but that was refreshing. 1-2-3 inning for Bergy. 12 strikes, 3 balls. Awesome, or what? Hope he keeps it up.

AJ was safe.

Hello Everyone. Baserunning is something this team can not overcome.

Baserunning is a problem we just can’t seem to master on a consistent basis. Buck and Thorn praise BRob and Jones. Next play we have no clue

Rangers have a lot of good hitters. It has little to do with the hitting coach. I actually feel much the same about Crowley, but Crowley has been given rope like no coach I’ve ever seen in my life.

Comment for Y Not

You asked in yesterday’s game thread why I and others think Padilla was throwing at guys on Friday. Buck commented on Friday night’s MASN telecast that some Texas players felt like Matt Albers hit Andruw Jones on purpose in the last series and felt like the score needed to be evened out for that.

I don’t see why he would have said that if it wasn’t something that was the case. The way he was throwing – several times up and in throughout the game – and the fact that he suspiciously hit Markakis after being left in while he appeared to be gassed, well, I think that was on purpose.

I do want to see retaliation from our pitching staff. I want us to pitch inside. I want guys backed off the plate. I don’t want Texas hitters digging in. They hit MVP and we hit a fat buffoon (Andruw Jones). But I want us to pitch inside.
