I have figured out what his weakness is

He goes after too many bad pitches up and away. Three pop flys to the left side of the diamond if I'm counting right. He needs to lay off the stuff up and away.

Just got home from Austin

and looks like last night was another pitching gem and that Brou is pretty good and the Padilla Flotilla is doing its thing again. And Mike Young's contract extension still hasn't started, yay!

Excellent.

the truth.

And the Mavs win.

I'm utterly floored.

It was incredible comeback

Add to that the great game by the Stars, the Rangers keep this up......

One heck of a day for Dallas sports

Hate to break it to you

but it was pretty good. Nothing truly special but some clutch shots by Dirk and some energy by the team that I haven't seen in a while.

Vlad going hitless against the Rangers?

could this be for real?

Grieve: The Yanks have struggled so far. - Lewin: Yeah, cry me a bag of money.

by WhipSmart on Apr 6, 2008 5:11 PM CDT   0 recs

And Vlad got struck out

What a historically awful game for Vlad against the Angels.

by Gdawg1 on Apr 6, 2008 5:11 PM CDT   0 recs

First Time?

I know that we officially broke Vlad's streak against us during Buck's last year, however that was done cheaply with walks. IMO, this is the first time we've actually shut the dude down.

by rcreative on Apr 6, 2008 5:13 PM CDT   0 recs

I think so

I can't remember a game where he didn't at least get a walk from the Rangers.

Heya Brandon!

PacMan fever seems to have hit a temporary lull; there's been little to no action over the past week :(. We can only look at so many mocks before we memorize the complete resume of every projected first round talent.

possibly

he hasn't seen a lot of work so far and Monday is an off day

Nice inning

by Benoit.

I really like what I'm seeing from this pitching staff (well, minus Nippert) in the first 6 games.

Murphy

impressive start to the year

by Randy Richardson on Apr 6, 2008 5:21 PM CDT   0 recs

Evan Grant

In 20 DH starts in his career, he's now hitting .425 with a .479 on-base percentage.

link

We should use him more as a DH since his defense already sucks.

The Legend of The Murph

It just keeps on growing every time he is on the field.

by Gdawg1 on Apr 6, 2008 5:23 PM CDT   0 recs

Isn't that the second time

that Cat got a little grounder like that down the 1B line and the 1B underhand tossed it to the pitcher to get him out?

by Gdawg1 on Apr 6, 2008 5:24 PM CDT to parent up   0 recs

thats our 2nd steal of the year

back under a .200 average and under a .230 obp yet at the same time proving all doubters unquestionably wrong =)

by DSheppard on Apr 6, 2008 5:27 PM CDT   0 recs

He's a classic

bottom of the lineup guy. A good short-term solution. Once he gets a couple of singles and some bloops, he'll be worth something at the deadline.

Every time Padilla pitches...

the game is slow until the final out.

Escher

He's going to win the LSB bracket I think. I looked last night, I believe he can't lose now.

Those were also my final 2. So much for my 1st place spot.

yep

offday tomorrow means there is no reason he shouldn't be able to pitch in Tuesday's game and you don't want your closer going that long without an outing.
