Texas vs Stanton (his homers are the only reason to watch)

[DT LUNA]

What is Martin doing on the basepaths? Should have been picked off 1st now picked off at 3rd.

Lack of good coaching. Been a problem with this team to long.

 

[saddles]

Thank goodness. I have high hopes for him next season.

Font has been a huge disappointment, so whatever we get from him is OK I guess.

Maybe the bone spur had a lot to do with him being a disappointment as of late. I am not sure how long he has had it.

 

[WastinSomeTime]

Lucky us, huh?

I don't hate the guy. I'm just ready for him to be gone. Don't see how he fits any future needs regardless if it's 2015/16.

I agree 100%. He actually did very well for us down the stretch last year. But I too am ready for him to move on.

True. Odor failed miserably there as well.

Bet it did at least some anyway

I wanted Cruz to stay here. Our OF arm strength has been reduced greatly during this past year.

I did too. But I understood why he didn't take the offer from us.

But I think we are in dire need of a COF with power and arm.

He's disappointed for 3 years now.

Fixing to have to bail for a while. Leave good puppy tracks.

Good to see both Miles and the two Nicks doing better of late.

Murphy had a bad year at the plate but he had a good arm and Gentry had a really good arm and Cruz with his shotgun arm. Choice seems to have an average arm and Adduci and Choo noodle to below average. Now we have Robertson and his noodle arm. We really went backwards. So you are right about that need.

Hope you get to feeling better DT.

He's disappointed for 3 years now.

Last year he had an ERA of 1.04 and a WHIP of 1.07. That isn't really disappointing. The year before he had some disappointing numbers, but he was coming off Tommy John surgery.

It is. Now if Miles and Martinez can also go 7. I thought Miami missed a lot of fat pitches from Miles last night but the results turned out well.

I would like to eventually have 2 COF with power.

 

[WastinSomeTime]

Good eye Choo. Put good wood on his hit the AB before. Good to see.

Wouldn't that be nice. We had that in 2010-2011.

 

[WastinSomeTime]

First time for me to see Edwards pitch.

True. Deeper would be great. At least I can stop cringing when their spot is up in the rotation.

 

[WastinSomeTime]

What a play by Beltre!

 

[darrylgann]

Yep. Beltre!
