I guess it was the beatings made me wise. But I'm not about to give thanks, or apologize.

This team tonight
except Hurley = Fail.

i dont know that i like that news
it obviously wasnt going to be a broken leg or something, i was hoping for something that didnt involve joints.
Bring up Chris Davis
vasquez ops
against righties – 1.010
against lefties – 0.489

our injuries
with Bradley not being able to play the field and only Max and Duran left to play you have to keep some flexibility in case of a double swithc or something. Thats one of the reasons the NL sucks
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.
That's great...
... Valverde waiting to slam the door and make some contorted, stupid looking face on the mound after strike 3. I can’t wait.

Hey Guys
We’ve started calling Carlos Lee “El Burro.”
I believe you guys recall from his brief visit with the Rangers his ability to, shall we say, speed up to a trot when running the basepaths.
We call him el turdo
"Would you mind walking a time or two so I could drive in some runs"? Milton Bradley
JD is el turdo for renting him

He's Tolerable Defensively
And he was a welcome addition after we suffered through the likes of Morgan Ensberg and Jason Lane.
We may regret it in a few years. Probably.
Hammy
left knee inflammation. day to day. Good to hear although with no DH he will have to be able to at least play RF the next couple days otherwise our offense is going to suck something fierce
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.
because we're tearing it up right now?
"You got a guy coming up there who can’t hit water if he fell out of a boat." - Tom Grieve on Richie Sexson, 5.8.2008
exactly my point
take Hammy out of what we are right now and its dreadful
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.
not from what they have said
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.
put him at
1st base if your not going to call up Davis, just a thought
by blueballlefty on Jun 24, 2008 9:13 PM CDT up reply actions
stop with the video games
you can’t just put guys wherever you want and expect them to be able to play it. This is one of the stupidest ideas yet
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.
Hey
if Mench can make the transition in two or three games surely Hammy could take some GB’s and be able to do it for a game or two, but your right look how bad Berkman has been at it
by blueballlefty on Jun 24, 2008 9:16 PM CDT up reply actions
yeah how did that work out for Mench?
and did he do that in the minors or majors?
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.
who cares if it
was AAA or up here he played fine there and he is playing in the league right now isnt he? If you were to put Hammy at 1st once a week until we get a more solid player there I dont think that would be the worst Idea since this is his first full pro season in like 4 years.
by blueballlefty on Jun 24, 2008 9:21 PM CDT up reply actions
Josh Hamilton can
play anywhere and it couldnt be any worse than Cat or Shelty,

how does this happen?
the rangers go in and only take 1 out of 3 from the mets, and now the mariners have gone in and taken the first 2, completely destroying the Mets, while the immortal RA Dickey threw 7 shutout innings tonight….
First Hurley, now Max, and eventually, Davis. man for the first time in a while, it sure feels good to be a Ranger’s fan.
His power knuckle curve was on tonight.
"Would you mind walking a time or two so I could drive in some runs"? Milton Bradley
I hope he pitches like he did
when he was with the Rangers. RIGHT NOW!

3rd out on the basepaths?
I know Bourn isn’t considered a plus arm but you have to think they were just being cautious
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.
Woooooo, I'm so excited I'm pissing myself...
IT’S A DOUBLE SWITCH. WOOOOOOOOOOO!
Stars in a Texas Night Sky, a Dallas Stars blog from a fan's perspective.
Exactly...
you don’t see strategy like that in the AL! I mean it takes a lot of strategy to replace the latest crappy NL hitter you have in your lineup with a pitcher and bring on a defensive replacement. No AL manager understands that…
...mainly because they woudln’t know what a crappy hitter is generally.
Stars in a Texas Night Sky, a Dallas Stars blog from a fan's perspective.
Brocail
Is normally very good for us, but he did lose us the second game to the Rays in our most recent series because Coop couldn’t manage Valverde well.
Who also lost us two games and almost a third.
Byrd get a hit or die.

Coming in to todays game.
Byrd had a slugging percentage of .338 against righties.
There’s no way he’s our best option.
by JimCrankshaft on Jun 24, 2008 9:35 PM CDT up reply actions
wait till tomorrow
if Hammy is out Byrd will probably bat 4th
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.
Cause Ron Washington is a genius.
"Point is I could have had them if I wanted. But I DO NOT lower my standards. Do they know who I am? Do they know my status? Thats what I thought." -miles
probably because he wanted to split the 2 lefties up
in josh and murphy
gamecast
im watching on tv but it looked like 5/6 pitches to byrd were out of the strike zone. just no patience.
No it wasn't
He swung over the top of it…looked like it in real time…but pretty clear he whiffed on the replay
the ball looked like it changed direction in slow-motion
hence the catcher missing the ball…
Grieve: The Yanks have struggled so far. - Lewin: Yeah, cry me a bag of money.
I could be wrong...
but I am watching it on DVR right now and it looks like it’s just some nasty tailing action on the pitch…no contact from Byrd
no thats a Byrd Strain..
the Byrd just drained the life out of the Rangers..what little life we had anyway
this is just setting up
a maxram go ahead HR.
i care not about reserve catchers in a game we are losing.
Bring up Chris Davis
Bring up JMJ or Cruz.
DFA Byrd.

