It's amazing that something kids in tee ball know not to do put a professional out for 2 months.  Why in the world would anyone ever slide head first into first base?  It's not like Hamilton is a rookie trying to prove himself either.  There are no words.

Hamilton used to do this in TX also so it's nothing new. As a youth baseball coach in TX for the past couple years I have used Hamilton as an example to my kids of what NOT to do when running to first base. Now I can tell them not only does it not get you there faster, but you will injure yourself as well. 

Feliz will join the team September 1st and work out of the bullpen. His MiL rehab assignments have gone very well.

Look at he Rangers record vs the West. 44-16. That's insane...........

Yu just became the third RHP to ever have 5 games of 14+ K's in a season in the division play era. The others? Nolan andPedro

For the money, Yu still >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Pujols. 

+1000%

F Yu, we got Pujols.........cough cough.....

Lets not forget the litter box they call a stadium he's been playing in. Eckstein coulda hit 25 bombs in that place.

Um nice try:

this year:

Home .329 BA, 12 HR, 32 RBI

Away: .311/13/38

Those two HR's this past series sure weren't in "that litter box"

Eighth of a Billion dollars doesn't get you what it used to.

.216/9HR/20RBI/65K's thru 64 games

sheeeeeesh

Can you imagine how many home runs Miguel Cabrera would hit if he played half of his games in Texas?

 

Damn.

can you imagine if the Rangers didnt play there? They currently have the best home ERA in the American League and they have the best road record in MLB.

Becasue the front office cant think for themselves. They see any former Ranger and think "hey we need to get them becasue they must be good because he played for the Rangers". So now we have Wilson, Hamilton and Lowe..........good times 

Remember that Hamilton was all Arte Moreno's doing.  I don't think we can blaim Dipoto for this one.  I still think he is one of our best GM's so far!  It's been the same story.  Great hitting, no pitching, Great pitching, no hitting.  Great hitting, No Bullpen!  Great Bullpen, No hitting!

95% of this board was on board with the Hamilton signing.......Just saying.

Yep, the Giants, Rangers, A'ths, and O's all have emerged NOT by spending like drunken sailors, but by a balance of player development, scouting, and strategic trades/FA signings.

agreed. Just saw a stat. The current Rangers starting 5 have never pitched for another MLB team.
