re: Ann Coulter - "She doesn't get raped nearly enough." - DJ Cahill

discussions of posting times, turtles and bunting heh.
Gerald Laird is my hero.
Day games can get more posts...
people sitting at work following along and posting that would otherwise be sitting in front of a TV away from a computer watching.

Hey, new rule proposal regarding gameday thread turtles:
Only DShep’s turtles, and that cool submarine turtle laxtonto uses for Josh Hamilton need apply.

Last year
Salty had 10 walks in 141 ABs as a Ranger
This year
He has 10 walks in 34 ABs
That is encouraging
Although not suprising. He has shown the ability to walk, even while in slumps in the minors. He just K’s a lot as well.

Against AA pitching.
Let’s not kid ourselves. We’ve rushed plenty of prospects in the past and had it kill us.
He’s 22. Give the kid a break.
Okay, here again
the minors just aren’t the same thing. Why do you want to rush a 22-year-old first baseman who’s had fewer than 1000 minor league PAs so badly?
you win....
maybe when he is 25 or 26…...age is not a factor to me….cabrera, jones, wright, reyes! talent matters not age and it did not hurt those guys when they came up!!

I wrote this season off before it started. If we end as a .500 team, I’ll be ridiculously happy. We do not need to ruin our future because our 1B situation sucks this year.
I have seen him play...
He still needs work on some of his footwork at 1b, and plate discipline. Hopefully he gets bumped to AAA in a few more weeks and ill check on him the next time im in OKC.

isn’t placement of the OF’ers one of the responsibilities of the Manager? Was Hamilton on his on being so shallow or was that RW’s call also. if so, then that and the pinch hit FUBAR indicates RW is a jackass.

Generally, it's one of the base coaches
that is responsible for OF placement. I’m guessing Pettis at first and Walbeck has the infield, or vice versa. Granted, Wash shouldn’t have pinch hit for Vasquez. That was just ridiculous.
re: Ann Coulter - "She doesn't get raped nearly enough." - DJ Cahill
Yeah. That was all on Hamilton.
As much as I like Hambone and as much as I’d like to blame his boneheaded play on somebody else, he came in on a ball over his head and then couldn’t recover in time to catch it.
