So murphy 5th vs another lefty. Well, worked out last time anyway.
Matt Kemp is batting 9th for LAD, that seems weird. I can’t remember if he was yesterday, I wasn’t paying that much attention while we pitched.

Hall of Fame pitcher Nolan Ryan was on the same pitching staff with Danny Darwin during the 1986 through 1988 seasons. Both were described by Milo Hamilton as "tall, tough Texans." It was a source of debate amongst Astros players and fans over who would win in a fight, Ryan or Darwin. Though Astros pitcher Bob Knepper attempted to set up a fight between the two during spring training in 1988, manager Hal Lanier stopped it before it could commence. Many experts, including Astros shortstop Rafael Ramirez, felt that Darwin would win because he "looked like someone no man would want to mess with."

Wash tracks ABs of 8 or more pitches, according to Sherrington.
For instance, the week of May 4-10, the Rangers were 6-for-30 driving in runs with two outs. They were .500 driving in runs from third base with less than two outs.
But they had only four hitters with at least eight-pitch at bats, Washington’s ideal.
Might this be ammo to scream at Rudy about?

Seriously
There’s no reason for Brandon Boggs to be on the bench today.
Just freaking put him on waivers and let him go to some team that will actually give him a chance to play occasionally.
Geez.
But C'mon
Randy Wolf IS allowing lefties to hit him at .089, so it’s not as if it’s impossible for Murphy to get a hit. And besides, the way the Rangers score runs, they don’t need him anyway!
but murphy is hot right now!
stats be damned

Angels/Padres on MLB Network tonight, fwiw.
Will be nice to watch the Angels fall to 5.5 out after our win.
Galarraga
Gives up 2 hits in the 3rd and is yanked.
Have to wonder if he won’t be heading back to the bullpen.
I thought
Detroit had a coupla starters going even worse than him … thus he was pretty safe for a while.
Well
Verlander, Jackson and Porcello aren’t going anywhere.
So it is him, Willis, and Bonderman for two spots.

On mine, it checks my IP to see if I'm blacked out before it will even let me enter my password
Does it do that for you too? That would suck to have two ways of getting locked out of the game.
yes it checks it, then allows me to enter my PW and then tells me I am blacked out
because of location lol

Well, no strikeout this time
Bad luck with the broken bat and a good play by the CF to prevent a hit.
He'll do the crap out of something.
My guess is strike out on a big looping curve or a ball in the dirt.

Davis
Does it look like he’s swinging … slower … more deliberate …. like he wants the bat to remain over the plate longer to increase contact?
He should swing a 2x6.

I'm not saying this because of last night or tonight.
I’ve thought this all year.
Weak-hitting line-up. Good pitching, but nothing that seems that dominant.
the bluejays might ask how we were 10 over 500 at the time.
Their bats are just struggling right now. And manny isn’t that far off.
Of course, we arn’t even winning this game yet.
