Kinsler pops out
I don't watch every minute of every game, but when was the last time Mes actually threw out a runner.
Brantley on radio saying that Mes comes out of the crouch straight up and doesn't get any momentum on the throws. That's why they usually go into the dirt.
Andrus singles to center. 1st and 3rd.
Reds in this situation would GIDP.
Rangers will take advantage.

The ongoing criticism of Stubbs defense by me and a few others was that he pulls up and plays it safe on balls that he can catch. Many, who can't seem to read, were up in arms because they misconstrued that to mean we wanted him to leave his feet and risk the ball rolling to the wall for extra bases and it was never the point. When the ball is still fifteen feet in the air, taking another step or two to make the catch wouldn't hurt. Drew pulled up and played those on the bounce quite a bit IMO.
Most over-rated defensive player I've ever seen. He was good covering gap to gap and that's flashy seeing him chewing up ground, but he gave it all back and then some on plays in front of him and to some extent balls over his head, though lots of guys have trouble with those. His trouble going back caused him to play way too deep, IMO, which magnified his issues on balls in front of him.
I associated your citing Redszone wanting Stubbs to dive with that whole scenario.
All my posts are my opinion - just like yours are. If I forget to state it and you're too dense to see the obvious, look here!
Problem is there's always an excuse. Never the right situation for Mes to actually throw out a runner.
He's supposed to have a good arm, hard to see it watching these games, but I guess people know.
Cruz singles to right. 3-0 Rangers
unreal...just over bp's head...
Oh, it's so easy...

There's a lot of talent in the pitching staff. There's certainly some in the lineup, but not enough to overcome the lack of talent that exists in other everyday positions.
Beltre flies out to left. Runner to 3rd. 1st and 3rd and that is it for Latos after 106 pitches
Not only that, but Jim Bowie was born in Kentucky, moved as a child with his family to Louisiana when he was six, and didn't move to Texas until 1830 at the age of 34. He died at the Alamo just short of his 40th birthday.He said it with authority -- it must be true
Eric Stratton, Rush Chairman. Damn glad to meet ya.
as frustrated as i get with this team, it does sadden me that we are already into the second half of the season. the year is flying by.
Thom and Chris said in the broadcast earlier to day that he last threw out a runner attempting to steal in the series at Pittsburgh at the beginning of June.
