He's definately trying to go to right field here.  If I were the Rangers I'd try to bust him in on a fastball here.

 

He's so in between at the plate right now. His entire upper body is flying open, but his hands are dragging trying to hit the ball to RF. I guess we can't get too upset with RISP and Iguchi, as he hit the homer off of Seattle. However, it's been a real struggle for him lately.

Great clutch hitting by the top of our order.

I still point to the law of averages. There is no way this club will continue to fail with runners in scoring position like it has the past 3 weeks. They are solid hitters (no this isn't a great offensive team, but its certainly capable of being a good one) and sometime soon the club is going to start hitting better than average with runners in scoring position.

 

It will all even itself out, imo and I really think were gonna see this offense go on a decent tear at somepoint during the remainder of the season.

And a very nice outside zone also.  That ball looked to be off the plate by a few inches.

Probably was, but than again, so was Bmac's pitch to Texiera that was called strike 3. Of course I'm bias, I'm a fan of pitching and tend to think everything semi near the plate is a strike, lol. I guess its the pitcher in me :P

Compared to the last few weeks, the last 2 and a half games have been offensive tears. All I know is the Dye is the key to this offense. He's the connecting force between the top and bottom of the order.

Oh ya, when you're facing a hitting team like the Rangers, you want as big of a zone as possible.

I agree with you on Dye. He's a real key kog cause when he's on this offense has a lot more depth to it. If he's off, you can really pitch around the hitters, imo.

 

That was a wicked hook Bmac just threw to Soriano. That ball just dropped to the ground and Soriano weekly grounded out.

I flinched a little when it was hit, worried it would eat up Blum at 3b. Then, I realized it was Ozuna at 3b, and got even more nervous.

 

That should have been strike 3 on Mench.
