Impressive by De Aza...I fully endorse Morel trying to flip one to right against this guy.

Nice contact, just needs to get more of his body into his swing

Viciedo is so overmatched by a fastball right now, it's not even funny.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Apr 18, 2012 -> 02:04 AM) Nice pitching over the leadoff double. Danks had fantastic offspeed pitches all night

QUOTE (greg775 @ Apr 18, 2012 -> 03:03 AM) I was thinking the same thing. If I owned the team I'd at least call his agent and tell him to pass the word on to Rios that I think he is a bum. It would be more powerful if you relayed word to him that the town of Lawrence thinks he is a bum

Should be interesting to watch Beckham face O'Day next inning. I'd be all for letting Fukudome or Escobar hit.

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Apr 18, 2012 -> 01:57 AM) Just pay Rios to go away already. I can't believe he didn't stop at least to see if AJP could score.

My gosh, that's just terrible baseball. You at least have to force the rundown. 3 outs made via CS/bunts tonight, yay!

QUOTE (Capn12 @ Apr 18, 2012 -> 01:54 AM) Thats...not getting the job done there. No idea why Buck didn't bring in O'Day to face Rios

6 runs, no one retired for Melancon vs the Rangers...yikes

Nice hit by Rios! Chen looks to be finished

Anyone just see Hanley's homer? Mercy, he killed that

QUOTE (Capn12 @ Apr 18, 2012 -> 01:46 AM) What the hell has gotten into AJ F'n P? That guy is straight on it... Contract.Year.

AJ is just awesome right now. Nice comeback here, all started by balta's boy

The Rangers are really freaking good

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Apr 18, 2012 -> 01:42 AM) Yes, I think he would. I can't imagine continuing with that life, not when you've already made $75 million or so in your career. My exact thoughts

Honest question...if Dunn hits .175 again or so, does anyone think he'll retire after the year is over?

Really nice swing by Morel there

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Apr 18, 2012 -> 01:35 AM) Maybe Marty is right. If these types of performances continue, the tenor of every single game story will be attendance figures between 10-13,000. Dunn/Beckham/Rios/Morel features. It might start to spiral to the point a change has to be made...a sacrifice to the fans, since it obviously won't be either Dunn or Rios. There was one, he's managing the Marlins. There are no significant changes that can be made to impact attendance unless team starts winning (and I don't mean 81-81).

What you know, makes them look silly with offspeed pitches.

Haha, Orioles can hit the fastball AJ.

Danks...6th inning...yep. Keep throwing Reimold high fastballs Sox pitchers. Reimold looks fantastic this year

How can you keep playing Beckham, who literally looks like he's taking his first round of batting practice? Just a terrible lineup Ventura put out there tonight.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Apr 18, 2012 -> 01:16 AM) You act like this is new. People were falling over themselves to declare this team dead in the off season. Sure didn't seem like it in the prediction thread.

QUOTE (southsideirish71 @ Apr 18, 2012 -> 02:12 AM) So the Formula for fun bad is here. We have a young bullpen that has no margin of error. A pitching staff overall that has to be perfect. And an offense that has no clue but one guy. The o needs to figure it out. Too much pressure on pitching staff. Sounds like the makings of just a boring as hell team. 10 games into the season, and it seems like a lot of people have lost interest already.
