    Is Josh Hamilton terribly overrated?

    I understand he's supposed to be great, and I havent seen a ton of Ranger games. But, I don't think I've ever seen the guy actually get a hit.

    Do folks just want him to be good, because he's a decent guy? Am I just catching the wrong games?

    Unreal. Guy seems like a stiff everytime I watch him play.

    Yes....the Rays drafted him #1 overall & he's the reigning MVP simply because he's a "nice guy".

    Fukk is this bullish*t??

    If this game wasn't on, I'd hop a train to WV and Ned Beatty your ass, boy!

    more proof washington is losing this series

    should not even be in the lineup against a lefty and batting third is a joke

    looked like washington had that intentional-unintentional walk put on the pitcher there.

    When he is in a slump, he sure is

    He needs a couple of bumps to get him crackin'

    He's admitted he's only about 50% right now offensively because of a severely strained groin.

    He is playing hurt and has all the batting ability of an old lady in his injured state. Got to hand it to him for toughing it out, but he should be on the bench resting.

    He really has been an automatic out since playoffs started
    Who else you going to play though??

    No way he comes out of lineup

    Guy seems to have a habit of being "hurt" in the WS. Was a force last year too....hitting like .100

    I like the guy, but every Ranger game I catch, he is striking out or hitting a weak fly ball. I've probably only seen 75-100 of his at bats, and cant think of a time where I thought he looked good. Maybe it's a playoff thing. Dont see many of his regular season games.

    Most guys do not hit in baseball playoffs

    Pitchers way ahead of batters for the last 100 years

    Clear as day he's hurt guys.....You can and should rip on Ron Washington all you want for keeping him in the 3 hole, but gimmie a break here

    Been all over sports radio, espn, etc that he's been hurt for a while and fighting through it best he can

    Guy's a beast when he's healthy though

    He's not "hurt" he's legitimately injured man.....he's fukkin flailing at the ball, nothing close to attacking the ball like he does when he's healthy

    Give the guy a break, not his fault his cokehead manager is putting him in a terrible situation (3rd)

    He does get injured a lot, but when healthy, he is a beast

    big at bat here.....
