This is how my luck goes
Yesterday, I didn’t want to watch because Jennings was pitching, but the game was at a time I could watch. Today, I’d like to watch because someone besides Jennings is pitching, and the game comes on at 11 a.m. my time, when I’m at work.

He can hit
4th, because he is a power hitter, he can drive in runs. Or 1st, because he is a natural lead off hitter. He has lots of versatility to the team because he can hit anywhere in the lineup.
He was Victor’s guest on the pregame.
...it's the weekend, so why the hell not?
Yep
That .334 career OBP of his just screams leadoff hitter.

Obviously Wash doesn't want him on the team....
Time for JD to give Wash some orders or let Jason get a shot in another system. Who cares if it turns into a Hafner gaff, having the guy on the team for only keeping the bench warm is ludicrous.

Huh
Tag just mentioned that it may have been a hit and run since Murphy didn’t have a very a good jump on that steal and was looking back the whole way (probably true). Why would you hit and run with Melhuse (even if it was a 3-1 count)?
What happened to my old signature?
But I'm told
every time he is at the plate, its a hard hit, right at someone …

Nobody covers on a steal attempt, with a left hander up there thats shortstops ball and young gets the error.
I think he needs to get back on the stuff
that had him gain 25 lbs of muscle in one offseason.

Young gets the E
cause it would be a shame to give Melhuse his first error in 118 games on that crap…

its kind of interesting
2 on, no outs and you’re playing a style that minimizes the number of runs. the way this team is playing, you’re lucky to get 1 run. not sure if cat not bunting would have changed the outcome any but it does drop the chances of a big inning.
i’m still happy wtih a bunt – seems hard enough to get a run, i’ll take them in one run spurts.

back to reality though . . .
the Rangers were up 3 and facing a mediocre pitcher – they should be playing for a big inning, not playing for one run.

Before
the season started, I thought that last year’s poor start was bad luck and thought that Washington needed another year to judge him by, but with the bad baseball that has been happening lately, we may need a managerial change just to shake the players up. Ha Ha….. Threaten them with bringing Showalter back.

Come on, dude. This team is bad.
The AL is insanely tough this year and the Rangers just don’t have the horses…. except Murph. I say this for fear that Murph may retaliate and kill me just by blinking.

I didn't say they were good
I said they aren’t a 100-loss team. 100 losses is like going winless in the NFL, it means your are absolutely horrible. This isn’t an absolutely horrible team, just not a good one.
Grieve: The Yanks have struggled so far. - Lewin: Yeah, cry me a bag of money.
Aaaaaaaaactually it's not like that
No team has gone 0-16. Teams have posted 100 L’s. I get your attempted point however.

From 1918-48 - the last five which came under Carpenter’s watch - the Phillies had one winning season and never finished higher than fourth place in the NL. En route to a 42-109 finish and a fifth straight 100-loss campaign, second baseman Danny Murtaugh famously remarked, “If the Phillies ever win two games in a row, it would be grounds for a Congressional investigation.”

Then I guess your only option is to ...
piss and moan about it.
That’s basically what these game day threads have devolved into—a place where a limited number of users come to piss and whine about how the baseball world is ending in the middle of April. What in the hell did you people expect in a rebuilding year with a team where almost everything has to go right for them to win?
Tomayto/Tomahto
You say piss and moan…. I call it tough love.
Gerald Laird, the Man, the Father, the Son, the Beast, the One, the Savior, the Immaculate.
Not really.
Tough love is where you don’t bail a relative out of jail when they’ve been arrested for the 5th time. You benefit your target by teaching them a valuable lesson.
Bitching is just bitching any way you cut it. Your whining (and everyone else’s) isn’t doing a damned thing for the Rangers (or the rest of us for that matter).
And
bailing them out for the umpteenth time is great for their psyche as well. Keep up the good work, it’s doing wonders.
Gerald Laird, the Man, the Father, the Son, the Beast, the One, the Savior, the Immaculate.
what the hell is wrong with you
you do realize that the rangers cannot hear what you are saying right? only we get the benefit of your annoying pessimism. so, how about you give it a rest
scap load or die
Nobody is bailing anybody out.
Believe it or not, the team’s opinion of itself has absolutely nothing to do with anything you or I say on these boards, so your implication that you not bitching so much means you are endorsing poor results, it wouldn’t matter if that was true.
Game day threads used to be fun, even when the team was losing, because you could talk about baseball without this constant barrage of negativity. Most people that post in the thread now have no interest in discussing the game, but seem to only show up for the purpose of bitching about anything and everything under the sun. If it bothers you that much, go spend your energy on something that won’t put you into a perennial state of despair. We’re only 14 games into the season and that bullshit has already worn this place down. And as a long term follower of this blog, I don’t really relish the idea of spending the next six months with a bunch of pissy johnny-come-lately types that can’t add anything to a discussion beyond constant whining.
I've been reading
this blog for almost two years now and the game day threads haven’t really changed that much to me over that time frame. Are you taking your frustration on the Rangers out on us “pessimistic posters”? You guys are gonna get the bad with the good, when it comes to this blog’s increasing popularity. Might I suggest a preferred posters Game Day thread.

you can’t just tone down the complaining a little? i don’t know why you have to protect this right as sacrosanct. more than a few people have expressed that they don’t like everybody bitching all the time. you can’t just oblige?

I’m not on here everyday, I don’t post in every thread. I’m here maybe once, twice a week. Me toning down what I do is hardly going to have an impact on this hatred you have for the “bitching” people do. I’ve never put the team down, I’ll talk about a personnel move or a terrible play in the game but “this team sucks” or the like have never came from me. Regardless of what I do, its not gonna stop.

Sending any player up to face one of the best closers in the game is unfair.
To me
failing against a great closer is not the problem. The problem is standing there with the bat on his shoulder. He should know he will not get the close call, and with two strikes should be swinging.
