOX 4/7-4/9

Would be nice to see Fielder come thru with guys in scoring position. Hitting a lot of balls into the ground right now.

That's just to bad that Ogando looked as sharp as he did until the BB, and then gets the loss.
Good news is we can regroup and we have the Astros at home. We need our home crowd to wake the offense up.

I'll be at the game Saturday, anyone else going?

Glad I was working today instead of watching this.

That's what you get when your star shortstop would rather tend to the Chia pet on his chin rather than throw and field in the offseason

Indeed, also would have accepted too legit to quit

Yes, I'll be in the seats to the left of the center field grass. I thought Yu was going to be on the mound.

I'm going to find out tonight (probably) where we'll be at, I'll message you later about it

Some things just never change:

SEATTLE -- Josh Hamilton's attempt to beat out an infield grounder with a headfirst slide into first base landed him on the bench for up to two months.

Ya know, if you get to first faster by sliding than running through the base, all the guys running sprints in the Olympics would be doing same.

Washington was impressed with the downward movement of Ogando's fastball, hoping he could get one last double play. In the 24 defensive innings the team had played before the eighth, they had already turned 10 double plays, one short of the major league record for a three-game series according to the Elias Sports Bureau. If Ogando could induce just one more while facing Red Sox second baseman Dustin Pedroia, he could intentionally walk the ever-dangerous David Ortiz and Washington could stick with Ogando to get out of the inning.



That's what I figured. If EA turns that damn DP, Ortiz gets walked.

I didn't get to see that "damn DP" but most everyone seems to think it was almost a gimme. Hate that for EA, the Rangers and us. But what bothers me some is he didn't show up ready to lead the club - physically/mentally - which he knew the Rangers were counting on, and that's DAMNED disappointing.

I have no idea what this means. Sorry

And I'm not at all worried about him long term, nor the hair on his chin.

You come up with some really interesting stats. Do you, or have you used this skill for work purposes, or does baseball & the stats make your world go around?
