bradley in RF any time soon? he seems to be fine, wtith the onyl concern being wear and tear. how long are we going to have to deal with those concerns?

Oh god...

Any guy that still has frosted hair...
into his late 30s or whatever age Ric Renner is just wrong.

Real or not, it looks ridiculous.
I'll bet that as a kid Renner got punched in the face a lot.
I think as a kid...
...he was a big "Stray Cats" fan...

Nothing wrong with Stray Cats
Granted, I wasn't a kid at the time, but if he made himself in the image of Brian Setzer I support him.

I was wrong about Byrd earlier.
He's not hitting a little bit after all.
ok
with byrd and cat as offensive liabilities, the rangers are going to have problems scoring runs.
scap load or die
Cat
He's been hitting the ball hard of late. I think he'll be okay.
by Adam J. Morris on Apr 14, 2008 9:04 PM CDT up reply actions
you gotta be effing kidding me
how can you possibly say that with a straight face? even if you believed that, you would have to think the same for byrd.
your bias is intolerable sometimes
scap load or die
bah
i don't want to argue this point. all i know is that month of AB's is a good enough sample and that if he's still under .200 after a month, i'll renew my objections. at least byrd can play OF (regardless of what he just did)
scap load or die
not agreeing or disagreeing
but Young had an avg of .192 thru mid-May last season and still had over 200 hits. You can't read a whole lot into the first month, either way...
Grieve: The Yanks have struggled so far. - Lewin: Yeah, cry me a bag of money.
sure
but i don't necessarily like the track record. honestly though, who are they going to bring up to take cat's place? some other guy who can't play defense well? sort of a lost cause. just pointing out that you can't carry two OF's who are below Mendoza AND carry Botts who is basically a backup 1B exclusively.
scap load or die
Just catching up on the comments
Exactly how bad did Jennings suck?
And with the 22nd overall selection the Dallas Cowboys select Jonathan Stewart.
He pitched badly
but the defense didn't help him. Hamilton got a bad jump and let a ball fall in front of him and then threw the ball to the wrong person on a play and let a run score. Byrd let a ball that should have been a single get past him and result in a triple. Broussard turned a double play into only one out.
Even with all that said, he still pitched like absolute garbage.
those miscues lead directly to three runs scoring
even as bad as Jennings was tonite, it's a shame he has all 7 runs hanging around his neck.
Grieve: The Yanks have struggled so far. - Lewin: Yeah, cry me a bag of money.
Jennings sucks so bad that...
he's the worst pitcher on the Rangers' staff
There is no such thing as global warming. David Murphy was cold, so he turned the sun up.

Imagine how much sucking goes on in a gay brothel...
now double that, now double it again, and that's about the level of suckitude by Jason Jennings tonight.

Thanks
At least we didn't trade Taylor Buchholz, Jason Hirsh, and Willy Taveras for him!

are they really talking about how good the pitching has been?
you think they could pick another night - the SP tonight was not good
I know
I just don't want to here it tonight - I busy making love with my anger
Now there's a little defense.
And Littleton needs to hang around awhile.

I love what I'm seeing from Littleton tonight. He's throwing strikes and all his pitches have movement. Very encouraging.

Bingo....
It'll go back to normal in June. The Rangers will be 10 back and 5 below .500. The folks that show up for April and May will have gone on to reading something else on the internet and the diehards will still be here.

Jesus Ben!
Nice to see him run out that grounder. When the 1B bobbled the ball, he might have made it if he'd been running.
I don't even know you,
but every time a Rangers player doesn't run out a popup or grounder, I think "Athos is gonna be pissed."
by Randy Richardson on Apr 14, 2008 9:17 PM CDT reply actions
Yep.
I think everybody ought to follow Kirby Puckett's example and run hard on every ball in play. You never know when that's going to be the difference.
Just because they are playing like crap doesn't mean they shouldn't hustle and run each ball out
Maybe if they actually hustled on each play, their luck would change. Just yesterday Blalock decided to go into his homerun trot on his single off the wall. If he runs hard and ends up at second base, maybe the inning turns out different and we win the game.
Man, this pattern with RISP has got to break soon.
Leadoff extra-base hit and we can't get the runner past 3rd. That's getting ridiculous.
Wright?
what was wrong with Littleton?
Grieve: The Yanks have struggled so far. - Lewin: Yeah, cry me a bag of money.
he was at 33
so maybe so... I hope that's it and not some need to get Jamey in a game..
Grieve: The Yanks have struggled so far. - Lewin: Yeah, cry me a bag of money.
Wright needs some work
to see if he is returned from his injury
...it's the weekend, so why the hell not?
Did y'all see that
100 year old man, back there?
by Randy Richardson on Apr 14, 2008 9:21 PM CDT reply actions
Wright deliberate?
the reason he's so slow is he probably figures his service time is measured in minutes rather than years
Hoping the Rangers win
has become the equivalent of trying to pee in the corner of a circular room.
There is no such thing as global warming. David Murphy was cold, so he turned the sun up.
question?
what exactly do the Rangers work on during ST?
apparently not situational defense or hitting
My Depends
would like to say a hearty "Thank You" to Mr. Wright.
;)
...it's the weekend, so why the hell not?
Did Wright come in?
Gameday still showing Wes pitching.
or the last hour
whichever way you care to measure innings
odd.
Gameday showed Wright in the box score but kept adding the Wes' stats.
believe me
Wes does not want any "help" from Wright
haha the Electrician...
pulls the plug!
Being a Rangers fan is like having a 36 year old retarded son. You've got to have a lot of patience and not get depressed easily otherwise you're F*&ked.
Finally.
Nice to see a crappy call in the Rangers' favor.
Replay
I'd like to see where that shows up in there little strike zone box. I think it WAS a strike.
Probably
Laird caught that like a little league catcher, making it look awful.
by badradiorules on Apr 14, 2008 9:33 PM CDT up reply actions
if it was a strike
it was a NASTY pitch
Grieve: The Yanks have struggled so far. - Lewin: Yeah, cry me a bag of money.
It would help
If Laird actually framed the pitch. From the side view that pitch doesn't look as bad.
Vlad's career avg against the Rangers drops to .712

