Do you remember

How do you reward a guy who

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 up reply 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 up reply 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

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.

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.

Lineup
Ian Kinsler, 2B
Michael Young, SS
Josh Hamilton, CF
Milton Bradley, DH
David Murphy, LF
Gerald Laird, C
Marlon Byrd, RF
Chris Shelton, 1B
German Duran, 3B
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.

by B_Black on May 24, 2008 6:48 PM CDT up reply actions 0 recs
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 up reply 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.

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.
