Random statistical quirk
David Murphy’s defensive performance in the outfield this season, according to +/-:
-8 in LF (404.2 innings)
-9 in CF (85 innings)
+10 in RF (407.1 innings)
Weird.

It's possible, if not terribly likely
Let me put it this way: I’ve heard and read enough good things about Borbon that I likely wouldn’t have a problem if the Rangers went that direction.
by Joey Matschulat on Sep 22, 2008 7:16 PM CDT up reply actions 0 recs
I wouldn't either.
The sooner we move Hamilton out of center, the more balls will be caught.
by oc on Sep 22, 2008 7:19 PM CDT up reply actions 0 recs
I'm almost certain Hamilton was worse than that earlier in the year.
Which would lead me to believe that for the last several months he’s been above average.
I think he improved and I think he can be a solid centerfielder in the future. I would prefer him in the corner, though, or maybe DH. More for fatigue issues, really.
by philkid3 on Sep 23, 2008 12:26 AM CDT up reply actions 0 recs
I don't know that he has improved.
He made a horrible read on a ball hit in the Anaheim series. Went over his head. Those were the same types of mistakes he was making earlier in the year.
He plays a shallow centerfield.
by oc on Sep 23, 2008 1:31 AM CDT up reply actions 0 recs
I remember earlier in the season saying Hamilton wasn't fielding like an elite. . .
. . . would be met with pitchforks and torches. People would get PISSED if someone pointed out he wasn’t a very good fielder.

It's amazing how quickly things can change
with big talents like that. I’d probably feel about as comfortable with him starting game four as Jackson, especially if you’re talking about a left handed leaning lineup.

That's a boxscore to follow
thru 4 innings, 0 hits for both teams.

Slow game
And slow thread. Time for a lousy joke:
A woman has twins and gives them up for adoption. One of them goes to a family in Egypt and is named “Ahmal.” The other goes to a family in Spain; they name him “Juan.” Years later, Juan sends a picture of himself to his birth mother. Upon receiving the picture, she tells her husband that she wishes she also had a picture of Ahmal. Her husband responds, “They’re twins! If you’ve seen Juan, you’ve seen Ahmal.”

That’s greatness!! Ha ha. Ironically, of the three I took — Blalock, Laird and Millwood — I came home with Millwood. The first ticket they drew for the three posters was a girl. She chose Hank because he was “cute.” The next ticket was my brother’s, so he just took Millwood. The third ticket was a guy who probably had no clue who Laird was. Ah well…the whole event raised about $4,000 for this couple that lost their baby last week. The money will help with funeral and hospital bills.

Didn't even PH for Arias, and he had Max on the bench
Sorry, but this game calls for what I’m going to dub “the poster of truth”:

random info
botts is up to .229 in japan, woo.
the preceding post was a great success.

Maybe if Mendoza pitches to him
He can get up to .300.
((for what it’s worth, I was always a Botts fan…but this had to be said.))

OT (if anyone's still here)
Has anyone heard of the band Miser? They’re out of Dallas. I’ve never heard of them but apparently they hung out at my brother’s bar the other night. He said they were pretty cool.

I think I've heard of them.

Late word
Two things. Bill Hohn’s strike zone is consistent – - consistently outside. And Luis Mendoza is cursed. No one else capable of throwing a baseball could possibly carry around that little black cloud, everywhere.

umpires shouldnt be allowed to have their own K zone
theres a strikezone, call it.
especially horizontally, in which you cant be any more defined than the plate. its the same width for every player in baseball. at least vertically the people calling it larger are actually probably ging by the official zone and it varies player to player for more error.
but theres no excuse for the 6 inch outside strike to duran posted in gif form in tihs thread.
the preceding post was a great success.

Bill Hohn is very poor at calling balls and strikes
I used to be willing to chalk it up to a bad night or two, but it’s a pretty clear trend.
