our defense sucks

but not as bad as our offense

the truth.

by Longhorn on Apr 11, 2008 9:21 PM CDT   0 recs

Also, Ian Kinsler should have busted his ass

and got over to cover 1st. But, of course he's worse than Soriano when it comes to smarts.

the truth.

Kaz Fukumori

He's kind of a ball-sucker.

Yeah

Him too. Forgot about him.

Fukumori needs to be sent to AAA for Littleton, and once Scott Feldman makes his start, you can bring up Frankie.

An encouraging thought

I dont know how long we can hover around .500

But if we can stay around .500 with this bad of a team, it bodes well for the future when we can replace most of these DFA scrubs

after cat and byrd

the two guys killing the offense are Young and Hamilton, not exactly DFA scrubs

Awesome

They executed that play well.

It seems like they never have been able to get that right.

he should have been standing at second... it's not the first time he's lollygagged his way down to first.

Good job Eckstein

What a play by Eckstein.

I agree with you on that Adam, Bradley needs to learn to run it out all the time. Maybe we can combine Bradley and Byrd to get one great COF.

by Gdawg1 on Apr 11, 2008 9:39 PM CDT   0 recs

That ball

would have been caught 96 percent of the time...

You expect him to fully run that out?

Because I don't blame him for expecting that to be caught.

Yes.

That's the crap people were killing Soriano for when he was here.

for crying out loud

he shouldnt even be playing, he tore his ACL in september

his leg has been fine

in many other games this season. He's run at full speed without any issues. The tore ACL should not be a reason for him not running at least near full speed.

miles, you fully run it out for the 4% of the time it isn't caught.

by Gdawg1 on Apr 11, 2008 9:43 PM CDT to parent up   0 recs

ive torn my acl

its not something he has in any way fully recovered from

fully recovered enough

to be able to get a triple in ST, to be able to try and steal a base earlier in the season, and been looking fine while running in the field or any time he gets a hit.

by Gdawg1 on Apr 11, 2008 9:46 PM CDT to parent up   0 recs

he's still hurting

trust me. his muscle strength is like 80% tops

So...

He can still be hurt, but its no excuse to not still run on each play instead of just doing a little jog.

by Gdawg1 on Apr 11, 2008 9:49 PM CDT to parent up   0 recs

Running on that play

It's not like he needed to run full speed to get to 2nd. It's also the responsibility of the 1st base coach to get him moving.

Better to be judged by 12 than carried by 6.

by DaheelzCM on Apr 11, 2008 9:52 PM CDT to parent up   0 recs

Not Milton,

he does what he wants when he wants.

But seriously, most players wouldn't have run that out.

I guarantee you

Hamilton runs that one out full speed like he did to beat out a sure thing double play. Byrd runs out routine grounders every time he gets your average groundout to the MI. I've never seen Kinsler, Young, Blalock, Laird, or Murphy at least not running near full speed on any play. Bradley does a little jog each time.

by Gdawg1 on Apr 11, 2008 9:48 PM CDT to parent up   0 recs

Would Soriano? :)
