Oh, yeah, there's a game today...not that anyone is that interested at this point...
Hopefully, Holland doesn't make his debut tonight.
Go Rangers...

Screw it...
Millwood has had a couple good outings so far this year. I hope he gets shelled.
If Holland is going to be here I want to see him pitch tonight.

by lonestarJon on Apr 18, 2009 6:42 PM CDT up reply actions 0 recs
you know its not really that cruz is batting 6th
its that he said he would be 4th all offseason.. then he mashed in ST, then he mashed to start the year.. meanwhile blalock has sucked and is above cruz even against lefties. and cruz is moved down? it just.. doesn’t make sense.
the preceding post was a great success.

Concur...
If he was told he was going to hit cleanup what has he done to lose that spot or what has Hank done so far to put himself in that spot?
It makes little sense to me as well.

Ron Washington's whole stint with this team has been full of crap like that.
He’s supposed to be a defense-first guy, the team has terrible defense (though it should improve this year just because of the upgrades at SS and RF), and there are so many times that he’s just done in-game things that make no sense.
I have a strong memory of watching a game early last year where he tried to bunt over Jason Botts with Hank Blalock, or some other slow player. It was the easiest most pitiful double play i have ever seen.
I don’t think a manager really has a huge impact unless he’s just really terrible at in-game decisions. And that is Ron Washington.

he’s just not ready for that high pressure of a line up spot. you need a veteran there.

Can't blame them...
I went and saw a movie last Friday at noon and I was so tempted to walk up to the counter and “say one for Hannah Montana” just to see how long someone would follow me around the theater.
They don’t check to see if you are going into the right theater after you buy your ticket so I could have still gone and seen what I saw anyway (Adventureland by the way is pretty good). Still think I should have done it, and worn a long black trench coat to boot.

With the size of DFW
a crowd of 15K and under is just embarassing. I get the “if they don’t win, then eff them” attitude, but a big crowd is good for the team.
Are you worried that a 25-30K average attendance is going to make Hicks a worse owner?

Pitch F/X on Millwood this inning.
None of Teahan’s pitches were even close to the zone. But at least two, and probably all four, pitches against Butler were strikes.
Umpire fail.
And the called strikes in that last PA were at least as borderline ahs the Butler PA. WTF?!

God, I hate that…

Because the runner is already in scoring position.
It’s kind of a waste of a shot to drive him home.
Of course, we just failed to score after a leadoff triple, so…

Get Salty to third and let one of either Kins or Young get him in. I like those odds

No he's not right
the idea of the bunt is to give your best hitters a chance to hit at least a sac fly. The bunt worked. The hitters after the bunt are the ones who failed.

The idea of the game is obviously to score runs, not advance runners
or give your best hitters chances to hit sacrifice flies. If the bunt doesn’t help you score, it didn’t accomplish it’s aim. It was a failed tactic.

I know it was Andrus
But giving Grienke extra outs doesn’t exactly help our cause…

what are the odds andrus gets a hit v greinke righ there, really?
there was at least a chance that kinsler got the sac fly.
i don’t know that i would have called for it but i dont think it had much of an impact either wya.

Probably not
But Grink basically only had to get 2 outs that inning instead of 3.

Who knows?
The kid’s never faced Greinke, and vice-versa; maybe Greinke gives him a pitch to hit. I’d rather see him get the chance than lose an out getting the runner from second to third.

I can't really argue with that bunt
Obviously, it didn’t work, but I don’t like the chances of Andrus scoring Kinsler home right there. And since we saw what Kinsler and Young did, I don’t think its anything to complain about.
