He kept shaking off the sign and called AJ out to the mound. When AJ got there he told him what he was going to throw and turned and walked off and left AJ standing there.

DOH...I completely missed that

 

[WastinSomeTime]

We cannot even hit it out of the infield.

 

[WastinSomeTime]

Are you really surprised?

Unfortunately I am not.

 

[romeo212000]

shocking.

although a few well hit balls, maybe we get on to him

They've got no idea what's coming an they're just trying to jump on the first fastball they see. No game plan, no patience. Just hacking.

We are making this scrub look way too good... 31 pitches after 3 innings...c'mon guys...

Old people just love to hear their name on tv.

LOL. Did you hear Tom mention last week people were sending him bogus names and he hoped he caught them all.

This guy does have over a 7 era right?

6.40 and on the decline.

Gentry can

Slow start from the offensive is understandable if they've never seen this pitcher. Team should be fine as long as Darvish does his thing.

 

[WastinSomeTime]

Gentry can

That was erased so quick I forgot.

His ERA was over 7 coming into this game. Hopefully they get him second time through.

 

[BLeslie59Rangers]

Yu is dealing!!! lets go offense, wake up!!

Doesn't that make it even more questionable on our impatient plate approach?

 

[pegasusredleg]

Is AH behind the plate? If so he is calling a good game so far. Darvish sometimes does not get the knee high pitch called but he is getting everyone today.

 

[fanman8825]

Yu really has the curve working well so far.

 

[WastinSomeTime]

Their bullpen has been used up if we can get to this guy.

 

[ESPN Refugee]

Yep hopefully the 2nd or 3rd time around will start being a lot more difficult for Ramirez.

Doesn't that make it even more questionable on our impatient plate approach?

Ya I wish their approach was better but I think it's something we'll have to live with in these hitters. They had the best approach in 2010 and a lot of 2011 but all that went away. Mags just needs to keep on drilling the patient approach to their heads.

 

[romeo212000]

Time for Beltre to go yard.

Way to work it Ian

 

[lainey12]
