If a woman has to choose between catching a fly ball and saving an infant's life, she will choose to save the infant's life without even considering if there are men on base. ~Dave Barry
no
like I said, I don’t like him particularly. But I just think the mindless “he sucks” are really annoying. I would like to identify actual bad moves. Instead, people just point out moves that are slightly less than completely obvious and take the opposite side when it doesn’t work out. At least you didn’t think the holland move was bad but when he has to decide between pinch hitting two bottom of the order hitters and he decides to PH his #9 hitter as opposed to his #8 hitter – geez

i think leaving in TT is the right thing
he has some pop and can make it happen, although i will say that Max is by far the superior hitter.

here's another reason i was mulling
the #9 hitter is going to get some good pitches to hit because jenks doesn’t want to pitch to kinsler. so, there’s a good case that can be made that murphy wasn’t going to get better looks from the #9 spot then the #8 spot.
it’s not a great reason, but it factors in
Ceterum censeo Cat esse delendam - Cahill the Elder
max had a .605 ops in AAA so far
hes a better hitter long term, but at this moment they both probably suck.
the preceding post was a great success.
does it?
just barely. AAA is not the same as the majors
Ceterum censeo Cat esse delendam - Cahill the Elder
big ol' meh
Not hitting at all in the Majors isn’t exactly more impressive than mediocre hitting in AAA. And I think he’s been hitting better as of late but I could be wrong on that.

Hank Blalock's pitch recognition sucks.
I’d say his plate discipline sucks too, but he doesn’t have any.
I could probably go stand in the batters box and work the count better than him right now.

what is his ops with runners on base?
he gets most of his HRs in no pressure situations.

Who gives a fuck
what his OPS in a SS is?
Let’s talk about his sub .300 OBP.
"Hustle doesn't cost a dime and it looks good." - Pete Rose as Channeled by Marcus Lemon
Well, 637 OPS with men on
But an 842 OPS with 2 HR with RISP. So he’s been decent at driving in runs, most of the time.
His problem is his hacktastic tendencies mean he’s not getting on base the rest of the time, and therefore creating a ton of outs.

Those guys shouldn't be hitting fifth

That pathetic AB vs. Linebrink /w MY on third was the worst AB I have ever seen. The sooner the Rangers are rid of him, they better off they’ll be.

"You know a pitching prospect isn't any good if John Daniels doesn't trade him away but keeps him insteaad." - http://crops.mlblogs.com/
"You probably can throw Neftali Feliz on that group of overblown Rangers pitching prospect failures." - http://crops.mlblogs.com/
This is the shitty part of OPS
He’s fucking terrible, but since 1/3 of his hits have been homers, he looks alright (as in, Mike Jacobs alright).
Which isn't very good and still skewed by his high SLG.
Given the small sample size, his OPS, wOBA, wRaa, WPA, etc. etc. are totally irrelevant to me right now. The dude just looks straight up fucking terrible at the plate. It honestly looks like he’s trying to homer his way to a new contract.
If Blalock plays another fucking game ahead of Jones when Hamilton gets back, both Daniels and Washington deserve to be skewered.
A .352 wOBA is far from bad if he keeps it up all year
Yes, he looks bad at the plate, but Blalock is better than this. He’s seen 3.36 pitches/PA while he has averaged about 3.7 for his career. He’s walking 1.3% of the time while he has walked 8.3% of the time over his career. This isn’t going to last all season. And if he manages a .352 wOBA until he starts showing his usual patience, its something I can live with.
By 2028, Mark Teixeira will be in the HOF.
-The Outlaw
It's irrelevant whether or it lasts all season.
No, he’s not going to walk at a 1.3% pace for the rest of this year, but he’s not going to reach 8.3% either. I wouldn’t be surprised if he finishes around the 6.9% he put up last year.
Jones is much much better at this point, and I’m willing to bet that Jones will be better than Blalock throughout the course of the year. Neither dude will be with the team next year…there’s no excuse not to play Jones.
Also, a .352 wOBA from a DH, on this team? I’m sorry, but that’s bad.
I am perfectly fine if he puts up a 6.9% walk rate this season
With his power, that’s going to be a productive season for him.
Jones is playing better so far in the season, but I’m still skeptical on him being able to do this while playing everyday. Right now, he isn’t being overexposed to AL pitchers who haven’t ever seen much of him, and he has hit great during this time. Since Blalock isn’t hitting that poorly right now (contrary to popular belief), I think taking the risk of overexposing him right now isn’t worth it. With Hamilton on the DL though, it looks like we’ll be seeing more of Jones in LF everyday and we’ll be able to get a better idea on how he looks when he is playing everyday.
And a .352 wOBA is not bad. Its 1% better than the average hitter right now. When you consider that this is coming during what is most likely a semi-slump for him, its even better. Blalock is far from this team’s biggest problem and is way down the list of reasons why this team has lost games this season.
By 2028, Mark Teixeira will be in the HOF.
-The Outlaw
He makes outs
in over 70% of his PAs. That ain’t good.

