Rangers can no hit curve ball. Straight ball, they hit it very much. Curve ball, bats are inept.

Well one implosion instead of two and that would be how that series should have gone
oh well, no big deal. take care of the rays!
the preceding post was a great success.
I would see guys like Maybin or FMart or Milledge and wish we had one of those.
Kinda glad we got Borbon instead.
Milledge?

Is that crack on the misspelling of the name (if be)
or the fact that he considers Milledge as an elite prospect?

The latter.
There was a time when Milledge was a pretty good prospect, but he’s turned out to be a massive dissapointment this far, both at the plate and in the field.

Nice game
But it just makes you think what could have been. They should have swept this series.
2009 Texas Rangers: Why The Hell Not Us?--ghtd36 on May 13, 2009
I more thought 3 of 4 was the "should have" and a sweep would've been icing on the cake heading into the series
Although from an after-the-fact perspective, since we had big leads in all four games, then that does move a sweep into “should have” territory.
Byrd's got an .819 ops now
hmm, may have to resist bashing him for a while now.

Yeah, he's not having a bad year or anything

even though he does everything pretty good and plays hard and generally produces

Maybe close to 850 but not 900
Hes not gonna raise his slugging enough to get close to 900

Murphy,
for all the love he gets when he is going good, is only 772. Which makes the 4th OF/platoon OF sound extremely realistic.
I can’t see Murphy ever being particularly productive versus lefties.

I’d imagine the Rangers would love to have him back if the dollars and time worked out ~ but Byrd’s probably positioned himself for a contract Texas can’t afford, even in this economy.

But honestly, how can you offer a pitcher who has been hurt all season a contract? And more importantly, what other team is dying to steal him away with a higher dollar contract?

I could see Borbon going down now for him
with 2 of the next 3 being against lefties… if he’s ready.
He would have to stay for 10 games, correct?

its been killing us really
someone posted something a couple weeks ago about how bad MY was to his left and right at 3Bs normal position according to UZR. He’s been letting way too many balls by him on his left, his positioning is really, really bad in terms of that.
I can almost guarantee you someone in the FO or someone who’s doing numbers analysis brought this to MYs attention through Ron or someone else, its been pretty blatantly bad. I hope this helps MY out and lowers that negative UZR some, cuz i dont think MY is that bad of a 3B, his position and footwork just needs a little work

new severe storm watch 725 has been issued for generally the same

This is a boring thread.
Lets see if I can spice it up…
So Blalock was the definition of anti-clutch tonight. Three fairly worthless hits. No RBIs. And he scored the 10th run of a game that the Rangers won 11-1. This follows his anti-clutchness of the last two games where he also had no runs or RBIs in when the Rangers really needed them. Who’s Carrying This Thing? Borbon! The Rangers are 7-4 since that Glorious Day (first game he appeared in after being recalled from OKC).

In 2004 he had one game with a game score of 73 and another game with a game score of -1.

Is it your position that he is bad for team chemistry? After all we were 2-0 with k-rich and his fly honey with the team. Maybe we need to make a positive change with our backup catcher to save This Thing.

You really are the only person
who seems to realize that the war in june, as you like to put it, was really a loss for both sides. Davis failed as a MLB 1b this year, and Blalock has failed as a MLB 1b for pretty much the rest of the year, outside of a nice 10 day stretch.
We don’t have a competent offensive 1b right now. We have a choice of rejects. I just would rather see the other reject now because I think we know exactly what we have in Hank now, hes basically been the same thing, outside of September last year for a good long while now.
What do voluntary mean?

I hope he does well
But hes had about 3 good weeks all year.
I wonder if moving him out of a run producing area of the lineup was all it took to get him to actually doing something useful.
Right now I think the lineup I’d like to see is
Borbon
Young
Hamilton
Cruz
Kinsler
Murphy/Byrd

We won’t know if Davis has until he’s back, and even if he hasn’t, you get better defense and you haven’t lost anything.

Just walked in from the game.
Great victory, good night by most. Kinsler is dropping that back shoulder again before he starts his swing, that concerns me. Blalock was quite good at the plate and MY at the field. Julio Borbon is the best hitter in the MLB, right now. Wash pulled Holland perhaps a little too early but that is quite okay after last 2 nights, better safe than sorry. Neftali is good and doesn;t feel he has to strike everybody out. Boston won again, so that was worst part of night. Eyre got through an inning but they hit the ball well off of him. Byrd was player of the game. Good night to all.

Blalock’s day-cation now must wait at least until Saturday after his three singles. Said Washington: "There’s no way I could take him out of the lineup now."
…but he could take Borbon out of the lineup after going 6-8 with 4 steals in two games.
