Hey D

Eddie has faced 20 righties this year and has a 1.35 era against them so YES i follow baseball do you?

apparently not if you dont recognize the term small sample size

by DShep on Jun 2, 2008 9:46 PM CDT up reply actions  

my comp.

is f’n up right now but i would be willing to bet that eddie has a better career era against righty than Jacky does

by blueballlefty on Jun 2, 2008 9:47 PM CDT up reply actions  

what he did in his prime doesnt matter though

benoit as a reliever in the last 3-4 years v guardado v righties the last 3-4 years, id bet anything benoit has better numbers.

Gerald Laird is my hero.

by DShep on Jun 2, 2008 9:49 PM CDT up reply actions  

umm

just looked it up eddie was hurt last year and only faced like 20 batters so I did his from 04-05-06 and I did Benoit in 05-06-07 since he was awfull in 04 and heres how it came out against righties eddie 2.04-3.12-5. something benoit 3.02-5.59-3.14 so take it for what you want but ultimately you look at what they are doing this year and you have to stay with eddie

Jack Benoit

worst performer in the history of sport.

Why in this giant piece of shit infesting our roster.

Hey, it could be worse...

not sure

we should have traded his ass after last year. Most relievers are inconsistent…

Dude!

It’s not!

I’m not a big ham fan, I guess.

I broke up with a girl in 5th grade because of the way she sucked down ham sandwiches. She could slurp ham. I don’t know how. Most of the time, skill like that pays off. I was too young to know though.

Maybe so

But Wash bringing in Tejeda in that situation instead of Francisco was inexscusable. He lost us that game yesterday when he made that decision, I don’t see how anyone can deny that.

by FirebatM3 on Jun 2, 2008 10:11 PM CDT up reply actions  

Frankie gave up 2 HRs to

different players than the one’s Tejeda faced. Its no guarantee he gives up HRs in that situation. What I do know is you go with the best guy you can use and FX2 was that guy in that situation.

by Gdawg on Jun 2, 2008 10:15 PM CDT up reply actions  

Well...

enlighten us on what would have worked tonight.

by bdavison94 on Jun 2, 2008 10:17 PM CDT up reply actions  

I think

Wright or FX2 is a push to begin the inning, I’m talking about after Wright was blowing up and Wash kept waiting to try and let him pitch out of the jam.

And what would have worked tonight? Don’t know. The only thing I can put on Wash in this game is maybe pulling Tejeda for a bullpen that is tired and had a really shaky day yesterday. I’m not putting this all on Wash, the pitchers need to stop walking guys and shouldn’t be giving up 5 more runs over an inning.

by Gdawg on Jun 2, 2008 10:24 PM CDT up reply actions  

you're wrong, Jon...

...Francisco wouldn’t have shut them down any better, and you know it.

i officially believe.

by oc on Jun 2, 2008 10:11 PM CDT up reply actions  

He still should have been in the game

It doesn’t matter if he sucked or not while he was playing trashman, Tejeda should not have ever been brought into that situation. How can you dismiss that decision?

no

it would have been the same result. The bullpen sucked. they all did. They all have been inconsistent for a long fucking time.

Wash had something to do with it, but nearly as much as the horribleness of this pen did.

by FirebatM3 on Jun 2, 2008 10:16 PM CDT up reply actions  

I'm just saying

He would have been better than the guy who hasn’t thrown a pitch in trhe bigs all season.

The real mistake was when Wash took out Feldman at 85 pitches. Then he topped it off when he brought in Tejeda with the bases loaded.

I wasn't around for most of the game tonite

so I don’t know if this was discussed earlier, but the Rangers bullpen has blown 19 leads – most in MLB. If we had won even half of those, we’d be in first place in the AL West. Something has to change if we are to compete at any level.

Dude

Get your blood pressure checked. When we’re in the playoffs in a few years you are seriously going to have a coronary

Joe Morgan: (On Jay Bruce) I think he will. He brings energy to the team, and besides that, he is a pretty good hitter.
Ken Tremendous: I like that the #1 reason he will help his team is: "energy," and the distant #2 reason is: "ability to hit baseballs."

aj murray I dont mind as much, at least hes a lefty.

i wish hurley had even like a 4.3 era right now, id say bring him up. hard to with 5 whatever though. hopefully he can put together 3-4 good starts from this point on and get himself in the mix.
