Texas stops skid against Toronto - I hope

[Bmurph]

You guys are sounding like my now deceased dad. Bitching about the guys hair-cut. Really? Com'on fellas, it's 2015. Haven't we passed this point in our collective reality?

Gallardo has an arrowhead coming out the back of his hat, and a God-Awful looking goatee. And I'm delighted with him.

Really Don? Im giving an opposing player a rash of shit on a message board, I don't think I am out of line one bit. Lighten up man, we are having fun here!

Mine always used to bitch about low and loose pant cuffs. Of course, he thought every player should be outfitted in stirrup socks, so he was a bit biased.

Sad and accurate.....But amusing too.

You were asking about what are we gonna do with Choo earlier. I honestly don't know.

But I swear, I wondering if this team isn't going to just give up on Martin and soon.

Martin has played himself into a fourth OF and defensive replacement. As far as Choo, with the talent we have potentially arriving at the ML level soon, at some point were just gonna have to cut our losses.

These over shifts are fucking bull shit.

Why? Both teams do it.

So 7 guys on defense can't aline themselves to prevent the hitter from doing exactly this?

Why can't the hitter train/discipline himself to hit the ball all over the field instead of just being a strictly pull hitter?

Sorry.....I've got no problem with the over-shift.

 

[romeo212000]

And that's ballgame.

Maybe we'll have to pull what the Angels did with Hamilton and basically give him away.

dang it. Come on Chi Chi. I know this lineup can be intimidating ... Oh well.

Because ever advantage is given to the pitcher and defense enough as it is. Even the best hitters are already on the wrong end of averages from the moment they step to the plate. It's bull shit that a hitter smokes a pitch right back up the middle and it's taken away by some gimmick.

Yeah you asked earlier what to do with Choo, and I think its just, we pay him to not play much or eat most of that contract to rid ourselves of him. He is just a hinderance at this point

We had our opportunities in the first two innings and have ZERO to show for it.

Chi-Chi, you do need more time in the minors, and that's not the end of the world; for you or us.

EG on the outfield situation. The Martin paragraph is telling.

Yep. That does look like the case. Had a great beginning.

Sunk costs en sech.

Martin will be a FA after this season.

It seems to me he's strictly a CF, and his speed/arm are by far are his biggest assets. Late inning defensive replacement, pinch runner, etc kind of player.

So what do the Rangers do with him? Honestly, I don't see him on this team next season.

Keep him on, and offer him a 4th OF type contract.

@StevensonFWST: #Rangers LHP Martin Perez will throw another rehab start for Triple A Round Rock in Iowa on Thursday.

Prince going the other way is sure nice, wish all our hitters could do that to a degree. I know they all cant do that as well though

You're the one who needs to lighten up hoss.

I'm all for giving opposing players grief. Pretty good at it myself.

But if you're biggest complaint is his hair-style, then you don't really have one IMO.

Didn't at realize I was raining so hard on the "fun-parade" here.

Bet he gets the call up after that one if all goes well.

Can he play the corner spots? His speed and arm are really impressive. But I don't remember him getting time at the corners. Has he done so over the past two seasons?

Unfortunately, that's about it for the superlatives and Leo it seems.
