Martin does need to learn to read the pitcher a couple times before takin off.

There sure were a lot of folks over on the other site - the Evil Empire one - who wanted to throw EA under the bus! I've been defending him like crazy, despite his half season troubles.

Great to see him come around, and his timing is impeccable!

What were they saying?

Warnings after first pitch?

Leo tried to bunt in the 9th sunday up 5 runs, a no,no.

I hate when umpires do that crap.

No need for it

 

[Hambombs]

Yay belts!!!

 

[Hambombs]

Punch AJ!!

Ford posted on the season thread ... TEX acquired Adam Rosales (again) off waivers from OAK.

I imagine Rosales has an OAKTEX uniform that is split down the middle. Left side is an OAK uni top and the right side is a TEX top.

Suspect this is protection again for Profar+friends DH like last time ... a week ago ... and E.Beltre headed back to AAA.

Might be 3-0 if he picks his spot a little better, oh well nice to take the early lead anyway

I can't believe we claimed him again poor guy

TEX has its standard 2-0 lead so Yu can give make it a new ballgame in the bottom of the first.

Also Mark Reynolds is about to be released

Murphy-like season.

I haven't been able to see any of these games. So, is there some kind of bad blood going on?

 

[Hambombs]

Murphy-like season.

Yup. I remember he had a great start to this season

 

[Hambombs]

What was that pitch at 81?

 

[donaldson79]

What were they saying?

Just general ragging on him! His average was a struggle, and his power is pretty much non-existent. So just piling on crap! It was amazing to me, to see so many folks go south after 50 games!

Anyway, I'm in EA's corner, and hope he continues his hot streak!

GO RANGERS

 

[Hambombs]

Carving up those batters nice

This is going to be a tough game for the Astros hitters.
