Good game for Clinton after 8 IP.

raangers are looking really good
ever since that 7 game loosing streak
touchdown... touchdown... and st.micheals takes the lead.
So...
just got in, noticed no Millwood…
I saw one comment about a shoulder problem? I’m assuming no word since then?
Hmmm...
What keeps Canadians busy?

Frankie Franc with the heat once again,....
"I should apologize to girls for saying Sexson threw that helmet like a girl. I’m not even sure girls do that." - TAG 05/08/2008
Frankie Franc
I think he’s back
"When we're mad we'll use our words. Then the rest of the world will play nice with us. And the only boom-booms will be in our pants." - Ralph Wiggum
which takes most pitchers
a year and a half.
hes been “healthy” for a long time now.
great to see him actually look like his 2004 form again.
we could use the late inning help.
Gerald Laird is my hero.
no i saw that as long as he's
dealing and looks good keep him out there
touchdown... touchdown... and st.micheals takes the lead.
Barton and Cust coming up next inning
I’d think Guardado would face them.

I would think if FX2 is pitching this well you let him start the 7th
keep the bullpen from taking a big hit tonite..
Grieve: The Yanks have struggled so far. - Lewin: Yeah, cry me a bag of money.
completely and 100% OT
but.. this cant e real… can it?

"When we're mad we'll use our words. Then the rest of the world will play nice with us. And the only boom-booms will be in our pants." - Ralph Wiggum
We need to tack on 3 or 4 here
And get into their bullpen tonight
at the start of the game
josh and tom said that evelands ERA before 5 innings was like 2.03, but after it was like 5.2..
touchdown... touchdown... and st.micheals takes the lead.
Who called for a Laird homer tonight
Is this the spot
Well, a lineout to right instead
But at least he hit it hard.

He's been providing a very

Salty or Shelton?

Statistically.... it's Shelton

how long before they ship him out?
He can’t be here more than 5-10 more games can he… if he doesn’t turn it around?
They are both neck-deep in slumps right now
But yeah.
At the rate Salty’s going though, I’m afraid the Rangers will decide not to trade Laird if he doesn’t improve.

Vazquez will hit for Duran
next inning to lead off.
like to see eddy on the mound
THE ELECTRICIAN would not have been able to handle this
touchdown... touchdown... and st.micheals takes the lead.
I wish we would've kept riding
Frankie Frank while he was hot, but we’ll see what Everyday can do….

The only thing he is hurting these days is Oakland’s run production.
I would like to thank Bob Geren for batting him cleanup against us.

But Emil Brown’s been hot. They’d seriously be better off with him at cleanup than Thomas. Hey, we rolled with Marlon Byrd at cleanup last year…

not that i disagree with you in theory, im sure someone is doing better than thomas right now for the spot.

Yah
Good point. I suppose they could go with Barton third, and Cust at cleanup, if Barton would start hitting…

With Oakland's roster and Seattle's swoon
I could see the rangers finishing second this year…. a bit of a stretch but it could happen
with the rangers shaky staff, and weak lineup
i could see them finishing 4th… its to early to say anything. not even one-fourth of all the games have been played this year

no..
but I pray they release the dude, just the same. he’s torched more possible ranger victories than about anyone ever. Plus, PITCH THE DAMN BALL… those 60-90 seccond delays between every pitch is just not good baseball for anyone.

shockingly, sexson has not inspired his team to a hot streak.

i think its funny
how everybody pretty much thought the M’s where going to be terrible this year

why would you skip prom…
i love rangers baaseball.. but prom is just a blast

if I could go back and have the choice
I would have come to a game… cheaper and more fun.
and yes, I did have a date for my prom..

that the rangers have a legitimately good pitching staff

I guess since he already threw however many pitches warming up
that 15 now isnt THAT big of a deal. but its certainly puzzling.
someone better be warming up in case he struggles.
Gerald Laird is my hero.
Yep...
not sure I agreed with it, but even pitchers will tell you once they have already warmed up they may as well get into the game.

its a 4 run lead
and by doing this he is jeopardizing his best relievers health going forward

I really wouldn't go that far.

