Morales?

Is a joke.

Was that the answer to your question? LOL

 

[The Nemesis]

Lol, Sportsnet app having a seizure. Over the course of about 10 seconds:

Alert: Jays 1, Rangers 0
Alert: Jays 2, Rangers 0
Alert: Jays 3, Rangers 0
Alert: Jays 1, Rangers 0
Alert: Jays 2, Rangers o

and now they do score the 3rd run and it's crickets.

 

[Del Preston]

I loathe Banister.

 

[canucksfan]

Morales did his job but he swung at two pitches that were balls.

 

[The Nemesis]

Alert: Jays 3, Rangers o
Alert: Jays 2, Rangers 0
Alert: Jays 3, Rangers 0

Still hate you, Kevin.

 

[Longshot]

Pillar flies out with a runner in scoring position. Another example of a blown scoring opportunity...

Uh oh. Better quarantine Pillar. It seems like he's become contagious.

 

[Loosie]

Does Moore come back for the 4th? I'd say his day should be done.

 

[canucksfan]

Quite a few years ago the Rangers starters looked promising. They had Holland, Feliz, Ogando, Wilson, Harrison and likely missing a few. Most of them flamed out in a hurry.

 

[The Nemesis]

There's more sweeping generalization by Buck.

"Arlington is a fair park for pitchers."

It's been in the top 10 in hitter-friendliness according to ESPN park factors in 4 of the last 5 years.

They're a lot like the Orioles in that regard.

 

[Longshot]

Shin-Soo Choo. I cringe every time I hear his name. Feels like the times I had him on my various fantasy teams, he was always hurt.

 

[Longshot]

Moore is struggling all night with throwing strikes. Grichuk leads off and hacks at the first pitch...

 

[Loosie]

Nicely done Travis.

Me too!

Yeah, it sure has, Nem.

*whistle laugh*

 

[canucksfan]

The Jays base running has been really good this year. I like the aggressiveness.

 

[Loosie]

and surprise, surprise the sportsnet now feed goes to crap.

 

[The Nemesis]

Once again:

lol, Jesse Chavez.

 

[Eyedea]

Quite a few years ago the Rangers starters looked promising. They had Holland, Feliz, Ogando, Wilson, Harrison and likely missing a few. Most of them flamed out in a hurry.

Once upon a time (6-7 years ago) we had Hutch, Alvarez, and Drabek coming up to join Romero and Morrow in the rotation.

Weird. Mine's been unusually solid tonight.

...and now I'm not sure if the coffee table I'm knocking on is real wood or not.

 

[Loosie]

Bannister's finally seen enough.

 

[Longshot]

Me too!

Jacoby Ellsbury is another one. I drafted him in the first round after his 30-30 season he was an injured ravaged nightmare the whole season. He was 27 and looked like he was about to come into his own as a power/speed demon and has never remotely come close to those numbers. It was a real lesson.

 

[The Nemesis]

Once upon a time (6-7 years ago) we had Hutch, Alvarez, and Drabek coming up to join Romero and Morrow in the rotation.

Alvarez and Hutchison never got the broader praise that the Rangers used to get for their pitching prospects.

Or the Orioles with Gausman, Hunter Harvey, Matusz, Bundy, Britton, and Matt Hobgood over the last few years (Hobgood being a little earlier than the rest)

 

[Longshot]

Bannister's finally seen enough.

Not sure if you're watching the game with sound or not. But Buck and Pat said early in the year the Rangers bullpen has thrown a lot of pitches and Banister was trying to milk some innings out of Moore.
