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!

thejrichshow85 · 10-20-11, 08:11 PM

he is underrated.

antifoil · 10-20-11, 08:16 PM

he shouldn't be batting third right now.

more proof washington is losing this series

rm18 · 10-20-11, 08:19 PM

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

antifoil · 10-20-11, 08:28 PM

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

Dabeergod · 10-20-11, 08:38 PM

When he is in a slump, he sure is

He needs a couple of bumps to get him crackin'

jjgold · 10-20-11, 08:51 PM

He is hurt

does anyone actually watch and listen to the games?

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

EmpireMaker · 10-20-11, 08:57 PM

he is streaky

EmpireMaker · 10-20-11, 08:57 PM

and made of glass

OTL · 10-20-11, 09:00 PM

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.

jjgold · 10-20-11, 09:11 PM

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

No way he comes out of lineup

lakerboy · 10-20-11, 09:13 PM

if he is hurt thats fine. get him out of the third spot. he is now hurting the team. i would have put him in the 8th hole

WvGambler · 10-20-11, 09:18 PM

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.

jjgold · 10-20-11, 09:40 PM

Most guys do not hit in baseball playoffs

Pitchers way ahead of batters for the last 100 years

MoneyLineDawg · 10-20-11, 09:45 PM

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

flyingillini · 10-20-11, 09:47 PM

I am sure the guy sneaks in some toot now and then...

Holtgetsback · 10-20-11, 09:48 PM

he will get it done here

WvGambler · 10-20-11, 09:49 PM

Heres your shot Josh....let's get a few here!

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.....

WvGambler · 10-20-11, 09:52 PM

Well at least a sac there

jjgold · 10-20-11, 09:55 PM

If he was healthy that pitch would of been in the upper deck
He got job done

antifoil · 10-20-11, 09:55 PM

haha now larussa does some over managing. he take out a guy that has a k/9 rate of 8.95 for a guy that has one at 5.73.

blackbart · 10-20-11, 09:56 PM

swing was all arms, cant use his legs at all, still produced.

Josh is the team leader so he has to play

Ronnie Wash a great manager

You probably shouldn't post about baseball ever again.

He's only good against spaghetti arm pitchers.
