once again, no Max. I say this is Salty’s last chance to make an impression.
Once again Davis batting 8th
"Sooner or later, prospects kill you, because you hang onto them." - Greggo, 11/22/2005
he seems to be doing okay batting 8th
maybe moving him and murphy up 1 spot and byrd down to 8th would be better?
but davis is getting plenty of rbi’s where he’s at. hitting behind murphy ain’t terrible.
i guess blalock/murphy/davis would be a nice 5-6-7 combo.
http://www.buchanan4pres2008.org/
NIXON: NOW MORE THAN EVER
yep and thats fine
why put added pressure on the kid. Hes obviously thriving in the 8 spot. Leave him there the rest of the season and then next year he can start off in the 6 hole and move up to the 5 hole eventually
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.
why would there be any more pressure in the 5th spot?
you think in the 8th spot he doesnt think the team cares what he does?
murphy had his big run early this year in the 5th spot. davis was doing fine in the 6th/7th spots when he was there.
I dont think it matters where he bats for his production. But it might matter to the team scoring runs.
the preceding post is not nearly as negative or insulting as you think it is
pressure
He can go up there more often in no pressure sitautions. The pitcher may not focus before the game on the scouting report for the 8th hitter as he does for the 5th hitter. He is still showing a tendancy to go after off speed stuff rather easily. While he is making strides he is still very vulnerable to alot of stuff ML pitchers can throw at him. Being lower in the lineup allows him to work on things more and he will probably get more good pitches to hit which he is doing.
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.
so the argument is that there are fewer people on base for our hottest HR hitter
and thats a good thing because he might see a few easier pitches.
i disagree.
the preceding post is not nearly as negative or insulting as you think it is
Hes our hottest HR hitter
Because hes in more spots to get good pitches to hit. Have you seen the at bats where all he gets is off speed stuff? Yeah he flails away like hes never swung a bat before. When a pitcher needs to get an out, like the 5th spot in the order most times, they just go to that. Obviously Davis has made adjustments but just because hes on a hot streak doesn’t mean he should automatically be thrown into the heart of the lineup.
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.
More spots...
to get good pitches in the 8 spot? What about the guy hitting behind him? Eventually these pitchers are just going to start to pitch around him to face Salty/Laird or whoever is hitting ninth.
I’d like to see him hitting behind Board Game.
"The only good is knowledge and the only evil is ignorance."-Socrates
Until he starts walking more
They won’t. This is a perfect spot for him to work on his plate discipline. You get a pitch to hit you hit it otherwise take. In the 5th spot he may feel the pressure to drive in those runs and chase bad pitches. Its working. Why change it?
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.
It is working...
but this kid is so talented that I don’t think hitting 5th or 8th will really effect him that much. I think Byrd hitting in the 5 hole is sapping this team of even more offensive potential.
"The only good is knowledge and the only evil is ignorance."-Socrates
so now davis is only this good because he gets pitches in the 8th spot?
hell, hamilton to the 7th spot. HR title.
the connection isnt anywhere near as strong as you are suggesting.
in my opinoin.
the preceding post is not nearly as negative or insulting as you think it is
Look
Hes a rookie. At times he has looked like Babe Ruth. And at times he has looked like he should never have been drafted. I don’t think him hitting in the 8 spot is hurting him or the team. While its easy to just say his numbers would easily translate to the 5 spot its not that easy. Pitchers before a game go over the lineup and get scouting reports. I have no evidence but I imagine they focus more on the guys in the heart of the lineup than the ones at the bottom of the lineup.
Also if he is in the 5 spot he will most likely find himself in more run producing situations. While he may have more RBIs because of this in the long run is it best for him? The knock on him when he came up was he didn’t walk enough. If you put him in run producing situations he may press and try and knock in those runs and not try and work the count or what not. In the 8 spot he is able to do that more. Like I said there are times where he flails at off speed pitches and can’t hit a fastball to save his life. But because hes at the bottom of the order and pitchers may not pay as much attention to him he gets more pitches to hit and has.
Im not advocating leaving him there for his entire career. But hes been up a month. Lets not rush him by throwing him to the heart of the order just 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.
It actually might be a good idea
You have Hamilton getting all the RBIs from Kinsler and Young, and then Bradley cleaning up what Hamilton misses. So you can hope one or more of Blalock, Byrd and Murphy can get on base to create some RBI opportunities for the Beasticon.
I'd heard Saturday
Laird will be with the team, but won’t start at catcher in order ot let him recover from the hectic travel schedule a bit… that sounds to me like he would be available as a pinch-hitter or in case Salty gets hurt.
I would think
if he had’nt been making a good impression with the people that count, he would’nt be playing, no?

