Thursday a.m. things

Th_buckykatt_tiny by Adam J. Morris on

Not a good game for Vicente Padilla last night -- it was rather reminiscent of quite a few of his outings last season -- but for the second night in a row, the Rangers got to the Royals pen to overcome a 5-1 deficit, and have the chance for a sweep this afternoon.

Evan Grant's game story talks about how the offensive explosion covered for some sloppy play last night.  Then afterwards, Milton Bradley went upstairs to confront a Royals announcer (and was stopped by Ron Washington and Jon Daniels), and afterwards, was apparently rather emotional when talking to the press.

Eddie Guardado is now the 8th inning guy, according to Ron Washington, and Joaquin Benoit is going to be relegated to the 6th/7th inning role.  Also from Washington, Hank Blalock is likely going to be hitting 5th when he returns, with David Murphy moving down to 6th.  Given that neither Blalock nor Murphy hits lefties well, you'd probably rather split them up in the lineup, but  we'll see what happens.

And Tim Cowlishaw has a column up on the debut of Eric Hurley, that focuses at much on the Rangers trading away pitching as it does on Hurley.

Good to see them

move Everyday Eddie into the setup role. I’ve always thought Benoit did better in lower pressure situations.

I think the Milton Bradley situation shows how he was an absolutely brilliant one year contract pickup, but might be an issue on a long term contract.

No,

I would have liked to flip Ponson for prospects too. I’d try to get value for both, and wouldn’t have signed either to a long term contract.

i understand your position

i just don’t think you can have a guy that everybody hates on your team. milton, i’d one up you. if the team likes him and rallies around him, you can keep him forever. i’d endure the occasional 5 game suspension.

I think the suspensions

probably grow longer than 5 games. I just think signing guys like MB longterm is nothing but trouble. I suspect he is going to get worse the more comfortable he gets here and the longer he stays here. I also think at some point that Milton will alienate himself from the team.

I’m not worried about these issues on a one year signing, I would be real worried about them on a 3-5 year contract.

i also think people grow older and they get better about it. i dunno, rodman is probably a fair comp (although I think Rodman was cocky and I don’t think Milton is) and he really didn’t get better but other sports figures have.

honestly

i could care less about the folks around here. apparently the folks around here are retarded jackasses who don’t see a good player and teammate when he’s leading the league in every offensive category.

But I do agree that he’s going to get himself suspended for overreacting (but the suspension won’t match the action) and then a teammate might say something like “we need him on the field, he can’t be doing that stuff,” and then…who knows. could work itself out, might not.

Well,

I think you have nailed why I don’t mind signing any “bad guy” for one year. I think teammates will rally around them at first, but over time they will resent that this jackass is making their lives miserable.

I think for the first year, or first half year, you see more of the upside of the “bad guy”. Over a long term contract, I think it can lead to problems. If you take most of the upside, and then flip them for good prospects, you basicly get nothing but upside from the deal, and you let someone else eat any downside.

I was listening to the Royals feed last night

and that guy was way way out of line. This was in the article, but basically the Royals color guy says it’s great that Hamilton has turned his life around and maybe Milton can learn from it because all Milton has done is screw up at every stop he’s been.

WTF?

He really didn’t do anything terrible in SD and he hasn’t done ANYTHING here. He’s just as much a come back story as Hamilton is and instead of saying somethign like that, it turns into, Milton, why can’t you be more like Hamilton.

That would piss me off too. And, I don’t remember the Royals color guy complimenting him at all. In fact, the Royals announcer was kind of pannning the Royals color guy like, “there’s your favorite player.”

I dunno. I guess he’s an adult and he should let these things slide but I can certainly see why he was angry.

by ab03 on Jun 12, 2008 8:37 AM CDT   0 recs

I too ...

