"The House That Ruth Built, 85 years old, goes out as The House That Hamilton Knocked Down"
So is MY still clutch?
That was kind of big. Even after the robbed home run, Hank should have been up with one out in a one-run game.
and the popout earlier in the game with Kinz on 3rd.

umm YES
I think winning three games with HR’s is a little more significant than having a bad call against you at third base down 3 in the ninth of a single game, this bit about him not being clutch is getting sooo old
by blueballlefty on Apr 30, 2009 4:28 PM CDT up reply actions
..he hit a double in the bottom of the ninth
if someone is saying hes clutch I don’t think that at bat is an argument against it just because he thought he could get to third…
the preceding post was a great success.
I think poor thinking in that situation is as big an argument against someone being clutch as any.
If I actually believed there was such a thing as clutch or unclutch, I would be looking at mental errors like that.
That's supposed to be the whole thing with clutch
By 2028, Mark Teixeira will be in the HOF.
-The Outlaw
Was it a bad call?
It looked like it was a tie at best for Young. Young had no reason to try for third at that time.
By 2028, Mark Teixeira will be in the HOF.
-The Outlaw
Yeah it looked like he was out on the replay
The only way he was safe would be if his initial swipe missed the side of his leg..and even then it looked like just a tie
pretty clutch hitting...
pretty poor baserunning (or deciding)

Like, seriously ,explain to me why he was going to third.
How has he been in baseball that long without knowing the situation?
no fucking clue
Byrd got robbed as well before then, AJ’s homer should have tied the game
"The House That Ruth Built, 85 years old, goes out as The House That Hamilton Knocked Down"
it wouldnt have mattered
if a million other fucking things go one inch our way that game
"The House That Ruth Built, 85 years old, goes out as The House That Hamilton Knocked Down"
Like a sac fly, or a non-bases loaded walk by Eddied
or a non-robbed home run, or a non-robbed single in the 9th, or… fuck!
We may have still lost 4-3.
But we don’t know what Cruz might have done. MY never gave him a chance because he’s one of those many baseball idiots who treat outs like they don’t actually matter.
it was one out
If he got to third it would have set up the sac fly. But it was a 3 run game in the 8th so I’m not sure a sac fly opportunity was worth the risk.

….I didn’t say it was. I was just being a smart ass about my fanpost. The Rangers haven’t been able to win a game yet this season without scoring 5 runs. Not all of that is the pitching/defense’s fault. Some of that seems to be the offense’s boom/bust characteristic.

Baseball tonight
Karl Ravech: we now have Ryan Sweeney on the line. Ryan, what went through your mind when you made that catch?
Ryan Sweeney: Oh, nothing much, I was just trying to focus on the ball – hoping that I would have enough room.
Karl Ravech: What did this win mean for the team?
Ryan Sweeney: Oh, it means a lot, I mean. Our offense has struggled early in the season; I know we will come around, but we can’t waste good pitching performances like what Dallas gave us tonight. It was a good win, hopefully it will carry into the future
Karl Ravech: Where would you rank this catch in the plays you have made in your career
Ryan Sweeney: Oh man, I don’t know. It was definitely special… When I came down with the ball, I was totally on fire. It was like one of those warm feelings that you ha……. ARGGGAGRGARG

Perhaps.
I’d prefer just give AJ Hank’s job until he doesn’t deserve it. Have Hank back he and Crush up. Give Crush plenty of time off, though.

there were a lot of positives to be taken from this
1. Padilla pitched pretty well, and his final line probably should have looked better than it did. 2. Andruw Jones is an asset. 3. Jason Jennings is our new Jamey Wright (when Wright was at this best as an innin-eating reliever. 4. Guardardo is one step closer to being cut.

Padilla
heard he didn’t have great stuff. But he took his time (go figure) and finessed his way through 6 innings. Nice to see that he can still work out of jams.
(Wife) "So what do you want to watch on the T.V.? UFC or porn?"
(Husband) "Hmm... well, porn, I guess."
yeah
a better offense would have probably knocked him out much earlier. his lack of velocity concerns me. we can really only hope for a 6 IP/3 ER quality start as a best case scenario when he has this sort of stuff.

