ok hammy

bradley isnt in the game. we know who is hitting 5-6.

xbh time. or with a man on third the single would be ok, but man… 19 games (20?) without a HR is more than enough.

2 games over 500 please.

I’m looking at all-star game merch, and am debating between Kins and Hamilton. I couldn’t decide so I said their next ABs would decide for me, and well….they didn’t. Is a hit > a walk?

How is that an error?

I thought you can’t assume a double play, and no runners moved up any more than they otherwise would have

UMM

is a 99 OPS+ really that bad?

by blueballlefty on Jul 6, 2008 4:03 PM CDT up reply actions   0 recs

Its below average

And he’s getting paid 13 million dollars to be a supposed power hitter at the SS position. For all the complaining about Young, at least he is still above average and hasn’t seen his game decline that much throughout the years.

By 2028, Mark Teixeira will be in the HOF.
-The Outlaw

by Gdawg on Jul 6, 2008 4:05 PM CDT up reply actions   0 recs

He has 10 HR and 44 RBI in the first half

I am pretty sure thats not below avg. for a SS, but I do not have the energy to fight you and look up stats right now I am sick and trying to put up with this game

by blueballlefty on Jul 6, 2008 4:07 PM CDT up reply actions   0 recs

I can help you with that

RBIs are pointless and his HRs, if above average for a SS, means that every other part of his game is well below average

By 2028, Mark Teixeira will be in the HOF.
-The Outlaw

by Gdawg on Jul 6, 2008 4:08 PM CDT up reply actions   0 recs

so a triple crown stat is pointless?

sorry I dont agree there is something to being able to drive in runs, us of all teams should be able to appreciate that. and how is “every other part of his game below avg.”?

by blueballlefty on Jul 6, 2008 4:11 PM CDT up reply actions   0 recs

All 3 of the triple crown stats...

...are rather weak ways to evaluate a player.

not trying to argue but

if thats possible then you would think that it would happen more than once every 30 years or so

by blueballlefty on Jul 6, 2008 4:17 PM CDT up reply actions   0 recs

not really

You have your contact hitters, your power hitters, and your good hitters in good-great lineups. There are few that hit for contact well-enough and hit for enough power to lead the league in both those categories. There are even fewer that happen to be in a good enough lineup where they can lead the league in RBIs.

That would be very unlikely

However, I don’t think average/homers/RBIs are the best way to judge a player’s offensive contributions.

by Adam J. Morris on Jul 6, 2008 4:16 PM CDT up reply actions   0 recs

I dont

think they are the only way but I do think in most scenerios they are some very good indicators of what kind of production you can get from them

by blueballlefty on Jul 6, 2008 4:19 PM CDT up reply actions   0 recs

Tejada

He’s got a .259 EQA. That’s not real good, even for a shortstop.

He’s not a good defensive player.

His HRs and RBIs are irrelevant. He’s just not a real good player anymore.

by Adam J. Morris on Jul 6, 2008 4:22 PM CDT up reply actions   0 recs

Uncle

ok there it is y’all win he’s not that good anymore

by blueballlefty on Jul 6, 2008 4:27 PM CDT up reply actions   0 recs

There is more to baseball

than hitting a few HRs and being able to get lucky that you’re hits are with runners in scoring position.

Right now, Tejada’s OPS is 7th among 10 eligible NL SSs.

I know there is

just think that having Tejada playing SS or preferably 3rd base is a pretty good option thats all.

but right now, he is a below average option who is getting worse and worse.

I think

if you are looking at a player that is on a team with a very low OBP as a team then I think RBI’s are not so important but on an avg MLB team I think all three of those stats are can be very telling of what kind of production a player will give

by blueballlefty on Jul 6, 2008 4:23 PM CDT up reply actions   0 recs

.259 EQA

Nobody's perfect

Everyone gives up a run every now and then. Lets hope that’s the only one that CJ gives up over the next couple of months.

By 2028, Mark Teixeira will be in the HOF.

I said hope

I didn’t guarantee shit. This one’s on AJM. He didn’t criticize Murphy enough earlier in the game.

CJ Wilson

The new Francisco Cordero…turns everything into 1 run save opportunities with winning runs on base

CJ doesn't worry about stats.

It’s all about the end result.

by rcreative on Jul 6, 2008 4:26 PM CDT reply actions   0 recs

considering he kept his job when he got a decent save % and bad era

and lsot his job when he started blowing saves… i think you could tell it to him.

2 games over 500 please.

The end result was

CJ thanks the offense for getting so many runs, to allow greater room for error.

and might be a bit upset

at Rupe for not holding down the lead a bit better

Angels up 6-1 on Jays...

...top of 7 now. Ol’ Barajas with the Jays solo run.

That's...

That's what we wanted

Before this series started 4-2 now we need to win 3 out of 4 against the angels.

Thank you...

and I was there to endure it all. I don’t believe we had a clean 1-2-3 inning the entire game.

"why is it always this hard....." "Because we are the Rangers"

Ain’t that the damn hard truth, if they ever get pitching, look out Baseball, a win is a win i guess, now lets see if they can take 3 of 4 from the Angels, not likely but we can hope.

by TRFAN on Jul 6, 2008 4:38 PM CDT reply actions   0 recs

Hey atleast CJ didn't walk anyone...

as there is no excuse with a 3 run lead. A save is a save and he’s now 21 for 23 which is an awesome percentage.

Just think of it this way. If CJ can get that kind of percentage when he’s somewhat struggling, wait til he gets into a groove. Yes, he’s probably gotten a tad lucky so far with that ERA but he’s gotten it done regardless.

I'd say

his ERA is right about where it should be

Jason, aka

“The Wacko from Waco” has resumed calling the KRLD postgame show…and the entirety of Rangerdom loses a few IQ points.

Dammit, just die already!

Insomnia sucks

yes, he calls all kind of shows…and I have to hear him because I often don’t sleep and lay in bed listening to talk radio to put me to sleep.

Forgive me if this is too basic

Talk radio is phased through what is basically a hard drive…what you hear on the radio is often 07-30 secs behind the real conversation. It is quite possible he said something totally unfit for the airwaves.
