Ian Kinsler, 1B
Michael Young, SS
Josh Hamilton, CF
Milton Bradley, DH

Duran in RF? This team really needs another RHB OFer.

Byrd...

will be back soon. Good to see Murphy get a day off, he needed it.

I believe that should say Kinsler at 2B.

I really want another series victory. Come on Rangers.

Laird

Should not be in the lineup today.

He is 1-13 career against Bedard, and Salty showed some flashes of breaking out of his slump yesterday.

Oh, and WTF is up with German Duran in RF?

Does Brandon Boggs not have the arm to play there or something? I can see Duran in LF, but RF… maybe that’s a typo or something.

Boggs in LF

He’s got a lot more range, and generally, with the big left field out there, managers since TBIA opened have wanted the better defender to play left. The exception is when the guy with less range doesn’t have the arm to handle RF (see, i.e., the Cat).

as I said above…Hammy sometimes begs the use of PLUM…PLays Un-Made.

Really, he is very good as far as range. I think he has a little Keens in him…he makes excellent plays at times, but goofs the easy stuff occaisionally.

What is the Mariners bullpen situation like?

Baek is having to pitch a lot and its just now the 5th inning. I can’t imagine that they leave him in for too much longer unless he starts doing a lot better than that.

I see only 2ER for padilla

Defensive meltdown, or was he struggling in the first regardless?

Either way, nice to see him bounce back with 4 scoreless.

Wasn't great in the first...

The Vazquez error was a tough call, could have been a hit, and Hamilton booted the ball in CF that allowed runners to advance.

The 2 errors hurt

Does a run balked home count as an ER? Of course, that might be moot if he’d have been an unearned run if scored via hit.

Ouch

balks are embarrassing.

Thanks for the updates. As soon as finals are over I’m getting the MLB radio package… the lack of rangers is killing me, but my computer has issues with streaming video, so I don’t think it would take too kindly to MLB.tv.

how tall is Randy Johnson?

he actually got a walk the other day… probably the largest strike zone in MLB and he walks…

that's what I thought when I heard about his walk