"You probably can throw Neftali Feliz on that group of overblown Rangers pitching prospect failures." - http://crops.mlblogs.com/
That's not going to continue though
He’s better than this and is going to end the season with an OBP at least in the .330 range (if he hits around .270 or so). As long as he keeps hitting for a ton of power while struggling with his plate discipline, I can live with it.
By 2028, Mark Teixeira will be in the HOF.

his SLG will drop 50-100 points.

Thats just because you hate BMac
Because on Feldmans best day he isn’t better than BMac.
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.
Right. He couldn't hold BMac's jock yesterday
I don’t hate BMac, you will not find any evidence that would suggest that I hate BMac.
Well then wanting Feldman in the rotation over BMac is completely idiotic then
The only possible defense would be if you only had one spot and optioned BMac but even then I don’t think they are close enough to warrant optioning BMac. He is simply a better pitcher with higher upside than Feldman. And I love me some Scooter Feldman.

i don't understand why you take him out
now wash doesn’t let anybody get out of a jam. i can understand if he wasn’t pitching well, but damn those were two well placed hits and he was staying away from Quentin. Wash is a moron.
If a woman has to choose between catching a fly ball and saving an infant's life, she will choose to save the infant's life without even considering if there are men on base. ~Dave Barry
Cause
he’s a guy who’s made 1 start this year, and a guy who has a history of struggling during his last inning? How bout the fact that 100% of the very people on these blogs bitched about nothing but how Washington took Feldman out too late last year?

did he ever pitch like that last year?
i don’t think so. not 1 ball was hit hard against him. that is why you leave him in
If a woman has to choose between catching a fly ball and saving an infant's life, she will choose to save the infant's life without even considering if there are men on base. ~Dave Barry
yeah he did
he pitched like that a lot. in fact, that was a typical feldman start
Ceterum censeo Cat esse delendam - Cahill the Elder
Batters had a 967 OPS against Feldman in the 6th inning last year, and a 1.271 OPS from the 7th inning on
And Feldman was just making his second start of the year. So I can definitely see the rationale behind having him on a short leash. It was probably overmanaging to not let him at least face Thome, but I can definitely understand the rationale behind the move.
After all, with Feldman’s history we’d be calling Wash a moron for not bringing Holland in if he’d have left Feldman in and Thome would’ve gotten that hit off him.

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.
It has nothing to do with the idiotic focus of Evan Grant
it’s all about his 6-8 BB/K ratio. His awful % of 1st pitch strikes. His worsening number of swinging strikes. His poor fastball location since the first game of the season, and his tendency to put guys on base via hits, walks and silly shit.
CJ Wilson is not a good pitcher. Even in his 2008 year, his tRA was barely above average. To think that CJ wilson is the answer is wrong.

Holland gets too much of the plate. I like that he goes after hitters, but you can’t do that in the middle of the plate. Also, Feldman handled Thome pretty well. They had one nice battle where Feldman had struck him out.

I think you're scraping the bottom of the barrel
with Murphy and TT. They have been our 2 least productive hitters. Murphy has had one good game. They both suck right now

I meant
Murphy & Elvis > TT & Murphy
You use Murphy for TT not only because of the LHB vs RHP but also Murphy has more experience than TT. Also, he has had good ABs even though they haven’t produced many hits. And Andrus is hittting better than both TT and Murphy.

Because traditionally
TT has been a better power hitter than Elvis.
Look, I think the whole pinch hitting thing is fucking retarded. Like I ranted about last year, if you want to pinch for someone, that 1 AB sample doesn’t matter for fuck.
"Hustle doesn't cost a dime and it looks good." - Pete Rose as Channeled by Marcus Lemon
I assume you meant
Murphy and Elvis > TT and Murphy.
1) barely, if at all
2) you are subbing your catcher, which you should avoid if you can
3) Murphy might have seen better pitches to hit from the 9 hole
4) you are possibly giving murphy a chance to hit with a runner in scoring position or possibly on third
5) the preceding reasons show that the move is not assinine but could have gone iether way (you could make a similar list for doing it the other way). Therefore, it’s not a real reason to bitch. Just a choice that could have probably gone either way.

