Yeah Cruz has sucked recently but the move only makes sense if the oher guy is hot. Byrd has a .576 june ops.
the preceding post was a great success.
If you would have told me Byrd...
would bat cleanup once this year at the beginning of the season, I would have instantly got Firefox to put you on ignore.

I'm not watching another game
…until I feel like it. Which may be later tonight. I was going to say I wasn’t going to watch another game until they either won or scored six runs in one game, which would hopefully be in the same game.
This will be the game that turns things around for this offense.
By 2028, Mark Teixeira will be in the HOF.

Marlon Byrd gets his turn in the cleanup spot tonight as manager Ron Washington tries to take the pressure off Nelson Cruz. Washington said Cruz is swinging for the fences a little too much while Byrd has been the Rangers’ best hitter with two outs and runners in scoring position.
has byrd really been their best hitter with two outs and runners in scoring position?
I think that’s like the opposite.
I'm just goofin' new boot goofin'
Why?
He’s been extremely good so far this season in that situation. 980 OPS
by Adam J. Morris on Jun 23, 2009 8:20 PM CDT up reply actions
out of all the hitters we have
it’s sad that he’s the best out of them.
I'm just goofin' new boot goofin'
But he has a 980 OPS in those situations
It would be one thing if he was the best with a crappy performance.
But he’s been great in those situations.

Dont know if its true or not but heres his numbers
RISP
.333/.345/.471
2 Out
.333/.389/.439
If I were to guess I would think those would be right near the top for this team
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.

Just checking them against Cruz
They are two different hitters. OPS wise Cruz is better with RISP but Byrd has a much better average which probably evens things out. With 2 out they are very similar OPS wise but Byrd has about a 120 point edge in batting average.

Theres a homerun derby baseball game called baseball slugger that came out in the last week or so and is really good. Not simple standard HR derby but with point bonuses for hitting it to certain areas/distance and special stuff plus a full assortment of pitches thrown. Good 3d graphics.
Also has unlockable customization stuff and an online vs mode where you see the other guy in a little PIP window. Very fun, if anyone has it/buys it and wants to play a vs match let me know.

btw, my fiancee cracked me up the other night while we were watching the game
her: “Do you have to hit?”
me: “what do you mean”
her: “like, can you just play on the field and not hit?”
me: “pitchers can, but only in the AL”
her: “Oh. I was hoping they could keep that Davis guy from hitting. He plays good in the field but I don’t like watching him bat.”

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'm so glad...
MLB decides that Salt Lake is in the same area as Phoenix so they blackout out both the D’Backs and Rangers feeds even though I’m paying $160 a year to watch the games. I’m closer to the Bay than Phoenix for crying out loud.
Fuck MLB’s blackout policy. Looks like I’m taking this series off. Maybe for the better anyway.

Can I take this series off too?
I really wish I wasn’t so obsessed.

this is bull shit
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."
which part?

One of my biggest pet peeves
is when a pitcher walks the leadoff batter after his team scores the previous half inning.
WOOO DP!
Get on base or die, Salty.

The only thing about the Crush catch
is that Wash will cite that as another reason to keep him in the line-up for two more weeks.

no need to worry about the

At least we're getting hits here and there tonight
That’s an improvement over San Fran. If we could just string a few of them together now…

Dan Majerle
my old lady boss had a huge crush on him when I lived in Miami.
One day I’m playing golf with a buddy at Doral and they pair us up with Majerle and one of his buddies.
I called my lady boss and had Dan talk to her … she locked up and couldn’t speak.
great guy and great golfer.
Salty and Davis with hits?
In the same inning?
For real?
Yes!!
Schrezer (sp) is the worst pitcher ever now!! haha
Holy shit
Salty and Davis BOTH with hits? IN THE SAME INNING?
Get on base or die, Salty.

if there was a market for a bench bat that strictly came in to sac bunt
I could have a major league career because apparently these dipshits don’t understand how to do it.
harrison
just put the damn bat on the ball ahole
harrison doing that so he can swing
"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)
what the hell?
just let him swing
"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 used to do that in high school baseball.
so I wouldn’t have to bunt. Would purposely miss bunts to get two strikes. Especially against pitchers that I could hit well.
Bet your team wasn't very good.

years and still sucks.

"Harrison not really committed to the bunt."
That made me laugh. Thanks, Josh.

you are talking about having the pitcher swing away
it isn’t a big deal
"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)
"wasting an out"
sounds like he wanted a strategy change.
"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)
and again
he’s talking about an AL pitcher trying to bunt. there’s not much you can do about it. i think the walk gave people a false sense of hope
"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)
NL = Shitty

Are you asking why the rangers swung at something?
Why don’t you further ask why the grass and green and why the sun rises in the east every day?
