BS...
...you don't blame the umpire when the entire team sucks balls when runners are in scoring position.

There is no such thing as global warming. David Murphy was cold, so he turned the sun up.

Botts
won't see another AB for awhile.

That's what I'm thinking
Wash's body language suggested disgust.

Eckstein
Got that pitch called a ball for him. Must have been all his grit clouding the ump's vision.
I could go for a hammy walk off.
But now Im scared for the 10th. Who on earth are we going to use?
Gerald Laird is my hero.
if we have a walk off in the 9th
we won't need another pitcher...
Grieve: The Yanks have struggled so far. - Lewin: Yeah, cry me a bag of money.
Well, i know that....
All I meant was that I would of course like a walkoff, but its still like 65% chance we see a 10th.
that is if CJ can get out of this inning.
Gerald Laird is my hero.
I'm guessing they don't
want to have him pitch 2 for some reason

Botts appears to need regular at bats to get into a groove
but he is never going to get regular at bats if he keeps hitting like crap in his limited opportunities. As much as I am a fan of his and want him to succeed, I just can't see him doing it.
This might be a dumb time
to bring this up, considering how good our starting pitching has been, and how well Chris-John is doing in the 'pen, but I still think it's a huge waste of talent not letting CJ start.

Let's say
CJ is shifted to the rotation. Would you shift Jack to the closer role and Rupe to set up man?

Yes.
One of those two should be stretched out -- BGL with a higher ceiling obviously.

Jack to closer, yes
Not sure on setup. Guardado, Rupe, German... you go with whoever earns it.

CJ gets the strike
and then throws up his arms... I think he was saying "that was the same damn pitch that was a ball before"
Grieve: The Yanks have struggled so far. - Lewin: Yeah, cry me a bag of money.
the pitch I was referring two was 6" higher than the one Botts struck out on
Grieve: The Yanks have struggled so far. - Lewin: Yeah, cry me a bag of money.
he's just douchey...
...when he's winning, he's all smiles...
when he's losing, he slams his clubs, and yells out loud...
just so he can let everybody know his frustration... almost unprofessional.

Tiger Woods

Pretty pathetic...
"He throws that curveball so hard and it snaps 12 to six like you've never seen." - Matt Kemp on Clayton Kershaw
I wanna see the 'electronic strikezone'
on the screen for every pitch from here on out. I've seen strange zones, but there's no telling where he thinks these pitches are...
Grieve: The Yanks have struggled so far. - Lewin: Yeah, cry me a bag of money.
Is there a reason...
they don't just have that in the bottom corner during the pitches to track it?

too much stuff on the screen as it is
but when there are as many close calls as this, I'd like to see them use it more often... even thought it isn't "official", it gives you a better idea of where the ump is seeing the pitches... and you can see how consistent or inconsitent an ump is
Grieve: The Yanks have struggled so far. - Lewin: Yeah, cry me a bag of money.
BGL = WHIP beast.

MLB has instituted a new "floating strikezone"
they thought with all the steroids and stuff, the teams needed a new challenge, so Selig has started this new floating strikezone initiative... this is the first game for the new addition, apparently..
Grieve: The Yanks have struggled so far. - Lewin: Yeah, cry me a bag of money.
yeah, looked like he got tagged

I'd love for him to be in the game.

no context in today's game.

As bad of a loss as I have ever seen.
Nothing has changed with this team. Fuck it all.

I don't see this
as a bad loss. All you can hope for is to be in a position to win, and they were today. Bad losses to me are games like the home opener - there were a lot of those last year.
by Randy Richardson on Apr 13, 2008 5:52 PM CDT up reply actions
no.
...this is a bad loss. you had three leads in this game... and still lost.
german and nippert... this falls on them.
this was a must win.

Man on 3rd, less than two outs.
How many years do we have to say it...
If you can get him home, get the fuck off the team. Man on 3rd with nobody out should be a garunteed run.
5-7
that one hurts... LAnaheim Angles comin' up. RISP hitting has to improve or this is gonna be a long season... again.
Grieve: The Yanks have struggled so far. - Lewin: Yeah, cry me a bag of money.
It's funny
We all thought our pitching would be what held us back this season... the pitching has been fine, but the offense reeks.
I just...
have to sit here and laugh at how much I hate everything to do with baseball at the moment.

See you in a week
After the round of expletives that just came out of my mouth, I've been grounded Rangers baseball for a week. At least the kids were outside. See y'all next Sunday.
get's worse folks...
...bullpen is overworked... no days off in sight...
and jason bleeping jennings takes the mound tomorrow.
maybe
I wouldn't be surprised if they put Wright on the DL and send Feldman down and then called up Littleton and Francisco.
by Randy Richardson on Apr 13, 2008 5:55 PM CDT up reply actions
Right
Not many more moves than that, except to DFA someone, right?
...it's the weekend, so why the hell not?
yeah
although I'm not sure how long there leash is going to be with German, The knock on the guy is that he can't throw strikes, and he obviously still can't throw strikes.
by Randy Richardson on Apr 13, 2008 6:06 PM CDT up reply actions
Kindof
we will proably call up Wes or FF when Feldman gets send down.
"Why do you think you're baseball jesus?" AirJordan to LonestarJon
lost weekend
what an incredibly disappointing weekend. I made it a point to watch all three games. Our situational hitting is horrible, and I constantly have the feeling that Wash is in over his head.
That'll sum it up for me as well.
