PrintOakland Athletics at Texas Rangers, May 9, 2008 7:05 PM CDT
A return home to face the hated Oakland A's...
Scott Feldman goes up against crafty lefty finesser Greg Smith, who is the type of pitcher who gives the Rangers fits, so we better hope for a low-scoring game...
Go Rangers...

Too bad
Btw, if you saw that lineup in March and told us that would be our lineup (and pitcher) on May 9th, I don’t think there would have been much hope for this game.
I dig it, though, and am really looking forward to this game, even against the daunting Greg Smith.
by badradiorules on May 9, 2008 6:18 PM CDT up reply actions
isnt he still not really healthy?
thought i saw someone say he was just an emergency option at this point in case of injury.
Gerald Laird is my hero.
How can this team be taught
to hit these guys. Its as if 80mph from the left side is kryptonite to this team. They should start have Gabbard throw batting practice every day. Better yet, go find John Koronka and pay him $1.5 million to throw BP at game speeds
smith is just a pretty good pitcher
hes got a 2.5 era, not like everyone other than the rangers are mashing him..
but its definitely frustrating to watch.
Gerald Laird is my hero.

that lineup
makes me happy. they have mench, barajas and wilk in this lineup. remember the rios for mench rumors from 2006? remember the blalock for rolen rumors? and how so many were sure that Michael Young could convince Arlington native Vernon Wells to sign down here.
This could have been our line up.

“We don’t have any animosity against those guys, and I don’t know why they would have any against us,” Washington said. “Since I’ve been here, we’ve gone into Seattle and got our ass handed to us. We finally go into Seattle and whup their ass, and now there’s animosity? Nah, we just played better baseball.”

greg smith is just really good
and the rangers aren’t great against lefties to begin with.
BTW, this is not a good pitcher for Josh to try to break out of his slump against. I don’t think josh is capable of hitting Greg’s slider

Game blacked out on mlb.tv
even though it’s an away game and not televised in the bay area. yeah, that makes sense.
i'm hoping
the ranger hitters watched some video on Smith and figured out how to hit him.

What happened to the philosophy of
seeing pitches? MY that was terrible. That was an awful pitch to swing at.
You know...
Just once I’d like to see the A’s put out a terrible team that stinks from day one to the end of the season. No matter the talent level in Oakland they always seem to hang around for a while each season.
Whereas the Rangers just tank in April year after year and let us know where they stand right away.
It’s infuriating.

I keep hoping JD looks to Billy Beane as a model.
Maybe he does and it’s just taking time to get stuff done.
Regarding the RBIs are crap story
how does a sacrifice that gets a run home get recorded if not through RBIs? I know that doesn’t make it the best stat, necessarily, but it does seem to make it, in fact, necessary.
Am I wrong?
I think the argument is
RBIs aren’t entirely within a player’s control. Unless he gets a home run, any RBIs are dependent on other people.
id like to see a stat
that was more like rbis per runner on base for the batter or something like that.
it may be flukey on just happening to get your hits with runners on, but it still wins games.
Gerald Laird is my hero.
yeah
the way NBA is starting to use rebound rate as opposed to just rebounds. while hitting with RISP might fluctuate based on flukey reasons, you could get an idea of whether a player is good at sacrificing when he had the chance.
Rare Gnats Sex
does it get recorded as a sacrifice that brings in a run?
or just a sacrifice? It seems like one is much more valuable than the other.
HD feed seems to look better than the last one i saw for some reason
watching kinsler double in slow mo hd is rangers goodness.
Gerald Laird is my hero.
I was listing to the Rangers game for a second
but he is keeping the ball down. (Line drive accord. the box score)
Ground outs-fly outs: Hurley, E 4-1.
.....
Shroom… solid single… not solidly hit…....
Looked, from video, off the end of the bat but right over Hurley’s head.

Gotta love that depth. I just hope we end up keeping the right one and getting good trade value for the others.

Damned if you do, damned if you don't
Choice:
1. Tell a young guy that if you play good defense and hit well, it won’t necessarily keep you up.
2. A regular starter gets hurt and loses his job because of it.
Dammit. Gameday audio is screwing up.
I’ve been stuck in the hospital every other night while my son recovers from surgery and the freakin’ hospital has to be the only building in the Metroplex that gets neither KDFI or FSSW. So I get Gameday Audio so I can at least listen to the games and tonight it’s choppy as hell. Very frustrating.
He's doing well.
We’ll hopefully be going home tomorrow.

As for the Gameday audio, it must be the hospital’s internet connection. I’ve got Victor and Eric coming in strong and clear.

if he wasnt insanely injury prone
id want to sign him for 3-4 years.
but he is. can you really turn down a good prospect for a 30 year old who will likely miss huge parts of seasons from here out?
now, i dont want to just give him away from some meh prospect and to get rid of salary. but if someone sees him as the missing piece and offers a good prospect.. id be tempted.

Boggs
he’s pretty hot, and he didn’t play everyday for OKC until about a couple of weeks into the season. Murph looks like he’s wearing down a bit.
If Lewin's never heard anyone say pitching is less than 50% of the game, he's not paying attention.
Just about every self-respecting analyst will say it’s less than 50%. Defense is 50% of the game, and pitching is a large part of defense, but not 100%.
Hmmm to me pitching is about 90% of baseball.
because it it’s bad, you have NO chance whatsoever. But I’ve seldom heard of any number less than 70 or 80 %.

we are in a seven game stretch where we face Bedard twice, Felix twice, Smith (who K’ed ten last time), Eveland (a lefty with an ERA of 3), and Harden.

As TAG was pointing out
Smith’s ERA in the first inning is 9-something, and in all other innings is 1-something… gotta get him early.
well
there are a lot of pitchers that struggle early and settle down. brandon webb comes to mind.
no idea if smith is and its too early to tell, but there are certainly pitchers who do struggle early..
Gerald Laird is my hero.
You kind of understand
that with sinker ballers or power pitchers (or guys like Webb who are both), but a soft tossing lefty doesn’t exactly sound like the “need warm up” type of guy to me.
I still think this Oakland pitching is a mirage.
only 80 pitches
guess it dpeends on how quick this inning is. cheap single to start it, bleh.

Wow.
I think this kid has earned the right to stay in the bigs even after Byrd is healthy.
the key is how he handles the inevitable adjustments..
ever since I have beem watching baseball, it seems like teams don’t really have a firm plan on how to get a rookie out- even when he’s been consistently good for a few weeks.
Then they really dig deep for any weaknesses and the player has to adjust along with that.

There is no way that our team ERA can be 2nd worst in the AL after tonight. We have to climb up the ladder a bit, right?
aside from the 10-1 game before the shutouts
we also ended the previous game with 4 scoreless innings, so 1 run in the last 39.

I LOVE Hammy's hustle.
