Game 6 game day thread

Texas Rangers @ Los Angeles Angels


Vicente Padilla v. Jon Garland...

Should be an interesting matchup...Garland is a low-walk, low-strikeout guy who puts the ball in play, so you may see the Rangers be a little more aggressive early in counts than they have been...

Go Rangers...

More Former Ranger news

Gabe Kapler is on fire. Hitting .462 with a homer and 4rbi so far.

5 rbi...

just had a sac fly. He's getting some AB's with Cameron out. Kapler was managing A ball for the BoSox last year, I didn't know that.

Meh...

does Young really need a day off from the field this early? Why not DH Bradley or Botts. Vasquez has already had a start this series.

Young

He's been sick, and has played like crap. I don't have a problem with him DHing today.

by Adam J. Morris on Apr 6, 2008 2:02 PM CDT to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

Except he hasn't

been hitting. I don't see why they wouldn't have just given him a day off and DH Botts.

My guess?

Washington wants to avoid the bad start the team had last year. There's been a lot of emphasis this spring on getting off to a better start than in 2007.

So he's going to ride the guys he has confidence in as much as possible early in the year. He doesn't believe Botts can hit, so he's not going to play him much early.

My guess is that, if the Rangers had won yesterday, guaranteeing they'd be coming home with a .500 record, Botts plays today.

Ok AJM...

If you are going to take shots at MY every chance you get then you have to stop defending OMFT when everyone says he sucks.

We all know that MY is not a great defensive shortstop, but I do know one thing...

MY's defense >>>>>>> OMFT offense

If he needs a day off because he has been ill that's fine. It's not because he has played like crap.

Umm...

What?

Young hasn't played like crap so far this season?

What are you watching?

And I'm not sure how I'm taking a shot at Young by saying that the fact he's played poorly so far this year probably factors into the decision to give him a partial day off.

by Adam J. Morris on Apr 6, 2008 2:08 PM CDT to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

It's 5 games...

into the year and he's been sick at least 2 or 3 of those. All I'm saying is that you like to take that shots at MY whenever you can. Give the guy a break, if he is hitting .200 with 15 errors at the ASB then knock on him.

All I'm saying is that you like to take that shots at MY whenever you can.

Bullshit.

I'm saying he's been sick and played like crap so far this season, so it makes sense for Washington to give him what amounts to a half-day off.

I fail to see how that's taking a shot at Young.

I get the feeling Wash was against keeping Botts.

It almost looks like he's sending a message to JD that he didn't want Botts and isn't going to play him. Buck used to pull crap like that, but I've wanted to give Wash the benefit of the doubt. If Botts' only function is to be to spell BB in cleanup time, then they're wasting that roster spot.

he would have

if he didn't take that awful ball right to his heart. If he didn't have the heart of a gorilla, he would be dead right now.

Gene Autry's number retired

I can't think of the other one though.

I can't remember his name

Something Branche - owned the Dodgers when Robinson came up.

Laird will be traded to some other team 5 minutes from now. His value is at an all-time best right now

I'm bringing you some glazed donuts for that!

Fukudome is hitting .500. I sure hope we didn't get the shit end of the Fuk

He's at least

an average MLB catcher.

We

have 3 of us. Maybe the list will grow when he keeps playing well or brings a good trade.

Laird projections

Might want to look mine up. I've been for him starting and Salty going to AAA.

Not that I'm right, just what I thought should happen.

by Chris Hanes on Apr 6, 2008 3:53 PM CDT to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

he's really not average

he's one of the better ones. Sure, he doesn't hit .300 every year, but he's solid for what his job is. He gets 40+% of runners. League average is somewhere around 30%.
