Heh, so now you can disregard the fact he's only played in 11 major league games because it suits your argument. Get outta here.

No dumbass. The two are not parallels. Murphy has had his chance all season and he's failed miserably. Beltre has had very limited chances and done well. He deserves a shot. Murphy has had his shot.

Get the fuck outta here. You look like a fool.

Puig's only played a month. But he's not the real deal right? Point is, stick with the hot sparkplug player, not the player who has had consistent at bats this year and still not got the job done

Not that he or this is relevant, but Francour had a nearly identical start to his career and look where he ended up.

To clarify, I'm not arguing against playing Engel more, I think he's got the tools to kick start the offense, but to use the small sample size argument against Murphy batting more than .300 since the break, then turn around and disregard the fact that Engel has only played in 11 games ever makes him look like a hypocrite and I'm calling him out for it.

Murphy's larger sample size from the whole season outweighs his minuscule run of good performance. Beltre hasn't had that chance. What is so hard to understand about that? I don't look like a hypocrite. You look like a dumb ass.

I understand it fine, simply saying that you can't just pick and choose your arguments where it suits you. I can counter the argument you just made and say Murphy is a career .300 hitter in the second half of the season, but apparently that holds no weight over 11 games.

So, I've stopped watching this team, because I like my sanity more...but been tracking the game and I just don't understand why Frasor, who has one outing with more than 1 inning this year would come out for a 3rd inning.

Damn. I remember Raburn being a huge thorn on the Rangers side for a couple of years when he was in Detroit.

I'm not. The two arguments are different. Quit acting like Beltre and Murphy are in the same boat cause they're not.