Byrd
He’s been hitting pretty decently so far this season. You really want to just get rid of him?
by Adam J. Morris on Jun 24, 2008 9:33 PM CDT up reply actions
if he has no trade value
then what purpose is he? hes not good enough better over JMJ or Cruz to block playing time if you think one of them needs it.
if he has trade value.. trade him.
hes been fine, but he has no long term purpose and while a decent start v lefties, is expendable.
Bring up Chris Davis
Keep in mind...
.... if it wasn’t for his catch, we’d be down at least two more runs.

I wonder if I can cut my screen off between strike 3 and the valverde mound dance. His antics makes me want to break something.

Fuck You Benoit
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.
Oh hell.
Here comes the version of Benoit that lets the other team put it out of reach.
I hate that version.

well that makes the loss a little easier...
but I still want the rangers to score a run so Benoit will get the fucking loss
Uh ...
they’d have to tie it before Hurley would be off the hook.
they were already behind

The hideous right-hander Benoit vs. Berkman? I think I would have been shocked if he didn’t hit a home run.

"Would you mind walking a time or two so I could drive in some runs"? Milton Bradley
Knew we should have traded Beniot last year...
He was fools gold last year….now we are just left with the fool.
I would of left his dumbass in there until he got 3 outs or his arm fell off.
jerk-off.
I think he is gone after tonight.
The look on Wash’s face when he walked the first guy he faced said it all. Good-bye and good riddance Jack.

Well that is very very sad then..
because he is just stunningly awful. He does not merit a spot in a major-league bullpen. PERIOD.

Umm ..
You are kididng, right? What do previous years stats have to do with a decision on 2008 Benoit? He is a colossal EPIC fail. He needs to be gone.

Come on
If a player has success for several years, then gets off to a bad star tthis year, he should be released?
by Adam J. Morris on Jun 24, 2008 9:50 PM CDT up reply actions
yes, he absolutely unequivocally SHOULD..
be released. Again, do you want to win baseball games? If the answer is yes, you have to let this guy go.
Hey, it could be worse...
by HighPlainsGrifter on Jun 24, 2008 9:53 PM CDT up reply actions
So...
The Astros should release Roy Oswalt?
by Adam J. Morris on Jun 24, 2008 9:55 PM CDT up reply actions
your second question
that really is the dumbest thing that has ever been said. you realize that’s what stats are for, right? documented evidence of the past to predict the future.
Rare Gnats Sex
are you?
How could you possibly defend 2008 Jack Benoit? Do you want to win baseball games, or do you want to lose them?
Hey, it could be worse...
by HighPlainsGrifter on Jun 24, 2008 9:47 PM CDT up reply actions
even if I thought we should release him
theres no way on earth we actually would this quickly. not with our bullpen.
Bring up Chris Davis
One could easily argue..
thgere’s no chance anyone they bring in to replace him could do any worse. I mean did you just watch that inning? He had a five-pitch walk and then presented a silver-platter home run ball to Berkman. Ouch, he is our opposition’s best friend.
Hey, it could be worse...

you've decided that since 1972
there has not been anybody worse than benoit? are you sure?
Rare Gnats Sex
Let's not get lost in trivia here.
The fact remains Benoit has been absolutely awful this year. Stunningly awful. If he stays, it says to me that the Texas Rangers do not care about winning.
Hey, it could be worse...
by HighPlainsGrifter on Jun 24, 2008 9:58 PM CDT up reply actions
Robinson Cano has been awful this year
So has Dustin Pedroia. So has Roy Oswalt. So has Troy Tulowitzki.
by Adam J. Morris on Jun 24, 2008 9:59 PM CDT up reply actions
yeah. and your point is?
Each of those players is much much better than Benoit. Anyone in baseball would say the same. Pedroia and Tulo rookies of the year or in serious contention. Oswalt= perennial Cy Young candidate.
Benoit? not so much.
Hey, it could be worse...
by HighPlainsGrifter on Jun 24, 2008 10:02 PM CDT up reply actions
As previously posted on here...
2005-2007 – 3.32 ERA. If you want to point to the history card, your argument is lacking.

