Looks like the starting nine, minus Nelson Cruz.
Also, from the Wed. A.M thread, the scheduled pitchers are
Kevin Millwood, Derek Holland, Joe Torres, Willie Eyre, Frank Francisco, Doug Mathis
JD: Adamant about 78 wins in 2009. Go Rangers!
I am interested in the outings of
Der-Hol
Joe-To
Fran-Fran
and Do-Math
Doug Mathis is an asian kid?

Is it too much of a stretch to start calling him "Asian Kid"?

Sounds good to me
I like the nickname with the complicated explanation. I’ve already started refering to Josh Rupe as Kenny Fukcing Powers because of his theme music.

Can someone...
…sum up the Andruw Jones @ Spring Training saga so far? It seems to me that he’s not exactly doing himself any favors as far as making the team.
My 2009 New Years Resolution: Quit feeding the trolls.
Getting used to adjustments made to his swing. Has bat speed, according to Rudy. 9 Ks, 2 Hits, 1 BB.
His swing adjustments has something to do with sitting back in his stance and waiting on the ball.

That was like
a really, really funny string of replies
"Holland didn’t make that kid question his swing, he made him question his career path"

because he’s betting on himself to hit 50 HR’s? Otherwise, I don’t see the point

like him or hate him, left handedness seems pretty low on factors to influence your decision

Greatness
Keith Law: (1:45 PM ET ) I think Michael Young should shut his mouth and move to third base.
I think it would be great.
But unfortanately, a PR nightmare. I have no doubt he could still go 1.000 OPS and Hamilton would see so many good pitches. Also, it really doesn’t matter without the pitching. But, it would be fun to watch.
"I saw your act, just didn't make it for me. Just a lot of fluff."
We should embrace it
There was no penalty when our ’roiders were juicing.
Maybe Canseco would urge America to root for the Rangers as the only honest franchise in baseball.

Bryan Smith (12:17:17 PM PT): Justin Smoak and Josh Hamilton. The AL West might just have found their Bash Brothers, v. 2.0.
Yes...
but it’s just a ST lineup without our starting RFer so really it’s no big deal.

How?
Can you tell me how you access that since all i can find on the mlb site is the box score link whenever i look?
I don't know why they don't link to it on MLB.com - It's like going in the back door.
A couple of years ago, I was yearning for spring training play-by-play, and came across a GameDay link on the A’s blog.
I discovered that if you change the day of the game and team names (3 letter abbreviations), they do have a GameDay for spring traning games. Unfortunately, they only update it after every half inning, and the number of pitches is not accurate.
It’s better than trying to analyze a box score, in my opinion.

OT: bad contracts
Someone made this list : http://www.springtraining09.com/features/the-44-worst-contracts-in-base.php
Funny how many ex- and almost- Rangers are on that list. Sometimes it’s good to be out-bid. Only current Rangers are MY and Millwood (A. Jones shouldn’t be listed as a Ranger since we didn’t give him the contract and aren’t paying that salary). Looking at the starting pitcher market, I’m not sure Millwood deserves to be on the list.
by Jack Nicholson 1974 on Mar 4, 2009 1:55 PM CST reply actions
I saw that too
I agree about Millwood. Then it was a good deal. Now it’s an okay deal. But not a bad contract.
How bad would it suck to have Jones for $18 mil?

According to the KC announcers, Millwood seems to be pitching up (probably not by design) and got a popup.
He also got two groundballs.
Oh, and MY’s move to 3B was to revive his production at the plate, so say Royals announcers.

The season is a marathon not a sprint.

actually
the reason why not to is to see as many pitchers as possible
"To be ignorant of one’s ignorance is the malady of the ignorant."
well you are also trying to stretch your starters out
its all a balancing act. i’m not saying it would have been wrong to let holland pitch another inning but there are reasons for and against and hardly an objective right answer
"To be ignorant of one’s ignorance is the malady of the ignorant."
Because hes a starter whos going to be on the Opening day roster
Holland is not. The purpose of spring training for Holland is to get accustomed to facing ML hitters and get a feel for how things go as a major leaguer. Not be ready to pitch on April 6th against the Cleveland Indians
Bryan Smith (12:17:17 PM PT): Justin Smoak and Josh Hamilton. The AL West might just have found their Bash Brothers, v. 2.0.
There's a month left, remember?
Plenty of time for Millwood to get ready. You made it seem like an extra inning was going to make Holland’s arm fall off. I don’t know why you felt the need to sarcastically exaggerate the situation and say that I think he should pitch 100 pitched on March 4th. I would have liked to see him go 3 innings, you wouldn’t. Let’s leave it at that.
OK
I just don’t understand why you can’t understand why Kevin Millwood is being stretched out and not Derek Holland
Bryan Smith (12:17:17 PM PT): Justin Smoak and Josh Hamilton. The AL West might just have found their Bash Brothers, v. 2.0.
I just don't understand the huge difference
They’re both starting pitchers. I don’t see why they need to be stretched out differently.
because one guy
has pitched over 200 innings several times in his career and the other maybe hasnt pitched over 160
go here to view my blog: http://dirtfromd.blogspot.com
Cause 10 more pitches probably only gets him through 1/3 or maybe 2/3 of an inning.
And teams don’t like to substitute mid inning this early in spring training. Its a very tight schedule. The difference in 35 pitches and 50+ pitches on March 4th is significant

Im sure some of our resident pitching experts can weigh in

Bryan Smith (12:17:17 PM PT): Justin Smoak and Josh Hamilton. The AL West might just have found their Bash Brothers, v. 2.0.
Well, it's gotta be significant...
It’s almost 50% more pitches.
Importance
Its much more important to get Kevin Millwood stretched out and ready for opening day than Derek Holland. For Derek Holland to make the Opening Day roster would mean we have about a half dozen or more injuries this month. Add in the fact that there are people scheduled to pitch later in the game who stand a much better chance at making the Opening day roster and Holland is at the bottom of the totem pole.

If you're worried about getting all of these pitchers stretched out
Then why did Mathis pitch 2 innings? The Rangers have 2 innings left to use Eyre, Torres and Francisco.
Thats a very fair question
One that only Washington can answer.
But I don’t think Eyre is pitching in games yet. I thought he was injured or hurting but I could be wrong.

Yeah I was going to add that
These spring games are setup by the managers to get so many pitchers so many innings. If you give Holland an extra inning that means someone else, someone who may actually play a role on the team in April, doesn’t get a chance to pitch.

Metcalfail
Leads to a run scoring. Eyre gets out of the inning giving up 1 unearned run on the fail after a hit and a walk.
Where are we at in terms of the game itself?
Just jumped in here…
"Either we need to re-calibrate our rectangle, or Alfonzo Marquez is not having a good night." - Josh Lewin
Score is 5 to 3 in the bottom of the 8th
Rangers are batting. Score was 2-2 until Smoak hit a 3-run dinger.
Awesome.
Thanks for the update guys.

WBC starts tomorrow at 3:30 AM
Japan vs. China. Yu Darvish is apparently starting
I am intrigued
Well, I managed to miss the game (again)
But based on the box score, let me just offer a couple thoughts:
Justin Smoak is a beast.
So is Jarrod Saltalamacchia.
Millwood is at least off to a good start this spring.

OT - Just got a text from a buddy who works for the TCU ath. dept
He said Sheets is at the TCU baseball game and his arm is in a sleeve (not sure if he meant cast or something like that). Quick, Ft Worth LSBers need to go beg him to sign w/ the Gers!
