T1:

Deshields flies out F7
Choo bounces back to the mound, and Kazmir  takes his time, then nearly knocks Valbuena over with a 95 mph heater at the knees
Beltre...full count...walks
Fielder doubles off the LCF wall, Beltre scores
Napoli strikes out swinging

1-0 Rangers

You know, Beltre and Fielder are really good baseball players. Both are veterans who have been through a lot of playoff chases. It's wrong to think their not ready to drive nails.

Andrus sac bunt...Kazmir throws it into RF, Moreland scores
Pitch bounces, Andrus tries to take 2B, but is out 2-6
Odor grounds out 3U
Gimenez triples to LF as the ball bounces off the wall toward CF...Rasmus standing around picking his nose
Deshields hit by pitch
Choo...3-0...3-1...broken bat looper to LF, Tucker lays out, but he's slow as fuck.  Gimenez scores, Deshields to 3B
Beltre flies out to the RF corner, nice running grab by Springer

That wasn't Tucker's fault. That was just more of the fantastically shitty luck that they've been having this month. They've done plenty to hurt themselves, but they've gotten zero breaks, too. (Other than Lowrie's improbably HR, I guess.)

He's an incredible hitter, but he hasn't come through with men on over the last week or so when the team needed it. I have high expectations for him. It's a team game but there are a couple guys on every roster who are counted on more than others.

I like Conger's home run power and his tagging at home plate ability but it's sure nice to have Castro back for every other aspect of catching and hitting.

All we would need is about 20mm for a middle of the order bat and 10-15 more for a fireballer in the bullpen.  He can pocket the other 45-49mm or so.
