Feldman needs to settle down.
I know that missed call on the pitch in the 2nd probably pissed him off, but still… 65 pitches through 3.

But I think Nolan Ryan winning it may be a joke.

Maybe Teagarden will be better with more PT, but so far he’s been beyond disappointing behind the plate.

OT: Monorail Accident
For anyone that saw it in the news but hasn’t heard what happened (I’m not sure if that part has been reported yet), the front monorail was told to back up and that it had clearance, and it didn’t. Crushed the front of the back monorail, killing the pilot. Several guests were around to see it, as the park had only been closed for about an hour.
That is all. For those who haven’t seen it, scroll past this post.

Ah...
was going to say looking at the pic, it didn’t seem like the monorail crashed into the front one since there wasn’t enough damage on both trains for that, and likely they wouldn’t have still be on the rail in the first place, just from my railroad experience.

Pretty sure what he meant was...
That he thinks if a 2nd baseman drops a ball on the transfer to the throwing hand, that should count as if the player never caught the ball and thus the runner shouldn’t be out at 2nd.
He definitely didn’t phrase it well though.

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."

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.

Wait, when have the Ron Washington Rangers been off to good starts before?
Does Joe Morgan really have a single clue about anything that comes out of his own mouth?

I like how they just showed the graphic showing how far back the Rangers were at this point the last two years.

I still haven’t closed it yet.
Did they do any research before this game? ANY?

What is the most runners a batter has ever left on base in a game?
It sure seems like Hank is trying to break that record today

Scout: He was a first-round pick right? Got a huge bonus?

During the summer it wears on pitchers. Thats why we can’t sign elite pitchers. And the ball flys off of bats in Arlington

You know what is more annoying than the announcers?
Every new comment repeating every single annoying thing they’re saying.
It’s like the dude that comes out of the movie repeating every line from the movie. We’re all watching the same game.

So when is feliz coming up?
We didn’t wait weeks of relieving to bring holland into the pen. I know they are obviously different guys in several ways though.
the preceding post was a great success.

probably when they decide Mathis or Grill cant cut it

I guess they have more of a one inning role planned for him than hollands working 2-3.
