A Murph/Byrd/Blalock oreder continues to make me chuckle...

Its better
to sacrifice 3 innings a night, than 6.

i really dont like this lineup
it’s a waste to have borbon up here if he’s not gonna play
let blalock play 1st and byrd or murphy dh. i wanna see this guy in the field

I think there is going to be a big hole on the right side of the infield
But no one is going to get one through the left side.

Bringing Borbon up doesn't make any sense.
As long as Wash is manager and Byrd is on the roster, Julio isn’t going to see much time. Washington seems pretty comfortable with Murphy/Byrd/Cruz out there defensively. Swapping Boggs for Borbon doesn’t make any sense. Julio needs to be getting at bats somewhere, not riding the pine in Arlington.
Agreed - obviously sending a message
but we need not to hinder developement of supposed CF for forseeable future
Borbon wasn't a replacement for Boggs
Hunter replaced Boggs because they needed a starter.

go team go
rangers gonna win this!!!!
even with murph and byrd batting 3/4
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 usually..
say murph and byrd at 3/4 was a bad thing…but they’re hitting like 3 and 4 hitters at the moment.
Hope I can say the same after tonight.
I feel good about this game...
predicting Weaver’s arm melts off by 3rd inning!

Julio Borbon Not In Lineup Today, Probably Not Friday; Don’t Even Ask About The Weekend, per Evan Grant over at Inside Corner.

Young players
have to be a helluva lot more special than Borbon has been in AAA to be put right into a lineup, unless its an injury situation.

I tend to agree.
Which, again, makes me wonder why the Rangers brought him up.
(I’m not buying that his promotion is responsible for Byrd’s recent performance, or whatever the theory is.)
Your 2009 Texas Rangers: Can't take a fucking to save their lives.
Because
Boggs 10 days wasn’t up.

Sadly, I think that might be the truth of the matter.
Your 2009 Texas Rangers: Can't take a fucking to save their lives.
then why not recall golson?
go here to view my blog: http://dirtfromd.blogspot.com
What makes him a better choice than Borbon
Wash wanted another bench player, preferably an outfielder. Boggs, Borbon and Golson are the only ones on the 40 and Boggs hadn’t been down 10 days. Regardless of whether its Golson or Borbon, that guy is not going to get many ABs. He’s a bench player. This a little reward to Borbon for playing well this season. He’ll be gone when Hamilton comes back. Don’t for and instant think that Borbon is going to be pissed that he doesn’t play much (at all). He’s going to be thrilled with his first MLB callup. Its not like his development is going to be derailed by sitting on the bench for a few days.
by NorCalRangersFan on Jul 1, 2009 6:30 PM CDT up reply actions
No, his development won't be derailed.
But I also don’t know that Borbon’s going to be “thrilled” with the way he was used. Not a big deal, but I still don’t see any reason why the Rangers should’ve called Borbon up. (And he wasn’t playing out of his mind at AAA…)
Your 2009 Texas Rangers: Can't take a fucking to save their lives.
Are you kidding?
“Hey, kid. We need someone to go up the bigs and be a 4th/5th OF, defensive/speed replacement guy for a few weeks. You want the job or you wanna keep hanging out here in OKC and we’ll send Golson up?”
You think there’s any possible way he answers that question with anything but a big old fucking smile and a fistpump?

well if you're going to call up somebody
who’s not going to get much playing time why not call up somebody who’s not expecting much PT
he’s a lesser prospect then borbon, borbon’s on a hot streak why derail that by letting him go a week with playing like 2 games

They need to make it 3G instead of wifi, though. Or both. The only reason I don’t have an iPhone or something like it is because everything’s so damn small on them. I’m sure I’m not the only one who thinks like that. I wouldn’t care if my phone were that large IF it did all that other stuff, too. Could be very useful.

It's okay in the sense that it doesn't really affect the outcome of the season
It’s not okay because decisions like this usually have reasons, and a reasoning process behind them, and the decisions themselves allows us outside the fold to take stabs at the rationale. Poor rationale, if left unchecked, can lead to decisions that have much deeper and broader impact in the future.
lets face it
JD isnt an idiot
if borbon was called up — there was a reason, right?
if the reason was to pull a guy who was being very successful at the AAA level, swinging a hot bat and playing well up to the major league level to inject some “energy” into the order…why is he sitting
if hes just going down in a few days, why was he DHing and hitting 6th at all?
if hes going to sit the bench for another week…wouldnt he have been better served by getting another week of ABs at AAA (vs golson)?
if hes up for good, why does he sit and probably continue to sit?
thats my question at this point — WHAT is the reason?

were not on the same page. At least a 40 man spot didn’t need to be cleared for him

I really doubt that.
Wash works for Juan de los Donuts.
If JD says “This guy’s coming up to play… play him”, then the dude gets played.
My guess is they needed a backup CF’er for Byrd with Boggs down and not yet eligible to come up, and since they wouldn’t need to clear a 40 spot for Bourbon, he got the call.

Ever watch Greenspan answer questions?
The former Fed chairman, speaking before some group or answering questions (especially before Congress). Said a lot of things, most of which sounded pretty intelligent at the time, but at the end you were left wondering what exactly it was that he said? Wash is kind of like that, except for the “sounded pretty intelligent” part (no slight meant to his actual intelligence, he is just not as well-spoken).

Because it's not his job to keep you perfectly informed of the inner workings of the clubs playing time plans.
In fact, keeping things like that ambiguous prolly behooves us as a team.
If the other team doesn’t know who we’re playing, they have to prepare for the unexpected, which is tougher.
My guess is that they didn’t call up the Bor-Beast and tell him he was gonna be an everyday player up here and then just not do it.
I’d bet they were pretty darn honest with him and that he was 100% fine with it cause it’s the freakin big leagues.

Don't get all worked up.
It Duran we’re talking about after all. He’s never going to stick as a major leaguer. I don’t even know if I’d consider him a AAAA guy. Stuff like this happens. We’ll lose better players like this in the future as our young prospects start getting service time.

im so sick of grabbing onto a 2 game stretch and hoping it means something. must send him down. soon.

I was tired of him 1 month ago.
Right now Davis is pure fucking torture.

Like I've been saying, I think it's more a matter of letting Hamilton DH full time at this point
When he comes back, he’ll push Davis off the roster, Blalock to first, and hopefully Jones to tumbuk two.
We’ll take a defensive hit, but it’s hit we’re just gonna have to live with if we hope to improve this offense.

I don't think you can say he sucks

The Jonas Brothers
Are probably one of the most popular people in the world. They obviously can’t suck either. Just because you think someone sucks doesn’t mean they do.
I'm just goofin' new boot goofin'
But Blalock has stats that confirms he sucks.
The jonas brother have record sales that confirm they don’t.

well I don't really care if you believe me but I told you I have proof and even what kind of proof

You're assuming several things here that are wrong:
People’s choices do not reveal absolute preferences:
For example, a Michael Bay movie may be better than doing nothing at all. Does it mean that Michael Bay movies are fantastic? No. It means they are better than whatever else that person happened to be doing.
People make choices with perfect information:
For example, 54% of the people that voted for the President this election voted for Barack Obama. Do you really think all 54% knew exactly what they were getting? Doubtful. He can still suck even though he is popular, because people didn’t know what the alternatives were or why they were making a choice.
