" This is the inning that propels us to the playoffs. Mark it down."
- Rohn Warshington on Jul 27, 2009 9:19 PM EDT
5th inning against the Tigers
Unbelievable.
What a terribly-managed inning.
Gracchus (about Obama): I think he knows what America is. America is the mob. Conjure money for them and they'll be distracted. Take away their freedom and still they'll roar. The beating heart of America is not the paper of the Constitution, it's the power of the media. He'll bring them debt - and they will love him for it.
Yawn.
If Jones hits a 2-run double there Washington would not have gotten one bit of credit for it from you and the ni Washington haters anyway.
The Rangers are 67-0 this year. Washington is 0-51.
Gotta love how that works.
God bless the intertubes…
Hope those two letters
just bought you a ban, racist.

As the one defending Washington from a place that universally hates the likely AL MotY…
Hilarious.

yes, SO FUCKING HILARIOUS that you choose to bring up the “n” word in your comment. Way to “defend” him like that where no one else has even come CLOSE to going towards the race card, you backwards fool.

You’re racist… You didn’t know that’s how it works in this country?
But...
I have black friends I’d defend to their graves… So that can’t be it.
I questioned Wash...
And it seemed like you pretty well threw a blanket on that, so…
you called everyone here who doesn't like Wash a racist....

And there is no way in the fonking world Showalter was taking the same shit from this crew (wherever it was) in August/Sept of 2004.

Borbon had a .686 ops vs lefties in AAA
I wouldn’t have minded letting him hit but I don’t think its a big deal. Though I suppose he at lesat didn’t have much of a chance of hitting into a double play.
the preceding post was a great success.
yes. at least MY comes up with a RISP.
not to mention Borbon has been on fire. I stay with the hot hand.
He hits Murph against LHP even though he sucks against them.

Under and Over-managing in the same inning.
I generally like Wash. Think he should be manager of the year, even. But…
This is one of the few things I'll defend Wash on
Is when he makes the correct call. Borbon has a .675 career minor league OPS against lefties, and a 658 this year in the minors. He’s only had one PA against a lefty so far in the majors. Wash made the fundamentally correct call, it just didn’t work.

borbon is red hot, like I said above
When a guy is on like that you don’t lift him for Jones.
by Black Francis on Aug 19, 2009 9:46 PM CDT up reply actions
yeah I agree
and plus you take your chances, and since Borbon doesn’t really hit the ball hard, you trust he won’t hit a smash right at an infielder for a DP.
Red hot or no, he's had one MLB PA against a lefty and hasn't done well against them in the minors.
Wash made the right call there.

In the ninth, I might agree with you, because Borbon wouldn't get any other PAs.
Not in the sixth. Now you’ve taken the catalyst of this offense the last week or so out of the lineup.

I really don't know how else to put it.
I mean it’s the sixth inning, you have a red hot player at the plate, and you pinch hit for him with Andruw Jones? Based on a lefty-righty matchup that even in AAA wasn’t all that terrible?

i can't believe this team.
Can’t fucking believe it. They get in a fucking playoff race for the first time in forever, and they’re going to go out like this? At least act like you fucking want it.

I challenge you to go back and find where I have said this season is over.
I’ll wait.

But lots of people were on the ledge after that first game against BOS. Thought you were one of them. Apologies if not true.

See, I'm with you on this...
But if they don’t start beating mediocre teams like Minnesota and Oakland, they aren’t getting in.
Of course. But there's plenty of baseball left.
1 game out isn’t the end of the world or season over.
Not at all...
But it is HIGHLY frustrating we’re sitting 11 games over against the Angels and Red Sox, and can’t put away teams like Kansas City, Oakland, and Minnesota…
We've officially reverted back to the 2008 Ranger team the second we got just the teensiest bit of attention.
Well, we had the scrubs of our bullpen out there last night.
Tonight Wash left Millwood in too long. I’m not overly concerned, about our ability to hold leads just yet.

Rangers can no hit curve ball. Straight ball, they hit it very much. Curve ball, bats are inept.
Davis
2 for 4 with a walk tonight.
Benson and Rupe went a combined 6 innings, allowed 12 runs.
Remember when the organization thought we’d be better off with Benson in the rotation than with Feldman?

Remember when we thought Rupe might be a decent prospect?

The beating heart of America is not the paper of the Constitution, it's the power of the media. He'll bring them debt - and they will love him for it.
Remember when Blalock was a decent prospect?

Blalock was better than decent.
People were throwing superlative after superlative at him back in the day. Was thought of as possibly better than Tex.

He was the next George Brett.
Seriously and it wasn’t just Ranger homers that thought that either.

remember when feldman had completely awful peripheral stats (and era..) and sucked in ST so we let Benson get a shot
and then he sucked so we immediately got rid of him?
the preceding post was a great success.
Sure.
And they were wrong. Just as they were proven wrong about thinking Davis was ready to be an MLB 1st baseman this year.

Both.
You have to have greasemonkey for FF though. I’ll get the link to ab03’s fanpost after the game and post it in the postgame thread, I just can’t search for it while running both MLB.tv and the GDT right now.

whoa, whoa, whoa
tap the breaks on that little piece of revisionist history. he was going to shatter the K record if we didn’t get him out of here. people were ready to burn down the BPiA they were so sick of Davis.

Do you remember when our manager pinch hit for a lead-off hitter batting .500
with a guy coming off the bench batting 200 and less than at pinch hitting.