Yes, but you have to pay for MLB gameday audio
streaming it from KRLD’s site will get you some syndicated talk radio show instead during the game. Selig wants his cash.
what are you going to do with it?
its not televised in oak either.

My mlb.tv links list doesn't show the gray square with red-dotted outline next to it
That means no national live blackout… so I’ll give it a try and see if it works.
I noticed that, too.
Who would the comentators be talking to if only MLB TV people could watch the game?
I guess we’ll find out in 10.
Or they might pick up the home radio feed
like they did that one time when they were having technical difficulties with the Josh and Tom audio feed so they ran KRLD audio for a couple of innings.
from the startlegram
The Rangers have decided to put Kevin Millwood on the 15-day disabled list today rather than Sunday. Millwood will clear a spot for Gerald Laird, who was activated today even though he didn’t arrive at the ballpark until just after 11 a.m. Max Ramirez will probably be shipped out Sunday to make room for Eric Hurley.

For all of those that say
Murphinator is a 4th OF, I’m sorry yesterday made you all look so foolish.
There is no such thing as global warming. David Murphy was cold, so he turned the sun up.
it really should have been
the many games where Murphy has been great that should have stopped that argument
By 2028, Mark Teixeira will be in the HOF.
-The Outlaw
I have trouble calling a .319 OBP great.
Even though I do think we’d be just fine with Murphy as a starting outfielder down the road, there’s very much an argument.
109 OPS+ and good defense in the OF
He’ll never be a big OBP guy, but if he can keep up with that power and go back to being the effective contact hitter he was, his OBP can will be easier to deal with.
By 2028, Mark Teixeira will be in the HOF.

And
he’s still a rook.

"If you ain't got no money, ain't nobody calls you honey," Bo Diddley
And I still wouldn't call that great.
And I agree if people think you can do better, but still like the idea of Murphy as a 4th outfielder.
I would disagree with people who say he can’t be any better than a 4th outfielder.
my point wasn't to say that Murphy's season is great on the level of Kinsler's
but rather that he has had quite a few great games like yesterday. He went through a bad slump leading into the AS break, but really has been a huge reason this offense has been as amazing as it has been
By 2028, Mark Teixeira will be in the HOF.
-The Outlaw
last 17 games played
9 walks
13 strikeouts
If that trend holds even close to true, his obp will increase significantly.
And my point is that his bad games matter just as much as the great games.
I really like Murphy and would be happy if he was our starting left fielder going forward, I’m just saying one game does not end the 4th OF crowd’s argument, and that he’s also had many bad games.
I’m not of the 4th OF crowd.
FWIW, I do think his OPS+ is a little misleading because his OBP is really not good, and OPS treats OBP and SLG as equal. His GPA is only .249.
But I get the point: he’s above average and very useful. One, or a few games, though, don’t prove or disprove that.
agreed with the last point
and rather than get into a stats argument right now, I’ll just leave it at that so I can enjoy the game :D
By 2028, Mark Teixeira will be in the HOF.
-The Outlaw
What are "many" bad games? Who hasn't had "many" bad games?
Kinsler? Bradley? Their OBP and hitting streaks suggest the same. Anyone else is fair game for having slumps and rough periods.

Last night was a microcosm of his importance to this team.
His entire body of work suggests a solid hitter currently 7th in the league in RBIs and 2nd on the team.

And someone could easily say in a bad game:
That game was a microcosm of the problems he creates for the team.
You cannot, for either argument, just look at one game. You have to look at the body of work.
By looking at RBIs, you’re looking at body of work. Just like if someone looks at OBP.
RBIs are a team stat, though.
RBIs are a team stat...
How? In that hitters depend on people getting on base in front of the them? If that’s your position, it’s way the hell too broad. Besides, most guys with high rbi numbers are in the top of the lineup… Murphy has been in the bottom part of the linup for much of the year and still produced.

You only lose your DH if you move the DH to a position
Say, if you have Laird catching and Salty at DH and MaxRam and Teagarden aren’t up, then Laird gets hurt and Salty has to move from DH to C, then your pitcher has to bat.

And yes, it’s official…Uncle Milty has been booted.

another infield hit
wonderful.

young can't move to 3rd fast enough
wonder if the re-sign vasquez or some other one year stop gap if they’ll still move young because this is a beating.
I think he gets moved
now or during the off season. JD has to see how horrible my is and know improving his infield defense will help his young pitchers out. He’s cost what? six runs so far this series? How many this season?
MY
is actually not terrible, and if you are bitching about that throwing error, then may I ask you why you would like to move him further away from 1st base?

it wasnt a throwing error...
the preceding post is not nearly as negative or insulting as you think it is
I'm mainly bitching about last night
and the fact that he refuses to get in front of the damn ball to field it. I don’t question his arm so much but really at 3b he’ll have less opportunities to screw up as opposed to SS. His damn contract keeps him here, moving him away from the most demanding position can only help this infield. Or do you disagree?
I think everybody
has a better argument with Kinsler deserving to be moved than anybody else. I have never seen anybody refuse to get in front of a ball when fielding it or charge a ground ball or catch a pop fly with two hand than Kinsler. Dont get me wrong I love both of them and wouldn’t want any other double play combo in the league, just saying Kinsler makes more mistakes than Young!

