I'm in love with Julio Borbon

[Texanne]

And admit it. Some of you guys are, too!

 

[orangecat]

yes, there is no reason for Kinsler to ever hit leadoff again. I'm guessing his on base percentage has to be over .500, and he might actually finish up hitting around .400.

 

[spystud13]

I'm a fan too, but let's be a little more realistic about his average please. He has all of 33 ABs so far...

 

[WorsterMan]

OK I admit it... he and Feliz are a the top of my Ranger man crush list right now

 

[Chest Rockwell]

As an Astro fan of 30+ years I can say this with all honesty . . . it is a great time to be a Ranger fan.

 

[PitchingGuru]

They do appear to have some talent. Borbon did hit .307 with 25 SB for the RedHawks. With him, Cruz, Murphy, Smoak, Davis, Ramirez(I guess he is still high on their list), they do have some talent stocked up. And that doesnt include the pitching and some lower levels.

I'm in love with his brother Kentucky...

 

[cochamps]

If they can just get the sale completed so that they don't waste another draft choice, etc. they have a promising future - and I mean near term.

A nice embarrassment of riches in the outfield - Murphy, Cruz, Hamilton, Borbon, Byrd. What to do? Byrd is a Free Agent after the season; I'd really like to see the Rangers keep him. You can DH one of them while three play the outfield each night, but what do we do with the fifth one?

HHD

I heard some talk that when Cruz came back they may send him back down. I sure hope that doesnt happen!!!

 

[hookem2003]

He brings such a different dynamic to this offense. Having him and Andrus hit back-to-back, reeking havoc on the base paths, then bringing up Young, Hamilton, and (now) Cruz to knock them in is damn fun to watch. Adding Smoak and (hopefully) an improved Davis next year could make this thing lethal.

 

[cochamps]

someone tell Wash to let him try and hit versus lefties!

This. Damn it let's at least see if he can hit lefties...

LOL

Texanne, I would have professed my man love for him but now he's 1-9 since you posted this. I think we should say he stinks.

P.S.: I just made the call on Hambone to go yard. He did draw a walk to at least break up the Perfect Game.

Hook'em!!!

[Horn69]

Hot diggity!!!!!!!! Just flipped back over to my MLB Gamecast to see the call was answered by Kinsler two batters later. Hot damn! 3-1 on 1 hit.

Hook'em!!!

 

[Horn69]

Love the symmetry...R's: 3-1-0. Y's: 1-3-0

But our bullpen will be severely tested this game. Will have to check the final in the morning.

Hook'em!!!