No because he didn't use a different reliever
Heck, use German. If he allows more than one baserunner, then it’s a save situation, and you bring on CJ.
A Lonestar in California - 2.0
David Murphy rocks, so Ellsbury can just go get himself a taco or something.
thats dumb
so you’re worried about your bullpen and in your situation, you use MORE relievers?
Rare Gnats Sex
So you get C.J. warmed up...
...but then you don’t bring him in…
Unless the reliever allows a baserunner or two, then you have him warm up again and come in…
by Adam J. Morris on May 10, 2008 10:15 PM CDT up reply actions
He should still be reasonably warm
To come in without too many warmup tosses.

C.J.
Once you had him get up and warm up, in this situation, you might as well bring him in.
Your only other options, really, are German and Wright, both of whom pitched yesterday.
Getting a guy warmed up, then having him sit back down, isn’t really that much better than having him just come in and pitch.

I guess
But what if CJ racks up another 20 some pitches?

For some reason...
...I thought German had pitched yesterday.
My guess is, if the Rangers are up 6-2 going into the bottom of the 8th, he gets German up instead of Wilson, and German comes into the game.

You know what would be good right here?
a double play….
"You got a guy coming up there who can’t hit water if he fell out of a boat." - Tom Grieve on Richie Sexson, 5.8.2008
That's a perfect example of Kinsler's
Baseball IQ.
"I thought that was bull," Washington said. "What is he 6-13? That's just frustration. He overreacted." - Wash on Sexson
don't know about that
throwing back to second would have been awkward, going for the tag could have resulted in a prolonged chase, then the guy at 3rd breaks home, then you’ve got a wild throw potentially and all hell breaking loose etc.
throwing back??
he was in the line of the runner, he just needed to tag him out or walk back to 2nd…
"I thought that was bull," Washington said. "What is he 6-13? That's just frustration. He overreacted." - Wash on Sexson
Either way...
You are either going to have runners at first and third with 2 out, or runners at 2nd and 3rd with 2 out, and a 4 run lead.
In that situation, it doesn’t really make any difference.
by Adam J. Morris on May 10, 2008 10:58 PM CDT up reply actions
If you think CJ should have done something else there......
you’re either crazy or you didn’t see the play.
I don’t believe he could have tagged the runner and a toss back to MY could have been risky. I agree with the rule to always get the out. Getting outs is way more valuable there than trying something risky.
"If Kason Gabbard's gonna hit anybody, he's gonna hit one of their good hitters. He's not gonna hit Richie Sexson." - Tom Grieve

My point is that I don’t think Washington wants to have Wilson warm up and not bring him in.
So once Wilson was up and throwing in the 8th, he was going to come into the game.

You want to use CJ in a tight situation instead??
No thanks!! I don’t trust him in a tight situation anymore, after a few outings I’ve seen this year.

if the guy is warmed up and you would bring him in if a couple of guys got on, just bring him in to start the inning.

as i did bring up the warming him up earlier heh.

Still unecessary work, in my opinion
And unecessary runs on his ERA. But we still got the win… like somebody said above, agree to disagree.
A Lonestar in California - 2.0
David Murphy rocks, so Ellsbury can just go get himself a taco or something.
as long as we win, everything is perfect.
Hey, it could be worse...

his k/bb ratio
is ugly, he can’t keep this up too much longer…

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

We have a great shot..
to climb above .500 during this homestand. Unreal. I wouldn’t have bet a nickel on that happening this entire season when we were 9-18.

What can you say he is a AAAA player
"My death certificate will probably say: 'Cause of Death: World Series.'" Jamey Newberg
I agree
he had his chance. Just thought it was interesting. And Byrd didn’t look very good to me. Arias had a chance to throw a guy out at 3rd from shallow right and he didn’t even try. Just jogged it in. I think the runner makes it no matter what, but I found it interesting he didn’t even attempt. And Kea, he stunk tonight

a few posts up complaining about letting CJ pitch?
but anyway… im a wash supporter and dont want him fired.. but i dont think he has anything to do with this run. dont think he had much to do with the bad run either.
Gerald Laird is my hero.
