Rangers 2012

[GTBrian23]

Young and Napoli are getting there, Young moreso than Napoli. Hamilton and Cruz are the two that really need to get it going; those two click and this team is just completely different.

Hamilton looked like he was atleast attempting to watch bad pitches last night. Had a double after a nice atbat, and then was able to execute on a sac fly. Two things he hasnt really been to do recently. Nellie keeps showing flashes and then reverts back, when he swings it looks like he is trying to take everything out of the park. He was the only starter without a hit last night, but he still pulled 2 walks.

I agree Young looks a lot closer to pulling out of it than Napoli. Nap might have 3 HR's in 3 games, but he also has had quite a few terrible atbats in his last 2 games.

I think if Moreland comes back, you will see Young more effective as the true DH like he was last year. I think if he can focus on that, it will help him at the plate.

It would be nice to see Moreland get a shot to be the everyday 1B when he gets back. And I dont know what Gentry has to do to get the CF position. The announcers last night said that Gentry hasnt had more than 50 AB's in one month yet while the starters are averaging over 100. Just thought that was kinda crazy considering how hot he has been.

Gentry needs to be starting, as far as I'm concerned. Murphy is my guy, but Gentry in CF and Hamilton in LF makes way more sense, regardless of who is pitching.

Murphy has been lost in the shuffle. I actually haven't seen him play in a while.

He's been playing almost every day.

[mstng86]

He's been playing almost every day.

I must be missing him every time he is up. LOL I have missed alot of games the last few weeks too.

Yeah, totally agree. I guess you could look at it as being a good problem to have. Murphy is probably a starter on quite a few teams, as well as Gentry.

Colby Lewis out for the season with a forearm ligament tear. Time for some of you fuckers to get over your Cliff Lee hatred.

I personally don't have anything against Cliff either.

I don't hate the douche, I just wish he weren't such a douche and/or had signed with Texas.

lol

Which brings me to a couple of questions:

1. How much are the Phillies going to want for Lee?
2. How much do we give up for Lee, or any of the aforementioned arms?

I'm actually hoping the Phillies deal Lee. There are several issues we can address with $25mill off the books next season.
I'm hoping the Rangers give up Olt, and someone with a decent bat.
Amaro isn't smart enough to pull off a trade that really makes sense in the long run.

Maddux might be pitching instead of coaching. Damn. The bats better wake up. They're going to need 10 runs a game until some of those guys heal up.

[Slowhand]

Oh, look! The dumbest motherfucker on the basepath got picked off, and then he got ejected.

[Nash B.]

Well, that could've been messy.

Kinsler?

[Slowhand]

Well, that could've been messy.

You're not kidding. Aviles gifted him a way out of there.

Kinsler?

The one and only.

LMAO, did you see the look that broad gave Jim Knox when he said "Good day, mate"?
