How did he get a double off that ball? Talk about akward swings.

by **peeker643** » Fri Jun 03, 2011 8:27 pm

Bad call at the plate. Ball beat him but tag was late and high.

by **Symbolic47** » Fri Jun 03, 2011 8:27 pm

Masterson getting knocked around a bit,

IfI ever meet Mike Napoli Im gonna buy him a beer.

by **RedDawg53** » Fri Jun 03, 2011 8:28 pm

Might be a pitchers duel tonight

by **Larvell Blanks** » Fri Jun 03, 2011 8:28 pm

No way they should have sent him. Chop had that ball to the cut before he rounded third. Nice to see Choo's throw right in front of us

This.

He was in easily.

I don't understand how Endy Chavez is any good this year. Guy's just not very good.

by **Cerebral_DownTime** » Fri Jun 03, 2011 8:30 pm

Good slide or shitty catching?

by **peeker643** » Fri Jun 03, 2011 8:31 pm

Cerebral_DownTime wrote:Good slide or shitty catching?

Shitty catching. Apparently his and Buster Posey's pain has influenced Carlos. Never blocked any part of plate and was lazy with the tag.

by **peeker643** » Fri Jun 03, 2011 8:33 pm

Ha! Ogando mesmerized by piece of shattered bat and got late jump.

by **Cerebral_DownTime** » Fri Jun 03, 2011 8:34 pm

lol. That ball had so much backspin.

I've never seen that.

by **peeker643** » Fri Jun 03, 2011 8:36 pm

Disappointed in crowd size tonight. Beautiful night down here, couple of the better teams in the game right now, fireworks, etc. Less than 25k for sure by my estimation.

But Beef Pepper Pot Soup on the menu!! Shit was good.

He kinda scares me. He seems to have alot of Peralta in him.

Nice timing for Guillen to give Konerko a night off. Dickhead.

No kidding. I bet that was running through his head the whole time. Hence the outcome. Cant blame him really.....that was really one of the first times theres been a legit shot of a collision this season. With his injury and Posey's so recent, I bet that exactly what happened. Oh well. It was a great call. :thumb up:

by **FortheWin** » Fri Jun 03, 2011 8:43 pm

We aren't playing our best baseball right now!!

by **FortheWin** » Fri Jun 03, 2011 8:44 pm

How close was it? I'm only listening to it on the radio, no way to watch it.

While on that topic, Brian Sabean's an absolute douche.

These comments are ridiculous:

"Why not be hard-nosed?" Sabean told the radio station. "If I never hear from Cousins again or he never plays another game in the big leagues, I think we'll all be happy."

Sabean didn't back down later in the interview; rather, he left little doubt that the Giants are planning on exacting some on-field revenge against Cousins.

"He chose to be a hero, in my mind, and if that's his flash of fame, that's as good as it's going to get, pal. We'll have a long memory," Sabean told KNBR. "Believe me, we've talked to (former catcher Mike) Matheny about how this game works. You can't be that out-and-out overly aggressive. I'll put it as politically as I can state it: There's no love lost and there shouldn't be."

I'd love to see what Sabean had to say about collisions before the Posey incident.

Ugh. This could get ugly.

I believe your thinking of Laporta :hide:

About as close as possible. Texas isnt really hitting the ball hard. Just a bunch of bloops and pot shots.

Edit- This post is in reference to the almost DP last inning. But after reading your post again I realized you were talking about the Santana play. Also Ogando is dominating us right now. Gonna have to score to beat Texas.

by **peeker643** » Fri Jun 03, 2011 8:48 pm

Clearly and easily safe to all but one guy in the park.

by **Cerebral_DownTime** » Fri Jun 03, 2011 8:50 pm

This Ogando cat has some nice stuff.

by **Symbolic47** » Fri Jun 03, 2011 8:56 pm

Speaking of Peralta.....what the hell? Hes actually good this year. After all those years of not giving a shit here, someone must have lit a fire under his ass or something. Or he just decided he wanted to get paid again. I loved him when he first came up, but grew to loathe him.

I actually was talking about the Double play ball.

by **Symbolic47** » Fri Jun 03, 2011 9:01 pm

O-cab with a nice play there to get Endy friggin Chavez out.

Bang bang. Ump got it right.

Bang-bang. I thought they got him initially but replay showed he beat it.

by **peeker643** » Fri Jun 03, 2011 9:05 pm

Symbolic47 wrote:O-cab with a nice play there to get Endy friggin Chavez out.

Yes, but O-Cab has to leave his feet way too often to get to balls. Most 2b make that play without a dive.

by **skatingtripods** » Fri Jun 03, 2011 9:05 pm

There has to be some adjustment to be made with Choo. He is rolling over so much this year. I wonder if his hands are lower or something.

by **Cerebral_DownTime** » Fri Jun 03, 2011 9:07 pm

If Choo got a nickle for every ball he beat into the ground this year, he wouldn't need to worry about a new contract.

by **bookelly** » Fri Jun 03, 2011 9:16 pm

Laporta and Uncle need to swap spots in the order. Or better yet bring up Cord.

by **skatingtripods** » Fri Jun 03, 2011 9:18 pm

Santana can't even throw guys out on pitchouts.

He's gotta go over to 1B. If only LaPorta's hip could handle LF against LHP.

I couldn't agree with you more. Not sure what to do with LaPorta when Santana takes his spot.. Take our chances in LF is the only option. And I never thought I would ever say this... Gotta bring in Marson ::doh::

One of the Rangers beat writers is playing solitaire a row below me.

And you wonder why I don't read ours?

Our beat writers are way better than theirs.

by **RedDawg53** » Fri Jun 03, 2011 9:36 pm

Nice play AsCab, nice play. Jeter would had broken his hip if he made a play like that

by **FortheWin** » Fri Jun 03, 2011 9:37 pm

Get this guy to at least 90 pitches this inning!!

Konerko was scratched with a wrist injury.

Was labeled rest on one of the sports betting Twitters I follow.

Regardless, Guillen's still a dickhead.

by **RedDawg53** » Fri Jun 03, 2011 9:39 pm

Ahhhh Chooooooo. Go get em home

by **FortheWin** » Fri Jun 03, 2011 9:40 pm

At least we got the lead cut in half!

by **statmasta** » Fri Jun 03, 2011 9:41 pm

Choo is losing tens of millions of dollars this year.

He's worse than Casey Blake was w/ RISP.

by **skatingtripods** » Fri Jun 03, 2011 9:41 pm

His swing plane is messed up. He's hacking down at the baseball. Has to be it. I can't figure out why. Completely blew up another inning though with this year's incompetence at the plate.

by **RedDawg53** » Fri Jun 03, 2011 9:41 pm

Or ground into a DP. At lease we're on the board.

by **FortheWin** » Fri Jun 03, 2011 9:42 pm

The only thing stopping Ogando from pitching a Complete game is Ron Washington. :hide:

by **dazindiansfanuk** » Fri Jun 03, 2011 9:43 pm

That .680 OPS in the #3 hole is just not helping!
