PrintI hope John Lackey enjoyed his 2009 major league debut. I know I sure did.
And I also hope that message he sent was worth it.
Because Anaheim isn't going to have a real deep pen to work with tomorrow.

Thing is
if they did mean to to it, whether it was just Lackey or involved Scioscia, they presumably felt safe that they could do what they wanted until they were warned. I doubt if him getting kicked out would have even been a consideration. You hit him, get warned, move on.
by Brett Perryman on May 16, 2009 9:07 PM CDT up reply actions
that probably would have been the case
If he would have hit him the first time. But throwing behind him and missing messed that up, and if he really wanted Kinsler, he should have just waited until his next time up. Going right back at him the next pitch was just too obvious.
Doctor please. Some more of these.
And since he threw all of 2 pitches
he can start again pretty soon.

I think Padilla has shown quite a bit of maturity so far this season.

Rev Halofan
is a sore ass loser.
The Texas Rangers play in the nation’s 4th largest media market and it is obvious that MLB wants to get the ratings going to bring in baseball dollars amidst Footballville. They have the umps completely getting in the way of player’s establishing their game and a first inning ejection of John Lackey was the most obvious indicator that baseball intends to hand a mediocre organization a competitive edge though treachery in order to more firmly take on the NFL deep in the heart of Texas.
The terrible Vicente Padilla was given a strike zone slightly deeper than the average Texas oil well, forcing Angels hitters into desperate hacks, many of which went for singles, but plenty of which doomed any chance of them competing.
May the farce be with you, MLB, the Rangers are 6 games over .500 for the first time since steroids were banned by baseball and are one urine specimen and a Tim Donaghy-style investigation away form their rightful place… and that would be fighitng for third with Seattle.

The terrible Vicente Padilla was given a strike zone slightly deeper than the average Texas oil well, forcing Angels hitters into desperate hacks, many of which went for singles, but plenty of which doomed any chance of them competing (in the comments below, an economist takes issue with my description of Texas Oil Wells, showing Padilla’s zone was not recorded as it appeared to me. Probably one of those spoiled brat heirs to an Oklahoma oil fortune wanting daddy to join OPEC or something, but okay, Padilla attacked the zone, the Angels hacked the zone and that was that).

Good times.
Remember to retire Fin's number, Mark.
I think you do better work.
I mean, he’s more of an analyst than you (and trust me, I don’t mean that as an insult), but you are far more objective, mature and reasonable, and provide a much better and more readable tone for your blog. You never say anything that wnats to make me stab my eyes, partly because I think you know and usually avoid your limitations. Because you aren’t a biased, arrogant douche.
He may be a better statistical analyst of baseball, and I don’t think the front page content of LL is that bad (at least Jeff’s stuff), but while LSB has less to offer me in the way of sabermetrics, I can get that lots of places. When I’m reading a team blog, I vastly prefer the tone you present.
All that said, I also respect you for not trashing other blogs and their writers. I also wouldn’t like to much if the head writer was leading the charge on cross-blog shit-talk fest.

Wow!
(I’m replying to Rev Halofan, not cmkelly29).
That is the biggest pile of horse-puckey in history, & even tomorrow morning, Rev will regret his statements.
The Rangers have NEVER, I repeat, NEVER gotten special treatment from the Umps in their history.
In fact, I’d wager that the Ranger-rep of always hitting, never pitching feeds in to the Umps, & oftentimes the Rangers’ pitching has not gotten a fair-shake.
It not’s some big conspiracy theory. It is baseball. The Rangers have def been treated much more fairly than say, the Mavs, but def not as good as the Cowboys.
You gotta win in this league before you get respect. The Rangers have won exactly one, ONE playoff game. Let’s prove ’em wrong & more calls will go our way.
beneath the paving stones, the beach!
I like how a handful of people (Rev included) keep bringing up it only being May and the Rangers haven't won yet.
Who has said anything about the Rangers having won the division? Seriously, what does that have to do with anything being said over there?
It’s like their mentality goes something like this:
Rangers Fan: I’m not much of a beer fan, but when I drink, I prefer ale to lager. But if I’m going to drink alcohol, make it hard.
Angels Fan: IT IS ONLY MAY! YOU HAVE NOT WON YET THE ANGELS WILL! YOU ARE JUST CELEBRATING BECAUSE YOU DON’T KNOW WHAT IT’S LIKE TO WIN! THAT’S WHY WE HAVE TO PUT YOUR PLAYERS IN THEIR PLACE!!!
Rangers Fan: Um. . .

I’ve never understood the need for 12 pitchers- that’s nearly 50% of your roster devoted to a position that you can only have one of on the field at a time.
I suppose it makes some sense to have a seven-man pen when your pitching traditionally sucks as much as the Rangers’ has, but I’d rather have a five-man bench.
"I dont care to debate with a troll." - Sharky
You need 12 pitchers...
…if your SPs are going to barely go 5 innings per game. And even then, you end up with Jamey Wright and Josh Rupe logging almost 100 innings and being slagged at season’s end.
by Adam J. Morris on May 16, 2009 7:57 PM CDT up reply actions
Yep
In the past we had such a deep bullpen because we had such a crappy rotation. As long as the bullpen is only logging 2-3 innings a game, we can have a deeper bench.