So the A's announcers are trying to figure out an A's player who hasn't gotten enough Hall of Fame consideration.
They decide on Bert Campaneris. Seriously.
And their silly argument is that he compares well to mistakes who don’t belong in the Hall of Fame (and it’s further idiotic that they put Phil Rizzuto in the mistake category).
What makes this especially silly is not just that Campy is a stretch, or that the argument in his favor sucks, but that Gene **ing Tenace is a really, really good answer to the question and he’s just getting ignored.
I want to shoot them.

JD drew homers
in case anyone does believe a ranger can win mvp if the team is 10 games out….. hes a threat i think.
the preceding post is not nearly as negative or insulting as you think it is
well rather you can or not
its still a mvp factor. not the whole thing, but a factor.

i don't understand taking cat out there
he needs ABs, something could be up.
Josh Hamilton is better than you.
thats my only thinking too
understand the matchup, but showcasing Cat much more important that an at bat for max

Value
You don’t want Cat up there against lefties too much, because if he fails against them, that only serves to bring his value down.
uh, hes going down tomorrow.

the past two weeks we needed a backup catcher
sure, we could have brought someone up or used some vet, but whatever. just a couple weeks.
not perfectly handled though, ill give you that.
i think wash hates him calling games personally.
the preceding post is not nearly as negative or insulting as you think it is
I think millwood bitched and wash listened
He should have told Millwood to shove it and teach the kid rather than complain while he’s sucking ass on the mound. Max needs to play to get better, bitching about how he calls the game isn’t going to improve it.
+1
Personally, I think a giving guy with a 5.40 ERA the privledge of choosing his own catcher is insane. I also think Millwood’s kind of a douche for insisting upon it.
absolutely agree
the kowtowing to Millwood is absurd. he’s the distraction on the field not the kid who’s still learning behind the plate. His defense is much better than people expected but I imagine the hardest thing about catching is calling the game and he’ll only improve with experience and instruction. Millwood needs to sit at the end of the bench and not say a word till he’s worthy of about half that contract let alone his negative value right now. It’s really crap that Wash makes excuses for him.
i tihnk its blalock who needs the pressure of the 5 spot lifted
switch ‘em!

Girardi is one horrible Manager
he puts on the the hit and run way too much and in stupid situations.
Josh Hamilton is better than you.
It's apples and oranges of crappy managers.
Girardi can’t do in-game, hit and run type maneuvers.
Wash can’t handle a pitching staff.
"But the point is, [Jeff] Mathis is a bush-league uber douche." -lonestarJon
his lineup selection baffeles as well
not to mention his in game decisions about bunting and small ball. And…well the list goes far beyond his abysmal inability to handle this terrible pitching staff. Though I think he and Conner are going to run Wright into the ground at this rate.
MaxRam
you know, I wouldnt be shocked if they tried to cash in on MaxRam’s huge eyar and trade him right now.
doesnt seem like they like him as a catcher defensively, and with Chris Davis assuring that hes at least somewhat for real, Milton Bradley maybe sticking around, and justin smoak not far off….
the preceding post is not nearly as negative or insulting as you think it is
ya, it might be good to sell high on max
and keep laird, hope salty gets better, and have TT for a great defensive catcher
Feliz and Hurley. The 1-2 punch of the future
you don't get rid of max
till you know for sure about Milton’s contract status and health long term. He’s the best RH bat we have that could fill the huge void in our lineup. Trade Laird now but don’t make a decision on the other three till you know what Milt is going to do.
Now Byrdman goes yard
wow.

well, i suppose 2 for 4 with a double and HR will suffice.

Anyone see the Davis replay?
Not sure what he hit harder, the ball or Wally’s Olerud batting helmet.
The Dodgers got Casey Blake from the Indians
for a pitcher Jon Meloan and Class A catcher Carlos Santana

Options
Why would we DFA him? He’s used an option this year, and we still have 2 more option years on him.
turned out to be a fine inning anyway
arguably the first guy should have been out on a popup salty couldnt get.
then 3 quick outs.
woo.

Win tomorrow, then 4 with the Mariners this week...
It’s time to put together a little streak, isn’t it?
long past time
The best part is that we can make some deals at the deadline that need to be made and then go on with a big winning streak. People won’t be complaining that the winning will fool this team into thinking they can compete.