by Adam J. Morris on Jun 24, 2008 10:04 PM CDT up reply actions
They are established outstanding players.
Benoit is/was a journeyman reliever- even in those years you overpraise.
Is your daughter married to Benoit or what? This blind infatuation of a guy who is just murdering us makes no sense.

by HighPlainsGrifter on Jun 24, 2008 10:05 PM CDT up reply actions
Saying that a guy...
...who has had success out of the bullpen the past several years, and who is under contract through 2009, shouldn’t be released is “blind infatuation”?
by Adam J. Morris on Jun 24, 2008 10:07 PM CDT up reply actions
Please..
just tell me how come you still support a guy who has been absolutely awful. I really want to know how you justify it.
Hey, it could be worse...
by HighPlainsGrifter on Jun 24, 2008 10:09 PM CDT up reply actions
Not Adam...and I don't
necessarily “support” Benoit. But I do support the idea that something is wrong with him physically. Even before he found any success at the ML level, his stuff was never as bad as it has been recently.

is that a real question?
do you actually have doubt about that?
you’re not defending his crappy play, you’re saying that he is going to get better
Rare Gnats Sex
He's had 30 innings
He’s got a 5.50-something ERA.
And he also has a track record of success in a relief role, and is under contract through next season.

I’d like to see him in more mid-relief situations, just for the heckuvit. If he sucks, then just don’t use him in those anymore.

Rangers score 2 runs in 9th…Valverde breaks his arm celebrating…Hurley challenges Benoit to a cage match

don't worry too much
the rangers are still +8 in run differential, so if you win one of the next two, the silver boot should not be in jeopardy

Shit.
We’re 0-? when we’re a game over .500? Very frustrating.
Pretty Soon
He’ll be mouthing that Lidge stuff before we traded him: “I don’t care about my ERA as long as I get the save.”
You get one punch to the face...
You hittin Valverde or Benoit?

Can it be a glancing blow...
and hit both Valverde and Sexson in the face on the same punch?

Valverde
at least Benoit realizes that he sucks

Valverde
with brass knuckles.

hahha
My position on this one is pretty obvious. But if we just DFA him, I could stand not punching him.
Hey, it could be worse...

No one is defending his shitty play...
... it’s your calls for him to lose his spot that is drawing opposition.

I can't believe what I read here. I really can't..
Give me a reason why he should keep his spot. I mean we want the same thing (at least I think so)- the Rangers to win as many games as possible.
Benoit has failed in that regard time and time again this year.

FX2 has failed plenty this year and has had control problems.
Wright failed miserably after the Oakland series, but looks to be getting it back again. CJ has had a bad year. Should they all be DFA’d too? Who would you replace Benoit with? You’d just assume DFA Benoit instead of trying to let him work it out and possibly getting some trade value from him? Perhaps you weren’t here in April/May, when he started well and we were discussing his trade value to various teams. Thus, he hasn’t sucked this entire year.
Hell, following your logic, why wasn’t the entire 2007 team DFA’d last May?

good point
about the DL. +1. He doesn’t look right.

Even if he's not hurt
a DL gives him 30 free days in the minors. Let him work it out there, you don’t give up on the guy that was your best reliever last year.

What a depressing game
It’s back to processing police reports for me. Maybe that’ll be more uplifting.

Damn I gotta say
Before I thought that bullpens were worthless, just throw 6 or 7 failed starters out there and you will be fine.
Now I see the light. Trade everybody for pitching.
If anyone should be DFA'd,
it should be Shelton. Bring up Chris Davis.

One postgame question
Does Wash have some evil incantation or voodoo spell on his head about 8th innings? Unless Benoit’s “tired arm” is actually an injury, and it may be, his stuff is nothing like it has been 2005-2007. Byrd’s K was in fact a foul ball. Salty was on base three times. MY was on base three times. Tough game to lose.

interesting points Ed!
A voodoo spell? Well that’s an interesting slant. We may have to do an exorcism to rid him of such proclivities.
Lonestarjon get the holy water and cross ready I’ll hold him down while you do the ritual.
Burn his sunflower seeds in the background for the projectile vomiting and head spinning effects. I don’t know what else to do besides a brain transplant?
As if the night weren't depressing enough
Look at what the Mariners did to the Mets
Note the winning pitcher.

Is that
the same O.Perez that dominated us last week, made us look like a bunch of 12 year olds with the bats!
by blueballlefty on Jun 25, 2008 12:22 AM CDT up reply actions
Yes
He’s a free agent this winter, BTW. Good pitcher, but very inconsistent. He’s either lights out or very bad, and you never really know which version is gonna show up out on the mound.
