GDT 6/22 Rangers @ Angels (no HK)

[Jason]

The 4 runs are not comfortable

[stormngt]

Last year's leading the team in hitting until his injury. That doesn't count either? And yes in major leagues many players stick because of their defense. See McDonald. And many scouts discount numbers when there is sporadic playing time because timing is so important. So out of the two years in which PB played every day he hit major league pitching. Finally you original quote was good thing we fave up a shitty player for Freese. What is Freese WAR....v. PB WAR

Dude..too be a successful major leaguer you better be a good player on both sides of the ball...if your argument is that he was a premium defender..Jeff Mathis says hello..where is he now? and review your notes on that PB was better than one year..he's not.

[stormngt]

I agree at least let him start. Either that or Smith

Santiago MUST finish the ninth.

[Redondo]

Right at SS

[Dreams]

The logical thing to do would be to leave Hector Santiago in to finish the game.  Of course it won't be done.  Sosh just loves his match ups.

[Redondo]

Conger legs that one out. Good job

[Slegnaac]

Conger needs to get the majority of the starts

[Redondo]

Here they come

 

Who will it be?

[Redondo]

Anxiety is driving me nuts

Good defensive players don't necessarily stick around if they can't hit but ELITE defenders do, like your McDonald example. I would agree that PB is elite and his bat has shown flashes. 

[Redondo]

If I see this Nissan commercial again, ugh

[jshep]

Joe Smith time!

[Redondo]

And Smith it is

[Dreams]

I thought Smith had a bad back 

[Redondo]

Get it done Joe

[Redondo]

I thought Smith had a bad back 

 

 I guess that was last night

[bloodbrother]

Joe Smith time!

 

Watch him suck and frieri comes in for a one out save

 

then we start from scratch again with who closes and who doesn't

[Redondo]

Kruk says Frieri has an electric fastball.

 

Has he watched him lately?

[bloodbrother]

3 pitches and a K

 

uh, Smith, you are supposed to fall behind in the count to a batter

[Lou]

I thought Smith had a bad back 

 

So did Trout

[BleedRed]

Two more Joe!

[tdawg87]

Wait, the leadoff batter didn't get on? WTF?

[Redondo]

You are ruining my confidence. It's already  shaky.

[Redondo]

Wait, the leadoff batter didn't get on? WTF?

 

We are all in shock

[Dreams]

 I guess that was last night

Healed miraculously! Its a miracle!  Praise Trout, Hallelujah!
