QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Apr 7, 2012 -> 09:06 PM) He's arbitration eligible this year, and last year's performance was not worth a $3 million first year arbitration deal. His glove alone could get him that elsewhere. I'm sure there are teams in the NL who would pay him that for his glove and let him bat 8th. He's still got potential.

Well done, RV.

If De Aza hadn't turned that single into a triple, Peavy actually would have had himself a really nice outing.

We've had some s*** umpiring so far in this series. Jeez.

Axelrod in AAA tonight: 6 IP, 1 ER, 4 H, 1 BB, 9 K

Quality start for Peavy. Great job of getting it together. Looks like he wants 1 more inning though.

QUOTE (Heads22 @ Apr 7, 2012 -> 08:51 PM) Peavy is looking much more comfortable all of a sudden. It's much easier for him out of the windup.

QUOTE (fathom @ Apr 7, 2012 -> 08:50 PM) Question for others on this board: does De Aza play a deep CF? From what I've seen so far, yes.

QUOTE (fathom @ Apr 7, 2012 -> 08:46 PM) You absolutely cannot have him and Alexei batting back-to-back at this point in the season. Game 2?

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Apr 7, 2012 -> 08:42 PM) That ball was tattoed more than the arms of D-Back Ryan Reynolds or NBAer Chris Andersen. Jon Rauch too.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Apr 7, 2012 -> 08:39 PM) Hamilton had two high hangers and just got under 'em. Harrelson would have been going crazy if he was the Rangers' announcer. Beltre just missing two homers tonight, tough luck. Three if you include the foul ball.

Beltre (insert non-existent word synonymous with crushed but way harder) that ball.

Is Lillibridge just really short or does it look like he uses a super long bat?

Texas' lineup is ridiculous.

Best swing by Morel so far. Thought that one might get out.

I'm really liking how comfortable Flowers looks at the plate. Good, patient approach.

All things considered, Peavy did a nice job of avoiding a big inning.

Let's roll two and minimize the damage hear, Jake.

QUOTE (fathom @ Apr 7, 2012 -> 08:04 PM) Just remember, Danks going 6 innings and allowing 3 runs was considered a mediocre start by some. C+ start.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Apr 7, 2012 -> 08:03 PM) You know what's a good idea? Giving up free baserunners before Hamilton and Beltre. Because we've done a great job of retiring Kinsler anyway, right?

This is very ominously turning into a disaster.

The Rangers are really good.

AND WHY ARE WE STILL PITCHING TO KINSLER?

De Aza? Why did you do that?

PAULIE IS THE MAN!
