Great Game!!
In yo face….A’s!!
Mr. Harrison……your room is ready in the 2009 Rotation Hotel….right this way!!
(brought over from the GDT)
i like baseball too
Just a great game...
seeing his velocity and the way he pitched is very encouraging.

Well, the Oakland staduim gun is inflated
He wasn’t pitching at 94 the whole game. But that was an exquisite start.
We need to hire Chuck Norris to kick the ass of any Ranger fan caught booing one of our young pitchers at the RBiA.
Gameday still shows
93 and 92. That’s still awesome even though it isn’t 94.
By 2028, Mark Teixeira will be in the HOF.

Gameday radar gun
I was reading Keith Law (I think it was him) and he was saying the pitch fx (is that what it is called?) guns are usually off by a few mph. I couldn’t believe that, since you would imagine that someone qualified would be running the gun. Regardless, Harrison was awesome.
Found it
Ryan (Boston): Last night the NESN/Fenway gun had Lester hitting 97 in the first inning. I’ve always assumed that this reading was ticked up about 2 or 3 MPH. From what you know, is the Fenway gun accurate?
SportsNation Keith Law: It’s the pitch F/X gun, and it is usually 1-3 mph ahead of the scouts’ guns in the stands. If it said 97 on Lester repeatedly (as opposed to one fluke reading), he was probably hitting 95-96. I saw him hit 95 in AA in ’05.
that's strange
since the gun on TV usually inflates pitches by a mph or 2 where the Gameday one shows them a bit slower.
By 2028, Mark Teixeira will be in the HOF.

AA – No hitter
MLB – Complete game shutout
It might have been a no-hitter if TT was catching….
Love me some matt harrison.
While he blows up every few starts, it seems like hes had the most legitimately good starts of anyone in the past couple months as well.
Again, really want him in 2009’s rotation unless he flat out loses it in ST.
And one more time.. in really tiny fashion since i already used it 3 times =p
the preceding post is not nearly as negative or insulting as you think it is
Are you kidding?
We’ll never get enough of that GIF. Ever.

Ahahahahhahaha!!!!
That’s the best thing that has ever been posted on this site. You win. Forever.
Aikman and Bradshaw?
Please. They are in the same league as Trent Dilfer and Jim McMahon as QBs who were taken to the SB by great Defenses and great Running Games.

Doesn't he have an extra day of rest between now and his next start?

or perhaps with renewed confidence of a CG shutout he dominates!

Has it ever been mentioned on this blog ...
that Chris Davis is a beast of Godzilla-like proportions? Cause, he kinda is.
well he is the co-owner of the beasticon mantle
that surely assumes some monster level proportions.

dangit, i missed my first entire game of the year
and its when one of our rookie pitchers throws a complete game shutout….
i see that TT got ANOTHER homer. any things that are worth knowing that arent in the box score?

I would have never thought this a month ago
but Matt Harrison has a legitimate shot to win 10 games this year for the Rangers. As of now, I would definitely rank him as a near lock for at least the #5 spot next year, and maybe even the 4.
In reference to how good the Steelers have been in their history: "No one is even close to them."- Steal Home
wins don't mean much
but it is definitely strange to see. The Rangers have put up the runs for him in a few games where he didn’t really deserve a win and they managed to not blow enough of his games (like they are so good at doing).
By 2028, Mark Teixeira will be in the HOF.

I never thought I would pump my fist and scream "Yes"
at the end of ballgame during September.
It happened. Congrats, Matt. That was awesome.
oh my freaking hesus
just came up to work for a few min…some of these parts look like a freaking warzone.
