Considering we've scored 0 runs.

Exactly 0 times this season, you’re already setting yourself up for failure.

We’ll score like 3-4, they’ll score a bunch more.

Move Bradley to RF

Hamilton to CF and keep Murphy in LF. Then make Max your DH. Now that is an amazing lineup.

That is not ...

... always an option. I am in Rangers territory so cant watch on mlb.tv but get more Astros games than Rangers on TV. So don’t assume that he is being cheap. He could just be the victim of some very archaic rules.

by Melmart1 on Jun 27, 2008 7:06 PM CDT up reply actions   0 recs

Maybe I'm just stupid for actually following rules...

but I pay for mlb.tv, and to have people getting it for free is kind of annoying.

by cmkelly29 on Jun 27, 2008 7:09 PM CDT up reply actions   0 recs

It's not about following rules ...

... if you live in San Antonio like me, FSN usually has the Astros on. Since I am considered Rangers territory though, I can’t use mlb.tv.

So why should I be the victim of some bullshit rules like that? How can I be in Rangers territory but get Astros games. FUCK THAT!!! When TIme Warner cable doesn’t show the Ragners on the alternate channel, you bet your ass I will watch a TV Ants link, rules be damned.

by Melmart1 on Jun 27, 2008 7:11 PM CDT up reply actions   0 recs

I'm not Bud Selig...

I don’t make the rules.

If it’s occasional, that’s one thing. If someone is watching every game for free, it kind of irks me.

I pay decent money to watch this team, and I don’t want to spend more than that on it next year because people have TVants figured out.

Well, TVants doesn't have every game

It’s hit and miss for a team like the Rangers. If you actually want to be garunteed to catch every game, you do have to have MLB.tv – so if it’s any consolation, you still are getting at least part of what you pay for.

you really shouldn't concern yourself with other people

i pay for mlb.tv but am happy to help out others with a free link. its not as nice as mlb.tv anyway. but, more importantly, what do I care what someone else is doing? more than that, how does it hurt me if someone else is benefiting?

If Mr. Selig would ease up on the money-grabbing 'broadcast rights'

and team ‘home areas’, it wouldn’t be as big an issue.

Take it from someone who lived 400mi away from DFW but couldn’t watch games on TV or MLB.tv because of the draconian rules..

you got it to work with an anonymous proxy?

I thought about it later and I guess its possible that mlb.com uses both billing zip code and IP address to block you so just wondering how you got it to work.

by ab03 on Jun 27, 2008 7:06 PM CDT up reply actions   0 recs

My issue with it

Was that I was putting the proxy in wrong to start with, and then one of the two you gave me didnt work.

When I figured it out, and got the right proxy, it worked. And as soon as the game started up, I went back to my normal setup.

I agree, I'm just pointing out the positive

He’s at least seeing some pitches (from the left side at least) so I still think theres something there, it’s just a matter of getting him in a groove. Rudy is supposed to be one of the best, he needs to help him out.

I think the best thing he could do

is really start tearing up LHP that way when we face a lefty he and Gerry would be the DH/C while M.B. played RF and MaxRam play 1B that would make us tough against lefties

I’d rather see what he can do, now that he’s healthy than continue to watch Gabbard walk people. If has the same problems Loe has with the 2nd time through the order well, let’s find that out now. Watching Gabbard’s complete inability to find the strike zone does nothing for this team now or in the future.

Yeah he's coming in right now

So I guess they’d rather go with him than Mendoza or you may just see 2 or 3 innings from both tonight.

ok

Rupe needs to warm up quick. gabbard isn’t anywhere close. myers was pitching way better than him

Davis hits lefty

but throws it right handed. Weird.

Sidney Ponson update

Thru 3 innings, he’s allowed 4 hits, 4 walks, has thrown a wild pitch, and has hit a batter, but hasn’t allowed any runs to score.

Gabbard = Garbage

I had hoped he would be a cagey lefty like Kenny…not a crappy lefty like Koronka….

by srptex on Jun 27, 2008 8:28 PM CDT reply actions   0 recs

gabbard wasn' the centerpiece of that deal

but i guess epstein can claim victory in that trade if he wants because 1 of the 3 hasn’t really turned out great, while of the three look pretty good and his piece in return absolutely sucked

by ab03 on Jun 27, 2008 8:30 PM CDT up reply actions   0 recs

Oh he can't claim a win

I’m just saying that he didn’t have any remorse, adding Gabbard to the deal. That’s all I’m saying.

by Hull Fan on Jun 27, 2008 8:32 PM CDT up reply actions   0 recs

So, if Gabbard is pulled out of the rotation

He has to be sent down, right? Because I can’t imagine that another guy who can’t throw strikes would have any use in the bullpen.

by lonestarJon on Jun 27, 2008 8:28 PM CDT reply actions   0 recs

Why should he be any different than everyone else

in the pen? Besides if we go with Mendoza they’re going to want a go for Long Relif. Especially if Rupe becomes the 7th or 8th inning guy like some think he should be.

nope sorry

Can’t give any credit for Millwood giving up 12 hits, 7 runs, and totally sucking, even if he did go 5 innings. Ace my ass.

Again at 7-0 I think they

would have left whoever out there to be sacrificed. That he struggled through just isn’t to be commended.

sure it does, you putz!

even in a total loss… he saved an already tired bullpen a couple of innings…

if you’re gonna lose bad, might as well throw your regular number of pitches, and try and go five.

Think he will respond like

the Cowboys safety when Pacman Jones took all of the reps at CB and he was told he might be moving to Safety?

Henry’s experiment at safety is very much like adding Zach Thomas and re-signing T.O. It is all about doing whatever is necessary to finally reach the Super Bowl, regardless of egos and agendas.

Henry gets this. The day we talked he had been asked by the crowd if he felt at all crowded by Pacman and the two draft picks spent on cornerbacks.

“The more the better,” he said. “Right now, I am still the starting corner. Whatever happens, if I get shuffled around, I will handle that when it comes…. I’m just going to go with the flow. If that is the best way for us to be successful and win a championship, then I am willing to do it.”

I'm not going to defend Young,

but out of this lineup if he’s not hitting 2nd who should be?

by Hull Fan on Jun 27, 2008 8:38 PM CDT up reply actions   0 recs

Everyone will laugh at me for this

But as much as Salty walks, and as many pitches as he sees, I’d like to see him in the 2-hole. He might see some better pitches with Hamilton and Bradley behind him too.

by lonestarJon on Jun 27, 2008 8:41 PM CDT up reply actions   0 recs

Salty

I would like to see Salty get his average away from the Mendoza line…I dont care where he hits….just hit.

by srptex on Jun 27, 2008 8:43 PM CDT up reply actions   0 recs

That's not the most horrible idea I've heard.

Doubt it happens as long as Wash is here, but giving it a try for a week wouldn’t be awful. The problem is there’s no way Mike Young will accept being the 7th-9th hitter on this team.

by Hull Fan on Jun 27, 2008 8:44 PM CDT up reply actions   0 recs

So can anyone tell me

why Gabbard was Brought back up after just 1 start did I miss something it wasn’t a rehab stint was it?

by blueballlefty on Jun 27, 2008 8:38 PM CDT reply actions   0 recs

Mendoza was still rehabing

and who else should they have gone with? Now that Mendoza is healthy I expect him to be given an opportunity soon.

by Hull Fan on Jun 27, 2008 8:39 PM CDT up reply actions   0 recs

IDK they could have let a number of guys do it

Lizard, Loe, Rupe it was just for a little while and I dont think he was called up when Mendoza got hurt he was sent down to work on his control, and obviously 1 game was not nearly enough.
