Good job Holland. Odor pull your head out of your butt.

The system isn't being utilized properly. If it's used right, then it's a wonderful & useful tool.

That call right there was a no-brainer though and it cost us a run, which we just flat can't afford.
Something tells me Wilson does not get a hit is Andrus is safe.

Yeah, but even so our chances are better against them than against King Felix.
True. And if this is any other team they would have scored some runs against Hernandez. I see nothing special there. But this is the Rangers and they are making everybody look really good right now.

Fielder should have done what Seager did last night and bunt it down the 3rd base line.

Has Odor just forgotten how to turn a double play? That's the second easy double play ball he's booted within the last week.

last night I think and today

Fielder is in a funk, though he had the only hit last night. He needs a mental break, too bad we are in a pennant race and he will never get it

Truth be told, he's an avg 2nd baseman right now. And it's a shame b/c he's got terrific speed, thus range, good arm, and yet he doesn't field the ball cleanly near enough to take advantage of his natural abilities IMO.

I agree. Time to give someone else a chance at DH. Josh or Gallo? Something different.

Several of us on here yesterday/day before made the observation Prince needs to sit down for a game, if not two.

Having replay is stupid if they are still going to get the GD call wrong. Get rid of replay, as stands it is fucking horseshit!
When the NFL first had replay I thought they got it wrong on purpose a lot of times just so the owners would get rid of it. I wonder if they are doing that in baseball.

We should sit Fielder instead of Moreland when we sit one of them out but for some reason Banister doesn't.

I said it last night and I'll say it again- Banister needs to park Fielder's fat ass on the bench for a while to send him a message. You can't ground into a double play there. You just can't. Very rarely does he ever drive the ball anymore. I can't take anymore weak ground balls.

I might be alone here, but I hate it when Beltre takes his battles with King Felix above the game itself. Not sure I've ever seen any other two take it to the level they do. Fun or not, it's annoying

Absolutely agree 100%. Mitch isn't perfect, but at least he is hitting the ball hard. Fielder is a detriment to this team right now. He kills rallies almost every time up.

Crazy. Not sure what took Odor so long to make the throw to 1st.

Agree with you all the way.