TT
First why do people think MAx would come in and save the day? What has he shown above AA to make you think in his first ML AB of the season in a close game against another teams closer he would do any better than TT? If you are looking for the homerun to tie the game they both probably have as good a chance to do that. And since TT is far superior to Max defensively wouldn’t you want to have that guy in should you tie the game?

OK...
so I just finished watching the game on my DVR and haven’t read everything here. I’m sure there has been a lot of Wash bashing and usually I defend him, but I can’t tonight.
You don’t bring in Holland when Feldman is pitching the way he was pitching. He was under 80 pitches and earned the right to try and get out of that situation on his own. I’m tired of reading shit about how the Rangers want to get Holland’s feet wet and put him in situations that he can succeed. Bases loaded against Thome is not one of those situations. Especially for a guy coming out of the ‘pen who isn’t used to doing that.
Also, not to rain on the parade with Holland but he should still be in OKC working on his secondary pitches. Right now he looks like a one pitch pitcher to me. That fastball and location is pretty good and will get him by a lot of hitters. However if he is going to be the pitcher we all think he can be he needs to start throwing that slider for a strike and start using his change up.
"The only good is knowledge and the only evil is ignorance."-Socrates
feldman
again, i think it could have gone either way. i think feldman is still in the process of getting stretched out, has never been great in the 6th, and holland was there for the left lefty matchup
you know, coming in and giving up a double is part of the learning curve. it will helpt him be a better pitcher in the future.

Ron said he could had went 100 pitches today
but he just didn’t want him to ruin his own good outing with one bad pitch

that is awesome
and a terrible reason. fine. pile on.
Ceterum censeo Cat esse delendam - Cahill the Elder
I know Feldman...
is still being stretched out and his weakness last year was around that time in the game. However I think with the way he pitched tonight he should have been given the shot to get that last out. If the Rangers want their starters to go deeper into games, and constently say so, then pull a guy who was under 80 pitches with 2 hits and 1 walk the entire game I think it sends a bad message to Feldman. Maybe it’s just, me but he looked pretty upset that he was being pulled too. They should have had more faith in him in that situation after the way he had pitched. Just my opinion.
And so help me if Benson comes back and they put Feldman back in the ‘pen for him I’m going to hop aboard the fire Wash/JD train. Feldman needs to be in the rotation.
By the way, nice to see Firebat, Boomer, and yourself playing nice with a ChiSox fan. Haha.
"The only good is knowledge and the only evil is ignorance."-Socrates
Feldman was stretched out in ST
He only went to the bullpen either at the end of ST or for opening day (can’t remember exactly when). After his last start, he should be good to go a full game.
By 2028, Mark Teixeira will be in the HOF.
-The Outlaw
I think it will probably take him 2 starts to get fully stretched out
So he should be ready to go next time out no doubt about it
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 seems to be one issue with Feldman
And it’s the kind that won’t go away with conditioning, more innings or work, adjusting the arm slot, or anything else. He cannot go through a MLB lineup a third time, and generally has trouble getting through one a second time. Five innings of ground ball inducing brilliance is the absolute most anyone should expect of him.

In the aggregate, you may be right, but the 6th tonight seemed a little fluky.
by brettgardner on May 1, 2009 11:37 PM CDT up reply actions
I agree
they sincerly had zero hard hit balls off him the entire night, he was pitching better than maybe any pitcher we’ve had going… Im very frustrated we managed to lose a game like this. We have been getting above average pitching for about a week now and yet we are right were we started a week ago.
There are alot of issues that need to be worked out with this team, and id say #1 right now is our approach at the plate and the mental errors we are making
"The House That Ruth Built, 85 years old, goes out as The House That Hamilton Knocked Down"
I don't think you can say that more innings of work won't help him out
He’s been a reliever for most of his pro career. Having to go through a lineup more than once isn’t something he’s really had to work on. More innings of work could help him learn how to deal with facing the same hitter 3 or 4 times in a game. If he improves his stuff a bit more on top of that (or even in place of that), it could make enough of a difference to let him get through that 6th/7th inning.
By 2028, Mark Teixeira will be in the HOF.
-The Outlaw
I hope you are right and I am wrong
About more innings being instructive. I’d love to be able to think he’s good for 6+ innings. When he was starting in the minors, it was symptomatic to go well until an inevitable letdown came. Not that he melts down, he doesn’t he’s competitive. The same stuff that induces mainly ground balls can be hit by MLB batters after they see it a couple of times. Ryan Drese had the same symptoms. Again, I hope I’m overly judgmental about ground ball guys who don’t have a swap off repertoire.

What do you think
is the cause of it? Just not a good enough breaking ball? Because guys like Westbrook made a pretty good living off of their fastballs when they were starters, despite having poor 2ndary stuff.

