you need innings so you take him out at 81 pitches?
i know the game is on the line here but its rupe coming in not frankie
Gerald Laird is my hero.

It
probably has to do with the fact that Gabbard is just off the DL, and quite fragile

Yeah
That and he was about to melt down.

Damn it Hamilton
Just cost the Rangers a run there
by Gdawg on May 13, 2008 8:49 PM CDT reply actions 0 recs
he held onto the ball
and started jogging off the field as if there were 3 outs already. If he throws it in after catching it, no way Cairo can tag and make it to home plate. At the very least, its a play at the plate
by Gdawg on May 13, 2008 8:50 PM CDT up reply actions 0 recs
No way he gets him
Ball was deep enough and he was moving backwards when he caught the ball because it was hit on a line. Not a chance that he throws him out at the plate.

murphy
I been thinking about this for a day or so. What would happen if the Rangers made Murphy a first baseman? could he do it? seems like it would serve several purposes. It would get some hitting there where we really haven’t had any since Tex was traded and he is left handed. It was also free up a spot in the out field. So, flame me if you want, I am just thinking out loud.

One of the biggest reasons
Murphy has value is his OF defense. By putting him at first, you make him a WAY below average first basemen when he could be an average OF.

Finally...
I’d hate to put this on Wash, but I just can’t think of many times where I’ve seen him make the right call out of the bullpen. It might be bad luck, but after a while, you either have to replace every arm you have or put the blame on the manager.
by Gdawg on May 13, 2008 8:58 PM CDT reply actions 0 recs
aside from the past 4 or so days
ive really had very little problem with his bullpen management.
and the last 4 days have been a little compromised by the SP stuff.

by DSheppard on May 13, 2008 9:00 PM CDT up reply actions 0 recs
eh
Going back to the beginning of the season, he seems to always make the wrong call. Its either pulling a SP to early, pulling him too late, bringing in the guy that blows a lead, or w/e. Outside of a nice stretch in the beginning of the month, I don’t think Wash has done that well of a job.

this isn't a shootout
it is late in the game and it is low scoring. praying on a big inning is not the smart move. you take the one run and let the back of your bullpen hold on to it. if the3y don’t so be it. but you don’t pass up an almost sure run because your bullpen has given up a few runs in the previous games.

On the other hand
If it were Hamilton, yeah, it would be stupid to bunt… but Shelton’s not a heavy hitter and he seems ot be having beginner’s luck with the bunts.
by Inkara1 on May 13, 2008 9:18 PM CDT up reply actions 0 recs
yeah exactly
with a runner on 3rd and one out the run scores on a hit or sac fly.
with a runner on 2nd and 0 out there are too many ways the runner doesn’t move at all. ground ball to the left side, fly ball to shallow right or center, pretty much any fly to left field, and a single does not guarantee a run scores anyway.
by bigsteve on May 13, 2008 9:19 PM CDT up reply actions 0 recs

Runs should be split
Why can’t the pitcher that put the runner on take half of the run and the pitcher than allowed the run to score take the other half. As for who gets the W or L, it should be the guy that was pitching when the run scored, imo.
by robert_d_wilfong on May 13, 2008 9:15 PM CDT up reply actions 0 recs
it should
count as an unearned run. Its not the original pitcher’s fault that another guy let the baserunners score, but its not the new pitcher’s fault that he came into the game with runners on base.

you’d be out. You have to hit it out of the circle around the tee.

win
thats what the game is about. And to win you have to score more runs than the other team. While sitting around and waiting for a 5 run inning may be fun the simple fact is in a low scoring game in the 6th inning you take the runs when they are available. And you have a much much higher chance of scoring a run with a man on 3rd and 1 out with the bottom of your lineup coming up than a man on 2nd and 0 out with the bottom of your lineup coming up.

i hate to be negative
but hes really not. in every stint hes ever had, hes had one other with a ops over 700. 706.
id like to think hes suddenly become awesome, but its probably a fluke.
doesnt mean hes not a solid utility if though.

So he’d bring back a lot more in return. Which is why he might get traded, if the right deal is out there.

in the Bmac for Danks, or Garza for Young mold.

I guess
you always listen to any offer but I am on board with pitching. The Rangers’s position player situation is a lot better off than their pitching.

I wouldn’t, for example, take an Andrus in return, unless it was in conjunction with an MLB-ready player.
