Rangers vs. Indians this weekend

Thanks for first ball swinging Beltre.

 

[ESPN Refugee]

Beltre easily let Jimenez off the hook. Man that is just annoying to see the first pitch swinging to a guy known for his control issues.

 

[Hambombs]

Can't remember the last time I saw Elvis drive a ball into the gap like that, good to see.

Doesn't matter inning ending double play

 

[romeo212000]

I'm not watching anymore till that crap stops. That right there is exactly what is killing this team.

Very good to see and then the old reliable DP.

I love Beltre but he's killing us with that crap.

Just saw that murphy back in lineup. Would rather see E. Beltre out there.

We all would. But as long as wash is writing the lineup card Murphy won't be spending much time on the bench.

It's going to continue till someone gets them back to fundamentals.

Surely somebody has talked to them about it. I'd love to hear magadan comment on the situation.

Seems to be a mental approach. Not sure what Mags can do other than slowly but surely telling them to be patient.

I'm sure they're out there preaching first pitch swinging and chasing sliders instead.

 

[romeo212000]

Again, I believe having AJ hit behind Beltre may be contributing to that.

 

[DT LUNA]

I'm sure they're out there preaching first pitch swinging and chasing sliders instead.

What explanation might you offer for that kind of play?

 

[bradw516]

What explanation might you offer for that kind of play?

A player who is pressing to make things happen because he knows the team is in a funk. Like Refugee said, it's all mental.

 

[Hambombs]

Does anyone think that AJ made this team to hacktastic

 

[darrylgann]

That was patient, Mitch. Like you were really trying, there. Greetings fellow sadomasicists!

 

[Duane1952]

Its time for mitch to sit.

 

[Hambombs]

Over under 1 run?

 

[romeo212000]

Its time for mitch to sit.

And play who?
