Josh Barrelled that up nicely.

Laid off the ones Miller just knew he would chase out of the zone and then put a good swing on a strike

It was good to get a win and exciting, but piss poorly played.

reading the last 7/8 pages makes me glad I don't watch baseball with you guys

It's fine and what it is, but the over the top hammering of all things Elvis while Beltre skates is comical at best.

Good evening to all

Don't know what you were reading, but Beltre caught plenty of flack tonight. Selective reading is your culprit here.

perhaps tonight but not in general and I'm sick of what Elvis has become this season

25 RBI's is just that for the spots he hits in and both have the same fielding percentage for the season

Part of that is time spent on the DL, but your point is well made.

IDK but Elvis hitting with RISP has been pretty abysmal the last 2 seasons. Im not gonna look it but someone posted it a couple weeks back and it was really ugly. Im not sure he deserves as much crap as he gets, cause he gets a lot on here from me as well, but he isn't the only one. From time to time I want to cuss them all. AB, Choo, Josh, Elvis, Roog, MM. Just easy to gripe about players on a message board I guess.

We want to be good again so badly that it literally hurts.

We aren't there, but considering the pitching and bullpen we have been trotting out there so far every night and the fact that the offense still makes mediocre pitching look like perennial Cy Young candidates. The team has actually done a little better than I would have thought this year, so far.

Team has a pretty good chance to finish .500 which would be amazing.

Beltre has been catching shit pretty much since he came off the DL as most people thought he came back too soon

And his uninspired performance before that wasn't going unnoticed either, perhaps you should watch more, you'll actually see the comments

One guy has a fucked up thumb and needs surgery...the other guy is 26......

He was underproducing before that. Also, I wasn't aware he needed surgery.

Surgery is my guess. Doesn't seem like time or rehab has helped much. He openly admits it's not getting better. He probably shouldn't be playing. Surgery might be too far, but there is def something wrong with it.
