It's pretty weird that it seems Wise would be a help to this outfield right now:) Edited August 11, 2012 by fathom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean I don't dislike him but I'm not happy with his progression (or lack thereof). I think the expectations are much too high for him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cali Posted August 11, 2012 Share Posted August 11, 2012 Getting bumped out of first is probably the only thing that wakes this team up. Worked once before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fathom Posted August 11, 2012 Share Posted August 11, 2012 Threw two of his best pitches of the game so far. Nice job by Cooper of settling him down. Hey Gordon, pretend you're leading off the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fathom Posted August 11, 2012 Share Posted August 11, 2012 Rangers up 2-0, Scherzer giving up a lot of base runners. Not gonna lie, it's been fun this week rooting for the superstars on the Yanks/Rangers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greg775 Posted August 11, 2012 Share Posted August 11, 2012 QUOTE (YASNY @ Aug 10, 2012 -> 08:42 PM) She just loves green and gold. Great great line. QUOTE (fathom @ Aug 11, 2012 -> 12:38 AM) Calling up Morel would be so stupid. You can't have an entire bench full of defensive-oriented players, especially with Konerko missing at least 7 games. If they do call up Morel, they need to then get rid of Hudson. The bench has been a weakness all year, and with PK out, now isn't the time for KW to neglect the bench. Amen, brotha. No Morel, please. QUOTE (RZZZA @ Aug 11, 2012 -> 01:44 AM) lighter bat? softer swing? Do something Tank. He definitely needs help. His approach is horrific. It's electric the times he actually makes contact with a slight uppercut, but the man needs to listen to his batting coach who certainly doesn't condone the way he approaches each at bat.

Yeah, his mental funks give me mental distress. You've said it before but he needs his parents to come to every fricking game to save their son's career.
