The Rangers visit Tigerland for 4.....7/5-8th

[Duane1952]

Didn't take Choo long to keep the streak going.

 

[DT LUNA]

Keep it up Choo. We'll get you a contender

 

[Nightcrawler]

Choo building that trade value. I’m excited about the possibility of dealing him ( mainly because of his contract)

Wonder where would be a good fit

I wish they'd bump Gallo down to 8th in the lineup. Send a message.

I've got a message.....How bout this message.....Frisco

 

[Nightcrawler]

Boring game..... glad it’s done


Kudos to both colon and Zimmerman for pitching good games.

That's a harsh lesson

 

[Kelleyman]

That's a harsh lesson

Is there even a lesson? Or is it only punishment?

This from Scott Lucas.

Willie Calhoun's hitting streak reached 12, and he has hits in 24 of 27 (.356/.382/.534). An even hotter Scott Heineman has reached in 14 of 15, hitting .383/.439/.583 in that time. Hunter Cole has reached safely in 12 straight (.326/.380/.435).

I mentioned those guys were on a roll the other day.

IMO.....him hitting well below .200, and showing absolutely no improvement in putting the ball anyway other than in the seats or in oppossing gloves is 'harsh on the Rangers.'

And Kelley....where's all this bleeding heart nonsense coming from? Punishment.....No it's called 'time for improvement' and little else.......Honestly, what's with your 'poor baby' attitude?

He can take it however he wants to take it. Either way maybe it would get his attention.

I was thinking AA to completely take the pressure off him, plus let him face pitchers where he could afford to experiment with his approach.

He's obviously got the ability to change, just look at the way he's improved at 1st and LF.

 

[Nightcrawler]

Streak extended already for Choo.

I hope it continues until the trading deadline.

They should be able to find a taker if it does.

 

[Duane1952]

Sure thought Choo was going to be at third on that hit.

 

[Nightcrawler]

Hamels might be pitching himself on the rangers for the rest of this year.

Yikes.

I missed it but the Tigers announcers seemed to be a little surprised.

 

[Duane1952]

Two balls off gloves. Not good.

I totally understand the Hamels one. Reaction stab all the way. Had he not touched it, we'd probably be hitting right now, and behind only a couple of runs.

You might just be on to something - unfortunately - here.

 

[Duane1952]

Wow, 2/3 of an inning for Cole.
