On the bright side, I see in the box score that Chris Davis drew two walks.

Willis really only dominated one season.
Outside of 2005, always walked a few too many guys, and didn’t strike out a ton.
I want 30 runs in the first game.
This series makes me want to kill Houston 10 times more than I usually want to.

Elvis Andrus - 2009 AL Rookie of the Year
any reason....
o’day didn’t come in to face cabrera?
And any reason murphy was never running? Would have stayed out of the double play and that is the perfect opportunity to try and get the winning run one basehit away from scoring.
ODay
There is absolutely no excuse not to bring him in in that situation. I think is another example of the Nolan-edict hurting this club. Its like Washington is scared to go to his bullpen cause he thinks Nolan will get upset or something. Millwood was at almost 120 pitches and had put two men on base in a tied ballgame. We needed an out. ODay has been almost unhittable against RHB. And he is well rested
As for Murph stealing I don’t know about that. Murphy isn’t the best basestealer we have and with a guy tossing upper 90s heat its tough. Now sending Elvis would have been an option and if we had he probably would have scored on Murphs basehit.
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.
yea i agree
sending murphy would be a real gamble.
Plus miguel cabrera is probably the most dangerous hitter in the AL right now and millwood didn’t even have the stuff to put clete thomas away.
I hdan't thought about stealing Murphy
to goad them into throwing with Elvis at 3rd. They would have had to make a choice.
MYoung hits the ball hard and consequently into a lot of dp’s.
Would have taken guts and brains from Wash.
"Dying ain't hard. It's living that's hard."
I highly doubt you try a double steal of home with a rookie on 3B
If hes too eager he could get faked by a throw or any number of things happen. Shoulda tried to steal with Elvis on 1st or maybe a steal and hit with Kinsler. Im fine with not running Murph even if it did lead to the game ending DP
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.
I was looking for it
@ 2-0 on Murphy. No pitchout coming. E woulda scored on the next pitch, assuming the same events unfold.
"I saw your act, just didn't make it for me. Just a lot of fluff."
i agree completely
you could tell millwood was laboring and o’day’s arm angle could have given cabrera problems

On both the our pussies making it to the playoffs (they won’t) and on the AL East not getting two teams in (meaning even if our pussies did vag their way in they’d have to vag it up for three games worth of fail versus an AL East team).

In a bad mood after that game, wondering why I was coming to this thread to relive it in some small way. And then to come across comments like this that made me laugh hard. Thanks for the mood boost, even if it was unintentional.

ridiculous
Wash will have players steal 3rd with 2 outs but he wont steal 2nd with 1 out to avoid the DP…Wash = FAIL
Rudy do your job....
this team is terrible at situational hitting and strikeout to damn much
Rudy
When you have a lineup of power hitters, the strikeouts come with the territory.
But yeah, this team’s seemingly been bad at situational hitting for a while now, and I don’t know why Rudy doesn’t work on that more. Or walking, for that matter.
"I dont care to debate with a troll." - Sharky
all i see with runners on
is Pop ups in the infield, K’s or DP…no moving the runners over with fly balls to the OF with runners on 3rd and less than 2 outs
I think it's time to
move Salty up the ladder and Hank Fucking Blalock down in the line-up.
Maybe you roll with Hank 7th and Crush 8th. There is a place in the order for that much power but the obp, uh, buddy….it’s not good.

don’t have to come with the territory with power hitters. In fact quite a few powerhitters are 400+ OBP guys.

The sooner
we’re rid of both Blalock and Byrd, the better we’ll be.
Byrd should probably be hitting behind Andrus at this point.

To be fair...
Byrd’s lifetime OBP is .342, compared to his BA of .279. That isn’t terrible — he’s been out of it this season.
Byrd gets exposed
when he plays everyday. He is what he is a 4th OF at best
He played pretty much everyday last year

Yeah, I think
he’ll be a decent 1B/DH, but really they need to start discipline some of the guys on this team who throw away so many ABs swinging at trash. I play AJ for those 2, and I let those 2 know thats why they are sitting out. Way too many bad hacks.

Do we have to play in Detroit?
Honestly, this sucks but it’s not the end of the world. The pitching and defense remained good. You know we’re going to hit at some point. The only real concern is that these games were played in a similar manner to playoff games and we saw what happened. Then again, so were the last two against LAA. Of course, if you told we two months ago I’d be worried about how the Rangers would handle playoff-style baseball, I’d have taken it.

Or 2/3/4/5 although Hamilton started
showing a better approach.

Jones should be batting 4th.
I’d be happy with kins, young, hammy and jones.
I'm just goofin' new boot goofin'
I think
it should probably be some variation of
Kins
Young
Hamilton
Jones
Cruz
Murphy/Byrd
Davis
Salty
Elvis
Until further notice.

salty 5th and cruz 6th?

Wouldn't be terrible i don't guess.
I still like kins leading off though. Maybe elvis can start the season leading off next year.

That's why I asked if I was crazy
Kins is a doubles machine and the thought of having a duck on the pond is nice. But then again, having a man standing on second with no outs is also nice…

lineup
It should be Cruz batting 3rd with Hamilton 4th…..nobody wants to give Cruz a fastball, but with hamilton 4th he would be an absolute monster.
So when do we hear Hammy is back on the DL?

Great team to start against, imo.

i get too hung up on lefty/righty i think
but still, all of their decent hitters are righties or switch hitters anyway, still not a bad matchup but not as good as it might appear.
the preceding post was a great success.
So this also means Holland goes against NYY
on Wednesday in Arlington.

I heard bits and pieces of the game ont he Radio
Unfortunately, any time I was able to listen for any significant length of time it was that Barnett guy calling the play by play.
Anyway, they talked like Millwood pitched a very good game. Jackson was apparently throwing hard. How did things really look? I know Barnett seemed to be pissed that Young didn’t come through in the clutch so I don’t really want to hear about that. In general was the offense patient? And how did the pitchers look?
Man it was one of those games where even when something went right for us,
DET turned around and screwed us in the butt again. If you watched either of the other two, this wan’t as bad, but still bad if you know what I mean. Edwin was pitching 97mph in the 8th inning too which didn’t help. Their guys have the definite home field advantage against us that’s for sure. You didn’t miss much though. Kinsler had a hell of a catch to get Cabrera out in the 7th though.
"BIg whoop, wanna fight about it?"
