Definitely dude.

I said the same thing. But I was still jumping up and down when he hit it out!

A Lonestar in California

We need to hire Chuck Norris to kick the ass of any Ranger fan caught booing one of our young pitchers at the RBiA.

How many games is that with wins in the ninth?

At least four right?

by Hull Fan on Aug 4, 2008 10:47 PM CDT reply reply 0 recs

6 walkoff wins

I think 5 of them have come in the 9th.

I can think of five walk-off wins right now.

Murph 2B against Minnesota in May.
Hambone against LAAAAAAA before the break.
Two last week.
Tonight.

Am I missing any?

Ah, Vasquez vs. Seattle in the 13-12 game.

That’s six.

Only the Murph 2B vs. Minnesota was in the 10th. I was at that one ;)

Was the homer by Hamilton in Seattle

during the first week a walkoff?

by Hull Fan on Aug 4, 2008 10:50 PM CDT up reply reply 0 recs

Nope.

Won it in the top of the 9th.

That is a function of two things

OT: Steve Phillips just called Jeff Bagwell a borderline Hall of Famer.

Maybe he’s right, and if he is, that’s absurd.

I know very few baseball people - going all the way up to Bill James himself - in the circles I follow who rank him any worse than fourth among first basemen.

by philkid3 on Aug 4, 2008 10:47 PM CDT reply reply 0 recs

Bagwell

the thing that people always forget is that he started his career in the Astrodome – where hits and homers went to die. If he’d played at Enron Field (sorry, Minute Maid) his whole career, he’d have had 600 homers and well over 3000 hits

by JBImaknee on Aug 4, 2008 10:49 PM CDT up reply reply 0 recs

His peak was incredible.

Not just as a hitter, but also a fielder and baserunner.

by philkid3 on Aug 4, 2008 10:50 PM CDT up reply reply 0 recs

Imagine if he played in Arlington

Look at Hamilton’s splits this year:

Home .363/.421.686
Away .260/.323/.446

Prediction

Rangers will be ahead of the Yanks in the WC by the end of this series and 3.5 behind BoSox.

Yes, we will sweep.
