Rangers vs. Rays ALDS

[Mike]

Rodriguez has both of the Rays runs today.


*edit* make that all three of their runs.

That is what Feliz does every appearance. One guy always gets on.

[CJ]

We did not want a walk at this time in the game..

[Mike]

I've seen Young lay out across the foul line, jump up and throw the batter out at first, this season. I just don't buy the "Young's a defensive liability, Beltre is a huge improvement" line.

Your opinion doesn't count. You've probably watched more Rangers games than anyone in here.

[Nash B.]

I see him go for some balls that are way out of Youngs range, but it is possible that is because that really isn't Youngs natural position.

3 outs then hello mutha fudgin win column

[mstng86]

Eh, maybe, I honestly just don't see it. Statistically they're very close, and I don't see him making a ton of plays that Young isn't making.

didn't we rough up Wade Davis last year?

[Nash B.]

He is light years ahead of Young at 3rd. You are showing your Michael Young bias.

Ogando took care of that like a boss

[unkoricky]

Not according to the numbers, chachi.

I don't give a flip about the numbers. He gets to balls that Young can't even dream about touching.


FYI, that statement is also true in a comparison of Geor to Elvis.

[pHILSANITY07]

Im just glad it all has worked out, that Young and Beltre are both here and I think we are better this year in the batting lineup and in fielding than last year.

[Mike]

Maybe in overall fielding. But at 3rd, Beltre is better.

[mstng86]

Doesn't Young have like 15-20% better fielding percentage than Beltre, and less errors?

I'm gonna google that up.
