Ok maybe I have no idea how this all works but why wouldn’t we bring up Whitely? Isn’t he our next big star? Is he not ready yet?

Number of control years and a 10.8 ERA i guess?

10.80 ERA in Round Rock isn't helping 

[Scraps 13582]

You don't just bring a guy up because he is "supposed to be better" longterm. Forrest gave up 3 bombs his last start. He hasn't shown he can handle AAA batters consistently so you aren't going to throw him in to the majors

 

 

[Rockethorn1978 6106]

Ok makes sense I haven’t kept up with him at all this year. I didn’t know he was struggling that bad.

[Scraps 13582]

That T Kemp bounce tho

[perfectchaos007 6677]

Good job getting him home, George

[Scraps 13582]

George Springer > Mike Trout

Prove me wrong

Didn't even have a very good launch angle.  C+, maybe a B-.

Launch angle was even worse this time.  Just a single.  1 run instead of 2.  Not sure what's wrong with George.

[SimonBolivar 10960]

52 pitches already.

[Scraps 13582]

That launch angle works

Breggggg

[TexArcher 38075]

Now THAT's a launch angle!  

Fuck your moms, Arlington.

[perfectchaos007 6677]

Way to bring him home, Bregs

Bigger hate trigger - being Aggie or ex-bandito ?

Chuy is going to play for the banditos as soon as he turns 8

[SimonBolivar 10960]

That went far.

[henrygandorf 29195]

we're just gettin' warmed up over here.

[Scraps 13582]

Martin your first big league win is on a platter....dont go fuck this up son

[TexArcher 38075]

Baaaaahahahaha.  Get your ass back in there, slapdick.

[Seasick Sailor 3747]

Idiot 

[Scraps 13582]

Hi im a ranger playur. I can count to potato.

[Scraps 13582]

Well shit

[Scraps 13582]

That was nasty

[Seasick Sailor 3747]

 

[kevwun 15925]

That looked like he was hitting an iron off the fairway.

[UTexasFight 9540]

His pitch recognition and ability to hit it exactly how/where he wants right now is simply incredible

13.5 K/9 seems decent enough

he's also hitting .400 and slugging like .880 (but i'm sure someone can get me up to the minute stats).

[henrygandorf 29195]

spring hitting .312

[TexArcher 38075]

George's launch angle struggles continue.  One unaesthetic home run and two singles today.  Meh.

This is one “slump” I can live with until he breaks out of it.

[henrygandorf 29195]

ha!

[SimonBolivar 10960]

Little League team.

[Scraps 13582]

Yuli doing his Marwin impersonation

[perfectchaos007 6677]

Baseball is a contact sport sometimes

[henrygandorf 29195]

for a ball so clearly uncatchable, guzman handled that horribly.

[TexArcher 38075]

Guzman's a fucking idiot.  He's lucky neither guy got seriously injured.

[elfenix 34335]

Tony kemp upping that trade value

[Mez2 4025]

Black Altuve 

[billfromlaketravis 11525]

Could Kemp play second while Altuve is out? I assume so. He played second at Vandy. 

[elfenix 34335]

George of springer!

[TexArcher 38075]

Big fucking surprise, as Springer fails to elevate the ball again.

It's tough to watch him struggle like this. Hate to see it.

you would think.

but i'm ok with aledmys at 2nd, keeping yuli at 1b, and having kemp over white in the dh rotation.  or popping him into the of and having uncle mike dh.

lots of flexibility even with tuve out.

blacktuve has an interesting ring to it.

[elfenix 34335]

So much trade value

[perfectchaos007 6677]

HAPPY MOTHERS DAY

[Seasick Sailor 3747]

BREGS!!!!!!!

[thetruth 149]

That is more fucking like it. BREGS
