That's
disturbing…and oddly mesmerizing all in one small picture. Great way to start out a game day thread.

Tuesday pitch counts:
The king of Peoria, Brandon MCarthy, is slated to throw five innings or 80 pitches today. McCarthy has allowed just one hit over his last two starts, both of which were in Peoria.
Derrick Turnbow is down for one inning or 25 pitches. C.J. Wilson gets an extended run at 1 to 2 innings or 35 pitches. That’s the same workload for Josh Rupe today. If there’s any room left, Jimmy Gobble could get some work.
- Anthony Andro
"It doesn't look like he's trying. It kinda pisses me off," "He could throw 110 if he tried. The way it explodes out of his hand is really something special." ~ B-Mac on Feliz.
The B-Mac attack is in full force
Blackgloverighty for rangers ace 2009.
5 innings, 3 hits, 1 walk, 3 Ks, 1 run.
the preceding post was a great success.
We doing game predictions?
Jones 0-3 1 K 2 weak pop ups. 0-2 vs Washburn
Elvis Andrus - 2009 AL Rookie of the Year
woooo BMac...
he’s bringing the “special sauce” today I have a feeling.
Josh Hamilton puts his pants on one leg at a time just like you.But once he gets his pants on he hits baseballs 420 feet.

I hope A. Jones
Blows a ACL running to first base today just to put an end to all of this. If Jones is on the Opening Day roster and is hitting clean up Wash and Rudy both should be fired on the spot.
Keith Law on Greg Golson, "He's similiar to Cameron and Hunter in that all three are black."
well, constructing the 25 man roster falls within the responsibilities of the GM
So if there is a head that should roll…
Doctor please. Some more of these.
AJ on the 25 man instead of Cat
is roughly a wash.
AJ playing every day and not producing would be on Washington. Not firing Washington would be on the GM.
"The idea that the Rangers are going to be a solid contender for a number of years is a fantasy." - Adam J. Morris
Not firing Washington now seems to be the
responsibility of Nolan Ryan.
"Dying ain't hard. It's living that's hard."
Nailed it perfectly with that one.
I thought it be all warm and shitty, but it just tasted like normal beer. It was still cold.
I think
JD was the only person not pushing for AJ if I remember correctly. There was something that said (yeah, I know) that Nolan, Levine, RW, and Rudy were the ones pushing for Jones to stay
And we all know
Johnny Donuts is just around to bring Nolan Coffee and Donuts.
"The idea that the Rangers are going to be a solid contender for a number of years is a fantasy." - Adam J. Morris
True True
Josey, if that’s the case, does that make you change any ideas regarding JD and Nolan? Not trying to start WWIII, just curious.
CS3
If you’re asking, yes retaining both Washington & JD is a King Kong fuck up. Does that answer your question?
"Dying ain't hard. It's living that's hard."
Not really,
Just wondering if it surprised you that Nolan was in favor of keeping AJ and shares baseball feelings with Washington, with JD on the other side
I don't have blind allegiance towards Nolan
but do respect him for ending the avalanche of incompetence that was so prevalent in the Ranger FO before he arrived.
If he favors keeping AJ, I think it’s a mistake but not on par with bringing back both JD & Washington.
"Dying ain't hard. It's living that's hard."
I have read how he has been playing
No I don’t have a crystal ball but just by judgeing what others have been saying I don’t want him hitting 4th. I could care less if he or Cat are the 25th man and a 4th or 5th OF. Quit being snarky. So I guess you would have him in the lineup every day?
Keith Law on Greg Golson, "He's similiar to Cameron and Hunter in that all three are black."
I can understand you not wanting him to bat 4th,
But that’s a way different position than saying that, based on what you’ve read about a players performance during ST, you would fire the head coach and hitting coach (potentially one of the best in the game) on the spot, when we don’t have an obvious clean-up hitter whatsoever, and they’ve been watching him in person (and are paid professionally to make these types of decisions).
There are a lot of other considerations, and although Rudy has missed, you can’t argue that Andrew Jones doesn’t have more talent than any of his past projects (Fulmer, etc.)
There is no reason for AJ
To bat 4th in this lineup. If Rudy and Wash think they can turn back the clock to 2005 or 06 well more power to them but from what I have seen and heard he has no business in the middle of the lineup.
Keith Law on Greg Golson, "He's similiar to Cameron and Hunter in that all three are black."
Jones is a product of Roids
and he is trying to come back to TX because of our reputation with the drug.
Another one bites the dust! And another one, and another one, and another one bites the dust!
From Jason Cole's spring training notes ...
Matt Thompson probably had the most impressive inning I saw in Surprise. He definitely didn’t look like a pitcher that had an astronomical ERA in the AZL last year. Thompson pitched to four hitters and struck out three of them. His curveball showed signs of being close to plus.
Lovely. Imagine if this big kid starts missing bats like crazy this summer.
I wonder
If Andrew hit two bombs today would we all feel more comfortable with him on the 25
Nobody punished like Earl and No one was nastier than Ryan
Today
Is one day out of 200 that matters to Ranger roster choices. Even with “right now” knee jerl events, this bunch won’t buy into pan flashes or believe lighting strikes regularly in the same place. Heh …

