lol, don't see that much with high popups in the infield

[Andy]

LOL what the [expletive] Marte

[Hairyducked Idiot]

Hahahahahaha.

[Sammy Sofa]

Hooray for Valbuena.

 

So what the [expletive] was up with Olt? Did he ever actually have a good stretch or did he just effectively luck into some home runs off of some juicy pitches? I tire of him and wish to see him cast into the sea.

he literally can only hit fastballs and now after hitting a few for HRs, he sees (relatively) none

 

Even when he was "good" he wasn't hitting much in terms of LD's; what a sad bust.

[Hairyducked Idiot]

Pittsburgh broadcast you could hear a fan yell "Lazy f@#$! piece of s#@" clear as day.

he's more like a bizarro bust or something. we were expecting him to be awful and hoping he might be OK. don't think you can really count it as a bust when he turns out to be awful (unless you mean his career in general, of course)

Yes, definitely more of a bust for the Rangers.

[Gilby]

Harrison just quickly checked to see if Whiteside was okay after hitting him with the back-swing. That is normal human behavior.

We wanted to believe, so the moment he showed signs of life, we did.

[sneakypower]

damn, Josh Harrison's actually sort of good these days: .290/.325/.476

 

yup, that'd play in our OF/2B

[Guest]

If Rizzo doesn't suck today I will officially reverse my stance and never call him tinyface again.

 

well, i guess that's settled

[Guest]

Look, I can't keep hating this guy is Facebook is going to insist on showing him visiting sick kids. HE HAS TO DO THIS.

 

 

 

 

I MEAN HE'S PLAYING [expletive] CONNECT FOUR

Fun little anecdote about Starlin from north

 

Starlin is now swinging at fewer pitches than the average MLB hitter, swinging at fewer pitches outside the zone than the average MLB hitter, making above average contact, and taking first pitches for balls 8% more.

 

If anyone calls Castro a "hacker" or "over-aggressive" again, I will just start to laugh about it.

I jinxed him damnit

League average BB rate: 8.1%

Castro: 5.4%

[sneakypower]

he was over-aggressive on that play, and looked like a real hacker - zero cool

[Sammys Boombox]

So, we were almost guaranteed another Rizzo AB with someone on base, but NO...

[Careless]

What a twit.

[Guest]

[Guest]

just go ahead and take him the [expletive] out now plz
