Beat me to it.

Interesting that Kinsler is basically the man RE: baserunning, and Texas’ smart-aggressive baserunning pays dividends.

Is this a Wash thing?

Or more attributable to Walbeck?

Walbeck? Kinsler attributed alot of his success to Pettis.

Cool. Hadn't heard that.

Like Rodney said, I would think that a lot of it still has to go to Washington and his sunflower seeds.

Keens!!!

Also, some of this has to go to Worsh, doesn’t it? I seem to remember that being one of his memes.

Um, don't you know better than to give Wash any credit on this board?

Lonestar Jesus and his posse of Wash hating jungle-hopping monkey-hookers are gonna be all over you for that one, brother.

I hate Michael Young.

Texas 3rd?

Hmm, it’ll be interesting to see how good they are with Hamilton settling in on the basepaths. From T. R.’s story this morning:

“Base running is a big key for me, something I want to work on this spring,” Hamilton said.

Think of how nice the #'s would look if we didn't have that stretch

where Marlon Byrd ran through the stop signs in at least 2-3 situations.

I wonder

how Ian’s numbers will be affected, if at all, with the eventual addition of Andrus to the line-up. I would hope it would decrease the reliance on guys such as Hammy..assuming (hoping) Andrus OBP is actually decent….