It will take more than one game
Keith Law on Greg Golson, "He's similiar to Cameron and Hunter in that all three are black."
exactly..
Whiffy Whifferson had a 3 home run game once.. and we all know how that went.
Josh Hamilton puts his pants on one leg at a time just like you.But once he gets his pants on he hits baseballs 420 feet.
yep
He also had a 4 K game once
Keith Law on Greg Golson, "He's similiar to Cameron and Hunter in that all three are black."
Im not saying keep AJ
All I was curious about is if people would not be so worried. I personally would cut him maybe keep Cat, just so Boggs could get regular at bats in AAA and not be sitting on the bench.
Nobody punished like Earl and No one was nastier than Ryan
Explanations about the lineup
For those who like it official: Andruw Jones is still here. He did not take his free agency on the off-day. Instead he is batting cleanup at designated hitter against left-hander Jarrod Washburn and the Mariners in Peoria. Nelson Cruz is fifth.
Just a lineup that Washington wants to look at today in Peoria.
Hank Blalock is starting at first base. Chris Davis will follow him. Washington wants to play both at first base with Jones at DH. Blalock goes first because of his veteran status.
this drives me crazy
Another one bites the dust! And another one, and another one, and another one bites the dust!

Ticket Question...
Anyone know if there’s any kind of exchange policy for individual game tickets before the date of the game? I’ve got tickets for the April 8 game, but not sure if I’ll be able to make it due to quarter close at work. Anyone know if I’d have any luck calling up and possibly getting these tickets exchanged for a different day?
Stars in a Texas Night Sky, a Dallas Stars blog from a fan's perspective.
It's worth a try
I’ve traded in some mini-plan tickets last year at the Dallas office, but not individual tickets.

he still has a career OPS
of over .800. I still think Shelton is a big leaguer. Just not on a team with a long lineage of prolific 1B like the Rangers.
Eh, it's 2% humidity.
Think he may not be able to grip the ball?

Ah there it is...
found my Rangers Brand Pitching™
When I see a solar eclipse I think "oh no, is the moon eating the sun"
I really hope we hear
he was working hard on a certain pitch or something, because this is simply not a line up that should be able to punish a legit major league pitcher.
Duh...
He’s working on his Slurve.

5 Homeruns would worry me. But 5 doubles may be due to the park size than his pitching.

With BMac, I could care less about an occasional rough patch..
I just want to see him take the ball every fifth day and look healthy for the whole year. The rest will take care of itself.
True, but like I said above
it is 2% humindy out there. How the heck could you put any spin/etc on a baseball?

Agree. He was abused last year,
but he still seems too wild, both in and out of the strike zone.

Nippert Wins… Rupe has used his lifeline and made his call to his friend…and still doesn’t have the right answer. May be time to pack it up.

not for a roster spot?
could of sworn Eric was just saying that…

i think there's a decent chance
both make it because the team would rather not risk losing either arm, and I really doubt Madrigal is as much of a lock as people keep saying. But if it comes down to one spot for both guys in a long reliever/swing man role, I think Nip’s got the edge.

Does anyone else
sort of wish they would sort out the sports coverage over at insidecorner by sport? I like all DFW sports teams, but when I am looking for Rangers coverage, I don’t need to sort through a bunch of Mavs and Starts posts to find it. Am I being too picky?
No to 1.
Yes to 2. It is an experiment, remember. Let’s just hope it is a successful one, because we always need more EG & MJH.

they shut the whole thing down. it just would be easier to read through if they sorted by sport and it seems like a really quick fix. believe me, I am VERY grateful that the site popped up in an attempt to save non-Cowboys sports coverage in the metroplex.

and it would help
if Arias’ BA wasn’t mitigated by his horrible tendency to get out on the basepaths though pickoffs, running through signs and diving in front of batted balls.

Anybody have recommendations for external hard drives?
I just want one for basic computer backup, so I really don’t need 500 GB.
How big do you need?
USB thumb drives are CHEAP these days. If you need 8 gigs, how about a USB drive on sale for $20 at Best Buy?
Yeah, I got an 8 gig SD card and a USB adapter for it for about $15 on Amazon last week.
Using those for my phone.
The hard drive thing is appealing, though. I’m rebuilding my “collection of stuff that needs to be backed up” from scratch now (because I never backed up before my HD crashed last week), and the idea of using Apple’s Time Machine with the constant backup updates is very attractive to me.
I just bought a 1 TB external drive
for $81 delivered.

I am very happy with the ones I bought from Western Digital
make sure you have the right connection type you want. USB, Firewire etc.. Makes sure you get 7400 RPM speed. Lower that that will casue lag problems between the 2.
If you are using USB connection only,it is not a huge noticeable difference between the RPM speeds becasue of the connection type transfer speed.
You could use Disk Image,
and put your entire HDD on a CD.
