Raffy!!!!!!

Catcher did a TERRIBLE job there.

EDIT: The catcher did a terrible job handling the ball.

Tip o' the cap to the home plate umpire there. Most umps call Freese out because the throw clearly beat him there. Buck didn't block the plate and get the tag around, Freese did a nice job of finding the back of the plate and the ump got the call right.

Great win. And if you ever wonder if Tyler Greene should be the starting 2b, just go ahead and watch that AB from Danny D. That kid is just a dirt-devil and a smart ballplayer. Greene would've swung out of his shoes 3 times and taken a seat. DD just fought and fought and kept the AB alive long enough to move the line along.

Great great job by Descalso there and a smart AB by Furcal, just swatting at those outside pitches.

He sucks so bad the Royals got rid of him.

thats a good way to into the break. :clap:

We went to the game Friday, which was a shitty loss. Anyway, we sat right behind the Marlins dugout. I cam away thinking the Marlins are making a mistake by putting Ramirez at third. He just doesn't see comfortable there and doesn't really know how to play the position very well.



I know some here won't like this, but I think about making a move to bring him to STL to play SS.

no thanks. Too many reported issues in the media with effort. I'm sure there are many more unreported to the public.

He will be may too expensive and with a new stadium, no way they could sell that to the public.

Don't need boy scouts all over the diamond.

Bring Hanley in, have him play average defense at SS w/ his offensive potential batting 5th in your order and you're much much better for it.

Broken record alert: I'd deal Miller and Cox for Ramirez and Chishek and Oviedo without thinking twice.

I'd be on board with that trade.

If his D was questionable at short and he can't play 3rd, why not try him at 2nd where we don't have anything anyway? Still, never gonna happen. You can't give up all the pieces you have saved for the future.

Cox isn't being saved for the future any more than Bryan Anderson is.

The problem with Hanley is the incredible popularity of Rafael Furcal. The team loves the guy. He's a great teammate and his energy is invaluable to the clubhouse.

You don't play him at 2b because he'd pout and because his footwork would be an absolute disaster. Though if you could get him to be a good soldier, play hard and learn the ropes over there, you'd have the best starting 9 in baseball - Rangers included.

Keith Law on Oscar Taveras:

Apparently, Oscar hit a shot off the scoreboard in CF in BP. That's a ridiculous bomb.

Furcal
Beltran
Holliday
Craig
Ramirez
Freese
Yadi
Jay

Would be pretty solid IMO.
