Not sure whether you'd characterize that Kinsler double as a fly ball or a line drive, but assuming that you call it a fly ball to center field (which it sorta was, even though it was a bit more like right-center field), that was his first fly-ball double to center field in 2009. Of his 21 doubles this season, 17 have been hit to left field.
Beautiful piece of hitting for a white-hot Michael Young, who plates a pair of runs with a hard-hit grounder through the right side...his seasonal line entering today's game was .329/.383/.540 and is on the rise, and I think what he has done this season has made some of his most ardent detractors (including myself, to a certain extent) look pretty silly, at least for the time being...
Joey do you think Young's year he has dad has anything to do with moving to third and not having to move as much? Therefore being less fatigued all season? At short even if he doesn't get to a ball he has to move a lot and on double plays and throws down, just a thought.

Justin: It might be a factor, albeit a minor one -- some of it is MY simply hitting over his head a little bit, but I suspect the biggest factor is Young not being hampered by a pair of broken fingers and having the confidence afforded by that health to have really strong PAs day-in and day-out...
You know, it sure did look like Blalock should have at least been able to block that low throw from Feldman...poor-hitting but elite-fielding players have value, but Blalock is/has become a huge detriment on both sides of the ball, and that really can't continue if the Rangers want to make a legit September run at this thing...
Hank today: 0-for-3, three ground outs. Kill me.
Fifteen swinging strikes and 10 strikeouts today for Feldman -- enormously impressive.
Feldman becomes the first Rangers pitcher to strike out more than 10 hitters in a single start since Matt Perisho on October 3rd, 1999...
O'Day strikes out the side to inflate the Rangers' game total to 14 (!!!), and the Rangers begin the top of the ninth inning by staking runners on first and second base with nobody out...a nice series finale, to be certain, but the Rangers are going to have to start winning two out of every three games to keep pace with the Angels and Red Sox, much less overtake them...
Bases loaded, nobody out and Hank strikes out to complete an 0-for-4 day. This is disgusting.
Really Chris Davis could do what hank is doing when he was slumping and play better defense at 1st. I dont see why they haven't called davis up yet, and cut ties with Andruw or blalock.
