Yeah, whats up with that?
no. But I was addressing the guy who said the Mariners had no hitters around him. A lot of people think the Mariners have sucked for awhile but in 2007 they finished with 88 wins and were primarily dependent on offense which consisted of 8/9 of the guys in the lineup hitting .275 or better.
Yeah, whats up with that?
The Red Sox made kind of a joke of it with Martinez touching his head a lot just to with him and afaik it never became a real problem. Besides, if it bothers the guy just don't do it.
, keep it coming Beltre...
3 games into a 162 game season. Tbh i was wondering which Beltre salad tosser would be the dumbass to bump this thread after the GS
Well right now you are the dumbass my friend until this guy lays an egg like you predicted...Your status could possibly change but until then,......
Beltre is currently batting .118, bad mistake to premature ejaculate after one ing home runWell right now you are the dumbass my friend until this guy lays an egg like you predicted...Your status could possibly change but until then,
Beltre is currently batting .118, bad mistake to premature ejaculate after one ing home run.....Beltre is hitting the ball very hard almost every at bat this season..Not worried one bit about his average but yes it VERY early..
Have you even seen any games? If you had seen some games you will see that beltre is knocking the ball around but unfortunatly is not finding the holes in the defense..If you actually knew anything about baseball you would realize there is a huge difference between batting .118 and not hitting the ball rather than hitting the ball very well but right at defenders. Baseball is game of percentages and as long as Beltre keeps hitting well his average will come around. Even with his % being low how many other mlb players have 4rbi's? Just wondering
I understand baseball well enough to know .118 sucks royal regardless of how "hard" the ball is hit. You don't, I guess.
I second that about Beltre
I don't care about the Rangers. They're gonna win their division in a cake walk this season regardless of Beltre. I'm just laughing at anyone who thinks one of the most famous contract year s in professional sports was gonna live up to the long term deal he was given based off production during a contract year.
Why do you think he was basically Boston's best and most consistent batter last year, yet they more or less let him leave for nothing in spite of that without making any effort to resign him? It's not like they can't afford it, and it's not like they had someone waiting on the wings at 3rd (Youkilis had to move over to 3rd to fill the void). Does it not seem odd to you that Beltre can have an extremely productive season at the plate while playing gold glove type defense at 3rd, but his team never goes out of its way to resign him?
The defense is what they signed him for. I'm still not sold on the signing, but the reason they got him was for his glove at 3rd and not the bat. In this lineup he doesn't have to e the most consistent hitter, just get on base and get some timely hits.
You can't start looking at batting average 4 games into a season. Wait at least a month then look to see where guys are at. 4 games is too short to get trends, we know Nelly isn't going to jack 162 homers this season.
But he's on paaaaaace!!!
You have already answered your own question. With Youk on the roster, Boston already had there starting 3b and with the trade for Gonzales at 1b Beltre was not needed anymore.Youk is a much better hitter than Beltre and although not as good defensivly as Beltre is still average at that spot. I have never justified the amount of $ Beltre got for his contract, but with rangers needing a 3b very badly it seems they were willing to overpay for this position out of need (ala Richard Jefferson).
OK, so you admit it's a bad contract way above what Beltre is really worth.
Thanks for playing. I never denied Beltre is capable of having a .255, 23 homer, 82 RBI season.
And no, Youk was not "their starting 3b". He's played 1B his entire career, and has said that he hates playing 3rd but will do it if the they need him to. He's not a natural 3rd baseman by any stretch of the imagination.
You don't sign a 3rd baseman that much money for defense only. , you don't even PLAY a 3rd baseman regularly if it's only for his defense. It's hard enough to even justify doing that with a 2B or SS.
You've gotta have solid hitting from the corner infield spots, that's just the way baseball is. If they have Moreland and Beltre aren't reasonably productive at the bat, this team is going to have problems in the long run.
The Rangers will regret giving Beltre this contractPERIOD
beltre sucks. all he's done for my fantasies is hit the grand slam. terrible pick for me. overhyped, overrated and overpaid. him.
too early to judge the signing yet. dude just make a sick grab at third vs the mariners
