and posting from Texas?

Something wrong with that?

let me guess, rangers fan?

Nope, born and raised right here in SoCal

Dude has a weakness that pitchers are exposing and until he stops giving that to him, he'll likely continue to be abused.

It doesn't matter how many times you say this., most people will blame God or PED's for Hamiltons struggles, because both are easy targets.

Josh was exposed last season as a sham, which is why the Rangers didn't make a serious effort to bring him back.

That was an incredibly annoying video to watch.  Not only because of the music they used, but to see how many pitches in a good hitting zone he used to get.   

He either saw a LOT of mistakes, or pitchers eventualy finally wised up and decided there was no need to throw him a strike, ever

The question is.. what does he do with mistakes now?   Pops them up?

Major league 4

The name Texas Rangers is an institution in the state outside of the baseball Team, right up there with the phrase "remember the alamo"

And for me, I still call them the California Angel, and will until I die

he has his Season ticket money, so the only thing that is hurting is the walk up sales, parking, and concessions

and you know the season ticket policy...

I'd be shocked if it was that many.   How sad

How many of you showed up for that abortion of a game last night?    I rolled my eyes when they announced attendance at 30K.   Looked more like 9K at the most.

I wish they would give two numbers, the tickets sold vs turnstyle.   Arte must still be pretty happy getting the gate from 30K for a Monday night game against the Lastros.

I guess his off season plan to get us excited enough to buy season tickets worked.   He's not that bad a businessman after all...

Sorry, that money is earmarked for Nelson Cruz

I was going to suggest a psychiatrist  

He'll still get some homers just because in a non pressure situation, some pitchers will still throw him stuff that touches the strike zone rather than risk walking him.    

In critical situations, he'll never see a strike (at least not on purpose)

I've been watching baseball since 1981, I've never seen anybody with such an obvious "book"

How bout we trade Pojols to the Cardinals for Michael Wacha?   think they would go for that?

Hate to see that, but the guy is 40.  He was on borrowed time for a pro ball player

Two more words

Hopelessly Ignorant

Trade Trumbo, and replace him in the off season by signing Nelson Cruz to a 8 year, 200 million $$$ contract.    It will help us and hurt the Rangers at the same time

yeah, that's a foolproof plan,,,  

Sure makes you understand why no other team in the league made any more than a token offer to this guy.    We bid against ourselves (again) and got burned (again)

What is it about the Angels that makes them sign players that nobody else wants?   

he may not even be the best pitcher on the Rangers.   Holland seems to have his head screwed on straight this year

Wut? Seriously?

Who?

He's better than Mark Lowe

I don't think Lowe is going to see many big league hitters anytime soon

The only thing comparable to it is GMJ's catch.

TEXAS!!!!  

That performance by Pujols in the WS may go down as the most expensive three-home-run game in baseball history.

 

That game skyrocketed his already high FA stock.

Texas screwing us again

That's why Albert will NEVER walk away from his contract.  He'll always take the position that he's always a little rest, one more surgery, or one DL stint away from regaining the glory days.

You're going to hear that for 8 1/2 more seasons
