Blum, KW's trophy deadline pick-up with a 2 base error.

Blum, KW's trophy deadline pick-up with a 2 base error.

Yuck

apparently, they put the pan on Blums glove too . . .

He has absolutely no confidence when he's hitting. I remember when he first came up Hawk was spouting off how he would eventually hit 20 homers a year. Watching him now, I wonder if he could hit 20 homers a year in batting practice.

 

 

I've never understood how hitters or even pitchers shine in the minors and then come up to the majors and underperform. They should call it the Scott Ruffcorn Disease.

LOL! These Texas announcers are pretty funny. The one guy commented on Blum's play and said it was funny. The other guy goes "funny how? like a clown?"

 

(Goodfellas reference BTW)

i never thought id say this, but i miss joe crede

Give me Pablo Ozuna, even if he f***s up, at least you know he's working his ass off!!

 

GIVE ME PABLO!

It would be nice if White Sox pitching was able to pitch over an error every now and then.

I don't.

And it's 8-6

f*** this crap

8-6 Texas.

GIVE ME PABLO!

Are you saying that Bum is not working his ass off??? He has no right to give anything other than 110%!!!

god dammit this is pathetic.. WAKE THE f*** UP

I don't.

Blum has an RBI, dammit, and given up 3 runs.

What's the over/under on the inning Hawk proclaims him one of the best young pitchers he's seen come up in some time?

Baseball America didn't have him in the top 10 prospects for Texas before the season.

1. Thomas Diamond, rhp

2. John Danks, lhp

3. Joaquin Arias, ss

4. Ian Kinsler, ss

5. Chris Young, rhp

6. John Hudgins, rhp

7. Juan Dominguez, rhp

8. Adrian Gonzalez, 1b

 

However....

 

The Rangers can see their future rotation just down the road in suburban Frisco, home of their Double-A affiliate. Righthanders Thomas Diamond and Edison Volquez and lefthander John Danks all started the year in the high Class A California League before making the big jump to Double-A.

 

[...]

 

"There's no question Volquez has the best fastball velocity and the best life on his fastball. I saw him 93-95 mph with movement, and he has a good changeup. Diamond doesn't quite have the deception in his delivery in the start where I saw him. He just wasn't as good as Volquez. He is a young guy who knows how to pitch, though. I could see him as a No. 3 or 4 starter who eats innings, but there's not enough there to say he's a frontline starter. He's got some feel. I had his fastball up to 94 mph, but it was straight. His breaking balls were OK, and with his arm slot, he really should stick with the slider and make the curve his fourth pitch. I saw some sliders at 84-86 mph, it could be pretty good. It should be his pitch of choice.

He supposedly has developed better stuff than the top 2 guys. You'll also notice that their #5 prostpect has done very well for himself this year at the ML level, and that #7 beat us yesterday.

Seriously Im tired of watching pitchers give runs back after we score em... Dont buy your playoff tix, you wont need to!!!

There is no way McCarthy stops the Rangers next game, even with his recent hot streak. We are going to lose both games and the Indians will probably win and will be up 5.5 games.

YA JON WAY TO SUCK

Are you saying that Bum is not working his ass off??? He has no right to give anything other than 110%!!!

 

no im just saying that pablo brings life life to this team.

Why is it, Buerhle and Garland, supposedly our #1 and #2 pitchers, and supposedly Cy Young candidates, can't ever pitch over an error?

If the Indians win I will never post on Soxtalk again, same for you if they lose. Deal?

Indians rained out

Garland gone.

 

Finally.

 

 

Cotts in.

Well its nice to see after a 7 game losing streak, we play okay for a week and then go back to the same type of play that gave us that 7 game losing streak.

 

 

No pitching + no defense + no hitting(outside of this game) = no playoffs

It's the lights.
