i mean andro, my bad

Manager Ron Washington said the Rangers are still to feel not having Josh Hamilton in the lineup. With Michael Young and Ian Kinsler both hitting again, the Rangers are going to use the combo of Elvis Andrus and David Murphy in the No. 2 spot until Hamilton returns. Andrus is batting second tonight.

by blueballlefty on Jun 19, 2009 9:08 PM CDT up reply actions  

The only way Scott Feldman will be involved in hitting a three-run double is if he throws himself up to home plate and goes cartwheeeling down the right field line.

Sorry, but I hate seeing pitchers hit.

Of course, we probably might not really notice since we’re used to having Davis in the lineup.

Hall of Fame pitcher Nolan Ryan was on the same pitching staff with Danny Darwin during the 1986 through 1988 seasons. Both were described by Milo Hamilton as "tall, tough Texans." It was a source of debate amongst Astros players and fans over who would win in a fight, Ryan or Darwin. Though Astros pitcher Bob Knepper attempted to set up a fight between the two during spring training in 1988, manager Hal Lanier stopped it before it could commence. Many experts, including Astros shortstop Rafael Ramirez, felt that Darwin would win because he "looked like someone no man would want to mess with."

The pitching and hitting could be great and suck concurrently.

Then the Rangers would have a bunch of great winning streaks followed by horrible losing streaks.

adorable

Hall of Fame pitcher Nolan Ryan was on the same pitching staff with Danny Darwin during the 1986 through 1988 seasons. Both were described by Milo Hamilton as "tall, tough Texans." It was a source of debate amongst Astros players and fans over who would win in a fight, Ryan or Darwin. Though Astros pitcher Bob Knepper attempted to set up a fight between the two during spring training in 1988, manager Hal Lanier stopped it before it could commence. Many experts, including Astros shortstop Rafael Ramirez, felt that Darwin would win because he "looked like someone no man would want to mess with."

its just a failure of knowing who to do what

if elvis thought that he was staying back, then he stays in place

My is charging its on elvis

unfortunatly we may never know

Scout: He was a first-round pick right? Got a huge bonus?
KG: Oh yeah.
Scout: Well, he spent a lot of it on milkshakes.

seriously

unless you are crashing both corners and giving up 2nd base by having your middle infielders cover 1st and 3rd, the pitcher is always responsible for one of the lines. You teach that in fucking little league

Jesus Tap Dancing Christ.

There was no runner on first, so no need to cover second. The runner on second would be advancing to third. You can’t count on a pitcher that falls off the mound to the left to change directions, field a bunt up the 3rd base line, change directions again, and hope to get an out there. Elvis should have been moving to cover third. You teach that in fucking little league—unless you want to concede hits on sac bunts.

by Athos on Jun 19, 2009 10:11 PM CDT up reply actions  

exactly my point

Feldman has the 3rd base line, 1B charges. Kinsler covers first. Elvis covers 2nd. Plus, again, I don’t think Randy Johnson would have been busting it down the line. If you really don’t know that, they have idiot’s guide to baseball at half price books…

MY's first resonsibility was to cover 3B

once the ball is actually bunted he can then charge and field the ball

not necessarily

if feldman is covering 1b line
and FOTF is covering 3b line

its elvis who should be at 3b