I'd have to see a cumulative pitch f/x scatter chart
(Which I’m too dumb to create) to verify it, but I think that his best stuff falls into very tight location clusters. Fool me twice, can’t fool me a third time.

Worst case scenario
Well, not worst case scenario, but if you’re right and I’m wrong:
We have a number 5 starter who we can guarantee on 5 solid innings from every 5th day. Holland’s struggles today aside, if you match Feldman up with Holland every 5th day then you can develop Holland effectively and still give your team a solid shot at winning games.

this is what they are doing it looks like
it was just unfortunate that they took him out exactly at that time. I think leaving Feldman in there would have been the correct call and then allowing Holland to start the next inning if you felt like that is the way you wanted to do things
"The House That Ruth Built, 85 years old, goes out as The House That Hamilton Knocked Down"
I disagree
At least until after this year. Last year I think his stamina contributed alot to struggling the third time through the order. Along with his first two starts this year after being relegated to reliever to start the year. But now that he has a full season under his belt and is back to starter stamina I think you’ll see him alot better that third time through the order

I don't think
you can conclude anything based on one outing.
"Hustle doesn't cost a dime and it looks good." - Pete Rose as Channeled by Marcus Lemon
I assume...
you’re talking about Holland.
I’m not concluding that from one outing. I’ve felt he was rushed since he was called up. I think he needs more time in OKC. I’m just as excited as everyone else to see him in the bigs and I hope I’m very very wrong about him being up too early.

did have a good CU tonight. Overall he is doing OK but does tend to catch too much of the plate at times.

"Hustle doesn't cost a dime and it looks good." - Pete Rose as Channeled by Marcus Lemon
Was that his change...
or his slider? Not sure why I can’t tell the difference between the two.
It seems to me that he’s only throwing one other pitch than his fastball.
"The only good is knowledge and the only evil is ignorance."-Socrates
Change is 83-84
Slider is 85-86
2 seamer is 90-91
"Hustle doesn't cost a dime and it looks good." - Pete Rose as Channeled by Marcus Lemon
Thanks...
I may have to go back and watch it again.
I noticed him throwing a couple 2 seamers in his last outing, but didn’t see any today. Of corse I was making my kid dinner when he was pitching in the 7th so I probably just missed it.
"The only good is knowledge and the only evil is ignorance."-Socrates
I thought Thome
hit a 2 seamer, low in the middle of the plate.

Wash just doesn't trust Feldman
5.2 innings, 77 pitches, 0 runs scored and you pull the guy after giving up 2 singles and a walk??? Even if he does give up a run or two there, he’s still pitching a great game. Hell, giving up the grand slam still has him having a solid Ranger start if he can make it through one more inning. Would Wash ever even consider pulling Padilla or Millwood before they are at 100 pitches or at least 5 ER given up.
By 2028, Mark Teixeira will be in the HOF.
-The Outlaw
"Wash just doesn't trust Feldman"...
I’m starting to think that’s really all there is to it. After pitching the way he did in the rotation last year he shouldn’t have had to earn a spot in the rotation to start this year. It’s not like the Rangers signed a couple really good quality pitchers for the rotation that pushed him back into the ‘pen. I know the guy isn’t and ace, but there is zero reason for someone like Benson to be given the shot ahead of Feldman. What the hell has Benson done to earn anyone’s trust in the short time he has been with the Rangers?
"The only good is knowledge and the only evil is ignorance."-Socrates
I think that's pretty obvious
Wash uses guys he trusts. Just look at poor Luis Mendoza.
"Hustle doesn't cost a dime and it looks good." - Pete Rose as Channeled by Marcus Lemon
Yeah...
but poor Luis Mendoza gave everyone a lot of reasons not to trust him last year. He is another guy I hope i’m wrong about, but I sure wouldn’t let Mendoza within shouting distance of a close game right now too.
"The only good is knowledge and the only evil is ignorance."-Socrates
He hasn't pitched since being called up, right?
I’m not sure I’ve seen a single in-game situation where I would say Mendoza would be perfect right here, but working with a smaller bullpen isn’t going to help anymore than having Mendoza in a game. He’d do as well as Guardado at least.
By 2028, Mark Teixeira will be in the HOF.

Well, he can throw an 86 mph fastball and follow that up with an 83 mph change-up. That’s pretty impressive.

Fine.
But Fast Eddie and C.J. had the really good career numbers against Thome and would have been better options out of the pen than an unproven Derek Holland. I know you want to bring the kid along and all, but…
Thome’s line against Eddie Guardado:
32 ABs – 5 hits – 20 Ks – .156 average.
