Series Thread: Texas comes home to face an old friend in Nelson Cruz.

Roogie with another hit

Just an opposite field fly ball Tag, don't get excited. Its been so long since Choo has sniffed anything you just thought it was hit better

It was hit fairly well, but not crushed by any means. He should be making contact like that far more often.

 

[romeo212000]

Chirinos, you really have no plan at the plate, do you?

 

[Bmurph]

Yes Chirinos has turned back into Chirinos

 

[romeo212000]

Sorry guys. Cheerios was just teasing us last season.

 

[romeo212000]

Yes Chirinos has turned back into Chirinos

He was only pretending to be a major league catcher last year.

Yeah it wasn't bad contact, he hit it much better than those he's been hitting. Just not the authority he swings the bat with when he's feeling good at the plate

 

[Bmurph]

Feel bad for the Aussies that came all this way to watch this shit

 

[romeo212000]

I'd rather see Corpy every day than Chirinos.

 

[Bmurph]

he really hasn't done much behind the plate either so far to warrant any excitement

 

[Bmurph]

Claudio sighting on the night he's called up. Show your mettle Alex

I'd be mad if I knew this season wasn't already headed for the shitter. It just sucks that we get a couple of guys on, and then here comes Chirinos, Odor, Choo, or Corporan.

 

[romeo212000]

Another frustrating thing, is where is the power stroke? There's power hitters I. This lineup, not hitting for power. Fielder, Beltre, Moreland, and Choo are all guys who should be hitting 20+ homers and I've seen nothing to this point that indicates they will. Now I do believe Beltre will get going, but I think this is just further proof that whatever Magadan is preaching is just not working.

 

[romeo212000]

That was not a great route, Choo.

 

[romeo212000]

Gotta let Martin run here. Problem is trusting him to be smart about it.

 

[Bmurph]

That was not a great route, Choo.

Looked like Nellie out there was what I was thinking

 

[Bmurph]

you had a feeling he was going w 2 strikes there

 

[Bmurph]

at least you stayed up there long enough for him to swipe a bag Smo

 

[romeo212000]

Might as well. I don't trust Smolinski to get a hit.

 

[Bmurph]

Prince, not just looking for contact there
