Do you remember

Corey Feldman’s awkward, “Dangerous” era Michael Jackson fashion phase? It made a lot of people very uncomfortable.

How do you reward a guy who

when 2-4 with a GS and BB?

By benching him.

It's the lefty matchup...

Laird OPS vs. LHP: .823
Salty OPS vs. LHP: .393

by Desert Ranger on May 24, 2008 5:44 PM CDT to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

Yeah

OPS of .393 in 14 at-bats.

by coolaid on May 24, 2008 5:49 PM CDT to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

True

But career (only 139 PA, still small sample size issue) he’s at .600 OPS. Laird’s in 316 PA is at .816. We need all the help we can get against C. Lee.

by Desert Ranger on May 24, 2008 5:56 PM CDT to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

Well.....

.....in that case Laird will be catching Sunday and Monday too. I wouldnt mind (if they insist on platooning) seeing Laird against LHP and Salty against ALL RHP. LOL

by 525DP on May 24, 2008 5:51 PM CDT to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

consider we face two more lefties in the next 2 days

and laird is getting those….

eh… 2 for 2 is supposed to let them get a few at bats in a row. i dont like subbing him.

Gerald Laird is my hero.

by DSheppard on May 24, 2008 6:07 PM CDT to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

Yeah

Just when Salty was seeming to find his rythm, he’s gonna have 3 days off… all I have to say is he better get three consecutive days on next week.

Marlon Byrd, RF

Chris Shelton, 1B

What happen to the catcher 2 game rotation? Also, I would rather have Boggs in the line up than Murphy against a tough lefty. Is Murphy going to ever get a day off?

Bummer

I just saw the end of that game. The Angels offense really seems to suck, I hardly ever see them scoring more and 2-4 runs a game lately.

Unfortunately, their pitching has been lights out this year, with guys like Saunders and Ervin Santana overperforming.

CLE announcers said

Bradley pointed at the scoreboard and told the ump, “Look at my numbers! I don’t swing at pitches like that; that’s not a strike!” before he got tossed.

was that he pointed at the scoreboard. That is what got him tossed.

So it is no longer a double error?

One on Kinsler and then the followup error by Byrd?

by Hubris on May 24, 2008 6:49 PM CDT to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

Still two errors

but since the lead off was a double, even if Kisnler would have fielded it and got an out, the runner at second base moves to third, and would have scored during the inning anyway making it an earned run. The runs that score from this point forward if there are any will result in unearned runs because there would be three outs without the error. So only one run will be earned whatever happens now.

Part of the sell to these players that they sign these one year contracts to is that: 1)They are definitely going to play for a contender this year be it by a trade in the summer to a contending team or be it by the Rangers if they so happen to be in the mix and 2)If they have to trade the player in the summer due to not being in contention themselves, they are definitely interested in them re-signing with them the following year if things go right.

wasn't a bad pitch on 2-2...

...but the fact it got to 2-2 is what’s frustrating…

Scotty is throwing too many pitches…

not what you want from a team whose bullpen is already overworked.

Although, if it’s any consolation, Cliff Lee has thrown his share of pitches as well…

Why can’t Micheal Young catch up to a 88MPH fastball?

by SaltyGoesYard on May 24, 2008 7:28 PM CDT reply reply actions actions   0 recs

It's not the speed...

it’s the location. He struggles with the up and away stuff. Just stands off the plate so far it’s tough for him to reach that pitch.

"The only good is knowledge and the only evil is ignorance."-Socrates

by slc ranger on May 24, 2008 7:31 PM CDT to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

Because...

It hasn’t been brought up to him. Catching up to an 88 MPH fastball hasn’t been brought up to him, so it hasn’t been brought up.

If something happens down the road and the team his better served by him catching up to an 88 MPH fastball, there will be dscussions. But the time is not now, and he doesn’t see it in the near future.
