Rangers beat the Yankees
Angels lose.
The only thing that could have made this night better is if Papelbon took a line drive to the balls
By 2028, Mark Teixeira will be in the HOF.

interesting pic
so Davis somehow hit 2HR’s and managed not to really convince me that he’s snapping out o fit.
"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)
Of course you wouldn't
Because it would make too much sense for you if you did believe Davis was snapping out of it.
By 2028, Mark Teixeira will be in the HOF.
-The Outlaw
no
its the logic thing that you seem to have trouble with. go back to “he looks slow/he looks fast”
"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)
btw
you see how most people agree?
"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)
Do you see how
hypocritical it is to not buy into a small sample from Davis but buy into a small sample from Jones.
By 2028, Mark Teixeira will be in the HOF.
-The Outlaw
its not even a sample size issue
its a situational issue. If he had caught up to a 90mph fastball just once then I would have more confidence. But he hit a few changeups.
you obviously understood that; now you’re just arguing for the sake of arguing.
"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)
1) track record over career
2) length of career
3) strike out %
mormons stole me and held me against my will with Oklahoma beer and 12+ hour work days.
and the jones thing
your position: he looks slow
my position: the results don’t bear that out. even if it is small sample size, no sample of results says he’s slow. the only thing that does is your eyes and his lumbering style.
how can that possibly go in your favor? how?
"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)
Slow doesn't mean bad
Slow often leads to bad fielding, but that doesn’t mean that the results (especially over 12 chances) will be affected by that.
How do you not understand this?
By 2028, Mark Teixeira will be in the HOF.
-The Outlaw
ok but you have no objective determination of slow
just your eyes. you have no objective determination of fielding at all. the onyl objective determination of fielding says he’s good.
if you were to pick that he’s a bad fielder, it means you are discounting objective evidence for your subjective evidence. yeah, I’m not doing that
"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)
Its not hard to see when someone is slow
I don’t need to time him out there to see how slow he is.
I’m not discounting any objective evidence. I’m discounting your raping of statistical analysis by trying to say that 12 chances by a defensive player can lead to any kind of reasonable assessment. The only objective determination of fielding for Andruw Jones isn’t out there. There is no statistic anywhere that doesn’t have huge inaccuracy problems with small sample sizes.
By 2028, Mark Teixeira will be in the HOF.
-The Outlaw
really?
answer me this: if I had just said, in 12 times, he looks like he’s getting good reads, would that be better. How about if I had jsut said, no he’s not, he’s fast.
You’ve seen maybe 30 chances where he’s ran and you’ve dubbed him slow. Of course, you’ve probably never seen a chance where he actually had to run fast. yet,you’ll just choose to call him slow.
Ill make these easy for you. he’s not slow, he’s fast. he’s getting great reads. i don’t need numbers to tell me that.
"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)
I've figured it out
You’re blind. That’s got to be it. Because if you can’t see what everyone else is seeing (including the Rangers themselves), then I don’t know what other explanation there is. The guy has been slow to get to fly balls and he’s been slow running the bases. I haven’t dubbed him slow. He’s done that himself by being not fast.
Its interesting that he is getting great reads in LF, but is unable to do so in RF.
And you had just said that in his 12 chances in LF, that he looks like he’s getting good reads, that would be your opinion and I couldn’t argue much with it. Instead, you try to pass off your opinion as some objective evidence that Jones is clearly a good LF, isn’t slow, and is a good option in the OF even when compared to Murphy.
By 2028, Mark Teixeira will be in the HOF.
-The Outlaw
because the NYY
were stupid enough to throw him off-speed pitches. When he starts hitting FBs again then he is out of his slump.
Elvis Andrus - 2009 AL Rookie of the Year
Mitch Moreland - 2009 Rangers Minor League POY
yes, exactly
I know CD can hit those FBs, but he still hasnt shown that he can do that consistently this year. When he starts catching up to and making contact with hard fastballs, then I think we can proclaim that he is “out of it”… Im still dumbfounded as to what Joba was doing on that change up he floated up there for CD.
"The House That Ruth Built, 85 years old, goes out as The House That Hamilton Knocked Down"
i think people look at his hulking size
and think they have to do more than just throw fastballs up in the zone. but really, seems like all that is necessary
"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)
or FB low in the zone, or FB inside
mormons stole me and held me against my will with Oklahoma beer and 12+ hour work days.
i don't remember it being the case last year
im still hoping its a mechanical issue.
the preceding post was a great success.
definitely wasn't the case last year
he punished fastballs (at least from what I remember).
"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)
which probably explains why he chases those pitches
"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)
Not only that
but he punished them the other way. How man oppo HRs did he hit last year vs. this year?
"Hustle doesn't cost a dime and it looks good." - Pete Rose as Channeled by Marcus Lemon
good observation
He hasn’t hit any to the opposite field this year.
Last year, he hit 10 of his 17 left of center.

