Lineup is virtually the same as last night
Arias 2B
Young SS
Hamilton CF
Byrd LF
Cruz RF
Blalock 1B
Laird C
Davis 3B
Tea DH
One of the things that’s been bugging me though, is why not use the DH spot to get Hamilton off the field for a game or two and get Boggs some playing time while Bradley is out? Laird has started the last three games in a row now.

Well
If the manager is juggling the rotation to accommodate a pitcher — particularly to accommodate a pitcher who has been less than reliable this year, at that pitcher’s request — isn’t it reasonable to ask why that’s being done?

Okay
I’m not sure what that has to do with him wanting to pitch on Sunday rather than Monday, or with the organization going along with it.
by Adam J. Morris on Sep 12, 2008 9:46 PM CDT up reply actions
Warsh's stance
is probably another veteran over a rookie kinda situation….just like his reasoning for hitting Byrd/Laird/Cruz/Murphy higher than Davis. And in Padilla’s case I support Wash’s decision MUCH more than his Davis shenanigans
What's the rumpus?
My guess
Wash seems to be implying that, if Padilla doesn’t get to pitch on the day he wants to pitch, his neck my start hurting again.
by Adam J. Morris on Sep 12, 2008 9:50 PM CDT up reply actions
ya think?
So you’re thinking Warsh subscribes to EG’s theory of wussing out against tougher competition? Or just that the way the injuries have gone thus far a recurrence could happen at any moment?
What's the rumpus?
Just guessing...
But I wouldn’t be surprised if Wash thought Padilla is something of an unreliable headcase, and that if they don’t let him pitch when he wants to pitch, they don’t know if he will pitch, or how well he’ll pitch, when they want him to.

But great defense with high potential offense? Sounds good to me.

Yeah
I’m just saying that BABIP makes me wonder just how much of his performance so far is for real. I can’t help but think about Houston’s JR Towles when it comes to Teagarden’s performance so far.

That was a case of the Astro’s jumping in the front of the line for his services. They charged hard for Wolf last winter and didn’t get him. So they trade for him this year so they can be the first to negotiate a deal.

Not.

Hmm
…something suddenly popped into my mind.
Didn’t the Rangers sign some Japanese guy at the start of the year?
Kazuo Fukumori
And the biggest thing he did was appear in an LSB anti-Mark Connor graphic.
We need to hire Chuck Norris to kick the ass of any Ranger fan caught booing one of our young pitchers at the RBiA.
Took me long enough
But I finally found it. Kaz Fumumori’s biggest contribution to the Rangers so far:
We need to hire Chuck Norris to kick the ass of any Ranger fan caught booing one of our young pitchers at the RBiA.
*Fukumori
Geez, what’s with all these typos all of a sudden LSJ?

He hasn’t even done that well in AAA.

He doesn’t discriminate. He’ll hit triples, doubles, singles, home runs, take walks, steal bases. He’ll do everything offensively.

Davis
En Fuego indeed.

if you want to keep bringing up that people shouldnt be concerned about davis hitting lefties how about mentioning people (ron washington) shouldnt be concerned about him hitting higher in the lineup and get him the hell out of the bottom of the order.
"I'm against picketing, but I don't know how to show it." - Mitch Hedberg
well the fact that hes a lefty was one of the excuses for not changing the lineup spot.
hopefully there is a trickle down effect.

ill be very disappointed if harrison isnt in 2009s opening day rotation
barring the unlikely acquisition of a good FA pitcher.

I'd be fine with getting rid of Millwood or Padilla
Maybe even both to make room for Hurley, Harrison and Nippert.
We need to hire Chuck Norris to kick the ass of any Ranger fan caught booing one of our young pitchers at the RBiA.
I wouldn't mind keeping Padilla around
A bunch of midgets with no arms could pitch better than us. -iorange555
Depends upon what we get in return I suppose
If we deal him, it probably won’t be “making room” so much as it’ll be flipping him for a younger starter.
We need to hire Chuck Norris to kick the ass of any Ranger fan caught booing one of our young pitchers at the RBiA.
+1
I can’t understand why the Rangers would be looking at dealing Hurley.
By 2028, Mark Teixeira will be in the HOF.
-The Outlaw
I can't either
Rangers need pitching so what would Hurley bring in return? I doubt a better pitcher than he is.
A bunch of midgets with no arms could pitch better than us. -iorange555
And you think Hurley will
bring a top of the rotation pitcher?
A bunch of midgets with no arms could pitch better than us. -iorange555
Yes.
Despite his injuries, he pitched fairly well this year. He’s controllable and likely to fit immediately into a rotation. Solid off-spead stuff.
I like Hurley a lot but
I just don’t think he will get you a top of the rotation guy. IMO
A bunch of midgets with no arms could pitch better than us. -iorange555
and you think its actually above a 50% chance that that will take place?
and that it will almost certainly be hurley?
i think they would ask for feliz as the base of a deal for an ace, not hurley. which is why i dont think it would happen.
more likely something uses Davis as the base for an offensively starved team, but i wouldnt hold my breath on any such deal.
the preceding post is not nearly as negative or insulting as you think it is
well that + would have to be significant, but maybe
in any case, its a possibility but its certainly not the most likely outcome.
the preceding post is not nearly as negative or insulting as you think it is
I'd rather have Nolasco than Greinke
Greinke doesn’t have enough service time to give up a big package for IMO.
We need to hire Chuck Norris to kick the ass of any Ranger fan caught booing one of our young pitchers at the RBiA.
Only way he gets dealt is if he's part of a package
For someone like Ricky Nolasco. Even then, I bet the Rangers would rather give up Matt Harrison in that deal than Hurley.

im not sure i'd prefer to give up harrison
the preceding post is not nearly as negative or insulting as you think it is
im not sure i'd give up either one
i really think they need to see what hurleys got, he didnt get enough starts in the bigs due to injures.
only concern i might have with him is the hr rate
"I'm against picketing, but I don't know how to show it." - Mitch Hedberg
Look...
A starting pitcher will be added this offseason.

Millwood
Padilla
Feldman
McCarthy
Hurley

Given Hicks’ comment I really don’t see the Rangers signing a free-agent arm… which is why I think a trade is more likely… and thus… someone will get squeezed.
didnt say it wont happen
just said i wouldnt.
"I'm against picketing, but I don't know how to show it." - Mitch Hedberg
im sure the rangers have wanted to trade for an ace the last decade
easier said than done.
the preceding post is not nearly as negative or insulting as you think it is
i didn't say an ace yo.
i said a top-of-the-rotation starter.
Greinke really isn’t an ace. Nolasco isn’t really an ace.
But, they’re both more established pitchers with better stuff.
On your playstation Rangers maybe
We need to hire Chuck Norris to kick the ass of any Ranger fan caught booing one of our young pitchers at the RBiA.
the main reason millwood SHOULD be useful
is because we legitimately need someone to eat innings and save the bullpen, great or not.
but its obviously millwood isnt that guy anymore.