... was watching the Royals feed online. I admit, I turned the volume down after awhile because I was sick of hearing about them. First, I think Lefebvre seemed to have an axe to grind, talking about Milton. They even talked about him when he wasn’t at-bat (though he was generally at least on-deck when they brought him up). And that part where the other guy goaded him on, calling Milton “his guy” was completely unprofessional and unecessary.

Now, i am not going to defend MB’s behavior. He is an adult and should have kept it in check. However, I think too much is probably going to be made of this (the press loves anything that is even remotely controversial and will blow this up beyond what it really is to achieve those results). But I also can’t say I blame him for being angry. Lefebvre can spin it any way he wants, but he was out of line in judging a guy without bringing into account the good things that MB has brought to the Rangers and how he seems to try and be turning it around.

by Melmart1 on Jun 12, 2008 8:45 AM CDT to parent up   0 recs

Turning what around?

He still shows up umpires and probably still thinks that the world is against the black man.

This is only working thus far because of Wash. Plus we have Pettis, Boggs, and Byrd.

Not sure, but we may be one of the more afro-centric teams in MLB.

Before you call me a racist keep in mind I am only bring this up because I believe it was Milton whe said white players dont know how to relate to black players(or something like like).

The guy is a loose canon and there is NO evidence that that has changed.

I guess we will see what MLB thinks of him at the trade deadline…I think it will suprise you.

Slapped the plate when crossing home 2 games ago(?) to show up the ump(or other team?)

Also, I’m pretty sure Milton wasn’t the only person who’s wanted to argue with the umpiring crew two days ago. I seem to remember a mild mannered saintly manager getting tossed.

your right

Milton looks calm, cool, and collected…

Ive watched most of every game this year and if youasked me which player looks the most likely to get tossed after striking out I would say Bradley…and that opinion has NOTHING to do with past transgression. I base that on simply watching him THIS year. Did you see Wash “protecting” Bradley last night and Pettis trying to distract the 3rd base ump so Milt wouldnt get run? It was just last night.

Digs at Hillman are fine with me. I dont know anything about the guy and dont give two shits if he “knows” Jesus.

FWIW- Note below where Melmart1 educates us on the fact that J32 has Milton reading his Bible. Isnt that sweet. J32 would have LOVED playing for Hillman…

i think juan gonzalez always played the game with a scowl on his face. bo jackson broke bats left and right. ian kinsler looks pissed half the time. people slam bats down all the time in frustration.

He’s not the calmest player but there’s nothing wrong with the way he plays. He certainly hasn’t done anything to warrant what the announcers are saying. The one time he was involved in a brawl he tried to de-escalate the situation. I don’t think he’s broken any clubhouse equipment (completely socially acceptable and doesn’t get a mention anymore) and he hasn’t actually gotten face to face with an ump.

What do you want from him? you’re just arguing for the sake of arguing

Last I checked, both Hamilton and Kinsler aren’t white. Race doesn’t seem to be an issue here.

Milton doesn't think that the world is against the black man

He thinks the world is against him, and that’s how it has always been. He is not a person to actively seek aggression against another, and it takes provocation to set him off. Unfortunately, since he does think that the world is against him, it doesn’t take much to do this. The reason he has been doing well this season is that the coaching staff and players on this team has respected him and treated him well., not because there are other black players/coaches.

He is a loose cannon and I don’t think he has changed. I don’t think he believes it is necessary for him to change since he believes his actions are correct. It’s not that he cannot control his emotion, it’s that he does not wish to do so. This kind of things has happened and will continue to happen. I think he has learned to ignore the fans for now, but if it is an umpire or announcer that does this, I don’t think he will be happy. He demands to be respected, and when someone like that goes off on him, he is going to let them known how he feels because he is genuinely disturbed by those comments, not because he just wants an excuse to go off.

Now, we need to look at this objectively. First, there is a lot of misguided comparisons between Milton and Ponson. This is completely wrong. Ponson is a cancer, because he actively looks for trouble and alienate his teammates. Milton, on the other hand, is a model citizen if nobody picks on him – this is not a definition of clubhouse cancer. Ponson is an asshole, while Milton is emotionally fragile. The San Diego and Dodgers incidents were both set off by someone picking on him or his behavior.

