no...
...this is what will happen…
a week from now… Mendoza will be lights out, and Nippert will implode.
a week after that… Mathis will come back strong, and Mendoza and Nippert will be… in Morris’ words… “not very good”...
then… a week later, Mathis will give up 10 runs, and Nippert will come in and pitch well.

Feliz now hitting 101 mph
8:10 PM Mon, Jul 07, 2008 | Permalink | Yahoo! Buzz
Mike Hindman E-mail News tips
Twice, actually. The stadium gun showed a 100 and a 101, but scouts downstairs had him at 101 twice.
SS Elvis Andrus drove in a pair of runs with a single that delivered 1B Thomas Berkery from third and CF Julio Borbon, who nearly passed Berkery.
Through four shutout innings, Feliz has surrendered three hits (one of which could have easily been an error on 3B Adam Fox). He’s fanned four and not issued a walk. He’s thrown 54 pitches so far, but I don’t have time to count balls and strikes right now.
His stuff isn’t as good as Edinson Volquez’s was when he arrived in Frisco - fastball not as lively and the change is not nearly as good - but he’s not as erratic either. He also does a better job of keeping the ball down than Edinson did at this stage.
Go comment over there, maybe we will get more updates.

101, goodness, gracious, great balls of fire
That is amazing. I knew he could hit in the upper 90s with relative ease, but that is some crazy heat. Volquez never had that type of velocity and doesn’t look to have anywhere near the control Feliz has.

Okay
What do you do if Davis keeps struggling the next two weeks, and Hank Blalock is ready to come back?
Keep Davis as the starting first baseman
and let him take his lumps. If the Rangers are 11.5 out after this series, why not let Davis ride it out…
send him to AAA for a couple weeks
but only if you are certain that you can trade Blalock

I'd let him stay up and adjust

I LOVED IT
Watched it on tivo a few times. It was an obviously bad call. Not like his team needed him.
“Shut up you little fuck” was what got him tossed.
when the camera went to Sciosa in the dugout and we knew the ump told him to knock it off
I was just waiting for him to get the last word… then to watch him shoot off his mouth and then Lewin with “And Sciosa is gone”...
Classic.

3rd time through the order
This is generally where your secondary stuff is really needed especially if you haven’t used it much the first two times through. Thats why I, and alot of other people, predicted 5 innings because thats when you get to the third time through the order

Feliz just gave up a 2-run single
Looks like they’ve gotten locked in on his fastball a little bit. It’s 4-3 Frisco.

So, I'm not really watching the game anymore.
Just glancing at the score. Is Nippert doing that well, or are the Angels just nowhere near as good as Mendoza made them look?
Don’t answer that.
Mendoza made them look like shit...
Nippert is making them look spectacular.
Now reverse that.

nippert has good stuff
theres no reason he shouldnt be able to have a few good innings v a righty heavy pretty poor lineup. mendoza just sucked.
2 games over 500 please.
i think...
i am really going to like having him and andrus in the same lineup!! We could lead the league in steals!!!
cant wait for him to be in CF with Josh in right everyday
I also think he could lead off for us and Kinsler could bat third with Josh batting fourth

"I really think JD is probably going to be one of the best things ever to happen to the Rangers." - Longhorn, May 27th, 2007
Dude totally needs to steal a base here.
It’s worth the risk. In a game like this, one run can be the difference.
WOW
that was SMART by Ian
"I really think JD is probably going to be one of the best things ever to happen to the Rangers." - Longhorn, May 27th, 2007
how?
he was gonna be out at 2nd no matter what and he didn’t block Kotchman. I think he thought it was a line drive for a second
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.
well kotchman did double clutch when he did it
im not sure it had anything to do with kins though
2 games over 500 please.
huh?
I’m praising Kins here.
"I really think JD is probably going to be one of the best things ever to happen to the Rangers." - Longhorn, May 27th, 2007
I know
Im just wondering how what he did was smart? He didn’t block the fielder or anything he just kinda stood there. He actually almost allowed Kotchman to just tag him which would have made the double play easier to try and turn
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.
I have the same question actually
Is it just fooling the fielders a bit?

-The Outlaw
holding up enough to make the fielder stop for a split second
to decide whether to tag or throw to 2nd…
Grieve: The Yanks have struggled so far. - Lewin: Yeah, cry me a bag of money.
ElectricOkra.com
he hesitated
so that kotch doesn’t automatically just throw it to 2nd, he double clutched instead and that move alone made it so that the DP wouldn’t be made…thus allowing Murph to hit that homerun.
"I really think JD is probably going to be one of the best things ever to happen to the Rangers." - Longhorn, May 27th, 2007
Hamilton
Hamilton was beating that out no matter how many times Kotchman did or didn’t clutch. A 3-6-1 DP is really hard to turn and Hamilton beat it by about 5 steps. I get what he was trying to do but I ust don’t consider it a smart play.
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.
Okay
Ian just make up for any bad decision he’s ever made or any kind of lack of concentration with that little move there.

what an abomination of an AB

F'n A...
Hamilton you just needed a double!

that AB was even
more horribler

that was just stupid...
...Santana was throwing first pitch strikes early in the game… now, he’s relying more on his off-speed stuff…

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.
yeah well
thats all dropped dramatically over the past month and a half so I guess a hundred years worth of logic can only be wrong for so long

NIXON: NOW MORE THAN EVER
Since the Atlanta series

Today though was...
his first extra base hit since the Atlanta series

the problem is that they still probably score a run or 2
could have used a run there..

hey we're still in this just need our bullpen to keep it up
The funny thing about my back is that its located on my cock.
Kinsler
loves the bunt….his success rate is amazing. How do we do that? How do we suck like that. Fuckkkkkkkkkkk
has anyone else
noticed the ridiculous amount of first pitches hamilton swings at? Also, it seems like he is topping everything.
He seriously is our own Vlad
Great hitter, but needs more plate discipline badly.

Going away seemed to work before…. guess it’s time to try that again. Seeyah!

That looked jet-stream assisted
This has to be Nippert’s last inning.
"My keyboard is a Yankees fan" - Whipsmart
pitch count?
He may be able to go one more although with it being a close game we may want to use other guys
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.
he has been starting after all
but i do think this will be his last. not like he was prepared to go 7 today.
2 games over 500 please.
He's at 81 right now

My question
Does he have to register with TBIA before getting that close to those kids?
by Adam J. Morris on Jul 7, 2008 9:10 PM CDT up reply actions
So
5 2/3 3h 1er 4ks….. Nippert needs to be starting.
"Mr. Hicks, you watch, I'm going to be a leader on this team." Kinsler
well you cant put that much stock into one start
but id rather he or harrison go over mendoza.

Rivera
I imagine you probably said that about Rivera in NY a few games back but we did. The Rangers have been suprisingly effective against closers in recent years. But I agree KRod is pretty untouchable
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.
Man, you really can't say enough about Nippert tonight.
He’s been legit.

Whats the record
For most runs allowed in a season?
Because we have to be pulling a Micheal Phelps on that badboy full steam ahead.
Well...
just spent the last time since the Hunter homer making a new pic for just such an instance

Funny you say that...
