Nice at bat for Hamilton. Not swinging at those changes is a very very good sign

7-5...Andrus finally hits a ball more than 120 feet...and you let the first two men on.

Gotta get some outs here.

It's taken 90 minutes to get to one out in the bottom of the third.

Not so sure I wanted DeShields fielding that fly -- Hamilton with the much better arm.

I can see that, but I'd note Hamilton is running the wrong direction to throw home, and that's not the Josh Hamilton of 2010. His arm is not what is used to be.

Now, I do want someone to riddle me why Claudio gets the call in that situation.

He a left hander without a strike out pitch, so you bring him out against a switch hitter and a right hander with runners on first and third?
TXAggie2011
How long do you want to ignore this user?
And yes, I know his very small sample splits this season say he's better against right-handers...but you have to have to someone out there that can get a strikeout against a right handed hitter in that situation.

He had struck out all of 9 of the 48 right handers he had faced during his MLB career coming into this game.

Hamilton's not even close with some of these swings.

I do have to say its bizarrely impressive that the Rangers can strike out 10 times in 5 innings and still score 7 runs.

Care to share any of his other stats from AAA?

Sure, in his other 20 plate appearances he had 7 hits and 1 walk with no home runs, triples, or stolen bases.

It all added up to a .250 BA, .276 OBP, .357 SLG% and a .633 OPS.

He had 9 putouts and no errors.

Or, he could hit a nubber, and the Indians could F' it up.

There was a highlight of him hitting a monster shot to right center just a few days ago

Ball hung up in the air, Hamilton would have had plenty of time to get in position.

He did that with Frisco. He got sent down to Frisco for 4 or so days. He hit well there...that would be fair to say.

He got sent back up to Round Rock for 2 days and while he had 3 hits in 2 games, got back to striking out.

I'm sure he'll come around but he was rather poor in AAA- the most analogous to MLB league we've got.

Hamilton really tattooed that ball. Unlucky it went right to the pitcher. However, he looks to be the guy that just knows how to get runners in

And sorry, Kasey, I didn't mean to be misleading about Josh's minor league performances.
mhayden
How long do you want to ignore this user?
Josh's bat speed looks fine. If he can hit 0.260+ with just the threat of power it makes this a pretty salty lineup.

Bullpen just not reliable though, and not sure where the help is going to come from -- even if we do get 1 or 2 of Perez/Holland/Harrison back, there's really not any starter you can effectively push to the bullpen.

When Feliz comes back I would never let him see the 8th or 9th innings.
