Texas Rangers vs. Oakland A's 8/2-8/4

[ESPN Refugee]

They love McCann here...and will likely over pay to keep him. Still, it may serve his career best to play in the AL and be able to. DH some...

True. But figuring they'll need to pay Justin Upton in a couple years and at some point Heyward should be extended I'm not sure if they'll overpay but then again I get a lot of my in-depth Braves information from one of my really good friends who bleeds Braves baseball.

The temperature is nice and cool, Holland is rolling, and buzz made a good point about keeping crisp and lowrie on the right side of home plate.

And he took em down 1-2-3.... So I'm on board!:rollseyes:

TAG just eluded to Bartolo.

To everyone who kept wanting to trade/give up on Dutch....

Ill admit I was one of those that doubted him

I'm not convinced they'll pay Upton. He's been very average except for his ridiculously hot start this year.

But whatever we do, don't give Beltre a shot. He's only hit every time you give him a chance to play.

Had McCann come back from his injury and played so-so, the Braves would have probably let him go and tried out Gattis full time. But he's been playing great...honestly the Braves would be foolish to let him go...

I'm still shocked they paid BJ Upton 75 million. Just seemed bizzare to me but maybe they saw something that I didn't.

You were one of many.

New team, lots of pressure to perform, I'd wait til next year before I made any assumptions about him

Do it again mitch.

I think we saw it more clearly. Hence him sucking ever since. I got ridiculed for calling that an awful signing. I love being right.

They'd love to get out from under that, what a major bust BJ was..on the Upton trade with Arizona, the throw in -Chris Johnson, has been the big prize, he was leading the NL in BA...

Gold Glove caliber play there by Josh Donaldson.

 

[Duane1952]

Aw to bad donaldson

He's been good but not great throughout his entire career so far aside from one year. I'm not convinced he's really that good.

 

[romeo212000]

Mitch gets beat on that high fastball a lot.

 

[Duane1952]

It's Nathan time.
