IAN KINSLER RUMORS & GOSSIP
Ian Kinsler Stumbles, Faceplants Into Bag While Trying to Slide Into Third Base (GIF)
Before going any further, it needs to be said that Rangers second baseman Ian Kinsler is a very good baserunner. Over the course of his eight-year career he’s stolen 160 bases and been caught just 33 times for a solid 83 percent success rate. He’s also generally known around baseball as a “heads-up” baserunner, rarely making a miscue or running into a giveaway out.
All that...
Must See: Ian Kinsler Faceplant Slide

Ian Kinsler totally faceplanted on a slide
Ian Kinsler is generally a master on the bases. 160 stolen bases in his career and only 33 caught stealing. He even has a +39.4 value as a baserunner throughout his career, according to Fangraphs. But this season his baserunning value is -0.9. I’m guessing all of the negative points came on the embarrassing slide seen above.

Rangers’ Ian Kinsler Learned How To Slide From Manny Ramirez
Texas Rangers’ Ian Kinsler apparently has attended the Manny Ramirez University of sliding, and that is not a good thing. Check out Ian’s very poor attempt at a slide on Thursday when his Rangers beat the Tigers 10-4. Facepalm would be one way to describe the slide.

GIF of Ian Kinsler eating dirt and then some sliding into third base
Ian Kinsler went from first to third on an Elvis Andrus single Thursday night against the Tigers and he certainly got his money’s worth. One has to admire Kinsler’s hustle. And pigs have to admire Kinsler’s desire to play in the dirt. The Russian judge gave him a 7.5.
