Nice
I like the lineup posted like that
by Dirk Diggler on May 23, 2008 5:30 PM CDT reply actions 0 recs
yeah it's nice
the lineup itself ain’t bad either

6-7-8
is mint…
only half joking.
shelton seems to have gotten better. and salt’s average ain’t great, but he walks. i think his hitting is gonna turn around.

Shelton-Salty
are probably above average 7th-8th hitters.
shelton has a .856 ops for may, which still started with a 1 for 8 or whatever.
Gerald Laird is my hero.

and our 1-2-3-4
are probably above average too :)
and our 9 too

hmm
Id say… for their lineup spots…
Kinsler – slightly above average
Young – average
Hamilton – above average
Bradley – above average this year, probably average in general
Murphy – average this year, probably slightly below average in general for the 5th spot.
Boggs – below average
Shelton – slightly above average. his career ops is over 800 and after a slow start he has resumed looking like a decent hitter. below average for 1b, but above for the lineup spot.
Salty -a bit above average. most lineups are pretty thin down here, at least salty has patience and power. average will show back up.
Vazquez – above average so far obvviously, but i cant get past his bad career numbers. but its the 9th spot, so ill say average in general.
Gerald Laird is my hero.

I don’t know, a lot of managers hit some pretty crap players second.

i should have salty "below average right now"
before the a bit above average overall like i dod for some other players.
but theres a lot of reasons to think salty in 500 at bats would be better than your average 8th hitter. much better.

Very nice AJM...
I’m digging the lineups like that.
I also like our lineup v. the Indians. Unfortunatelt the pitching matchups the next 3 days leave much to be desired. I think we lose 2 of 3.

I'm really impressed with the 2.0 feature set
I don’t know why they haven’t implemented some way of having paging in very long threads though – it would solve the “new thread is up” problem.

their lineup is really cold though.
im expecting the rangers to lose 2 as well, but not as overwhelmingly as i would if hafner/garko wernt slumping. theres a chance.

PTI...
just had a over/under on Hamslam winning 1 of the 3 Triple crown categories in the AL. Both Bob Ryan and MIchael Wilbon said he could win the RBI title but wouldn’t win the batting title or HR crown.
Anyone here think he could win the triple crown? I don’t think he can win the batting title. He may have a outside shot at the HR crown, but I don’t think that’s likely either. The RBI crown could get tighter, but I think he will take that one if he stays healthy.
Either way, nice to see Hamslam getting some love on a national level. He has been the AL MVP so far, hands down.

I can’t believe how well the Rangers lineup is doing against very good pitching lately.
Wash deserves a lot of credit for changing the mentality and hitting approach for this team and getting them to work the count against very good pitching. The results have been very good.

the rangers walks have a lot more to do with the insertion of fairly patient players than anything else.

I think it's a little of both
Having one of your leaders be a guy whose approach jives with the manager’s (Bradley, Wash) is better than having one of your leaders (Teixeira) quibble with the manager. That’s why I’m in the don’t deal Bradley camp. People will follow a leader and it is evident at the plate this year.

Funny how
In the beginning of the season, and alot of last season we all harped on people who talked about the “same ole Rangers, all hitting, no pitching” and how they didnt even know what they were talking about.
Yet here we are dominating all that is offense in baseball, with terrible pitching holding us back from being a contender.

The pitching...
has not been terrible. Look at the team ERA. Last year was terrible.

Half of that has to be the bullpen though
The starting pitching has been decent, although a lot of that has been guys like Ponson overperforming.

Ever since that he has struggled throwing strikes. just wondered if he is actually healthy. i know we need him to pitch but id like him to go back to the DL and regain his early season form. the Gabbard taking the mound these days is not helping us out anyway.

manny-elsbury-drew with crisp also there.
given what they are paying drew murph may not play there even if he was traded there today with what hes shown in texas, and if he stayed there he would have never gotten the chance to even show this much.
im sure they wouldnt mind having him around as depth, but nothing to lose sleep over for them.
they certainly dont need gabbard. and beltre.. who knows.
if gagne had performed well it would have been a fair trade good for both teams.

Why send Kason back out there to give up runs? The Rangers can easily lose this game now. I guess Wash was trying to get him a victory but when you suck you should come out and if your feeling are hurt, too bad.
