is as good as a hit.

Ugh
I don’t like the bunt there… Kins is hot and Cat is so-so… Young is cold as he can ever be…
Grieve: The Yanks have struggled so far. - Lewin: Yeah, cry me a bag of money.
i guess it had to be done
but it hurts to take the bat out of our 2nd best active hitter.
Bring up Chris Davis
WHY????
WHY DO WE BUNT WITH KINSLER???
YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!
So that Cat and Young can drive Boggs in
Nevermind that Young has one base hit the last month and Cat is not hitting that well.
BOOOOOO

walk = gold.

Are they saying "Ben-oyt"?
"Boy, that is a gutless, 6-foot-7, .200-hitting formerly good player. What a joke." -Tom Grieve RE: Richie Sexson
Carpenter did
They’re in a different league though and it’s not like Benoit is a household name (although I do understand he should be able to pronounce that name). But I like Carpenter and always did when he did the Ranger games with Busby.

didnt he have 2bb a couple days ago?
his AAA BB:K ratio is actually somewhat ok. not good, but not impossible to succeed levels.

I'll go out on a limb and support that.

Is that the first time that’s happened all year for the Rangers?
By 2028, Mark Teixeira will be in the HOF.
-The Outlaw
Just checked
Salty threw out a runner, Millwood got 8 innings and gave up only 3 ER. Francisco, Rupe, and Benoit are all looking great. How the hell have we not won?

It seems to me
that this offense is struggling because they are not taking enough pitches.

ok, 12 innings is one thing
but 14 is another.
its time to score a freakin run.
Bring up Chris Davis
so 13 full innings and still under 4hrs
crazy after all the 4+hr games they’ve had recently…

with the guys behind him right now
i dont know if i mind him swinging for the fences right now.

at work...
I am a good corporate soldier.
"I know you're a bit dense but no, it doesn't. Obviously lying isn't a problem for me."
and he looks like he doesn't give a shit
Maybe he is just pissed no one is ever on base thanks to FOTF and that he is being “protected” by Byrd

can you people stop putting in calls.
I'm puttin' in the call

he's played an awful awful game today
what the hell does he think he’s going to accomplish swinging up there? it’s not going to get any better until bradley comes back either. learn to take a walk

Got shot in the 4th
not expected to make it…
Grieve: The Yanks have struggled so far. - Lewin: Yeah, cry me a bag of money.
Put him down along the first base line.
"Boy, that is a gutless, 6-foot-7, .200-hitting formerly good player. What a joke." -Tom Grieve RE: Richie Sexson
Pulled his hamstring try to bunt for a single
He made it, but he was rolling around on the ground afterwards. Really, really scary looking, but the Rangers are calling it a “mild strain” right now.

yeah, i'm pretty much over this game.
won’t stop watching, but ready for this one to end. Want to play some GTA4
serious question
can a batter not tell when the catcher behind him is standing up? Can someone not yell to him that that is the case? hamilton has swung at 5 pitches like that
Rare Gnats Sex
not really. And if you take a peek...
theres a good chance that the next one is coming at your head.
Yay cable is back up and running!
"Would you mind walking a time or two so I could drive in some runs"? Milton Bradley
and now wright and benoit will probably be unavaible tomorrow
meaning you are down to EG, Wilson, and Mendoza.
yay
Rare Gnats Sex
Mendoza
can go a good few innings. Benoit could probably go tomorrow since he hasn’t pitched in a while (if its really needed). Francisco only had 10 pitches so he could probably go back-back too.

4th day in a row…..5 out of 6 days?
Well at least
this game is helping lower the ERA of the worst bullpen in the Majors.

Well that is a plus
"Would you mind walking a time or two so I could drive in some runs"? Milton Bradley

So I wonder how many more consecutive scoreless innings we would need tonight to get us out of last place in the MLB team ERA race.

1- Whats the timeline on Laird?
2- MadMax pulled at Frisco?
3- CD hit another HR..I think he might be good
1- noone knows. mild strain would seem to make the guess around 3 weeks?
2- yes, but no further info to be sure
3- yes
Bring up Chris Davis
1. We don’t know yet – it looked pretty bad, but the Rangers say it’s a minor strain
2. Yes
3. Beasticon
rundown
Laird is dead. Funeral set for Tuesday at the Ballpark. They’re burying him in the bullpen.
Max is probably on his way to DC
Davis is beastly.

