What's a little league walk? I've heard of little league HRs, not walks.

It’s actually called a little league steal.

It’s when you get a walk, and the opposition isn’t paying attention and you trot down to second base unchallenged.

Got ya, that I'm familiar with. I used to use something similar tagging up to home in softball. On shallow balls that you can't possibly score on, just stand on the bag looking disinterested. The instant the outfielder (almost always) lobs the ball in, I'd take off. The bases are only 60 feet in softball and I could run in my day, never failed. A few times I probably should have been out but the element of surprise would draw a poor throw home. Most times it was a stroll in the park.

Just got home from tonight's game, Bautista SUCKED. Tits on a boar hog. What is with this vagina? He swings for the fences on every pitch, even down in the count with two strikes. It's as if he's on his own one man team.

The Rangers won tonight 6-1, the Black and Blue Jays left about ten men on the bases. Horrible situational hitting. They made Nick Martinez look like Jim Palmer.... Somehow.

Enjoyed the game thoroughly, Bautista never got on base, took abuse from fans on his failures.

On a serious note, Donaldson is still on a bad wheel , as is Beltre. Neither looked good running the bases tonight. Donaldson damn near walked to first on a grounder, Beltre looked like a senior citizen rounding the bases on his home run in the 8th inning.

Tyson Ross starts vs Biagini tomorrow. Both starters have quite a bit to prove, hopefully bannister doesn't ride Ross like a cheap mule and send him to the DL.

To be honest, I teach chess on Monday evenings. Normally I watch the replay, but I saw the eighth and ninth inning meltdown when I got home. Same story, different verse. Didn't know who did the damage, not surprised he did some though.

All smack aside, he swings out of his heels on every at bat vs Texas. Carlos Gomez and Odor do that as well, drives me nuts. They're leaving a lot on the table.

Tyson Ross just solved the Black and Blue Jays early innings woes.....

Looks like batting practice. Even the outs in the first inning were loud. Hamels and Griffin can't get off the DL soon enough

Rangers win the finale, 11-4. Somehow we jumped on Stroman early and often. He's a dominant arm, glad we don't see him again

Bautista... Went 3 of 15 in the four game series... Only one rbi. Also badly misplayed a fly ball today. It's as if he plays on his own team some times..

Ryan Goins went to college (Dallas Baptist) with my wife's 2nd son. Pulling for him.

Make that 0-9, while being outscored 67-23 when trying to reach .500

Jays take the season series 4 games to 3 against Texas.

I see Odour had 2 hits in the series, i wouldn't be chirping Joeybats, you forgot to mention that one of his hits was a bomb.

I like Gogo, decent bat with a great glove and good range.
