Kremer looks good thru 3

Do you remember the days when you looked at our lineup and said “Damn, there’s not an easy out anywhere “

Nats got man on 2nd but line drive right at center fielder.  0-0 headed to 3rd.

Is the swing and miss with Cowser hopeless? Is this just the kind of hitter he is going to be?

I just don't think he recognizes pitches well.   That can improve with ABs and experience facing ML pitching.   But right now, he is just guessing and flailing at stuff out of the zone.

Yeah three months ago.  We were a beast for a while.

In 1995 or 96 for the Rangers, the number nine guy was named Kevin Elster, and he had 99 RBIs, 20 home runs, and he hit for a very high average. not bad with a glove either. And when that’s your Number nine guy, you’ve got a good lineup

I do.  How silly that was.  Now - all you have to do is pitch 2 or 3 guys carefully and cruise through the rest of the lineup.

He needs to stand at the plate in front of a giant video screen that shows a picture throwing 1000 breaking balls or 1000 pictures each throwing one breaking ball, because that’s the only way he’s going to learn to recognize them and lay off.

If the coaches don’t currently do that, they should, and if they are doing that, it’s not working so they need to rethink how they coach him

Even Mateo was swinging well

What a story the Tigers are.   Good for them.

I got the game on mute and am watching K9 arrest videos on the youtube.  Having the game on mute relieves the game stress alot.

Marlins up 4-0 on Twins.

Ben loves Westburg…always has since the Os drafted him (since he saw him in SEC country).

It really comes through the respect he has for him as a player.

It's funny that watching criminals get taken down by cops and barking dogs is less stressful than listening to a ball game.
