Rangers vs. Red Sox II - The Colbra Strikes Edition

Gentry needs some extra time learning to bunt, that was pretty pathetic

 

[txrangerfan1971]

wow torrealba did he even look at the ball?

horrible!

Not sure it mattered, no way he was getting back regardless.

How can McCarver emphatically say that Hamilton's day game problems are due to glare? He doesn't know that. No one has ever said what was up. Heck, for all we know Hamilton could be an insomniac who can only sleep in the mornings. McCarver is just a fake. Always tries to pawn his ideas and opinions off as facts.

It has been quite well documented that the sun really bothers him. He's tried contact lenses and special sunglasses. I don't like McCarver, but he isn't wrong on this one.

This could be a problem. The last two half innings are giving Boston some momentum. Colby needs a shutdown inning here.

is it too early to use leonys as the backup centerfielder?

 

[jta4437]

torrealba kept running like he didnt see that horrid pop up

i know gentry didnt do his job, but no way that should be a double play

There's no way Torrealba would've made it back, could only hope its dropped at that point

He pretty consistently fails to get the bunt down. Not sure I like that call with him at the plate. Might not be long until Martin is in CF everyday. At this point I don't think it would hurt.

 

[jta4437]

Gotta get the leadoff man there, come on Lewis

 

[txrangerfan1971]

But you gotta wonder if the manager knows if his guy is likely to get the bunt down or not. I have no idea what Torrealba was even thingking there. He acted like there was 2 outs. Still no way he was getting back though.

im making a call for a double play

I like Gentry, i think he's useful, but someone with his limited hit tool should at least know how to bunt

I doubt the decision to go there was Torrealba's call

 

[jta4437]

Now that there's some more people over here, these boards aren't bad at all

 

[Stinky Britches]

k maybe not

 

[dmc0015]

Good lord. He stepped on the line? Did Tim McCarver forget the rules of baseball? How did this guy ever play the game?

 

[txrangerfan1971]

Well getting Lewis out of here would be in our best interest I do believe.

 

[romeo212000]

There's long ball lewis.

 

[Stinky Britches]

longball lewis

It's a squeeze play. Your coming hom before the ball is bunted. If the batter pops out then it's next to impossible to get back to third.

I know it was not his decision, it just looked weird how it watched it get popped up and started jogging toward the plate and then looked suprised and jumped back on the plate. Just an odd looking plate.
