Fabio Castillo

Getting his first start tonight.

Rangers Farm Probables

Yeah. I wonder if they found something in Quintero's last start that Quintero needed to work on.

If Holland were moving up, I would guess they would hold off Castillo’s first start until tomorrow. I guess it’s possible they just push Quintero a day back, but seem unlikely.

Alliant Energy field (in Clinton) has a radar gun now.

Boggs

has been struggling. Does he need to be sent down?

Only if...

...we could sign Sosa to replace him…

I think its possible that

Boggs will be left in the majors until Hank comes back. Then Cat moves back to the outfield and Boggs can be sent down.

No

No and no.

OT, somewhat

Someone in my office has changed their cell phone’s ringtone. It is now Lupe Fiasco’s “Superstar”. I swear I nearly gave myself whiplash the first time their phone rang today. Now that song will be making me angry at work and at home. Dammit.

That's not it

it’s some Christian rock band or something.

You’re checking out some hot chick at the bar. She makes eyes and walks over.

She asks: What’s your name?
You say: Boof.

You say: Im the Twins starting pitcher Boof….

...we need to give a Rangers player the nickname “Boof”.

How about Boof Bradley?

It's really frustrating

trying to explain to my fellow east-coasters (all Sox/Yanks/Mets fans) just how good Josh Hamilton is.

I don’t want to downplay it, so I always end up going too far with. “He’s the best baseball player I’ve ever seen.” I end up sounding like an ass.

by cmkelly29 on May 19, 2008 7:18 PM CDT   0 recs

Hamilton

Needs some work on reading balls hit directly to center.

how accurate is gameday?

It looks like Feldman isn’t getting any calls at all…

by cjcheng on May 19, 2008 7:24 PM CDT   0 recs

Funny

I was just about to boot up gameday to see how crappy this UMP really is. Watching on TV it looks as though he is waaay off.

THis ump sucks

Totally squeezing Scott.

by rcreative on May 19, 2008 7:27 PM CDT   0 recs

+1

Have to keep an eye on the calls old Boof gets, compared to those Feldman gets.

ESPN Gameday

Doesn’t appear to be accurate on the pitch tracking.

by rcreative on May 19, 2008 7:37 PM CDT to parent up   0 recs

Try MLB gameday

It’s much better than ESPN.

by rcreative on May 19, 2008 7:42 PM CDT to parent up   0 recs

No

But the location and pitch tracking are more accurate.

I could see it going either way. With the focus we’re starting to put on defense I can see him sticking around. Then again if keep him it means the end for either Cat or Shelton.

anyone with gameday

look at the called third strike to david murphy and then the fourth pitch feldman throws to kubel that is called a ball. they are literally the exact same pitch

by mdd on May 19, 2008 7:37 PM CDT   0 recs

I'm thinkin..

This ump is having issues with the movement on Feldman’s pitches.

by rcreative on May 19, 2008 7:38 PM CDT to parent up   0 recs

Victor and Eric said before the game that this HP ump is a Minnesota native

I think this jackass is purposly favoring the hometown boys.

not draw the same conclusion as you did.

by Randy Richardson on May 19, 2008 7:42 PM CDT to parent up   0 recs

According to Gameday, the Murphy pitch was closer to the plate

However, the ump is not consistent on calls near that spot

by Telegraph on May 19, 2008 7:38 PM CDT to parent up   0 recs

Just one question

Where IS Tim Tschida’s strike zone? Seems to be mucho movable.