They wouldn't let him be buried there
but they are coming out with a new flavor – Gerald German Chocolate.

"Boy, that is a gutless, 6-foot-7, .200-hitting formerly good player. What a joke." -Tom Grieve RE: Richie Sexson
question
So, a catcher blocks the plate on a throw to prevent a run from scoring
can a first baseman block first base when a runner is trying to get back – or is that considered bush league?

When you have a HBP and 2 walks...

Ditto if you score 3 runs in 13 innings against the Nats.

You talked to much shit yesterday
about the third thread being the difference. Killed the mojo tonight
well
yesterday he gives up the game tying run. Today he gives up the game winning run. Not a good couple of days for him.
By 2028, Mark Teixeira will be in the HOF.
-The Outlaw
You and I have already discussed yesterday...
and you’re still wrong.
Anyone that blames him for today is misplacing their anger. He should have never been in the game given that he had pitched the last three nights and four out of the last 5. I just hope he doesn’t get hurt as a result.
The offense didn't do their job tonight, CJ didn't do his last night
So that means that Wright doesn’t deserve to get blamed for hitting a hitter and walking 2 to load the bases? He doesn’t deserve any blame for giving up that sac fly last night? That’s crap.
By 2028, Mark Teixeira will be in the HOF.
-The Outlaw
I don't blame him....
when any good manager would have made him unavailable tonight given his workload. You can if you want.
As for yesterday….we’ve had this discussion. And again…..you’re still wrong.
how exactly
what do you ask Wright to do in yesterday’s game? Is it okay that he gives up a deep fly ball in that case?
By 2028, Mark Teixeira will be in the HOF.
-The Outlaw
Damn it all
I thought Vasquez could’ve made a play on that ball.
Oh well.
One more game closer to Chris Davis getting called up.
The 40 Trumps All!!!
I look at it this way,
we lost, Milwood didn’t get the L and had a quality start so that doesnt hurt his value.
The bad part about is that Laird got hurt and Bradley didnt start.
And Salty took a ball in the chin too
He seemed to be OK initially, but you never know with stuff like that.
looked more like his throat
that’s why he dropped so fast…
Grieve: The Yanks have struggled so far. - Lewin: Yeah, cry me a bag of money.
your mom took some balls to the chin last night
and she’s just fine.
sorry…I had to.
by JimCrankshaft on Jun 20, 2008 11:15 PM CDT up reply actions
And...
with Salty getting regular playing time, I expect if he continues to suck that the ball to the chin will be referenced with great regularity. As well as Neptune rising, the uncertainty of the country’s future in an election year, etc.

Better call up a catcher that can actually throw runners out, Nats will run wild tomorrow.
by SanDiegoKev on Jun 21, 2008 12:04 AM CDT up reply actions
Well
I think the only solution to walks in late or extra innings is immediate removal of any pitcher who issues an unintentional walk. Or hits a batter.
MY-Hamilton-Murphy 0 for 18? That’s probably a loss anyway.

I hate...
games like this. 4 1/2 hours and the Rangers ca’t get a damn hit to leave the infield for the last 12 innings or so. If this is what our offense looks like without Board Game then fuck it, keep him and take the 2 picks at the end of the year. Then call up Davis and DFA Shelton. I really want to see him play in a month but the Rangers have to get something out of the 1B position. This shit was just painful. The Nats? Really?
If Marlon Byrd hits 5th or higher in the order again I’m gonna shoot somebody.
The ‘pen finally pitches well only to top it off with hitting a guy in the foot, walking LoDuca and Langerhans (2 guys hitting .200 or lower) and giving up a IF hit that Vazquez should have been able to at least get a glove on. These guys looked like they quit tonight. What the hell. Shit.

Ok...
now I feel better. Went to the OKC site and saw what JMJ and Davis did.
Davis now has 9 HR’s and a 1.131 OPS in OKC. I changed my mind again, he needs to stay in OKC another month so I can see him play. I need to see the best player in the minors in person.

I fell asleep somewhere in the 13th inning (dont laugh i had been up since 5am) and wake up to read that they lost….ugh.
i kind of gave up hope when wash had kinsler freaking bunt!
