Rangers vs Reverends

[jta4437]

I like the TAG & Buzz combo as one is a former hitter and one is a former pitcher, they both offer unique insights to the game from their experience in each of those realms

Damn, double bummer for Moreland, that was a well hit ball that Alonso snared and then pulls up with that hammy injury...

Maybe Joey Butler will get a shot now, b/c it looks like Moreland is hitting the DL

Have a bad feeling that Moreland could be out for awhile.

Luis Martinez and Julio Borbon are the only position players on the RR roster who are on the 40man. If Moreland goes to the DL ... predict Martinez gets called up and Napoli moves to take over majority of 1b work.

0-2 to a .160 hitter who is hitless in his last 14 at-bats and you give up the RBI single. Just inexcusable.

No Moreland could be a big problem for Texas. You'll definitely see more Napoli at first. Also so more Snyder too. Losing his lefty bat and power at the bottom of the lineup will suck though.

How I have missed Josh's bat. Awesome to see josh smoke one off the guy he was traded for.

Brad Nelson at RR is having a good season but isn't on the 40man and I think you are right we are going to see plenty more of Napoli, Snyder, ... and of course MY at 1b for awhile.

What this also may mean is that Murphy gets more playing time over Gentry to put another LH bat in the lineup against RHP.

Thank god Josh is back. we went 4 and 0 in his absence, and he was able to take some games off and get some rest. It's good all the way around.

Now Cruz is a differnt story. I am really getting tired of him. He's really starting to frustrate game after game

 

[WilltheThrill]

What a daring tag-up by Josh there. Of course when you're as fast as Josh and Venable's arm is as weak as it is, why not steal a run?

 

[1502tuley]

Wow, how can Nap be so good at times, and so bad others? I love that guy, and thus generally give him a blank check pass when he has been in a slump, but this is getting crazy.

 

[romeo212000]

Ugh. Young is so awful right now.

 

[jta4437]

What happened to Young going to the opposite field, seems like he is trying to pull everything now, which has never been his game

Hey. It's not the all-star break yet. I'm still hoping he explodes after that like he did last year.

Not when you stand that far off the plate it shouldn't be.

Let's hope.

Wow, heckuva snag by Young there

Was a nice play.

CD was TEX only recent 1b-man that would normally make that play. Very nice snag.

 

[jta4437]

I hate NL baseball, that was just an ugly effort by Volquez, pitcher or not

 

[1502tuley]

What the heck is happening tonight? Feldman hasn't sucked.
