    Guduan is frustrating to watch. Still just a thrower.

    Straight fastball. Missed his spot several times.
    Decent shaped slider but again, missed his spot several times.

    Neither does but i would lean more to kemp over white he's off to a bad start but has shown that he can hit on this level white on the other hand has been to inconsistent at the plate.

    You almost gotta wonder if it's the yips. A guy who gets to that level should at least be able to put a fastball in the zone semi-consistently.

    The slider seems much more workable.

    Yeah I thought he’d be money. I think he will be fine, just not right now.

    This is backwards. White has the better, albeit still short, track record. White hit .276/.354/.533 with a 141 OPS+ last year.

    I didn't catch that vibe at all. Are you really upset that normal intelligent people hate the wave and are not ashamed to say so?

    I would have no problems with a rule that bans the wave.

    It literally encourages fans to not pay attention to the game... not to mention it can bother players enough to distract them especially when they're at bat. Most stadiums do discourage/dissalow fans entering the field box sections mid AB.

    Now, maybe if you're cheering for a 100 loss team and you literally have no care about the outcome of the team as it regards to the season/playoffs/competing, then wave away. A wave during a playoff game is probably more embarrassing than any other act fans can commit in any sport (other than not showing up or arriving extremely late).

    Normal intelligent people not me also like the wave. The only thing worse than the wave is people complaining about the wave at a game.

    No I’m not upset that you or intelligent people don’t like the wave. Blum was speaking as a player when he expressed his thoughts on the wave and it isn’t about him or any other player. That’s what made me feel some way. Blum can just think of it as a mound visit from the fans if he’s that butthurt about it.

    The rangers are literally that team and were getting wrecked. I feel like I’m defending the wave at a baseball game when I don’t like the wave. I’m going to stop.
    How would they enforce a ban tho lol. Who gets thrown out? You gonna throw out some schmuck who had to stretch when some random event was going on around him? Get that ****ing waving son of a b**** outta here.

    Plenty of idiots get thrown out of games for doing stupid stuff, some far less disrupting than starting a wave.

    Most people who try and organize/start a mass wave are pretty freakin obnoxious... especially if you're right next to them. You know who those people are because it usually takes a good 5-10 minutes of effort (and yelling at all patrons in the section) before they actually get something going.

    But the guy who’s not involved who’s stretching randomly from several sections away from where the wave started is safe from the stadium moderators? That’s all I want to know.

    I thought that was ridiculous. Fireworks and the music from “The Natural” on a solo homer to make it 7-2 in the 9th. Really? I realize that their current 10-8 record is a smokescreen as they’re headed for another Ranger-like last place finish...but have some sense about the game at hand.
