Rangers calling up Neftali Feliz
by Adam J. Morris on Aug 2, 2009 1:50 PM CDT
Email
PrintNeftali Feliz is apparently to be added to the 25 man roster today. I'm guessing Warner Madrigal gets optioned to make room for him.
I'm assuming Frankie Francisco won't be activated until Monday, when Ian Kinsler should be healthy, which would allow them to send Joaquin Arias down to make room for Frankie.
Matt Harrison should be moved to the 60 day d.l. to make room for Feliz on the 40 man roster.

The rangers need to fix their slow gun before he debuts
I want to see 100.
the preceding post was a great success.
Is the
idea behind the slow gun that pitchers dont have to look at the gun, dont pay attention, and focus more on their pitching…

no idea, i just get the feeling that we are too damn poor to get ourselves a new gun

Feliz pays for a new gun(s).

Call the Rangers and complain about them...
getting a special waiver to play games on Sunday nights during the summer months to avoid playing day games in the 100 degree weather that it typically is.
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.
Technically this one though is more on the Rangers and ESPN...
than it is MLB. MLB and ESPN have a contract that ESPN’s Sunday night game of the week is the only that can be televised during that time span and thus all over teams should play afternoon games. Actually all are forbidden from playing Sunday night games. Rangers have a special agreement with ESPN to play games at night on Sundays, but can’t show it nationally, only regionally.

big let down tonight
I don’t think Feliz will get into the game. You know Ron likes to over think things. He will say in his pregame that they don’t plan on using him tonight so that Neftali can get accustomed to the MLs, etc.

Against the Royals though…

hell of a duel they got going
brian bannister has go something this year.
"The House That Ruth Built, 85 years old, goes out as The House That Hamilton Knocked Down"
That guy really intrigues me
As a study on what a guy with below-average stuff can become if he really understands the art of pitching. I read an article about the changes he made coming into this year, basically it hinged around him looking at his numbers and realizing that in order to become a better pitcher, the best route for him to pursue would be to limit his flyballs, thus bringing his HR% down substantially. He started throwing a cutter which somehow batters have a hard time getting under, and his FIP is down .89 points as a result despite his K/bb Ratio being pretty close to identical.
Makes me wonder how many pitching coaches are aware of sabermetrics and actively use the numbers to assist their charges’ development.

13-7 Boston now
Apparently the shutdown inning is a foreign concept to the Orioles… they scored 6 in the last half-inning and now have given up 6 in this half-inning
neither do the twins i guess

i was not expecting this
the preceding post was a great success.
Fear not, for the Might Feliz shall stand astride the diamond
and launch a ferocious aerial assault into the gauntlet of Saltalamacchia
The bats of Abreu and Hunter will flail like ferns in the cyclone
A thousand beer bottles will be emptied in celebration
A thousand popped collars will droop in despair
what the fuck is going on?
the way the Angels offense is playing is making last years Ranger’s offense look like a fucking pop gun… They arent really do a very good job of run prevention, but they seem to have sold their souls to the god of hits
"The House That Ruth Built, 85 years old, goes out as The House That Hamilton Knocked Down"
watch, we'll probably take 8 out of 10 against the Angels the rest of the way, but every other team will just bend over and get
ass raped by them so bad that it may not matter
"The House That Ruth Built, 85 years old, goes out as The House That Hamilton Knocked Down"
This really sucks.
They’ll probably start scoring 20 runs/game once Vlad and Hunter get back.
when Jeff Mathis and GMJ both have a two hits per a game
well, fuck
"The House That Ruth Built, 85 years old, goes out as The House That Hamilton Knocked Down"
this is wrong

S-T says Rangers just activated FrankFrank

"we’re a bunch of knee-jerking yahoos who like new and shiny things." -- FirebatM3 July 10, 2009
he's just in town now to get accustom to things
and will be activated after tonight’s game, giving Kinsler one more day to rest and Arias be sent down, as they go on the road
or he could be in town
in case Nippert returns to form tonight and Ron has to blow up the bullpen. If the pen doesn’t get overworked tonight Feliz may head back to OKC.

Is that official or are you surmising? (Not a jab, just curious)
Ephesians 3:20-21...and I can only imagine
I'm excited
But it’s hard to be happy about anything right now. There is no fucking way the Angels are this good. No team in the history of sports has been this good, I can’t wait till we beat their ass on Friday,
I'm just goofin' new boot goofin'
i hate the angels
but the way they have been playing may have helped us to not trade away our top prospects. the rangers haven’t been playing bad baseball, the angels have just been phenomenal. every player on that team has been hitting over .300 ever since Torii Hunter and Vlad went down. That’s insane.
A baseball game is simply a nervous breakdown divided into nine innings.
They won't keep that up.
No team does. Besides I don’t think they get to play the Twinkies anymore.
I propose a 5-year moratorium on trading any young Ranger pitchers who throw over 90 mph.

Why is Feliz being called up?
Is Neftali hanging around until Tuesday? Or is he hanging around in case Millwood goes on the DL?
Washington also said that once Ian Kinsler said he’s good to go, it will still be another day before he’s in the starting lineup. That didn’t happen today, so the guess is the earliest Kinsler will now play is Tuesday.
