4 ks in a row for the not crisp Rodon. I womder what will happen if he ever is crisp.

Um, we don't have to wonder about that. We watched it last night.

2 dinky hits. Ugh.

There's almost a Newtonian law on this board whenever you get too belligerent or bellicose (this bullpen is nails! Rodon is crisp) that something bad will happen next.

 

You know, Martinez also struck out the side yesterday in the 2nd when he gave up all those runs.

Yeah, trying to quick bunt a Rodon fastball up in the zone was not a very intelligent play.

Twice now it looks like Flowers blocked the ump's view on a possible strike by popping up for a fake throw.

He's in there for his bat anyways, wait, what?

Big out, nice play by Sanchez

SO...you really want gordon at 2nd?

Incredible play by Sanchez.

Rodon is really pressing his luck

Not his fault, more surprised it doesn't happen more.

Sanchez made the adjustment defensively and saved two runs.

 

Rodon can't keep throwing this many pitches.

Our shaky bullpen will get overexposed in the 6th and 7th.

Nice work Carlos.

Rodon living on the edge of a lightning bolt.

LOL. He did hit a homer yesterday though.

Can't you ever just say you were wrong? BTW. No runs scored.

Let's be honest, it doesn't matter how good Sanchez's defense is if he's going to hit like a pitcher. I'm cool with giving him a few more weeks, but if he doesn't show something we'll have no other choice but to bring back Micah or give Beckham a shot.

I'd rather move Beckham to 2nd and platoon Conor/Davidson at 3rd than bring Johnson back to play 2nd.

At least Ventura has the excuse to play LaRoche now at 1B because of Abreu's finger injury.

I dunno man I really want to give Carlos 200 PA and see if he can make the adjustment to MLB pitching. His defense has been a huge boon to the staff. I kinda want to throw out the saber stats with him I think he's had a calming affect on the entire defense.

I'm describing exactly what the Rangers' announcers were providing to the audience (they should also be more familiar with their own stadium's gun readings).

 

If I had a t.v. feed and could actually SEE what was going on, then I would gladly admit to being wrong...like criticizing the Astros' front office all last year.

I gotta admit that this is where I agree with Hawk. If your team is struggling to score runs why sacrifice defense? I like Gordon at 3rd because Gillaspie is just too inconsistent.

Under no circumstance does Davidson deserve a major league job. He'd be embarrassed by major league pitching, even in a platoon role.
