Do you remember
Corey Feldman’s awkward, “Dangerous” era Michael Jackson fashion phase? It made a lot of people very uncomfortable.

How do you reward a guy who

True
But career (only 139 PA, still small sample size issue) he’s at .600 OPS. Laird’s in 316 PA is at .816. We need all the help we can get against C. Lee.

Lineup
Ian Kinsler, 2B
Michael Young, SS
Josh Hamilton, CF
Milton Bradley, DH
David Murphy, LF
Gerald Laird, C
Marlon Byrd, RF
Chris Shelton, 1B
German Duran, 3B
What happen to the catcher 2 game rotation? Also, I would rather have Boggs in the line up than Murphy against a tough lefty. Is Murphy going to ever get a day off?

Bummer
I just saw the end of that game. The Angels offense really seems to suck, I hardly ever see them scoring more and 2-4 runs a game lately.
Unfortunately, their pitching has been lights out this year, with guys like Saunders and Ervin Santana overperforming.

CLE announcers said
Bradley pointed at the scoreboard and told the ump, “Look at my numbers! I don’t swing at pitches like that; that’s not a strike!” before he got tossed.

Still two errors
but since the lead off was a double, even if Kisnler would have fielded it and got an out, the runner at second base moves to third, and would have scored during the inning anyway making it an earned run. The runs that score from this point forward if there are any will result in unearned runs because there would be three outs without the error. So only one run will be earned whatever happens now.

Bradley
should have teams drooling at trade dead line time. I am torn about him though. If he could stay healthy, I wouldn’t mind re-signing him for 2-3 years. He brings some fire and swagger to this team, not to mention a pretty good OPS.

what i like most about milton
is that his obp doesnt come from taking pitches like a dellucci (no offense looch, you rule), wilkerson, etc….
it comes from not swinging at bad pitches. not really patience, just an actually good eye.

Part of the sell to these players that they sign these one year contracts to is that: 1)They are definitely going to play for a contender this year be it by a trade in the summer to a contending team or be it by the Rangers if they so happen to be in the mix and 2)If they have to trade the player in the summer due to not being in contention themselves, they are definitely interested in them re-signing with them the following year if things go right.

I’m not a big believer in Marlon’s bat, but I sure do love his defense in the OF, how he hustles on every ball he hits, and just his overall attitude.

It's not the speed...
it’s the location. He struggles with the up and away stuff. Just stands off the plate so far it’s tough for him to reach that pitch.

Because...
It hasn’t been brought up to him. Catching up to an 88 MPH fastball hasn’t been brought up to him, so it hasn’t been brought up.
If something happens down the road and the team his better served by him catching up to an 88 MPH fastball, there will be dscussions. But the time is not now, and he doesn’t see it in the near future.
