Really an awesome start given the weather, Rangers being on fire and the poor defense he got today. Smith called a great game. Love seeing 3-2 offspeed pitches, as it's not like our pitchers have good fastball command.

Gotcha thanks. Sick of seeing that injury this season

Rondon pulled from Charlotte. Wonder if he's coming up and Leury hurt his knee again?

Love watching good Avi. Before there was Timmy and Yoan to follow their at bats religiously, there was Avi

He's just pulling off the ball too much vs RHP. Causing him to not make the same quality of contact he had earlier in year against fastballs, and it's giving him no prayer against offspeed pitches. If you go back and look at changeup he missed in last at bat yesterday, it's the perfect illustration of why he's fallen off a cliff.

Lopez picks him up. His breaking pitches have been great today.

My god Yolmer, take the easy out. Very disappointed in his decision making this season.

So I looked it up, he's hitting .194 on the season if he doesn't put the first pitch into play.

Ops in the .430s vs LHP. no way he wouldn't be better than that batting lefty full time

Great slide for Jose

Kind of want to see him leadoff full time and let Yoan bat 2nd. Might result in more fastballs for Yoan.

That was great swing adjustment by Anderson. Had been pounded inside the last at bat and adjusted his swing

Great pitches after visit

He just mumbles that fan support sucks and then walks back to dugout

Just awful command of his fastball this inning. Love that Cooper finally decided to get off his throne.

Nice 3-2 pitch. Pretty obvious Rangers can kill any fastball in the zone right now.

Oh it's significantly worse with Yoan forgetting how to field and Tilson being a clown

This defense seriously sucks. It just kills the pitchers.

Little league bullshit

Shouldn't he get his own statue behind home plate making the out signal that he claimed wasn't an actual out?

Doug Eddings always trying to help us out

Agree with everything you say here

Hate comparing front offices of Cubs and Astros with Hahn and company. Theo and Luhnow. Those two came to their current organizations highly accomplished with Boston/StL. Meanwhile Hahn has been less than impressive during his tenure with the Sox. He's done nothing to illustrate he knows how to build a contender.

https://mobile.twitter.com/keithlaw/status/1013429703145934853 I would trade any prospect in the system for him, including Yoan

Speed of the game seems too fast for him at times. He went from someone who made everything look easy to the opposite.
