Actually yes, an off the wall double which he played very well! Quick turnaround, quick and accurate throw to second, it was cool haha.

 

I have nothing against Fielder, he's a great guy and seems to be well liked in the clubhouse and looks happy with being here, but he just doesn't produce and is on too much.

I may be biased though because Kins is one of my favourite players and I've always been against the trade. There is a section of Rangers fans that don't like him though and didn't think he was very good, but they're wrong.

 

I too am a big Kinsler fan, the way him and Elvis turned DP was truly incredible, that's probably what I miss most honestly.

His production clearly declined his last couple years in Texas so I think he was someone who needed a change of scenery, obviously that's worked well.

I feel like Fielder has produced enough in the RBI department to justify it really so I'm fine with it plus his leadership seems immense so there's also that.

 

Braves trying to trade Olivera...

Poor Braves fans!

 

Wut, how could they? Lol

 

Exactly! Quote from an Executive from a team that was asked: "Can't believe they even asked."

 

Perfect lol

 

Have the Rockies traded Reyes yet? Didn't think so

 

I hate sports so much. I'm thinking about boycotting sports actually. Or taking a 5 year break. Something.

 

I spit my coffee everywhere when I read those articles. I can't believe they actually published it haha

 

The Red Sox are the hip version of the Yankees.

 

I've met people from England who actually kind of said that to me lol I was curious why I saw so many of them shopping for sox stuff, I had to ask

 

I think I've only ever seen Yankees hats being sold over here. They're a much bigger brand than baseball team in England, I honestly didn't know they were a team for several years.

 

Have you seen the Murderers Row they're trotting out in the 3-4-5 slots tonight?

Adonis Garcia, AJ Pierzynski, Jeff Francoeur. Be still, my heart.

 

Is Francouer still major league material? I'm always surprised to find out he's still playing. Not trying to diss him, I just honestly don't know lol.

 

No

 

I thought Francouer was dead when he and Mallex collided the other day. It took him a minute to get up.

 

I laughed at this harder than I feel I should have.

 

No doubt in my mind he's the type of guy who will simply get an offer to coach when he's done. I imagine he will still hang on for a bit though since he's only 32 years old. He's a great clubhouse guy though and for a team like the Braves, he's clearly just there to help the young guys through a rough season.

 

how the hell is francouer 32

 

oh, probably because i was thinking of julio franco

 

Julio Franco today is better than Francour

 

Archer gonna strikeout 15 tonight.

 

Agh really sucks that Zimmermann's scoreless inning streak is broken by a shitty fielding gaffe.

 

Damn, Buxton had 24 strikeouts in 45 at-bats before getting sent down. That's atrocious
