Wrong Comp... Johnny Damon
  1. REYMOND FUENTES, OF, CALLEGO HS, MANATI, P.R.
    A relative of Mets center fielder Carlos Beltran, Fuentes is an electric, game-changing player. The 6-foot, 160-pound center fielder is slender, but has wiry strength and can put a change in a ball during batting practice. Like a ticking clock, he hits line drives from foul pole to foul pole with his lefthanded swing. He’s also an elite runner, clocking in at just under 6.3 seconds in the 60-yard dash at Puerto Rico’s annual Excellence Tournament in early May. In game situations, Fuentes stays within himself, goes with a contact-oriented approach and lets his plus speed play to his advantage. These tools make Fuentes an ideal leadoff hitter. Defensively, Fuentes’ range will allow him to stay in center field as a professional. Right down to his below-average arm, he’s a similar player to the Yankees’ Johnny Damon.

Not a single fucking strike in that entire AB,

and Davis still strikes out.

Something’s not right with that boy.

Davis has such a reputation for swinging at junk

that I’m convinced if he just went up without moving the bat off his shoulder, he’d walk.

Nah...

…then they’d just throw the 85 mph strike over the heart of the plate that he can’t catch up with.

Nothing wrong with the call.

I disagree

He’s put some solid bunts down this season. He’s no Omar, but he lacks the history to back up your argument.

Which is why he's the only Ranger with more than 2 sac bunts, I suppose

Crazy inning

At least we’re back in the game. A little luck and a little patience makes it happen. That squeeze call certainly shows the faith in Andrus.

Squeeze call failed

Elvis missed the bunt and Byrd got caught running back to third…arguably.

squeeze bunt attempt

outside pitch, elvis missed. he should have made contact though.. i mean you are bunting come on.

byrd almost made it back to third but possibly barely got tagged.

the preceding post was a great success.

by DShep on Jun 8, 2009 9:02 PM CDT up reply actions  

Yep.

Tough pitch to put in play but you have to just make contact. Cardinal rule of that play. Throw your bat if you have to.

by Texas_Dawg on Jun 8, 2009 9:03 PM CDT up reply actions  

Suicide squeeze.

Pitch was up and out but Andrus gave it a weak effort on the bunt and whiffed. Byrd appeared to have gotten back to 3rd, but the ump said Barajas made the tag in time.
