It's not that bad.
When considering lineup optimization, you don’t necessarily want your best guy 3 — so, it really could be worse.

If he can't see the ball batting...
I imagine he wouldn’t be doing as well defensively either.. Gotta see the ball to field the ball.

Two things
One, in that EG article in the AJC, this was what he said first…
" It took Andruw Jones all of four months to announce that Texas is where he’d like to finish his career. It took him much less time, however, to make that decision in his head."
I dont know how I feel about this…
What happened to hitting Elvis second and MY third… Didnt we do that with success for a week or so back during JHam injury round 1?
This is our year.

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."

I would wager that Salty blocks that ball

Based on perfomance this year.
I don’t have a graph or pie chart for you on this one, just a feeling.
by ncrangerfan on Jun 18, 2009 7:17 PM CDT up reply actions 0 recs
I guess the question is...
…is Salty an inherently better defender than Teagarden, and thus better able to make that play?
Padilla threw it far from where it was supposed to go. Teagarden missed it. I think it is similar to bobbling a ball in the infield…a catcher is occasionally going to have that happen.
by Adam J. Morris on Jun 18, 2009 7:19 PM CDT up reply actions 0 recs
My eyeballs say that Salty has been better defensively this year.
Both recieving and throwing. Maybe I hold TT to an unreasonable standard when I watch him.
Like you said, those plays happen. I didn’t call for the guy to be DFA’d or anything.
by ncrangerfan on Jun 18, 2009 7:21 PM CDT up reply actions 0 recs
I just see that a lot...
…when it comes to catchers…
A ball gets by them, and the response is, “Salty (or Teagarden, or Laird, or Popup, or whomever) would have made that play”.
And the reality is that blocking a ball for a catcher is like hitting a ball is for a hitter…it is hard to say on any particular ball what a player would or wouldn’t do. In one particular situation, Elvis Andrus might homer on a ball that Albert Pujols would swing and miss at. Similarly, many catchers might have made that play, but even Teagarden probably stops that ball the majority of the time.
by Adam J. Morris on Jun 18, 2009 7:29 PM CDT up reply actions 0 recs
Fair enough.
If that play occurs with no one on base most fans wouldn’t have even blinked. Those plays happen.
That was the wrong way to express the way Salty has impressed me defensively and TT has had me scratching my head at times this year.

I would say Salty is a better defensive catcher than Teagarden. I’m very surprised to say this. Teabag has been disappointing to me this year behind the plate.
Of course, Salty has been the same way offensively.

But he’s probably just catching bullpens, prolly not doing blocking drills during the season.
In essence, yeah he should be on it, but I don’t blame a guy for making a gaffe every now and then when he’s not playing 5-6 x’s per week.
I’m not defending him, just saying I don’t blame him.

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."

I miss the late 90's Rangers
that never walked except for Tettleton but would string 10 singles in a row together.

And some free swingers. McLemore comes to mind as a guy who’d take a walk.

30,000 fans were cheering dubya
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."

It worked out good for them.
But they didn’t follow through on their promise to develop the land around the ballpark. And it was corporate welfare, of course, but cities finance sports venues all the time.

Not in SF.
Fantastic ballpark, not a dime of public money. IMO, the Rangers shoulda moved to Dallas ages ago. It is what it is. I’ll always love ’em wherever they play.

That's the only exception that I can think of.
I agree about Dallas but it has been discussed to death and obviously won’t happen for a long time.

It's too bad the residents can't own the team like the folks in Green Bay
Everyone who lives there is a part-owner of the Packers. I’ve always thought that was kind of cool.

Dos Frank.
1 scoreless inning, no hits/walks/k’s. 9 pitches and seven for strike according to the box score.
Boscon on the other hand didn’t do so well.
