Chisoxfn Posted August 31, 2005 Share Posted August 31, 2005 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chisoxfn Posted August 31, 2005 Share Posted August 31, 2005 QUOTE(BigSqwert @ Aug 30, 2005 -> 04:48 PM) 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.

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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then, I realized it was Ozuna at 3b, and got even more nervous. That should have been strike 3 on Mench. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
