Baldelli in his first real slump....

of the season.

He went 0-13 in the Ranger series, knocking his avergae down from .353 to .328.

I know he will break out of this soonm, but it was just a matter of time until he hit a skid like this. I have no doubt that he will break out of it soon and continue what is to be "AL Rookie of the Year".

He's got Anaheim this weekend, another pretty good club that has not great but decent pitching.

C'mon Rocco!! Settle down man and get it going again!!

I dont think it was Rocco's fault, it was Texas' rock-solid nasty pitching...

No, he is in a minor slump, which i hope doesnt turn into a major slump. Youve got to expect a few from a rookie so young though

Well, looks like he broke it tonight, 3-4 with a HR, just like the Rocco we're used to seeing
