Won't get to see the game

Fiancee wants to go see Get Smart… the movie and game have the same starting time. (Compromise I make because of the rarity of us having time off at the same time when things are actually open.) I’ll be tracking it on my phone, looks like… so here’s the new rally image I promised last game but couldn’t use.

Wow

Young flashing some nice power there, nearly took it out of the park in CF. Just a bit farther and that is a 2 run shot instead of a deep fly out

By 2028, Mark Teixeira will be in the HOF.

Is he injured or something?

Yes

Where is JEFF Zimmerman, i don’t care about Ryan, I’m looking for a solid back end bullpen guy!

What a throw by Vazquez

I would be participating ...

.. but once again Time Warner and/or FSN has screwed Rangers fans by showing the Astros even though the Rangers are clearly on the schedule for today. Jerks!

And I can’t find an online link, I know someone asked earlier but I can’t find anything.

Wow

a SB on the unstealable Gerald Laird.

could really use a hit right here.

Rangers win 50-20

well, I couldn’t use 5-2 so I had to improvise…

Unbelievable

The guy dropped the ball, and Byrd ended up just standing there.

by Adam J. Morris on Jun 20, 2008 7:00 PM CDT   0 recs

he would have been safe....

can’t tell if that was on Walbeck or Byrd… little of both, probably.

Millwood working the walk..

love it

A pitcher may not always look good swinging the bat

but a lot of them seem to lay off the bad pitches….I guess they know what they look like

by SaltyDawg on Jun 20, 2008 7:05 PM CDT to parent up   0 recs

he only swung at one pitch outside the strikezone

and that’s the one he fouled off. Color me impressed..

Hey Adam, since there's only like 15 of us in this thread

any chance you feel like doing a piece on Ramon Vasquez’s season compared to his past history?

but I like seeing pretty numbers that add up to explain that to me

Kins

just shy of the GS

This would be infuriating to a Nats fan.

by Mahon on Jun 20, 2008 7:09 PM CDT   0 recs

Kins had the big hit

but that inning was made possible by the Millwood walk.

didnt occur to me

you didn’t notice because he ran like a ninja

he was floating

by WhipSmart on Jun 20, 2008 7:22 PM CDT to parent up   0 recs

off the top of my head,

I can think of three Byrd base-running errors that cost runs or ended innings or both…

He’s not the sharpest tool in the shed.

Just joining in

What cost us the other 3 runs? I saw Marlon Byrd’s latest basrunning gaffe on gameday, what else happened?

by lonestarJon on Jun 20, 2008 7:21 PM CDT to parent up   0 recs

I would watch him even is he wasn't an ex-Ranger

He is just a fun guy to watch pitch right now….But I am perfectly happy with Hamilton

by SaltyDawg on Jun 20, 2008 7:18 PM CDT to parent up   0 recs

no problem with the trade

what were the chances both danks and volquez would do what they are doing? the rangers would have been thrilled if one had an era below 4 this year, and their combined ERA is low 2’s…

oh well. come back healthy bmac

by DSheppard on Jun 20, 2008 7:22 PM CDT to parent up   0 recs

No one could have guessed that

even the biggest of DVD backers. But what they are doing is definitely fun to watch. Maybe the Rangers were bigger geniuses than they thought and they will hit on all three of the DVD boys once TD gets all the way back.

by SaltyDawg on Jun 20, 2008 7:25 PM CDT to parent up   0 recs

From what I can tell...

The high camera angle is due to a “sunken field,” which alows more seating on the lowest level of the stadium. That pushed the high level seating (and booths) farther away from home plate than most stadiums. That, in turn, pushes the camera angle up.

I guess.

by cmkelly29 on Jun 20, 2008 7:17 PM CDT   0 recs

looks like a nice stadium

anyone been there yet?

He has to get bumped up to OKC soon right?

by boomer1 on Jun 20, 2008 7:27 PM CDT to parent up   0 recs

Well...

The problem is that Teagarden is there (and one could argue Salty should be there). So there isn’t really that much room at the inn in OKC.

by Adam J. Morris on Jun 20, 2008 7:31 PM CDT to parent up   0 recs

True

But something has to be done soon I would think with TT, Salty, Max and OMFT.