It is.
But it’s become rather prevalent as just a general measuring stick to measure athlete’s speed against one another.
Baseball tends to do 60-yard dashes for scouting and whatnot.

But the 40 is so different for football than baseball
Players in football start squared up. In baseball, they start profile, and then corked out after swinging. Plus, lefty hitters can lean into their first step as opposed to righties, a la Ichiro.
I guess it’s still a useful yardstick for measuring overall speed, just not as applicable for baseball as it is for football (which is still not all that important).

The kid [Kinsler] hit two home runs. When the first pitch of the next game to that hitter is behind him, that’s a red flag. We gave [Lackey] the benefit of the doubt because maybe he was a little amped up coming off the DL. When he hit him with the second pitch hit him, that was something else."

last rangers game i went to i felt like i had a very LSB experience
The guy behind me started talking about how the DH should go into the field and I had an argument with him about the rule associated with losing your DH. Then he started saying that Wash should be replaced (fine) for Art Howe and I asked him why he thought Art Howe wasn’t doing anythign different now.
I yelled a lot (gladly and madly). I watched a yankee fan get into a fight with a ranger fan and went over to see if i could break it up (didn’t need to, yankees fan just left after throwing a punch).
And then Marlon Byrd hit the walkoff grand slam and I yelled and high fived the guy behind me many times. And yelled “this is our house” many times drunkenly to Yankees fans.
The saddest part was that my dad witnessed the whole thing and then made fun of me to my mom when we got home.

I went to the first Cowboys game of my life a few years ago. . .
. . . and several times was upset I couldn’t talk on any of my message boards about things.
Well
I mean I had to sit in my seat for hours before the game, then the lackey ejection cost 15 minutes, then padilla worked painfully slow for the first 5 innings, etc.
No homeruns, only one double.
I don’t mean to say it was a bad game, it was quality, I just like my 4 HR mashfests with more than a K from the pitchers.
the preceding post was a great success.
Ha
Yeah, I can see that.
"Hi, I’m a fucking horsefaced moron." - John Lackey to Ian Kinsler, 5/16/09
"That start was like somebody on a deathbed suddenly jumping up and doing the Lindy Hop, then speeding away on a pogo stick while playing the fiddle." - Telegraph
I was at the game, too.
Thankfully, my mom called before I got there with my friends, so we stopped at Boston’s to eat before the game and got to our seats about 3:45. It wasn’t a terrible wait to the start of the game, but after that Lackey ejection, I thought, “Sweet Jesus, we are going to be here until nine tonight.”
And when Padilla couldn’t throw a strike (or the umpire couldn’t call one, whichever), I thought, “Sweet Jesus, we are going to be here until nine tomorrow morning.”
I want a bobblepic!

…I’m not sure that’s the right way to describe it. Connotes a bunch of extra base hits.

smacked around is accurate for the 4th inning
not real damage but they squared up on a lot of those pitches. they just happen to be line drives and nothing up in the air

Lol rev tried to say padilla had a huge strike zone?
All i heard on the radio for the first half of the game was how padilla was getting squeezed. Yes I sometimes listen to the radio during the game and I despise those who make fun of people doing so.
the preceding post was a great success.
haha
you suck.
Nah I used to do that all the time before satellites and shit screwed up the synch. And I actually find Lewin and Grieve amusing. Do wish Nadel would switch spots with Lewin, though.
Anyway I’ve never heard of anyone making fun of anyone for listening on the radio.

I swear i've heard it at least a half dozen times

same goes for adults bringing a glove or wearing a uni. though I do not bring a glove, if someone wants to get into the spirit of the game more power to them.

a uni?
I kind of agree with the glove, mainly because I’m much better with a glove now then I ever was when I brought one.

i like the kinsler reaction. Maybe a little PG
and the wash reaction – you only see the end.
He did his hand slap and really wanted to high five the guy next to him but Maddux had his arm out for a casual handshake. Wash gives him a hand shake but it looked like they mutually decided in that second to turn it into a bro hug, which became the full embrace. Sort of touching…or something.

PS: on the tattoos, i just dont think you can make a lifelike replica of a guy and leave out things you feel arent marketable etc. if your marketing a dude you gotta take the whole package, you cant just gloss over the stuff that makes people who they are for the same of a buck. my $0.02

the other thing
That might not be obvious from play by plays or video.
Vinny had a terrible 4th and was up to 80+ pitches and looking to be another run away from getting yanked (gets out of it with runners on second and third so a single probably plates 2). Then he starts the 5th giving up a single.
And then DP, and efficient inning after another – and he makes it through 8! Maybe I was being irrational but after the 5th inning, I thought you could probably justify yanking him. To get through 8 was just completely unexpected.
