The good news from today:
- Feldman had another great outing.
- Doug Mathis was good again.
- Salty is becoming a Milton Bradley mini-me with 3 BB – means he should break out of this slump sooner or later.
- The Murphinator is back.
- Laird is still hot.

Shelton should be one of the goats.
He bunts into an inning-ending DP, and strikesout with the bases full.

I brought up Chris Davis
earlier and I’m definitely not on board with rushing someone, but we are getting shit production from 1B all friggin’ season. They are working out MaxRam at first now in case they have to bring him up and if they feel that’s the best option, then do it soon. You’ve GOT to get plate production from your corner infielders.

the bunt goes wash
he bunted it well, what else can he do when called to bunt?
the bunt should have been pulled back after they kept the runner so close to first and had the infielders so far in.
Gerald Laird is my hero.

You can never bunt a ball "well" ...
and bunt into a double play. If you bunt a ball “well” the result is either a sacrifice or a hit. He bunted the ball straight into the charging first baseman who had more than enough time to turn the double play. That’s textbook bad bunting.

Yeah, Grieve and his "hand-puppet" said that it was a good bunt.
I agree that he should have either pulled back or taken a full swing.
Maybe another year in AAA can add some savvy.

text book bad bunting
would be popping it up, fouling it off, or outright missing.
asking him to pinpoint place it and saying its otherwise textbook bad bunting is ridiculous.
if you didnt notice there is a guy coming in to the left, to the right, and in front of him. Where do you propose he bunt it? over their heads?

on the positive side of the loss
they lost a game 3-4 that easily could have been won
with a worn out bullpen, no milton bradley, a starting pitcher who was not thought to be a starter till a couple of weeks ago, and with no blalock although he has been out for a while
the only thing that i want the rangers to do his start hitting with people in scoring position and 2 outs. Or trade a guy who can
