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.

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.

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.

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?
by Horns130 on Mar 4, 2009 3:06 PM CST up reply actions 0 recs
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 0 recs
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.

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.

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

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.

I'm jealous.
You should take a bunch of pics and throw them up on Flicker or something.

Blalock walks, Gentry bunts.

Understood RangerMad
but that’s not Randy Johnson circa ’99 pitching for the Royals.
Boggs smartly comes back from 1-2 and gets a walk.
The Thinking Man’s Player strikes again. Smoak up.

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.

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.

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.

has anyone here been to a Rice baseball game at their home stadium and is it easy to get tickets to their games? My friends and I are thinking of going to Saturday’s game when they play Notre Dame…
Thanks.

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!
