Really?
I said that when the inning started.
Why do you pull Loe after 3 pitches?
It doesn’t make sense.
by Adam J. Morris on Sep 1, 2008 9:14 PM CDT up reply actions
well, you're saving yourself there
it could have went either way when he came back into the game….there’s been several instances where it went one way or the other. Luis should have been able to get these guys out…he hasn’t
"Popularity is fleeting. Principles are forever."
that's BS
Wash pulled Loe for Mendoza after only 3 pitches. They are both groundball pitchers who are right handed. Loe has been dominant in relief and was absolutely beasty in that last AB. There is absolutely no reason to pull him for anyone.
By 2028, Mark Teixeira will be in the HOF.
-The Outlaw
so?
because of a few ABs we disregard everything else he’s done. Nice.
"Popularity is fleeting. Principles are forever."
Everything else Luis has done?
He hasn’t exactly sparkled this season.

If you wanted Mendoza in the game...
…put him in in the 7th.
I have a problem pulling someone who has been effective after 3 pitches. If you didn’t trust him to pitch the 7th, you shouldn’t have put him in with 2 outs in the 6th.

Because Luis got to throw more than three pitches
In fact, he had a chance to get three outs. Loe didn’t get the same chance so the comparison doesn’t make sense.

Now...
…you are just arguing for the sake of arguing.
I’ve defended Wash’s use of the bullpen some in the past, but this doesn’t make sense, and his bullpen management is a weakness.
Really, his in-game management as a whole is a weakness.
by Adam J. Morris on Sep 1, 2008 9:24 PM CDT up reply actions
Because your name is Ron Washington
And you are slightly retarded when it comes to bullpen management.

I am not too sure that “slightly retarded” is strong enough when talking about Warsh’s bull pen management. Pathetic.
¡yo soy Horsedooty!
I soloed in the Mile High Club!
I don't know
what Wash is thinking. Seriously, he must have some plan in mind for using pitchers but damn if I can figure out what it is. It’s like he has made his mind up for each remaining inning and refuses to consider how any specific pitcher is doing on a given night.
this game sucks

Yes we are
I read the first one not expecting to like it so much. But my best friend was enamoured, so I decided to give it a chance. I finished the first book in five hours. And have breezed through the second and third book too. I love it.

Well ...
.. I had a friend in love with the Harry Potter books so I tried reading the first one and I hated it. Haven’t seen any of the movies, either. So recommendations rarely work out for me. Of course, you have never recommended anything to me, so maybe I should trust you. Hmmm…
True...recommendations are tough.
I say check out the first one at a library or buy it cheap. Then if you hate it, you aren’t committed to the whole series. I don’t usually get into the whole fantasy thing. At all. But this series has enough realism and romance tied in that I love it. Although I don’t know why I keep reading romance…I guess I like believing it exists. Ha ha.

umm, okay what?
This LaRussa-ian habit of using relievers for only a batter or two at a time, I have a problem with. If you have an effective pitcher out there, don’t pull him after a batter or two. Every time you go to the pen, you increase the odds of bringing someone into the game who doesn’t have it that night.

i'm just wondering if you would have done the same thing in the 8th...
"Popularity is fleeting. Principles are forever."
The difference
Is that Loe got the third out of the 6th on three pitches.
Rupe gave up a sac fly and then hit a batter before he got an out.
The situations are not really the same.

wha?
i was saying that those ‘3 pitches’ where in a high leverage situation, thus he got really lucky getting out of that inning.
If you want to blame wash on anything, it should be not even using Loe in that situation…then, you gotta beef.
"Popularity is fleeting. Principles are forever."
I really don't feel like he was "lucky" to get out of that inning
I feel like he threw the pitches he needed to throw. It was a strikeout, not a hard hit ground ball or flyball out.

huh?
Loe as reliever
.266/.316/.431
Mendoza as reliever
.163/.163/.245
"Popularity is fleeting. Principles are forever."
How many innings of relief is that based on?
Mendoza has spent most of the season as a starter, and has maybe pitched 10 innings of relief all season, where as Kam has pitched 20.
Loe – 20 IP, 20 H, 11 R, 5 ER, 3 HR, 3 BB, 11 K, 2.29 ERA
Meanwhile, Mendoza’s overall line (again, most of it as a starter)
Mendoza – 54 IP, 78 H, 60 R, 47 ER, 7 HR, 20 BB, 29 K, 7.83 ERA
Regardless, I still believe it was the WRONG decision to pull Loe after a three-pitch strikeout with men in scoring position. He has proven lately that he can get out of tough situations and deserved to get another inning of relief work.

Well, the first 6 innings where actually pretty good
Matt Harrison was okay, and Taylor Teagarden had blasted his second career home run in the 5th. But then Ron Washington inexplicably took Kameron Loe (who had just been used to get out of a jam 6th with just 3 pitches) out in favor of Luis Mendoza at the start of the 7th, and well…

typical ranger game
the starter leaves with the lead even though he let in a lot of runs.
Washington shows his ability to handle a bullpen.
The Rangers think Mendoza is good despite him being average in the minors and boasting a 8+ era so they put him in and lets in a billion runs
The offense does good but just gives up after they are down by 6.
well at least Salty got hurt, hopefully the same happens with Mendoza

if the Rangers are to lose
why not to the mariners. it means they are less likely to take that stud pitcher in the draft. also, games like this mean it is less likely we have ron washington as a manager next year.
i consider those two very positive things to come out of tonight.
All managers are the same
the moment the majority of people realize this, the better we’re for for it.
All managers do stupid shit like this
from Soscia to Gardenhire to Torre. It’s just that some have better talent than others. Now eat a cock and die.
your an ignorant dumbass
do you even know the slightest thing about baseball or have you even played catch in your fucking life?
you just go around telling people to die. low life
I give up
agreed to an extent
but Wash has made too many questionable decisions to be let off the hook. but i agree that the chef can only do so much with shitty ingredients.
and the Rangers themselves get a better pick
at this point, if we can get a top 10 pick, I’d be pretty stoked.
as would i
truth be told, the only joy i have ever gotten from this franchise in the past two decades was from their farm system. they typically draft well, especially of late. it is really one of the few areas in which their management has shown anything resembling competence.
I mainly want a top 10
because that puts us ahead of the National’s 2nd pick.
That and this draft is filled with college players, with probably the top 7-8 prospects being college guys.
FRISCO WINS!
Midland is eliminated from the playoffs. Cahill and Anderson (and Cardenas and Doolittle) are done for the year.
i am pretty anxious
to see what Tracy does next season. this has become an extended hot streak for him in frisco.
more fantasy escapades
i must vent.
first game of the playoffs.
so i have holliday, bradley, manny, hamilton and thome for 3 OF spots and utility. Hamilton is struggling, so i bench him for the first time in a looong time. He goes 2/5 with a HR, the other 4 combined go 2 for 13 with nothing.
my only two pitchers are relievers who both blow saves with a 13.5 era.
meanwhile my oppoonent got 3 homeruns and 2 great starts.
looks like im not long for this serason.

i think he's a really good coach
he’s won a national championship and continues to recruit well, he just doesn’t have the QB he’s had in the past this year…and Foster is mr. fumblitis.

I'm not so sure
when you’ve consistently had pretty good skilled position players and decent O-lines, but can’t be creative enough to carry your QB, I don’t think you can say he’s a really good coach.
