ok
But when you don't have a defensive position you might want to mix in something other than a single to your repetoire
how do you know
he's never gotten a chance to play D he looks good tonight

wow
how many balls have been hit his way? He looked terrible last year in the outfield. Thats all I had to go on.
all
I remember from last year is one play he looked pretty silly

to answer your question
My family was family-friends with the Valentines, of the Bobby persuasion. He was fired, but my brother and I stuck with them.
My father passed away when I was 8
a few months later, Bobby showed up in Milford and held a baseball clinic for younger kids. The purpose was to raise money for my family.
We never asked him to do it, he just did it. He's a great human being.
Wha happen?
to the rest of your post...I just read something about a baseball clinic. Then it was gone?
...it's the weekend, so why the hell not?
weird...

weird....totally
Very cool of Bobby to do.
No wonder you hold allegience to the Rangers.
...it's the weekend, so why the hell not?
I remember
seeing him blow up at the grounds crew at old Cleveland Municipal Stadium one night. It had rained a lot before the game and the Rangers' dugout was filled almost completely with water. Bobby V taught me some words I had never heard before. Greatness.
There's one word that describes baseball - `You never know.' - Joaquin Andujar
I went to the Rangers game the day he got fired
Some people in the cheap seats at the old Arlington Stadium had a sign that read, "Hey, Bobby! Winn-Dixie's hiring!"
Ahhhhh nice.
That's pretty cool. I grew up as a kid going to games at old Arlington Stadium and I remember just waiting for a Bobby V. blowup.

I like...
how Adam Jones has his eyes closed and looks like a 3rd grader in his Yahoo box photo.
"I know you're a bit dense but no, it doesn't. Obviously lying isn't a problem for me."
defense
The outfield defense is definitely improved this year.
The infield, not so much ... hopefully they'll pull out of the defensive funk earlier this year. They have been katastrophically bad in nearly every game.
But it's refreshing to see some outfield D. When was the last time the Rangers had this kind of talent and depth in the outfield defensively?
Ummm......hold on.
I'll have the answer for ya in a bit.

Thats like 70 at bats
by a player who had barely played organized baseball in years. as far as im concerned he has no real history vs lefties. we will have to wait and see.
Gerald Laird is my hero.
Couldn't be better
than Tuesday Night Crap Rap with Sturm & Donny Doo.
...it's the weekend, so why the hell not?
I abhor rap
but I was groovin' a bit on the old school stuff. Plus, I love Donny Doo.
...it's the weekend, so why the hell not?
Really?
I thought it was the best show thus far. Hopefully they get a little acoustic douche going tonight.
well admittedly
i didnt really listen. i left the ticket on as it started, couldnt figure out why rap was on, and turned it off 10 minutes in.
i listened to a lot of the alien bit last night. that was...interesting.
Gerald Laird is my hero.
texas infield
what is it 8 games now and 10 errors? Thats gotta lead the AL
yo soy Horsedooty!
I soloed in the mile high club.
1-1 tie in the Oak vs Tor game
Jays coming to bat in the bottom of the 9th right now. All negative energy needs to be thrown torwards the A's relief pitching right now....Go Jays!

Looks like Gabbard will at least be eligible for the win
When has the Rangers rotation started a season this strong.

When I hit the Z key, it continuously goes up to his post about his father and cycles back through to the newer posts.
Doing this for everyone else?

pfft
i check the score to see a rout, and they are up by 3 in the third at home? thats not worth bragging about. and now its 1.
Gerald Laird is my hero.
hooray for extra innings in the A's game
I hope they lose in a 20 inning battle. Kill's the Blue Jays and A's bullpen.
Anyone
know the pitch count for Gabbard?

another quality start
works for me. so that makes 6 for, 2 against.

Botts?

Another
good outing by Gabbard.
Good number 4 starter.
"He throws that curveball so hard and it snaps 12 to six like you've never seen." - Matt Kemp on Clayton Kershaw
He'll probably be starting on Monday
That's why we don't want to see him until then. I don't have a problem with him in releif at all, though.
Oh
I havnt gotten a chance to read all the stuff about what the DH is going to do to the rotation.
Ok then.
Gerald Laird is my hero.
Yeah, it's either him, Rupe, or Nippert
Unless they call someone up from AAA. And since Nippert sucks, and Rupe is gonna get sent down Saturday...

let's not forget that he has faced two of the weaker lineups in the AL - I don't see him having this level of success against better teams

oops
I was thinking his first start was against the Mariners. Anyway, I still believe he won't have a lot success this year
by Randy Richardson on Apr 10, 2008 9:08 PM CDT up reply actions
the orioles O doesnt look that bad
Roberts, Markakis, Scott are all good... Huff/Millar arnt too great for dh/1b but they can hit a bit.
although yes it is still probably one of the weaker lineups in the AL.. its not a joke lineup. its not the giants.
Gerald Laird is my hero.

botts
all i ask is that he be given the same amount of time in the majors as cruz was before passing judgement
botts has a track record in the minors of being slow, then figuring out the level and being solid. I can only hope that if they fall out of contention early he gets more chances in the field and at dh

man, two innings in a row theyve had major chances for a walkoff win and cant do it.

