Just now, Look at Ray Ray Run said:

Why do so many think swinging at first pitch is a bad AB? He got a fastball up, and he was late. He was clearly looking for it. Shit happens.

It was a hanger higher than high.  I’m fine with him swinging first pitch, just need a better swing than that.

Really quality at bat for Grandal, my god. Stop pulling everything 

Grandal is streaky and kinda one dimensional as a hitter but he still is a good hitter for a catcher due to his walks and decent pop.

He will strike out and hit .240-.250 but hit 25 homers and lots of walks.  The bottom line is still solid but that type of hitter will have some empty weeks.

Or Alexei?

Nice play by Moncada cutting across Anderson, Timmy probably wouldn't have been able to throw him out from that spot.

Pretty much

Jason....how does being the backup in high school of someone who is really good make you really good?  :cool:

Unless you played for King or Simeon in the late 80's or early 90's...

 

Btw, that new Rangers' stadium looks awfully antiseptic watching from t.v., and there's been very little offense so far there.

Disturbing trend of multiple strikeouts  against non-strikeout pitchers

Their #5 starter would be our #3.   That's the difference in the two staffs.   Plutko is essentially their #6/swingman.

And Bieber has really elevated his game since last year.   It helps to have tonight's home plate owner's strike zone....that's how he got 14 Opening Day.   7 strikeouts.     Not to mention Clevinger is REALLY nasty.   We're missing their two best and in danger of getting swept nevertheless.
