yeah, after the MY hit, it would be 6-5 with runners on 1st and 3rd if Elvis can get the bunt down
of course, you have no idea if things would have played out the same way, but I assume it always does....what other proof do I have....
that fucking motherfucker.
3 pitch strikeout.
Nice at-bat by Hamilton...good morning, good afternoon, good night..smart way to pitch to Josh...
Please for the love....Vlad, can you be clutch once this year?
i didn't even have time to type out "I bet he strikes out" before he struck out. On 3 goddamn pitches.
that's how you do it Hamilton. you fucking cunt.
2000-2006 Vlad would have hit that meat right down the middle 700 feet, but Ill take the 2-1, 2 run single to tie the game ....
I told you this reverse jinx is working tonight
lets please not take this to 2-4 record on the year.....pretty please
literally, tickets were free tonight's Rangers game if you have a Star Telegram Gold Press Pass (subscribe to their newspaper). They have this same deal going on for a handful of Monday night home games throughout the year unless said game is against the Yankees/Red Sox.
Nice catch by Murphy to end the inning....2 reasons that ball was caught: they were playing very deep, no doubles defense in the outfield and Cruz was not back there...Im not sure he gets to that, esp. not with the hamstring problem
Yeah Murph got a great jump on the ball too
Had to walk away from the comp for awhile & there are a lot of things to be pissed about, but I want to go back to Taylor's 5th inning AB...
Down 6-1
Runners on 2nd & 3rd, 0 outs
2-0 count
1-the fucking season (only because our scorer felt sorry for him)
And he swings at the fucking 2-0 pitch?!?! Are you fucking serious?! Obviously he strikes out 3 pitches later, & we only score 1 run that inning thanks to a wild pitch. It was funny for awhile to make fun of him; now he's simply the worst offensive player in MLB!
You guys ever play a softball team that only has 8 or 9 guys show up? You basically just keep count of where they are in the lineup because you know the 9 and/or 10 spots are literally automatic outs. That's our lineup right now...
The early results of Feliz pitching on consecutive days are not good.
Now we get a White Sox team that has won three in a row and we have to face Buehrle, Peavy and Floyd. Peavy and Floyd have terrible ERAs, but you know how pitchers turn it around against Texas.
In the 8th inning we saw the shittyness of Josh Hamilton or the greatness of Vald G.
Hamilton up with bases juiced 1 out. First pitch slider out of the zone swinging. Second pitch slider out of the zone swinging. Third pitch foul ball and fourth pitch fastball by him for the K. Never was trying to at least score a run. That was a fucking horrible piece of shit at bat. He should have been looking for a pitch in his wheel house until he gets a strike but to swing at a low and away slider on the first pitch to let the pitcher have the 0-1 advantage is textbook pathetic baseball.
Vlad then comes up who is the biggest free swinger pretty much in MLB history. Fastball low and away he takes it. Why? Vald might swing at that in the 1st inning or something but when you are in a critical situation where a single ties the game he's going to make the pitcher earn the advantage. Pitcher throws the same pitch in the same spot and Vlad takes again.
Vlad knows how to hit based on the situation and Hamilton still has no fucking clue what he's doing up there given the situation. It's really pathetic.

That game last night sucked.
Here was the view from my seats on Friday. Smoaks ML Debut

Cruz to the DL? FML.
Craig Gentry recalled...

for a team that was hyped before the start of the year, we seem doomed from the end of spring training to do nothing this year.
we will forever be
a team built for mediocrity.
Wonder if they gave any thought to promoting Chad Tracy? He's not on the 40-man but he's absolutely terrorizing AAA to the tune of a 1.107 OPS! Vlad could have played some RF while he DH'd...
^^^ True, but have you pictured our lineup without Cruz?! Murphy, Smoak, Treanor, Blanco, Borbon 5-9 likely... Fuck!
yea, but we have garko coming off the bench. stout.
Actually Garko is supposed to start tonight vs Buehrle... So that lineup looks even better!
....Vladimir Guerrero will start in right field tonight as the Rangers shuffle to account for Nelson Cruz going on the DL with a sore hamstring. It will be Guerrero's first game in the field this season. Ryan Garko will be the designated hitter. He is 12 for 25 lifetime against Mark Buehrle. Guerrero is 8 for 25 with four homers.
Craig Gentry, the replacement for Cruz, will start in center field tonight. He hadn't arrived from Oklahoma City by the time the Rangers started to stretch before batting practice.
....SS Elvis Andrus
3B Michael Young
LF Josh Hamilton
RF Vladimir Guerrero
DH Ryan Garko
1B Justin Smoak
C Matt Treanor
2B Andres Blanco
CF Craig Gentry
law of averages. line up is due. they'll score 100 runs tonight to make it "even".