My guess
Nippert goes on waivers on Saturday to make room for Mendoza.
Rupe gets sent down on Monday to make room for Murray.
Murray is sent down on Tuesday, and Loe, Littleton or Francisco comes up.
by Adam J. Morris on Apr 10, 2008 9:21 PM CDT up reply actions
Well...
They probably figure he's got a decent chance of clearing waivers.
by Adam J. Morris on Apr 10, 2008 9:24 PM CDT up reply actions
What I would do
Already put this somewhere else but I would push Mendoza back to Monday and start Rupe on Saturday. For one we play the Angels on Monday and I would much rather have a full time starter facing them than a spot guy. It may throw off Mendoza a little but thats a risk you have to take.
i mean
say what you want but broussard is clearly a better defender than botts. there's no question
scap load or die
broussard
i wouldnt say he's much better, especially considering how little botts has played first the past few years
"When we're mad we'll use our words. Then the rest of the world will play nice with us. And the only boom-booms will be in our pants." - Ralph Wiggum
what?
is that a typo? why wouldn't the guy who plays 1st regularly be better than the guy who doesn't?
scap load or die
what im saying is
botts isnt bad for a guy whos not played first recently.
and from what ive seen this season broussard isnt good enough defensively to be a "Defensive replacement" for anyone

Honestly,
I don't see why you don't think they are good.
The are exceptional, seriously.
"He throws that curveball so hard and it snaps 12 to six like you've never seen." - Matt Kemp on Clayton Kershaw
The thing
is Antione Wright is a 23 year old athletic shooting guard that is shooting over 50 percent from 3 pointers with us.
His field goal percentage is around there as well.
His defense is also really good, so what is your argument?
He is younger than Devin Harris.

Except...
...Cat has been a good hitter pretty much his entire career.

And this screws up the defense unbeleivably. Another great manigerial decision by Ron Washington.

i have no idea
why the long man is out there and the 2 guys you signed in the offseason for this exact situation arent in the game.

Josh Lewin doesn't know how to have fun.
"He throws that curveball so hard and it snaps 12 to six like you've never seen." - Matt Kemp on Clayton Kershaw
ok
I don't see that either of those guys are necessarily better given recent performance and the fact that Wright had piched a solid 1.1 innings already. It may not have been your choice, but I wouldn't say it was a bad choice.
by Randy Richardson on Apr 10, 2008 9:41 PM CDT up reply actions
How is Guardado not better than Wright?
Again, those two (Guardado and Fuku) are supposed to be in the bullpen to be called upon in those exact situations. There is absolutely no way you can tell me they should not have been in the game instead of Wright.
had you just watched
the previous 2 innings, Wright was doing well and Wash decided to go with the guy with the hot hand. I understand that you would have done differently - that's your opinion.
by Randy Richardson on Apr 10, 2008 9:45 PM CDT up reply actions
Yes
And it's the rational opinion - and Wright should have been gone after the leadoff double. Washington didn't even have a contingecy plan up in the bullpen. It's just bad managing, by a bad manager.

not to be a downer, but...
is CJ just going to stop striking batters out alltogether now, and just go a perfect 40-40 in save opps?
I mean, I have him - in both of my fantasy leagues - and trust me, I don't mind, but I'm curious. Maybe I should pick up Jack Benny? He will more than make up for it, by striking out EVERY SINGLE BATTER he faces from now on...
to be above .500 feels so good

It
was only his 3rd save, its not like it was his 25th save. He has pitched like 3 innings? I wouldn't worry since he is probably still getting adjusted to the season.
"He throws that curveball so hard and it snaps 12 to six like you've never seen." - Matt Kemp on Clayton Kershaw
He
has been trying to be more efficient as far as throwing pitches. He is not try to get too cute instead just throw strikes and let the batters get themselves out.
"Why do you think you're baseball jesus?" AirJordan to LonestarJon
Yep
I'd rather have effiency from my closer, so he can pitch on back to back days (or in this case, back to back games) than a ton of strikeouts. As long as he's recording outs, and not allowing a ton of baserunners, I'm happy.
and I don't disagree
I'd seen all the reports of pitching efficiency, him trying to conserve pitch counts etc. - just wonder if he's going to go from a strikeout per inning average down to like a strikeout every 3rd appearance...that's all

Surely this has been discussed
a million times before, but it drives me crazy how Wins are determined for relief pitchers. I understand the way it works, but how can it be justified that Jamey Wright gets a Win tonight?
I know it is futile to even think about it, but you would think there could be a way to keep something like that from happening. He gave up the lead, he didn't win the game.
Ok, End Rant.
its one of those stupid baseball traditions
that old timers wont change
Relief Wins
If I'm not mistaken (don't have time now to look for the link), FJM did a piece on how ridiculous that stat (wins) is just for reasons like this.
It could have been somewhere else but I'm pretty sure it was FJM.
