Texas Rangers vs. LA Angels 8/5-8/7

[ESPN Refugee]

Glad to see Murphy back at LF vs RF.

I don't even care about the strikeouts tonight, just don't let another batter cross home plate and we'll be good.

The same with Weaver

I always thought Weaver was smoke and mirrors and pitching in a pitchers park, never really thought of him as an ace, just a good pitch with a deceptive delivery

 

[RevSader]

Thanks for the single, Engel.

 

[jta4437]

I call garbage on that. He paints the black...the dude has 4 games this year with 14Ks and no walks. Do your damn job behind the plate and call it the same regardless of who is pitching.

I agree, that 1st pitch to Beltre has been called a ball repeatedly vs Darvish

 

[Nathan Ahle/Triple 7]

Sorry but if you're truly an ace, that's unforgivable

HRs have been his bugaboo this year, no arguing that

And that Bronx start was only 7 starts ago, and he gave up multiple in the game before as well

I thought that you just said that pitchers can't be perfect all the time. Have HRs been a problem? Of course- there is no denying that. Do aces have to be perfect or not?

 

[bradw516]

Thanks for the single, Engel.

And then he gives it away, sigh.

 

[dammittman]

Yet another batter lost on the pads. Terrible.

 

[ESPN Refugee]

Ugh I hate when they do that.

 

[Nathan Ahle/Triple 7]

Gosh darn it Beltre! C'mon man we needed a baserunner!

 

[RevSader]

Hey. how can I further look like a moron? Have someone bunt for no damn reason...

 

[darrylgann]

Thought Weaver was going to win the CY last year.

 

[RevSader]

Yelling at beltre for doing what Wash told him to do is stupid.

 

[jta4437]

Never said aces have to be perfect, but making the same mistake 3 times in 4 batters is just over the top

The Kalhoun HR is an example of an ace not being perfect, making the same pitch to Trout beyond stupid, and then again to Trumbo

If you can't figure out what I'm getting at from what I've said, you're hopeless

 

[Nathan Ahle/Triple 7]

Yu's gonna have to cut down on the walks to consistently get the ace zone.

Well the walk ratio has certainly improved over last year. I haven't seen walks hurting Yu too much this year (at least compared to the HR)

 

[dammittman]

If Martin gets caught stealing, I'm gonna smash my tv.

 

[bradw516]

Yelling at beltre for doing what Wash told him to do is stupid.

Agreed, but he can't just stop running halfway through, he might've beaten it out or a bad throw to second.

 

[Sexy]

Martin makes stealing look so easy.

 

[DT LUNA]

If Martin gets caught stealing, I'm gonna smash my tv.

Relax now.

 

[jta4437]

Agreed, but he can't just stop running halfway through, he might've beaten it out or a bad throw to second.

But getting caught originally wasn't his fault
