Series Thread: Series With Rays Begins Among Trade Rumors July 21 - 23

[Bmurph]

Helluva play, Robinson. A W! An actual W?! Wow.

Cheerio and Elvis were both real good there

 

[Justinkm83]

For his low average he's sporting an .817 OPS.... so no.

His OPS is .650, and was .798 last year

 

[DT LUNA]

Yes I think he has been considerably better than last year but then again I would have been better than he was last year. I think he will continue to improve at the plate and I think his defense at 3rd base or 1B has been serviceable too

Well said Murph

Mark the date down on your calendar and be in front of your tv fellas. The next start for Yu Darvish will probably be his last with the Texas Rangers.

I just don't know any rational person that would want to keep this team together. The " usual" is 10k or more strikeouts per game on offense, limited run support for pretty good starting pitchers, a shitty bullpen, clumsy fielding, and clueless managing. Take whatever you can get and rebuild the damn thing.

Hey cool your jets a second and enjoy the win.

I just want to see JD blow it up and see what kind of haul we get. I'm over it already.

He may make a move or 2 but nobody is blowing up shit, I can guarantee that

What do you call a haul?

Well said Murph

Good job by Gallo driving one into the gap and giving Choo the chance to tie it up. Odor continues to be a one trick pony

I was talking about Odor, not Gallo being our worst hitter. I wondered why all the backlash.

I wasn't talking about Gallo. You spoke of Odor at the end of your original comment. That's who I was talking about.

Excuse me. lol Then I agree with you

Oh.....now you easily have a point there. Odor wont take a walk, cant execute with RISP, and most of his hits are via the HR and not much else. Napoli is in the conversation for the same reasons as well

Yes, he is....so let's put them back to back in the line-up all year.

Sure Yu didn't hurt himself tonight and turn some heads with his 12 Ks. If he's the only one traded this month thats fine with me. We will get plenty.

He wasn't going to sign with us anyway.

Murph, kinda looking forward to the Stars season. They made some noise lately.

 

[Bmurph]

Yeah I see where you could have assumed Odor and yes Odor has been shitty at the plate and defensively

 

[romeo212000]

You think? I still see the free swinging and he's constantly behind 0-2. Either way his defense sure doesn't make up for his OBP.

Until he learns to keep the bat back and drive the ball the other way with more frequency this is what we will get out of him, IMO.

He's never going to hit foul line to foul line.

 

[Bmurph]

Yep, its the "Ron" Banister school of line-up making

 

[Justinkm83]

I'll take gap to gap

 

[romeo212000]

Thought you were talking about Gallo?

 

[Bmurph]

I am gonna go put on my autographed Claudio Frisco Roughriders jersey and have a scotch and a cigar

 

[Bmurph]

Thought you were talking about Gallo?

I think I confused everyone including myself
