Game Day
http://mlb.mlb.com/mlb/gameday/y2007/gd.html?2008_03_17_seamlb_texmlb_1
It's baseball. You don't always get what you want, and you don't always want what you get. --Ed Coffin
glowing report on Holland
a lefty with low to mid nineties velocity and a couple of secondary pitches. One to watch.
Hambone, Hambone where you been? I been around these bases, and I'm going again.
When
is a game going to be on TV.
Why the hell do I get Astros games?
"but the years of drug abuse tore up my immune system pretty good."-Josh Hamilton
Is Baek going
to be one of Seattle's starters? Long man?
"This has been a team effort. No one or two guys could have done all this." - Casey Stengel, after the Mets lost 120 games in 1962
Are there other places to follow the game?
I'm at work so I can't do audio or anything like that, and gameday still says "warmup."
Botts
with the warning track power.
Hambone, Hambone where you been? I been around these bases, and I'm going again.
OT: Hamilton

For the second year in a row, the Academy gets it right. That means next year is going to be UGLY.
Newberg reporting..
..Jennings throwing 86-89.. that's a good sign. With Padilla feeling better, and Jennings velocity coming back, I feel better that we have a chance to get through April around .500.
BTW-- Has anyone looked at the April schedule? Frick'n brutal.
5 v LAA
4 v BOS
3 v DET
not really
Laaaaa is without Lackey and Escobar and Red Sox could be without Beckett. I would say its a tough schedule but not brutal.
Pitchers, like poets, are born not made. -- Cy Young
Hope
the Rangers face Dontrelle Willis.
He's going to get so exposed in the AL...
"but the years of drug abuse tore up my immune system pretty good."-Josh Hamilton
You have
some sort of basis for that opinion or are you just talking out your ass?
"F@&^% you Jimmy Buffett! F@&^% you you suck!
Willis
He put up a 5.17 era last year against a weaker league while allowing RHB to put up a .913 OPS against him.
I think he is going to struggle.
He has
a career 2.85 era in inter-league play and while he had issues last year against rhb his career opponent ops from the right is .772. While I'm sure he would like that number to be lower I don't think that's struggling territory.
"F@&^% you Jimmy Buffett! F@&^% you you suck!
Good point...
..regarding the injured pitchers.. could be our saving grace. If we can get through April at .500, and kill it in May (super weak schedule). We'd have a chance to make things interesting for JD at the trade deadline.
Interesting?
What would you like JD to do at the trade deadline if this club, as constructed, is contending? Would you trade away some of our prospects for a player who will be a free agent in a couple months? I wouldn't. If we are competitive this year it only bodes well for the future.

Dickey
IS he still throwing the knuckleball? I was always a little sad to see him struggle and get let go since he seemed to bleed Ranger blue.
botts struck out on one
but i think he doesnt use it all the time, just mixes it in now. i wasnt paying real close attention though.
Newberg
sounds very confident that Botts and Cruz would not get through waivers.
Hambone, Hambone where you been? I been around these bases, and I'm going again.
Also
stating that Feldman may be tried as a starter. Let's see... he can't get out of one inning without giving up 4 runs, let's spread that over 5 innings.
"But the major difference is where Showalter tried to overthink everything Washington at times seems like he isn't thinking at all. " - rentz
Well, another thing about that
Is Feldman has not started a game since he was with the AZL Rangers in 2004.
Combine that with the fact that he's a horrible pitcher, and you've got one doomed experiment.
Just for fun, here's something wierd: It's Feldman! From accross the hall!
Texas Rangers YTMND
I can now say I've seen it all.
For the second year in a row, the Academy gets it right. That means next year is going to be UGLY.
haha good point!!
that is a really BAD IDEA.

Come on Jon...
do you really think that means anything?
"The only good is knowledge and the only evil is ignorance."-Socrates
Yes
It means we're not performing well against our division rivals. Spring training or no, those are still the same guys we'll have to contend with the most during the regular season - not performing well against them now (even when their lineups and pitching staffs are watered down with minor-leaguers) is not a good sign.

Never tried this, lemme know if anybody has probs.

no
I get this message
"Jose the director of the new National Clandestine Service says you do not have permission to view this page.
Perhaps Odeo and Jose will declassify this page in the future, at our discretion."
Pitchers, like poets, are born not made. -- Cy Young
Yeah
I don't know what I'm doing. It seemed so simple, yet it turned out like crap.
I'll keep trying to figure it out. Don't hold yer breath.
