Texas at LAA

He doesn't make many highlight reel catches because he doesn't have to. He just glides under the ball.

You are very right. Marlon Byrd would make the highlights because he was always diving all over the place for balls. Diving looks good but it reveals you were very close to not making a catch... that is dangerous.

I think a good MLB CFer doesn't have to dive because they are positioned well, get a jump with the ball off the bat and have the speed and glove to get to the ball to make routine catches. Less drama means fewer highlights on MLB Tonight ... but also less risk of missing the ball.

First time I saw Gentry at Frisco his ability to close to the ball was incredible. There are very few CFers in all my years of watching baseball that make getting to and fielding deep balls or balls in the gap look so effortless.

His throw (and Kinsler's relay) doubling Wells from deep Left Center was incredible.

Yu gonna make some Angels look silly. Let's do this.

 

[romeo212000]

Beltre talks his way into the lineup and bumps Profar out.

Damn, Grienke is looking good tonight, but so does Yu. This looks like it's going to be a pitchers duel.

 

[romeo212000]

Yeah. Who's gonna break? Hopefully once everyone gets a look a Greinke once they'll find an answer for him.

 

[1502tuley]

Yeah. Who's gonna break? Hopefully once everyone gets a look a Greinke once they'll find an answer for him.

The way he's throwing, it's likely going to be the third time through the reation before that happens.

 

[1502tuley]

They need to get Gentry going before the playoffs

 

[1502tuley]

I sware, every one of our batters has ended up in a 1 and 2 count.

 

[romeo212000]

They're just not having good at bats against him.

 

[romeo212000]

Atta boy Yu and Geo!!!!

 

[1502tuley]

I do believe that's the first time in at least a month that we have thrown out a runner trying to steal.

 

[romeo212000]

No they did it once in the Cleveland series I think.

 

[romeo212000]

Mitch looks like shit lately.

 

[fanman8825]

Mitch looks like shit lately.

I wish he would at least be more patient so we can bring up the pitch count on Greinke

 

[romeo212000]

So does Gentry.

 

[Xx srs bsns xX]

Yu looks good.

Sidenote....appears rep is gone eh? (On my phone)

 

[romeo212000]

Yu looks good.

Sidenote....appears rep is gone eh? (On my phone)

Yep. It's gone and I'm glad.

 

[fanman8825]

Another good thing is that Yu has only thrown 59 pitches.

 

[romeo212000]

Yeah, Yu is mowing them down. He's going to have to keep it going though. Belly is the only guy who can get any offense going.

 

[fanman8825]

Yu should have just thrown Trumbo a breaking ball.
