Any perceived slight or close call
Washington needs to go f’ing nuts and get his ass run because the crowd and team are both flat.
I’m not a big advocate of doing that but 3-4 times a year, it’s not a terrible idea.

Not really
Rudy actually hasn’t been the one to blame for most of this team’s hacktastic-ness this year. It’s just that we swapped all our patient hitters from last year out for Blalock and Andrus.

Bradley hitting .188 is responsible for his .310 OBP
Playing in the field doesn’t help that.
By 2028, Mark Teixeira will be in the HOF.
-The Outlaw
I think Bradley at DH
allowed him to be rested each day and not have to worry about any injuries. Now, his walk rate is about the same as its been for most of his career, but he isn’t making any type of good contact.
By 2028, Mark Teixeira will be in the HOF.
-The Outlaw
He had a career year last year.
This season, so far, he’s struggling. I just don’t know how much of the difference can be chalked up to the requirement that he play in the field.
Do you not think it has any effect on him
A guy that has consistently had injury problems throughout his career is being asked to run around in the OF and put more pressure on his body. Last year, he was able to stay pretty healthy throughout most of the season while playing the DH even though he was just coming off ACL surgery. This year, not so much.
By 2028, Mark Teixeira will be in the HOF.
-The Outlaw
As I wrote,
“I just don’t know how much of the differencecan be chalked up to the requirement that he play in the field.”
ughh
So why don’t you just say that inthe first place instead of doing this whole leading the witness thing?
By 2028, Mark Teixeira will be in the HOF.
-The Outlaw
I couldn't find the words for my argument
GDawg summed it up nicely. I think Bradley is a good hitter and an awful fielder.

by The Best Micah on May 25, 2009 2:24 PM CDT up reply actions
Fair enough.
I do think there’s some regression going on, and of course Bradley was injury prone even last year.
I’m not saying that no part of his struggles could be related to the lack of DHing, but I’m not sure he’d be the panacea for the Rangers’ hacktasticness that some folks seem to think he’d have been if he’d stayed.
Sometimes personality counts
Everyone said he was a good clubhouse guy, but I wonder now. His comments about not being willing to go out and play everyday when he had a slight pain because he didn’t have a long-term contract kind of makes me wonder what his attitude was really like.
-- Micah

I'm an Andrus-caliber catch. :-)
by The Best Micah on May 25, 2009 2:29 PM CDT up reply actions
His attitude was probably fine
It looked like he was a great guy around the clubhouse. My guess is that even his teammates didn’t really know he wasn’t giving it his all with the way he was hitting. Bradley’s really the only guy that knows if he’s giving it his all.
By 2028, Mark Teixeira will be in the HOF.
-The Outlaw
Yep
and our refusal to play our most patient hitter (Jones) at the expense of one of our least (Byrd) certainly doesn’t help
"Hustle doesn't cost a dime and it looks good." - Pete Rose as Channeled by Marcus Lemon
Defense matters, too.
Although, I think we’d all like to see Jones playing for Blalock more.
by GhettoBear04 on May 25, 2009 2:09 PM CDT up reply actions
Marlon Byrd
has been a below average defender this year. If he was Julio Borbon or Franklin Gutierrez-esque, yeah, that’s fine. Otherwise, you’re kidding yourself.
"Hustle doesn't cost a dime and it looks good." - Pete Rose as Channeled by Marcus Lemon
Murphy would be better than Byrd too
He actually leads the team in P/PA and has almost doubled his walk rate this year.

"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 on Matt Harrison
These guys are also struggling right now
They are in ultra hacktastic mode when they are usually just in normal hacktastic mode.
By 2028, Mark Teixeira will be in the HOF.
-The Outlaw
I'm just curious
AJM posted those BA scouting reports on Blalock from ’02 and ’03. He was a patient hitter in the minors.
You're "not saying that"? Really?
Anybody worried Smoak will come up and Rudy will turn him into Blalock?
Hate me some Knox though
"Hustle doesn't cost a dime and it looks good." - Pete Rose as Channeled by Marcus Lemon
Seeing McCoy
makes me wince thinking about my Red Raiders going to Austin in early September.
We have a young QB plus the zebras are going to stick it up our ass further than usual.

