Seriously

We didn’t make any deals, and we’re facing RA Dickey at HOME. If we lose this game, I might rethink my allegiances.

oh man

this seems like a tossup. a bad pitcher vs a pitcher not really ready for the big leagues

rangers win 3-2

not really great pitching or stellar defense. just bad hitting.

that means it's 1-0 heading into the bottom of the 8th

CJ is warming up, then we score seven, but they send CJ out anyway because he’s warmed up and he gives up 5 and loads the bases before a popup, and two strikeouts end the game.

I'm tired of bradley being bangedup.

Dont get me wrong i appreciate his great season but i would not resign him. I would take the draft picks and let max take the dh spot.

by johnny1up on Jul 31, 2008 6:14 PM CDT reply actions   0 recs

agreed

and remember…..this is the healthiest Bradley’s ever been. In no way do I see him as a dependable part of our future. Say no to Bradley ‘09

It's easy to lie with stats, it's even easier to lie without them......

by red shoe ranger on Jul 31, 2008 6:30 PM CDT up reply actions   0 recs

He's on pace for about 460 AB's

You wouldn’t pay him to hit like this for 400 or so AB’s? I mean the alternative is likely more Byrd…

There's room for both on the team no doubt

I doubt max can put up a .320/.444/.592/1.036 line in 300 or so AB’s next year…

well look how many times gameboard is out

there will be plenty of opps to rest Hamilton as the DH (like tonight) or whomever. That would mean Byrd in the OF.

I'd rather see Nelson Cruz

After what he’s done in the PCL… It couldn’t hurt. Byrd certainly isn’t a part of this team’s future.
How about a lineup next year of:
Kinsler
MY
Max
Hamilton
Cruz
Davis
Murphy
Laird/Salty/Teagarden
Vazquez

by hiafex on Jul 31, 2008 6:54 PM CDT up reply actions   0 recs

Wow

A rookie hitting #3, a career ML flop hitting 5 surrounding Hamilton. He will be lucky to get any pitches to hit at all

Was just trying to make it R,L,R,L

If Cruz and Max are able to produce like their minor league numbers suggest, there should be no problem with that batting order.

Cruz

When has he ever produced like his minor league numbers suggest. This isn’t the first time he has crushed minor league pitching ya know

his 2008 #s

is largely consistent with his 2007 OKC production, save for a rise in BB%

by FirebatM3 on Jul 31, 2008 7:05 PM CDT up reply actions   0 recs

He deserves one more chance at the MLB as soon as possible

We’re not trading him, so… it couldn’t hurt. Give him one more try-out. I don’t see what it is so wrong with that.

by hiafex on Jul 31, 2008 7:08 PM CDT up reply actions   0 recs

I don't disagree with that

But to pencil him in 5th and expect him to produce is a pipe dream I think. I am just basing that off his previous ML stints

I'm just saying it's a possiblity

I’d rather not re-sign Milton since he’s more likely to be a Type A free agent this year than next year.

by hiafex on Jul 31, 2008 7:10 PM CDT up reply actions   0 recs

Cruz

However bad you may think he is, he is the best RH power bat in the system. And that ‘marginal’ increase on walks is significant, indicating much better plate patience. AAA pitching isn’t exactly dogmeat.

Thank you!

As his problem in the bigs was not being able to lay of off speed outside of the zone I am psyched about his increased BB%.

by rcreative on Jul 31, 2008 7:59 PM CDT up reply actions   0 recs

No

Like red shoe said, this is the healthiest he has ever been and still won’t sniff 500 ABs and he’s now on the wrong side of 30. Re-signing him would be foolish IMO.

JD was doing an interview on Rangers Live just now

said that Eddie is apparently big on the clubhouse pranks. So, Wash pulled him aside at 2:58 this afternoon and told him he’d been traded to Washington.

JD said the reaction included some words that couldn’t be repeated on TV.

Dodgers traded Laroche and Morris for 2 months of Manny and they are going to get 2 draft picks if they offer Manny arbitration and he rejects it?

This will be a good test of this team's patience.

Dickey’s got 4.2 BB/9, so they need to make him throw strikes.

His stance looks different to me since the ASB.

It seems to me like he doesn’t seem to have the same rhythm before pitches and it looks like he’s dropping his back elbow early. I haven’t look at footage before the ASB to say for sure though.

Yeah, I was blown away too. Just need to see it in IMAX

Right now, while I’m watching the game, I’m e-mailing movie theatres to see if they will donate or sell their Dark Knight posters/banners to me.

Why so serious?

I saw it in IMAX

Hoping I’ll love it the same on the normal screen

harrison

cannot control that fastball to save his life

has a nice changeup and decent slider. could be pretty darn good with that 91mph fastball.

Gonna be interesting to see how Hunter does tomorrow

He’s another guy whose control has become a calling card in the minors this year.

Do not boo Matt Harrison, fans.

Stop it. I’m sorry, I’m all for criticizing players who deserve criticism, but you don’t boo a 22-year-old kid.

meh, i hope they dont send him down

that was not his normal control, and he was hurt seriously by poor defense.

by DSheppard on Jul 31, 2008 8:04 PM CDT reply actions   0 recs

if you keep him up he might establish a few good starts

you think sending him down with a 8.0 ERA is a confidence builder?
id say send him down if I thought he would suck his next 5 starts. im not ready to say that.
