Boesch having a nice AB.

**Antrat** · 04-22-2012, 01:28 PM

If they split this series I will feel a whole lot better about the first two beat downs.
Write off the first beat down to a rookie that should not be in the MLB and the second beat down to Brandon Inge being the curse that he is.

**monkeynuts** · 04-22-2012, 01:28 PM

C'mon Miggy...pick it up for Brennan...

**ben9753** · 04-22-2012, 01:30 PM

Boesch thinks its the second half of 2010. COME ON, GET WITH THE TIMES BRENNAN!!!

**ben9753** · 04-22-2012, 01:32 PM

We can't let this pitcher off the hook.

**CapitalTigers** · 04-22-2012, 01:34 PM

Boesch looks bad.

**Gehringer_2** · 04-22-2012, 01:35 PM

just horrible - all three of them

One of the main reasons why our offense has been so weak -- perhaps the main one.

Eh, he's certainly struggled...but we seemingly have had very little power of late from all the big swingers.

**tigerbomb13** · 04-22-2012, 01:40 PM

A LOT to like about Smyly so far, but that wasn't a good 0-2 pitch. He'll learn.

**IdahoBert** · 04-22-2012, 01:40 PM

When are Miggy and Prince going to start hitting like Miggy and Prince again? This team is lucky to be 10-5 with those guys not producing as expected.

They are all trying to do too much right now. All they needed was two lazy flies or GOs to score Jackson.

**CapitalTigers** · 04-22-2012, 01:42 PM

These umpires have to start warning the Rangers a bit on the constant delays due to complaining balls and strikes.

**TigersSlappy** · 04-22-2012, 01:43 PM

I'm feeling the beginning of a mancrush on Smyly, he seems to be a cool customer.

Kind of wondering the same thing. Saw a game in Milwaukee and Prince was playing with incredible intensity. They'll get going.

**thefunk** · 04-22-2012, 01:44 PM

had to watch the first 1 and 1/2 on dvr.

1. The big guys need to find their bats, asap.
2. The TBS announcers, most of all Wells, need to never work in this business again.
3. Runs please.

**CapitalTigers** · 04-22-2012, 01:45 PM

There's a big advantage for pitchers too right now because there's almost always one out when prince or Miggy are ab. Boesch just looks lost, needs to be dropped down in lineup for a bit.

Who would you put at #2? Johnny?

Absolutely. Even after the ALCS, I didn't really hate the Rangers. All the whining today is giving me plenty of reasons. Kinsler is a little punk.

**Gehringer_2** · 04-22-2012, 01:49 PM

Gameday is showing Colby's FB at often at 88 and this change at up to 87!

**CapitalTigers** · 04-22-2012, 01:50 PM

Kelly will homer.

**alwaysthrowheat** · 04-22-2012, 01:50 PM

Smyly is freakin sweet.

**Gehringer_2** · 04-22-2012, 01:51 PM

Andrus got his foot stepped on.

**TigersSlappy** · 04-22-2012, 01:51 PM

Andrus looked like he was gimping a bit coming off the field after colliding with Gonzalez.

He's fun to watch. Demeanor of a veteran.

**tigerbomb13** · 04-22-2012, 01:51 PM

Can anyone hit on this team anymore? Anyone?

Reminds me of John Danks.

Batting average hovering right around .200 since Boston series. :(

**CapitalTigers** · 04-22-2012, 01:56 PM

Is it too early for a bloody mary?

**thefunk** · 04-22-2012, 01:56 PM

Miracle we're 10-5. Just imagine when they do start hitting...

Probably 2013.

**tigerbomb13** · 04-22-2012, 01:57 PM

Drew looks like the real deal!

**CapitalTigers** · 04-22-2012, 01:57 PM

Slyly

Is it too early to speculate that the way Smyly is performing makes Turner our big trading chip for the summer?

Well, turner needs to up his stock first.

Yes.

**The Truman Show** · 04-22-2012, 02:03 PM

If the team is going to make any major midseason trades, the trading chip is going to be C Rob Brantly. He's beating the crap out of AA right now, and there's obviously no room for him at the MLB level.
