Series Thread: Rangers/White Sox 4/22-4/24

[craigk217]

10-4....I got ya.

I just looked up his stats and in his 4+ seasons he's a .260ish type hitter. So if he can play D like this, you're gonna love him before the AS break. ha

But he's played with both the Jays and A's so as-far-as we're concerned, screw him!

Haha ... anything's gotta be an upgrade at the plate for Beckham.

Our old hitting coach, Greg Walker, ruined that kid who was a highly touted draft pick in 2009 from UGA. He had such promise until Walker screwed him all up.

I really getting tired of Prince's pop ups and ground outs. I hope the Rangers find a way to get rid of his ass. Somebody should ask Banny why he doesn't sit him.

This will be a good test, today, to see if Latos' success is an aberration.

You really didn't think he was gonna have a below ONE ERA very long did ya?

Prince's most effective position for a Sox fan ...

on the base paths.

I fail to see the humor there sir. If it weren't so horribly true, I'd resent it.

 

[craigk217]

How long are yall 'stuck' with Prince?

I don't know his contract numbers. I'm sure he's prolly gettin overpaid.

Another 5 years I think. Detroit is paying a chunk of his salary. We're on the hook for 18 per.

To long.

Not one person in the media has enough hair on their nuts to ask this very fair question. His chase rate is ridiculous right now.

Haha ... hell no, but it his early success has been quite the surprise. Nobody really saw that coming.

Again, the Rangers will be a good barometer to see.

Well, after that triple play fiasco from Thurs, I simply could not resist.

That was a first ever triple play like that in the history of baseball.

Mr saddles, believe it was, was making note how our "baseball media guys" are just not into "confrontations." Actually, I think other "monikers" were applied, but since it's the Sabbath and all, why don't we stay G rated?

And while they're at it ask why Rua has been riding pine till lately

 

[romeo212000]

That pitch won't get very many big league hitters out, Derek.

Good lawwwwd.

I know that friggen pain with the abortion of a contract we were saddled with in Dunn.

Banny probably feels justified in leaving Prince in the middle of the order because of his RBI production, but I think that says more about the stat and RBI opportunities than it does his production.

 

[donaldson79]

I know Holland just gave up a tater, but he's looked really in command today; one exception noted.

 

[craigk217]

If it's any consolation, most owners (like our guy Reinsdorf) expect a player of that $$$ to be trotted out there to play everyday.

It's almost like an unwritten rule/pressure put on a manager to find a spot in the lineup for those types.

Crazy, but true.

I'm almost ready to unload him and pay 5+/yr just to get that weight from around our necks. He can say all the right shit he wants, but at the end of the day he's still hitting in the .100's and April is almost over. Time to get your shit together or get out because I'm about tired of watching it.

 

[DT LUNA]

Desmond seeme to have gotten the sand out of his eyes

 

[romeo212000]

Desmond is seeing the ball much better lately.

 

[romeo212000]

Shame when a 20 yr old kid has a better idea of what to do in the batter's box than half your veterans.

Looks like that was the Kitties' plan when they dealt him to yall.

I know it sux as a fan to have to put up with. Think how the GM & owner must feel.

Who knows ... still early, Price has some time to wake the hell up. I'm sure hoping alot of our guys do. Sooner, rather than later.

"You hear that, Abreu?"
