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.
say it aint so, joe!

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.
um.. murphy/kinsler can steal
not crush….

Stupid rookies
one of them missed the sign
"Here comes the version of Benoit that lets the other team put it out of reach. I hate that version."
-Athos
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
Murph
with two walks
More patience is the difference between David Murphy – the 4th OF and David Murphy – the Starter
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.
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
kins cant bunt
cut it out.
the preceding post is not nearly as negative or insulting as you think it is
Someone should tell Ian to only bunt
When there are runners on 1st and 2nd, not just 1st
How bout
Wright-6th
Frankie-7th
Eddie-8th
CJ-9th
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.
one inning is burned out?
with a day off tomorrow
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.
did not know we had an off day tomorrow
still, piss poor performance when sandwiched between rookie starters
Galarraga perfect game over
jinx worked

My favorite quote is from 1 when he goes
Board Member 1: I’ve never heard of half of these guys and the ones I do know are way past their prime.
Charlie Donovan: Most of these guys never had a prime.
Board Member 2: This guy here is dead.
Rachel Phelps: Cross him off then.

Davis
Nice to see him start to get some multi-hit games.
"An effortless 98" - Scott Gardner after Neftali Feliz's first AA pitch
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.
Signature! I don't need no stinking signature!!
go chris go!!!
he’s the only 1b we have had all season that has any chance of getting to that

You like him more than Hunter?
I’d take a reliable starter over a reliable reliever thank you very much.
no I voted for Hunter
but I do like him more than most of the guys like freaking JMJ getting votes. I am just of the opinion he should be getting votes now.

he'd have to throw into the dugout to hit Boggs
that was Byrd

Bradley is the one who got hit
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 what I thought at first and what I typed at first
but then looked at the line-up and saw Byrd in the 5 hole and that messed me up… my mistake.

which makes no sense
since he’s hit fine prior to today
he’s had games like this before, watch, he’ll do something awesome in his last AB
He has 2 singles and one HR since the break.
for a total of 3 for 12. .250 is not fine for someone who was leading the league in batting average at one point in this season.

Thats why he is hitting 8th
Hes doing a damn good job hitting 8th but I can’t imagine how bad he would look if he was hitting 5th or 6th and had men on base every time he came to bat

You know
There was an article up on the Rangers site about how Ron Washington is still going with Jamey Wright as his designated 7th inning man instead of Frankie Francisco… Ron is a fucking moron.
it sure better not be wright...
the electrician had a good run, but we wore him out and now he sucks. alas, such is baseball with no starting pitching staff.
frankie is still good to go.

"When it comes to Jeff Mathis, the story ends with us putting one in his earhole." - AJM, 7.7.08
don't understand
I don’t understand Wright’ s role on this team. Is he the 7th inning RP like today or a 9th inning sorta mop up guy like on Monday?
"An effortless 98" - Scott Gardner after Neftali Feliz's first AA pitch
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.
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.
5 run lead
Hence the “sorta mop up” duty. Why not bring in Rupe or Madrigal in that situation? It’s not like Wright needs the work.
"An effortless 98" - Scott Gardner after Neftali Feliz's first AA pitch
According to Washington
Designated 7th inning man. Apparently Ron doesn’t know that he has a 6.43 ERA in his last 11 appearances.
Still given up a run in 3 of his last 4 appearances
My point is when you’ve got FX2 out in the bullpen, who has a 1.29 ERA for his last 14 outings, there’s no point in watching Wright scuffle in the 7th inning if you don’t have to.
Apparantly Ron
doesn’t knee jerk after only 11 appearances when Jamey was one of our most reliable guys earlier this season and last season
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.

But find a new whipping boy, please. It’s getting putrid. He neither made the pitches that got hit and didn’t expect the throw from the OF to be in the general but not close direction of the plate.

for most of them i agree with you Agreen07
Eddie and Frankie are not like that nor is Padilla, the rest could be scared to pitch
If he could consistently
pitch with a WHIP of about 1.2 he would be great, but I think his high walks are somewhat of a concern
"Sooner or later, prospects kill you, because you hang onto them." - Greggo, 11/22/2005

CJ's confidence is clearly shot right now
so if you’re Wash you try to avoid putting him in high-pressure situations if possible. He could have used Frankie in the 8th and assuming he gets out of it, CJ could be closing out the 9th with a 3 run lead.

and of course, the angels immediately put up 5 runs
and nearly guarantee their win and 10.5 out.

If MB isn't being shopped
JD isn’t doing his job. I think JD is quietly shopping MB to gauge who is interested and what they are willing to pay. I have been reading that Colorado is wanting Buchholz or Kennedy for Fuentes.

"Sooner or later, prospects kill you, because you hang onto them." - Greggo, 11/22/2005
Assuming there will be bullpen and rotation upgrades in 2009
I think we compete. We have a top 2 offense in baseball. If our pitching was just average we would be a playoff contender but instead we have the worst pitching in baseball. This rotation gets you into the playoffs next year in my opinion:
Sheets
Greinke
Padilla
Hurley
Feldman/B-Mac
"Sooner or later, prospects kill you, because you hang onto them." - Greggo, 11/22/2005

3) how’d you talk Sheets into coming to TBiA?

"Sooner or later, prospects kill you, because you hang onto them." - Greggo, 11/22/2005
i agree...
that rotation (provided it stays somewhat healthy) gets the Rangers to the postseason next year… but I don’t see Hicks overpaying for Sheets AND paying half of Millwood’s contract. That’d get the 09 Salary around 77M without even looking at resigning Bradley or a setup man.

Well I didn't see the game today
but after watching the second Quentin homer it looks like finally C.J. Wilson paid the price.

One question
Also posted elsewhere. Does anyone have a count of games lost in the eighth inning or beyond, when multiple runs were given up, over the last two years?
Either I have a lasting impression, or it’s a lot of losses.

that sounds like a good question for the Evan Grant mailbag.

Done
Might not be answered, though.

I just didn't get that one...
why BGL in the 8th after Eddie G? Whay not Fx2 against a tough RH hitter in a crucial situation which is when he’s at his best? BGL hasn’t tried a 1+ inning save all year and that is the situation you choose to try it out in. No way to defend that decision. Very bad move.
It’s not all BGL and Wash’s fault though as the Electrician and Eddie G didn’t help out matters much either.
