Nice start to the game..

Dozier uses the whole field.

Duffey got out of that first inning on pure luck. He better straighten up and step across the line a little, or these Texas hitters will kill him.

I always felt sorry for Mongo. I know it might be an unpopular opinion, considering how he would cold-cock horses just for fun, but I had a novel thought occur to me, that ultimately he was only a pawn in the game of life.

He may even grow to have feelings for Sheriff Bart.

I have to say that the iPad multitasking with the MLB app is pretty outstanding. I can listen to the game, participate on the forums, and check in with just a swipe.

[HitInAPinch]

Lack of hustle on that one....

Now if only YouTube would do the same without charging a fee

Not that there's anyth-... whoops, wrong motif.

[Aggies7]

Pretty sad that the rangers are getting a new ballpark

[Aggies7]

Duffey not doing very much to convince us that what happened In New York was anything other than a fluke

[jimbo92107]

Duffey is stooping over at the set. He needs to stand up straight so his release point is higher and he gets better tilt on his stuff. When he stoops over, his benders flatten out and his fastball sails.

It's absolutely necessary because reasons.

Time of game...4 hours

Oh no, Mongo straight.

If it were paid for privately, I still would think it's silly, but at least I wouldn't hate it.

[jimbo92107]

Suzuki did a little sand surfing to field that ball in the dirt. He does field those bouncers pretty well.

I blame the Cowboys.

 

Which actually works for a great many things in life.

They need the new park to be able to be competitive :-)

Unbelievable. Texas is really snake bit if they can't score when Duffey's throwing the ball this badly. Maybe their problem is they don't have any more idea where the next pitch is going than Duffey does. Weird.

But enough about the first two innings.

[ashbury]

Oh no, Mongo straight.

Like I started to say, not that there's anything wrong with that.

I'm having Samuel Deduno flashbacks.

[ashbury]

Does there exist a pitch far enough out of the strike zone that Rosario won't swing at it? Maybe Arko has some interstellar pitch data.

[spinowner]

 

Oh no, Mongo straight.

Not in Victor Victoria.  Couldn't find the video, though.

Bad trip man. We're here for ya.

I watched Tony Oliva do the same thing for years. Just better.

Just ride it out, man.

Another great bad-ball hitter was Ralph Garr.
