OT

Former Ranger Great Armando Galarraga has a perfect game through 6 vs the Royals.
Jinx! Jinx! Jinx!
That should put an end to that.

Poor KC

First 19 runs, and now this

Plaschke: Scioscia, the former Dodgers catcher, is the model manager who has created an atmosphere of winning.
Junior:It's that simple. Mike Scioscia brings a Glade Plug-In labeled "Winning™" into the clubhouse and everyone who breathes it in gains 15 points in average.

My favorite

thing about Millwood’s outing is that after all the work Wash and the other starters did to make sure the bullpen was fresh, Millwood comes in and wrecks it all again

I wouldn't mind seeing

him again against lefies. His sample size was so small and he was in a slump. Give the Murph a chance to prove he can handle lefties.

by Hull Fan on Jul 23, 2008 2:59 PM CDT up reply actions   0 recs

That's more a product

of a long period of free swinging to start the year, though

His minor league record indicates that at the very least, he should be able to get a .70-.80 pt difference between BA and OBP. If he does that, and continues to slg in the .460s (and maybe even improve), he’ll be fine as a starter

caught stealing

So if Davis doesn’t get caught stealing then we would have Hamilton coming to bat with 2 outs and 2 men in scoring position right? Outs on the base paths really frustrate me. I’m all for small ball against ace pitchers when hits are hard to come by, but in a game like this? No thank you.

by RangerMad on Jul 23, 2008 3:36 PM CDT reply actions   0 recs

That wasn't mop up

We went into the 8th in a save situation which means Eddie then CJ. Then we scored runs to make it a non save situation and it was either madrigal or Wright to come in unless you want to bring in CJ in a nonsave situation which he has struggled in this year. Wrights role is primarily a setup man and he has stuck to that for the most part.

Washington....

seems to stay with pitcher too long.

He did it to feldman

he always does it to Wright and beniot

usually goes to long with Millwood

I'm wondering that too

Tomorrow’s an off day, so not using Frankie in this game doesn’t make any sense whatsoever…

this should be interesting

maybe CJ likes facing the big hitters

I hate watching this crap on Gameday

Plaschke: Scioscia, the former Dodgers catcher, is the model manager who has created an atmosphere of winning.
Junior:It's that simple. Mike Scioscia brings a Glade Plug-In labeled "Winning™" into the clubhouse and everyone who breathes it in gains 15 points in average.
