PrintI feel good.
I didn't know that I would now.
I was half-expecting, back on Sunday evening, that today would be #8 in a losing streak.
But four in a row, in impressive and resilient fashion.
Vicente Padilla, Frankie Francisco, and Eddie Guardado all sidelined with the flu, Darren O'Day and C.J. Wilson unavailable after pitching three straight days, and the Rangers allow just 1 run to the BoSox today with Dustin Nippert and Doug Mathis tag-teaming.
remarkable.

And that, people,
Is why you take the shot at making the playoffs. We just swept arguably the best team in baseball.

Ha this is funny
http://myespn.go.com/blogs/sweetspot/0-4-91/Take-the-K-C—Managerial-Quiz-.html
As Joe Sheehan points out, Joakim Soria has pitched just twice since the July 9.
In the last game before the All-Star break, with the Royals losing 5-0 to the Red Sox, Soria pitched the eighth inning. And Tuesday night, he pitched the ninth inning of a game the Royals were losing to the Angels, 10-2.
That’s it. In the Royals’ last nine games, Soria has pitched in two games, both of them already lost when he entered. A few more salient facts:
* The Royals have lost all nine of those games.
* Of the seven losses in which Soria did not pitch, five included eighth-inning bullpen implosions.
* Soria is the best reliever on the staff, by a whole lot.
I want you to think about that for a moment. Here you’ve got a team that has the worst run differential in the league, has now lost nine straight games and routinely gets hammered before that magical three-out save opportunity has a chance to rear its beautiful head.
Do you think, if you were managing that team, that you might get just a little bit creative? See if you could figure out a way to occasionally get your ace fireman into a close game?
If so, then I’m afraid you’ve just failed the Kansas City Managerial Quiz. You’ve failed, which means you are not eligible to join the ranks of an august club whose members include Tony Muser, Buddy Bell, Tony Pena, and the franchise’s newest and bestest intellectual powerhouse, Trey Hillman.
You should wear that rejection like a badge of pride.

I know complaining about Wash’s bullpen management is a favorite pasttime around here, but he has shown the ability to go against the “book” use Frankie or CJ for multi-innings saves. He even uses them regularly with 4 runs leads which is a non-save situation. I likeit when he goes for the win instead of waiting for it to come to him.

I was always kind of thinking 90-92...
but it’s looking more like it may take around 95.
Ron Washington...giving hope everywhere to the kids who eat lead paint chips of being a big league manager when they grow up since 2007.
So let's say the number is 94...
(And that has been the average number needed to at least make the playoffs from ‘98-’08, fwiw.)
That means we have to go 42-27 (.609). Only 30 (43.5%) of our remaining 69 games are at home.
Not looking likely.
We really need Anaheim, Boston, or NYY to really tank.
94 to win the AL West?
Elvis Andrus - 2009 AL Rookie of the Year
Mitch Moreland - 2009 Rangers Minor League POY
To make the playoffs.
The average number of wins needed to make the playoffs (division or WC) from the ALW in ‘98-’08 was 93.6.
Here’s what’s needed given other totals:
93: .594
92: .580
91: .565
90: .551
We are currently a .560 team, on pace for 90-91 wins.
But that is with having played a much greater percentage of our games at home so far.

umpire
I was, of course worried before the game with Nippert starting> But when Lewin said Angel Hernandez was the umpire and favored pitchers that gave me some hope.
I thought Buchholz would be able to take advantgae of the wider zone but he didn’t. I was impressed with how the Ranger hitters were patient and made Buchhols throw alot of pitches.
I was equally impressed with how Nippert and Mathis worked both sides of the plate and took advantage of the liberal zone. Liberal in the sense that it was fair. Hernandez called the edges and even the elusive low strike.

Put Eddie on the dl.
At his age, recovery is MUCH slower, ya know!
Never argue with a fool. Onlookers might not be able to tell you apart.
A few thoughts
1. Boston in July = Rangers in June?
2. I guess now Boston fans know what it’s like to see the offense shit the bed against a crappy pitcher.
3. Few things are as annoying as sweeping a quality team like the Red Sox and yet gaining no ground on the Angels.
Yeah, #3 sucks...
Especially since we drew Greinke while they didn’t.
But one good thing about this sweep is that it puts us in the middle of the wild card race (which was threatening to be escaping as a possibility a few games ago).
Rangers are closer in the Wildcard race than the AL West

we really saved ourselves and got lucky. Considering the Angels were playing the Royals, and we had to play the Red Sox. We could have easily been 5 out right now.

The secret to Maddux's success:

easier than altering his mechanics

AL West
Seems like it is a pretty strong division, contrary to popular opinion.
Somebody else can look up the stats, but LA and Texas have handled the East pretty well it seems, and the third place Seattle Mariners would be tied for the lead in the AL Central.
There's more to the picture than meets the eye.
AL West vs. AL East
59-43.
This is a strong division.
There's more to the picture than meets the eye.
Please don't trade away the farm
to try to make a run this year. The offense is not ready, so adding a pitcher will not impact that. We are not “one piece away from getting over the top”.
You have to be near the top of the mountain before you get over it.
Let “your guys” get the team close, and then look to add that missing piece. A low-cost bat would be fine, but not Halladay or Lee, not now.
No Sosa-for-Baines type deals that kill the future and guarantee nothing for the now.
Never argue with a fool. Onlookers might not be able to tell you apart.
Feliz, Holland and Smoak
are minor league untouchables but everybody else is available.
This team is one solid OBP hitter who throttles leftys away from putting their ball on a post-season green where there are no obvious juggernauts in the AL.
Yes, you make a freaking trade to get better this year and if your minor league system is rated 3 or 4 (or lower) by Baseball America next off-season, you live with the consequences.
You don’t control when the window of opportunity is going to open or close and right now it’s popped back open.
Don’t be afraid to win.
