Does that work with
Any other group?
I’m pretty sure that rationale is routinely shot down across all categories.
by brettgardner on Jun 24, 2008 7:12 PM CDT up reply actions 0 recs
Yes.
Mostly because I don’t see much difference between that and any other spiteful epithet, and the fact that you included it in the context you did, to LAMF, struck me as exceedingly boorish and rude, attributes which do offend me.

...that word was tossed around pretty loosely this weekend on a job i was working on… by the person i was working for… who just so happened to be what i’m inquiring about…

I know fans and players love him
but he must be traded while his value is highest. Don’t let your heart outrule your head JD. Talk to Boston and Tampa, one of them is going to want his bat down the stretch.
by Hull Fan on Jun 24, 2008 6:49 PM CDT up reply actions 0 recs
Last year one of the best things
was the perceived bidding wars going on for Teixeira and Gagne. Supposed offers were popping up all over for both players and, in the end, it allowed JD to be in the driver’s seat for both deals. It’s all about timing, and if JD can create another bidding war over Milton, Padilla, or Millwood…the likelihood of a deal will definitely increase.
by SaltyDawg on Jun 24, 2008 6:52 PM CDT up reply actions 0 recs
Millwood and Padilla
Why are people so eager to get rid of our two best and most consistant pitchers. Granted if a team wants to overwhelm us with a primo package it would be foolish to turn it down but for a fanbase that complains about pitching so much to want to trade away two guys who have been pretty darn good for us this year and two years ago it kinda baffles me

by bigsteve on Jun 24, 2008 6:56 PM CDT up reply actions 0 recs
I am not saying that either one needs to be trading
but…if a few teams decide either of those guys are the piece they need to put them over the top and offer the Rangers big time packages…you at least consider it. I am thrilled with Padilla’s year and this post-DL Millwood.
by SaltyDawg on Jun 24, 2008 7:22 PM CDT up reply actions 0 recs
It needs to be a nice haul for....
Bradley to be delt. We need a teams top prospect back, or i don’t deal him.

There's no way you'll get Price
out of Tampa but they have several other nice options to choose from, especially if you can get more than a one on one for him. Quality and quantity both count.

Yeah but at least when Hurley is on the mound and gives up that bomb, 90% of the time its with no one on base. He has good command. He will learn how to keep it down. He has to. But again, id rather give up a bomb after no walks and no one on than the occasional bomb with two on. Hurley’s a keeper. He will get there for sure!!

by baseballismyboyfriend on Jun 24, 2008 7:50 PM CDT up reply actions 0 recs
He was just building up a poor reputation
to have runners run on him more. With his amazing talent, he knew he’d get all of them out and clear the bases on his own and all he had to do was a let a few runners steal on him earlier in the season.

people are happy a guy who has had to retool his delivery is able to keep the ball over the plate enough to either get people to hit the ball or at the very least not walk somebody. Like was said once his velocity comes back, which it will, the Ks will rise

He is able to either be more selective because Hammy has knocked the guys on base in, or he gets good pitches to hit because a couple of the guys in front of him are already on. Not a knock on the guy at all but he is in probably one of the best hitting spots in the majors in this lineup.

Aww, Crap
Astros walking batters. This has always spelled doom.
Before it’s all said and done, we’ll walk in a run. I can see it coming.

Nice AB by Salty there
And Ron, stop being afraid to use the bench.

vazquez can take a walk at least.
duran would either HR or strikeout.
Bring up Chris Davis

injuries
Our injuries are really hampering us right now. With Boggs already having to come in and Bradley presumably out that only leaves Max and Duran on the bench. You can’t be using those guys without thinking about the consequences and making sure someone can play defense
Bryan Smith (12:17:17 PM PT): Justin Smoak and Josh Hamilton. The AL West might just have found their Bash Brothers, v. 2.0.

Well, hell.
This might not be our night tonight. Not giving up hope, but man, we are snakebit when we are 1 game over.

that's upsetting
a guy who dominates lefties against vazquez who is struggling against lefties horribly….