Folks also complain that he can’t let things go, but let’s take the KC announcer case. He picked just about every opportunity to criticize Milton on his behavior, antics, etc. Why can’t he let things go? Why must he continue to rag on Milton? What’s so difficult about ignoring the bat-toss after walks or annihilation of the bat over his knee after a strikeout? Milton does this in all the time, it is not a personal affront to the announcer. When he criticize Milton for being a bad person, does he understand why Milton goes off? Does he realize what it is that he is doing himself? I think this is hypocritical.

Nevetheless, Milton ultimately has to be held responsible for this type of behavior. He knows that he does not live in a perfect world, but he continues to pretend that he ought to be, as if every passing remark (with whatever intention) is a direct personal assault on him and his values. It will not change, so there is a risk involved with him inherently because nobody can stop another person from provoking him and you will never know when this happens. For this reason, I don’t think his trade value will be very high (max 1 legit prospect + another C+/B- level or some other throw-ins).

I ditto everything you said here. I’m friends with a Royals fan who thinks Milton’s reaction was hilarious. I’m not going to laugh at him, although I think he could have handled it all differently. But I can understand why he was upset by the comments. From all accounts, he is a good teammate, and the fact that so many of the other players rallied around to console him last night speaks to that.

by Redcaps on Jun 12, 2008 8:58 AM CDT to parent up   0 recs

I couldn't agree more

I have never heard a more undeserved rant from an announcer before. If I had to guess, I think Milton’s dance going into second (when Kinsler scored) on the passed ball is what incited the rant, but piss off, the rest of the Rangers players were there to celebrate with Kinsler when he passed home, Bradley was out there on his own, and that was his way of celebrating. Players celebrate, get the f’ over it.

I even made a comment about it in the game thread yesterday, and I woke up this morning to see it became an issue (even covered on sportscenter). Thought that was kind of interesting.

But really, Bradley has not done crap this year, but put up numbers and piss off crappy teams like the Royals. If you want to build up and talk up a guy like Hamilton, that’s great. Do it in context of his own life, not another guys. Afterward the Royals announcer said he wasn’t singling out or ripping on MOB, but that is bullshit. If you’re ragging on one guy in particular, and making him sound like a dirtbag compared to another player… you are singling him out. Get over your crappy team, and call a better game.

Everyone is saying, they’re waiting to see MOB blow up this year. Yeah, he’s going to blow up for 3 home runs today, ya douche!

from the espn article
“We weren’t tearing up Milton Bradley. I told [Washington and Daniels] this wasn’t a Milton Bradley rip session, but just based on the pictures we’ve seen in this series of him walking to the dugout all the way to right field, dropping his bat, making gestures to the fans in right field and above the dugout and taunting them. He’s the only person in baseball I know that does that type of stuff.”

What is this guy talking about? dropping his bat? I haven’t heard anything about gestures or taunting in any other series.

I guess it was fine when Ruben Sierra and Bo Jackson would break their bats but when Milton does it, everybody run for cover…

Bradley was jawing with some fans… there was a fucking reason he had to do that… they were booing him after reaching first (don’t remember if it was a walk or a hit).... but they were egging him on. I respect a player that basically tells opposing fans, that they’re in the seats for a reason. UGH this is so frustrating.

I also hate ...

... how the ESPN article says that “Milton Bradley Goes After Announcer.” Yeah, he went up there and persued him, but I can almost guarantee that if MB wnated to deck him (which is the implication with such an inflammatory headline), he would have succeeded. Do you really think that Wash and skinny little JD could have physically stopped a raging MB?

Nobody seems to be even considering the thought that maybe MB wanted to set the record straight, that he just wanted to talk to the guy (even if it would have been a heated discussion)?