Didnt CD k twice with RISP
Yay for the homeruns but they were both solo shots and he still has to prove he can hit a fastball
i think Marlon has to get lots of credit for the offense….big 2 out 2 run single to start us off in the 1st and then his big double lead to what ended up being the game winning run
And lets hear it,
for FX^2! A perfect ninth and STILL a 0.00 ERA

unrelated but along the same lines:

CD is the man
CJ is the man too, and MY is the goat for going out of the strike zone at a critical point against Joba.

Will Holland be on a pitch count again?

which will make it tough to go 6 against that team. I wonder how the bully plays out w/ a lead.

what was his count last time?

Probably discussed in the GDT. EG says BMac may be pushed back a day because of the # of pitches he threw vs Houston. Hunter might get the start forcing Madrigal to be sent down between games of the DH. Or Mathis could start which probably means Benson gets DFA’d.
I vote for Mathis to start and then keeping him in the bullpen as the long reliever.

Just send Madrigal down, call up Hunter. Then swap out Hunter when Vinny is ready to go.

think it will be mathis
since he actually got pulled early.
hunter also through a shit ton of pitches in his last start

From that thread
The Ranger commentators just compared the Yankees to a Wedding cake with no forks/knives and napkins. They said the lack of a quality bench and bullpen (outside Mo) is basically going to lead to our demise.
Can someone remind them of who they are? Rangers haven’t had any pitching (outside Ryan) for decades.
While this is technically true, they missed the point of Josh and Tom’s metaphor. They were illustrating how the Yankees spend so much money on starters but seem to pay little attention to a bench or bullpen.

I just look at the numbers that show up in the box score, anything else just seems like work…unless you’re a big fantasy guy. All I know is: if Chris Davis is not striking out, he’s hitting home runs

im more in depth than that, for example,
when Lewen was talking defense today and ratings i really wanted him to delve deeper and go beyond fielding % but it was obvious he wouldnt.
i like the #’s and im willing to commit tilme to understanding what each stats trying to show, but im not a “235, 235 matches”
“what ray?” “the number of matches on the ground, 235”
some of the guys here are awesome at that stuff, and thats why i ask when i need a breakdown of how a stat is formulated to get a better grasp. it came up not long ago with a newer stat i needed some explanation on.
some of that shit is really useful, some of it if you just look at numbers and dont breakdown their meaning you miss the point.
example: pete rose hit over an 800 ops only a few seasons. that doesnt mean much for a low power high singles guy.

It was cheap, but I had a place to stay 1/2 the time.
Drove to Boulder,CO and stayed w/ friends for a day. From there to Seattle, that took a while but we made it in 1 trip up thru WY, MT, ID, and WA. Had to take turns driving w/ the girl I went with, so got some nap time in. 3 days in Seattle w/ friends. Only expenses were gas, food, and booze w/ the friends.
Next stop was in Bend, Oregon. Cheap motel. Then to Vegas for a night. Hotel, food, gambling. Next day Grand Canyon- cheap(the price, not the view). Then we hit up some friends in Sante Fe, NM. Next day back to Dallas.
Overall- 5 days of driving plus about 6 days of visiting. This was ’96, but other than what I lost in Vegas, all other expenses were about $500 for gas, food, booze, and 2 nights hotels. Gas was cheaper, and my little truck got nice mileage. And having places to stay helped immensely.
"I saw your act, just didn't make it for me. Just a lot of fluff."
not bad at all...
im thinking of doing kind of the same thing
Texas to CO (place to stay) – one day
CO to SEA (place to stay – with a day stop in between
SEA to San Jose (place to stay)
San Jose to Grand Canyon (hotel)
Grand Canyon to Albuquerque, NM (hotel)
back to Dallas
so thats 7+ days
5000 miles
at ~30 MPG and 2.50/gal cost (avg)
comes out to ~420 for gas + hotels + trip length = can def do haha

We just let things happen organically.
No planned stops outside of friends, Vegas, and the Grand Canyon. One that caught us by surprise, and that I would recommend, was Williamette National Forest in Oregon. Beautiful, snow-capped in late May.
Also, got to Grand Canyon at dusk. Perfect purple skies, found a place under a ridge at the top and took in the sights w/ a few beers.
Everything else was just ad-libbed, viewing Americana. Also, I’m not sure how far out of the way it would of been, but I’ve been to Glacier National Park in MT before. It’s the most beautiful place in America, IMO.
