That Rangers loss tonight by 16-7 was mind blowing. Shades of San Francisco in 2010. Oh my. Leaving me with a few heretical thoughts:
Like everybody else, I like Josh Hamilton. But how about sitting him? His injury obviously is keeping him from running and probably from hitting as well. Just lucky he can field. So far, anyhow.
How about intentionally walking Pujols henceforth? How many home runs do you want him to hit? Especially with runners on base? Walk him, please.
Can we stop with the errors (Ian, Elvis?), and get some power hitting back?
How about kicking that 1B ref out of the park for his obvious bad call? It started a Card rally that never stopped. They kicked out the stupid kid who threw the ball into the outfield, which was correct. Now the ref, if you please.
Not that Wash, or the commenters at BBTIA, would agree with No. 1, but what the hey, it’s time to drop the sentiment and get real.
THE TEXAS SCRIBBLER 
Well, look…I mean…it’s just…you…
Don’t know what to do with the Hambone. For me, minimum is drop him down to 7 or 8. I do trust the guy to tell me if he can hit the ball, catch the ball, or throw the ball. No question he’s struggling, but the options are limited. Move Gentry into CF, DH Josh, and you lose another banger.
Personally, I’d like to see Josh stand up and say, “I suck, and I’ll ride the pine, waiting for my Kirk Gibson moment.” Then Wash doesn’t fret about egos and crap (which he does, to a fault).
One game, over and done. Time for Holland to step up.
Holland, holy moly.
Whatever they do with Josh, they have got to walk Pujols from now on. Let him make history somewhere else.
