that was a pretty great play.

also right after it you could hear a sox fan yell "come on! you can't tag him with your butthole!" 
Anyone got a video of that? I missed it.

sadly no. no one captured it.
Really? Damn.

so like, we are tied with Toronto and they have the tiebreaker, so obviously we do not have a "magic number" with them. except we totally do. and it's 4. baseball is so weird.

i heard Frank White (who was fired from being a baseball analyst) on 810 yesterday saying the Rangers are scary because they hit a lot of home runs and you don't want to trade HR for HR in a game with them, because guys like Fielder and Beltre and Andrus can pop one at any time.

so i looked it up. these are all 5 of Texas' qualified hitters:
Fielder: 23 HR
Mitch Moreland (?): 23 HR
Shin Soo Choo: 21 HR
Beltre: 17 HR
Andrus: 7 HR

overall as a team the Rangers have hit 167 HR (12th in MLB)

 :dunno:

a) he didn't say he was fired for being bad.

b) that's pretty bad analysis by Frank.

i mean, i don't want to trade HRs with anyone. I want the Royals to hit 3 HRs a game, and the other team 0

and yeah that's lazy on Frank.

To the Rangers, I like the matchup, but any LH starter scares me. Hamels in Game 1 would stress me out, but we're a better team and I'd expect us to win

Texas has been super hot in the 2nd half this season:

pre AS break: 42-46
post AS break: 45-26

wow big improvement! is it because they picked up Cole Hamels?

pre AS break ERA: 4.21
post AS break ERA: 4.25

nope!

ok! is it because maybe they hit more home runs now than they did before?

pre AS break HR: 94 (1.07 per game)
post AS break HR: 73 (1.03 per game)

nope!

Hamels is kinda scary, seeing as we struggle with lefties and changeups. Other than them being hot at the moment I'm not terribly scared with the matchup.  :dunno:

Choo has been an OBP monster 2nd half.

the thing about Frank is that he's absolutely the worst interview/analyst.
