Hi Guys, (DT, hope everything is well with your family). I watched the pregame show, it was a Blue Jay's SportsHoopla. Hardly mentioned the Rangers, lol. Fielder hit into another double-play, he is frustrating of late.
Fucking knew Prince was gonna do that shit.
I'd rather have Moreland playing and Prince on the bench.
I'm at work -- So i have Nadel.
Yep. The way you beat an ace is to get to him early before he settles into a groove. Very, very rarely do aces get worse as the game goes on. They tend to settle in, find their groove, and then dominate. Look at Keuchel vs. us. Look at Hamels vs. LAA. Price today. 1st and 2nd innings are so huge against ace pitchers.And this is why you don't let him off the fucking hook in the first fucking inning, Prince.

And Prince just failed his whole team miserably. Since he's the DH with no speed, if he's not driving in runs, he's worthless to this team. He's become a total rally killer. He's become EXACTLY the hitter that Detroit fans described when he left them- nothing but K's and weak ground ball double plays.
We need power Prince or at least opposite field single Prince to return.
DET people were frustrated with him in the playoffs... and given his play of late, I'm not expecting much from him. Its not even solid contact these days....
I'd feel better if it was solid contact & getting outs....but its weak contact.