"Hustle doesn't cost a dime and it looks good." - Pete Rose as Channeled by Marcus Lemon
our offense sucks
throughout the entire org right now. it is common for our four affiliates to add up to about 5 runs scored on any given day. i wouldn’t mind if we actually drafted more position players than pitchers this year, especially early.
What is this, Horseville? Because I'm surrounded by naysayers.
I think the lineup is so confused by the strike zones that are being
called against them. Once they get over themselves and adjust to one, there’s an equally nauseating and ridiculous waiting for them the next game.
Yes?
(Wife) "So what do you want to watch on the T.V.? UFC or porn?"

I honestly think
that losing Bradley has had a greater impact on our offense than we ever could have predicted. His patience at the plate seemed to have rubbed off on a lot of our players. When he left he seemed to have taken our plate discipline with him.

Let's give him to the 1/2 mark
Blalock will have some trade value if he continues to hit for home runs and have 1/2 a year left on his contract.

and Justin Smoak will eventually correct that deficiency.

I think we've been working the count pretty well
A lot of solid foul balls, too.

It's more that we're
a flawed offensive team right now. Between Blalock and Byrd, we’re 100% hacktastic.
"Hustle doesn't cost a dime and it looks good." - Pete Rose as Channeled by Marcus Lemon
we need to trade Byrd
ASAP. I love him as a player, but he is so streaky and his value as an all around player can’t get any higher. lots of teams could use a guy who can play all 3 OF positions.
the funny thing about byrd is that last year he was one of our most patient hitters.

Actually has a .833 OPS with 2 HR and 10 RBI with RISP. That’s actually good for 5th on the team right now – and the dropoff from 5th to 6th is huge (Murphy is 6th with a .700).

I just am not surprised enough to be upset. We suck against mediocre lefties and we suck in day games, so I really didn’t expect to win this one. Plus, the A’s are simply a much more intelligent (although far less talented) team than we are.
We face Mark Buehrle tomorrow, and he absolutely owns us, so get ready for another loss. Hopefully it will be a little easier to swallow.

or even Hamilton because they’re adjusting to new stances and stuff. And Salty had a pretty good year last year as far as patience goes, and isn’t going down on first pitching as much as Blalock and Byrd.
The hacking Bs, on the other hand, have been awful as far as P/PA

It just occurred to me that, without a douchey ump or Ryan Sweeney. . .
. . . Kinz would have NINE home runs in April.
CD nugget:
Chris Davis had 34 strikeouts in April, second only to Brad Wilkerson (37 in 2006) for the month of April.
ZOMG!!!

Joe Maddon just said he learned progressive, sabermetric stuff from Bill Bavasi.
That has to be a lie.
I think he meant to say Bill James
or he’s an idiot.

He lies
and he’s a horrible manager.

It's time to call up David Price.
And it’s time for the Indians to purchase Matt LaPorta’s contract.
Wrong coast

I blame Chad Hennings
sorry, love the guy…but I’ve gotta place the blame on him

I'm not convinced Padilla...
and his lack of velocity is just a dead arm now. He seemed to get some back last outing but was right back at 88-90 mph today. His velocity really worries me. I don’t think this team can be close to .500 with Padilla pitching the way he is right now. He’s lucky he was facing the A’s lineup today or he would have given up 5 or 6 runs through 6.

NoNameOnCard has said that he thinks its mechanical
And before Padilla’s last start, Maddux apparently worked with him to try and fix this.
By 2028, Mark Teixeira will be in the HOF.

Dammit
I thought this was going to be a night game.
So what’s the deal with Salty? “Irritation in his right eye?”

Just not in a groove right now.
Maybe the Red Sox will trade him at the deadline and roll with Buccholz.
He hasn't been in the groove
for more than a year.

But I’m betting it’s not the best replay of it.

watching the game on DVR. I can’t believe Young would do something that dumb.

Painful end to April...
but the Rangers are still in decent shape. Hope they can fuse the pitching and hitting more consistently, because this team has an awful tendency to let the other half slide, even with this lineup.