Lots of talent coming back
but just not Harrell & Crabtree and a couple of good defenders.
I go into every season expecting 8-4 and next year is no different.
"Dying ain't hard. It's living that's hard."
so basically
you lose the best 2 players on your team, at 2 of the most important positions in your offense
like i said, maybe tech just isnt that good

I think Tech is a Top 20
team next year so it depends on how high your bar of “good” is.
"Dying ain't hard. It's living that's hard."
top 20?
after losing their 2 best players?

Absolutely.
Potts is a junior and has been there a while so he understands the offense.
They have 5 or 6 of those WR’s coming back (lost Crabtree & Morris) and one of the RB’s coming back (Crawford) saw a lot of time as frosh but was hurt last year.
I see us losing in Austin, Stillwater and probably to OU up in Lubbock but they should easily go 8-4 maybe better.
"Dying ain't hard. It's living that's hard."
how many snaps has potts taken in his career?
and 8-4 is possible, but is 8-4 a top 20 team?
Scout: He was a first-round pick right? Got a huge bonus?
KG: Oh yeah.
Scout: Well, he spent a lot of it on milkshakes.
-
Scout to KG: On Sandoval: "Man, that fat [expletive]-er can hit."
by knockoutking on May 25, 2009 2:15 PM CDT up reply actions
8-4 is around the Top 20
and Potts has taken several snaps in those Tech blowout wins.
Leach has done wonders with several qb’s with lesser talent than Potts so I have no reason to believe differently.
They lost two great players but so much of that infrastructure is coming back and I’m very optimistic that they’ll go at least 8-4 and 10-2 is not an impossibility.
"Dying ain't hard. It's living that's hard."
Kansas, KState, Nebraska
and I don’t think it’s a given they lose in Stillwater but that’s been a tough place in the past.

Swinging at a first pitch is just a symptom.
Of the true problem: not being patient.
The reason we want them to be patient is because we want them to swing at good pitches. If the first pitch is a good pitch to swing at, then please do.

I want Melky Cabrera and Pablo Sandoval to play for the same team
just to see who is the worse base runner.

They're not pulling Harrison at this point.
Really?

well lets try a Ouiji board then.
Rodney if I had known you were going to get a mohawk, start wearing gold chains, call everyone fool, and re-name yourself Mr. R I may not have been so generous with the work-out tips. I'd re-think all that big guy.
Pulling him means Benson comes in
Its a lose-lose.

harrison
probably done after this inning. but not before
"I just want to comment on how it’s become like a common thing in the [MLB] for guys to fall in love with [the Rangers’s] sloppy seconds." (thanks cstorm)
Just like BMac shouldn't be judged by one start
neither should Matt. Young pitchers will have games like this.
"Hustle doesn't cost a dime and it looks good." - Pete Rose as Channeled by Marcus Lemon
It seems to me Wash is punting...
They’re just trying to keep the pen rested for games that may be a little more in reach

that he was going to throw a CG
cant go against his gut ya know!

but he’s not getting the same strike zone hughes is
"I just want to comment on how it’s become like a common thing in the [MLB] for guys to fall in love with [the Rangers’s] sloppy seconds." (thanks cstorm)
they are straight up teeing off on harrison

who cares?
let him finish the inning – especially since the score is 6-0. 6-0! how the hell can any decision wash makes affect a 6-0 game?
if the edict is to let pitchers finish the innings, these are the games where it absolutely doesn’t matter

Another really dumbass decision by the dumbest manager
in MLB that didn’t come back to haunt.
Just because it works does not mean it was a good decision.

why exactly are you here?
"I just want to comment on how it’s become like a common thing in the [MLB] for guys to fall in love with [the Rangers’s] sloppy seconds." (thanks cstorm)
you are new and you lost faith after 5 bad innings
"I just want to comment on how it’s become like a common thing in the [MLB] for guys to fall in love with [the Rangers’s] sloppy seconds." (thanks cstorm)
It's not about the 5 innings...
It’s the last decade. I’ve seen winning streaks in the past, and I’ve seen us fall apart after the all star break. It’s just hard to keep the faith.
faith his hard to keep, but it's so gratifing when it pays off!
