Rangers vs Twinkies

[elziegreat42]

young needs to tag up on that deep fly ball by murph. the ball was obviously either going to be caught or a homerun. not very good baserunning there

 

[romeo212000]

Fuck this team. I'm out.

 

[1502tuley]

Yep, I blew them off too. I am now watching Holmes on Homes.

They suck so bad that a Rangers fanatic (myself), would rather watch some dude fix crappy houses than watch the shit they have been putting out on the field. That's ficking sad.

Napoli needs to redeem himself now

 

[romeo212000]

Oh my god...

 

[romeo212000]

Fuck you Napoli.

 

[fanman8825]

Fuckin Napoli needs to be benched

 

[fanman8825]

Fuck you Napoli.

0 for his last 22 with runners in scoring position.

 

[romeo212000]

He's so lost he couldn't find his own asshole with a road map.

I clicked back over to the game just in time to see Nap pop out with yet another RISP.

First off, how the hell did we score 3 in that inning after doing nothing all game long?

Second. Nap has go to go. he is an absolute pile of shit at the plate. And his work behind the plate isn't near as good as it was last year, or even as good as it was two months ago. The fact that he has been voted an all-star is a fucking joke, and a travisity to some/any more deserving catcher that wasn't selected to be an all-star.

 

[romeo212000]

Crap!!! Please tell me we get ogando back after the break.

He is pathetic 0 for his last 22 with RISP

Napoli has been awful for about the last month or so, but you guys are being way too hard on him. This whole "he sucks, he doesn't even care" stuff is ridiculous. Napoli has given several interviews saying that he's trying everything he can to get out of this massive slump. He said that he is just not seeing the ball well at all right now and his timing is way off. He is a liability right now for sure, and it looks like his struggles at the plate are even starting to affect his defensive play.

But we've all see what a great hitter he can be when he's hot. You don't just give up on someone who is capable of being that dangerous. You bench poor hitters when they're slumping. But with good and/or streaky hitters, you have to let them try to swing their way out of it (especially when your only other option is Torrealba). Cruz was 0 for forever at the end of last season and in the ALDS, but he finally slugged his way out of it and went on a major tear in the ALCS. Napoli will too in time.

The problem is, what we are seeing this year is consistent with what he has traditionally put out. This year's slump isn't the anomoly in his career, his performance in the second half of last year was.

 

[romeo212000]

He's never been this bad.

 

[romeo212000]

Bull crap. He was safe.

I have always liked Naps but he has been awful the last month and he seems to be pressing way too hard trying to swing for the fences. Now as far as he does not care I do not believe that is true. Would just like to see him go to right field more like he did last year.

No, what we're seeing is not what Napoli traditionally puts out. Last year's 2nd half was a bit of an anomaly, but Napoli is a career .260 hitter. Even if you attribute that .260 average partly to last year, he's still at worst a career .255 hitter. He is not a .220 hitter and he's nowhere near as lost at the plate lifetime as he is now.

Get a damn clue Ian.