I love what that ump did right there
He knew Vladdy was staring at him, and he had to hear Soschia yelling, but he just turned his back on it and ignored it. So many umps wouldn't have done that. Nice to see an ump who doesn't want to make himself a focal point of the game.

Interesting post from sportsline blogger regarding Santana's success
"What do you expect? The Rangers have Marlon Byrd and Franky Cat in the lineup, back to back. Santana should mail Ron Washington a thank-you note after the game. Nothing is like getting a guy to hit into a double play when bases are loaded."

Hank was just barely on top of that pitch
if he had hit it a little lower on the ball, it would have been gone..

Hank's tripled his RBI total today!
Encouraging yet pathetic.

In his position, I'd pinch hit for Byrd

I'm not so sure...
he seems to be able to recall random facts and instances pretty easily and quickly to where it almost sounds like off the cuff. Plus he seems geeky enough to have somewhat of a baseball historian background.

Is not having good ABs lately
by Randy Richardson on Apr 14, 2008 9:55 PM CDT reply actions
Speaking of K-Rod
someone told me he shouldn't have been eligible for the post season that first year cause the Angels didn't add him in time or something, but the league just didn't catch it.
Could that possibly be true?
"Sabean did a good job on selling high on Liriano." Excel Hearts Choi
probably not
MLB is nothing if not anal about stuff like that...
Grieve: The Yanks have struggled so far. - Lewin: Yeah, cry me a bag of money.
I have heard that also
but I also heard something about how it was legal since he was only added after someone was put on the DL. Basically, I have no idea if you are right or not.

2 tickets to the game = $30.00.
2 hot dogs = $7.00. 2 beers = $15.00. 2 MY errors, 2 Laird popups with RISP, 2 Jason Jennings gopher balls, 2 Marlon Byrd GIDP = priceless. For everything else, there's Mastercard.

I've watched just about every one.
He made two errors in the first series while he had the flu. Since then, he hasn’t made any. His zone rating and range factor are both up from last year so far. Basically you’re propounding a stereotype that isn’t true—or have you just not been watching the games?
Athos
Are you suggesting that Young isn’t a below average SS?
Better to be judged by 12 than carried by 6.

Typically,
Athos is suggesting that Young cures cancer, walks on water, and feeds the multitudes with a loaf of bread and a couple of fishes.
"Before I leave, I once again condemn the despicable buffoonery of D.J. Cahill." - Huck
That's all true.
Of course, in spite of his ability to work biblical miracles, he is, at best, an average defensive short stop. But to read the game day threads around here, you’d think he hadn’t made a play all season. I was making the point that his lack of proficiency on defense has been grossly exaggerated so far this season—and I think the numbers (and games) bear that out so far.

I just want 1 well played game
good pitching, good defense, good offense
if it's not good enough, so be it - I just hate watching them give runs away
Post game
Wash said Jennings has "track record" and "we have his back". He sais "he is coming off of an arm injury and still needs time." Then why not let him rehab in the minors after putting him on DL? I don't understand why the rehab time is being served at the ML level.
Did they ask Wash....
what he would be doing for a job after the all-star break, seriously we could have Trey Hillman right now. Why would you give Murphy a rest against a right hander who isn't that tough?

I think this will be the first one i dont watch even in replay. Ill watch hanks HR then turn it off...
Gerald Laird is my hero.
I guess it's a good thing I've been busy
Doesn't sound like I've missed much this weekend.
And with the 22nd overall selection the Dallas Cowboys select Jonathan Stewart.
Since when
Is Buck Showalter on ESPN?

Funny....
watching the Mariners and Dickey just pitched in a 5-1 game that they are losing. Mariners annoucers were excited to have him.
Well, this is pretty sad..
We’ll be lucky to win 3 MAX on the road trip, so we limp home at probably 8-15..
That's ballgame for this season, might as well pack away the bats.Will Washington get the axe?Hey, it could be worse...
