bmac vs feierabend
the lineup
J. Arias 2b.286
M. Young ss .286
J. Hamilton cf .295
M. Bradley dh .324
H. Blalock 1b .263
M. Byrd lf 294
N. Cruz rf .250
G. Laird c .278
C. Davis 3b .278
is it stupid to assume that next season davis will bat 5th or 6th?

well if wash chooses a rookie every year that needs to bat 8th/9th, im glad hes getting it out of the way now
Good thing Davis was brought up when he was.

Not that I'm a Botts defender
but whenever they used to call him up they would immediately bat him clean up, which I always thought was a bit stupid. Now with Davis we go the complete opposite, he’s proven he can hit a little bit, but we leave him hitting 9th.
Further evidence that our manager is sort of clueless.

I honestly don't see the logic behind
5-9 in the lineup.
It should be like this, IMO
Byrd (I know, but he has been hot)
Davis
Blalock
Laird
Cruz

Chris Davis or Nelson Cruz should be leading off?

although perhaps its too late to tell (not enough posts in the thread), those whose computer slows down in these threads might want to try googles browser they released today. the way they explained it it should at least make it so that other tabs arn’t slowed down.

Slow threads
Other SBN sites that I’ve seen only let the comments get to around 250 or so. LSB goes to around 500 which doesn’t really help. I don’t blame AJM though, I wouldn’t want to make a new thread every 250 comments.

they are fine into the 600s for me.

MY has no trade value
Because of his piss-poor defense and silly contract. He can’t hang at SS anymore, and 3B is also a terrible choice. 2B is the only possibility for better infield improvement.
by chief on Sep 2, 2008 8:03 PM CDT up reply actions 0 recs
Not really
You just go from a SS with no range to a 2B with no range. How is that any better than an inexperienced 3B?

He has excellent command of three pitches tonight. He is locating his fastball very well and getting ahead in the count. His fastball is still sitting around 89-91, but his curveball has been very consistent. He has also mixed his pitches very well.
This looks like the McCarthy we were expecting two years ago. When his command is strong like it is tonight, McCarthy looks like a #2 or #3 starter.

eyewitnesses, how did he look tonight? it looks like his fastball barely hit 90…so was this just an average pitcher against a poor offensive team, or does his offspeed stuff allow him to be effective without a better fastball?

McCarthy
Don’t worry about his fastball. The guy is 6’7". If his mechanics are in order and he is taking his full step he is releasing the pitch closer to the plate than normal pitchers. To the batter with his release point being higher than normal, due to his height, and the ball being thrown from a shorter distance, due to his height, that 89 mph fastball is probably equal to a 92/93 mph fastball from a normal sized pitcher.

Good point. I should have known that.

Well, Ron thinks Jamey Wright is a setup man too
So really it’s not all that suprising…

Question
I don’t post on here quite as often as some of you and am probably not as knowledgeable about the Rangers as some..But after last night, and that debacle bringing in Mendoza, I seriously feel that Nolan is planning on canning the Wash. He is a great guy, but like many of you have mentioned, his game management looks very juvenile.
Plus, as much as the players may love him, his act of bringing in guys that don’t inspire confidence has to wear thin at some point. I mean Avery Johnson was perceived as a great coach before he went Napolean on everybody and now no one likes him in Dallas.
Thoughts?

It wouldn't surprise me
I think JD believes in him, but I wouldn’t be shocked at all if Nolan forces his hand. I sure wouldn’t miss him

I hope you're right
But I’m not sure the Rangers want to can Wash. Based on some midseason comments, it seems to me Nolan actually seems to like him, because he’s “old school” like himself. Which means we’re likely in for another year of stupidity in 2009.

I am studying to be a journalist for TCU
and the thing I do like about Wash is his willingness to always talk to the media…Our baseball coach at TCU is far from friendly and when I got to interview Hamilton, Davis, etc., Wash came up to me, being a new face, and said hello. He was cool. But I don’t think he’s a great manager unfortunately.

I think Ron is a great coach
Who is simply out of place as a manager. If he was our third base coach, I would probably love the guy, but he just doesn’t have the mind of a baseball manager.

I think Wash gets to start the season.
The club has already exercised his option for 2009 and if the fire him I think they would have to pay three managers….the new guy, Wash and Buck for 2009.

You really think, in the middle of a massive rebuild,
in a shitty season like this, as a 1st time manager…that he is calling all the shots?
Are you daft man?
