Wash feels like he has to get him playing time, when in all actuality Murphy should just be a bench guy behind Borbon.

Murphy isn't exactly a star against lefties either.

Borbon has shown he can go to all fields so far with his bat. I’d even rather watch him slap at one or drop down a bunt and take off. He’s the closest thing we have to a hot, consistent leadoff hitter on the team right now. Kinsler is not getting it done.

This passion tends to elevate the humble to the rank of the great; but there exists also in the human heart a depraved taste for equality, which impels the weak to attempt to lower the powerful to their own level, and reduces men to prefer equality in slavery to inequality with freedom.

I tend to believe...

…that Washington thinks that Borbon is most likely to continue his hot streak if he’s put in situations that maximize his potential to do well.

If we were 20 games out, Borbon would probably be playing.

by LoneStarHoosier on Aug 26, 2009 5:56 PM CDT up reply actions  

The worst criticism I have a Ron Washington is he's often TOO loyal to his players.

Starting Murphy tonight is just the latest example of his good intentions clouding his judgment. Sticking with Davis for too long when he was struggling in the first part of the year. Then sticking with Hank for about 3 weeks too long when he was just awful. Sticking with Jones too long. Giving Frankie the closer job when he came back from injury, although CJ’s been flat-out better.

Generally, as the posters have already pointed out, Wash goes with his gut and it’s usually right. In this case, I think he’s going with his conscience, and that’s not the right decision when you’re trying to win games.

by oc on Aug 26, 2009 6:09 PM CDT up reply actions  

Not really

You can have stones that are so small they don’t cause pain, but usually there’s a precipitating event that will cause them. They can be made of calcium, uric acid, magnesium, phosphate, etc. The end problem is that when these salts reach a certain concentration, they come out of solution and crystalize. This is why drinking water helps, increases blood volume, which increases filtration by kidneys, which dilutes the urine.

The increase in those ions can also cause it. Still, not everyone will have one. They tell us that they hurt worse than giving birth and it’s not uncommon for people to vomit from the discomfort.

There is, in fact, a manly and lawful passion for equality which excites men to wish all to be powerful and honored. This passion tends to elevate the humble to the rank of the great; but there exists also in the human heart a depraved taste for equality, which impels the weak to attempt to lower the powerful to their own level, and reduces men to prefer equality in slavery to inequality with freedom.

Teixeira is top 10 in walks in the AL right now, and his 97 walks in 2008 would have been top 5 in the AL. Just imagine what a great player Tex would be if he actually took an occasional walk!

Could actually be a very short game.

"We have a better chance to win with other guys in the lineup," said Blalock, who is hitting .190 the past 30 games. "That’s something I’ve got to deal with."

ESPN2 announcer

Just talked about how Michael Young moved to shortstop for Alfonso Soriano, then back to 2nd base to accommodate Alex Rodriguez, and then moved to 3rd base for Andrus.

Same problem a lot of people face.

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.

Really?

I must’ve missed that. I’ve kinda tuned these announcers out. They’re terrible.

Hank is 7 runs below a zombie replacement at first base. Do you realize how terrible that is? Zombie’s can’t think, they’re slow, and they’re often ejected from the game for eating opposing baserunners’ brains. - Ben quantifies Hank Blalock

Okay so I know it’s Texas and everything, but what really happened should be common baseball knowledge anyway considering how the media has always clung to Rodriguez’ and Soriano’s nuts.

Ian Kinsler OR Elvis Andrus

You have to get rid of one tonight and the other keep for the rest of their career.

Who do you wanna keep??

I think it may be just an off year

There’s the chance that he’s the second base version of HFB, but I doubt that.

Nice play, Andrus!

Even if this is the 2008 or early 2009 Kinsler we're talking about.

I think it wouldn’t be an obvious decision. I hope he comes back strong next year (or at the end of this year), but it’s tough. And I have a man crush on the guy.

Teagarden probably shat himself thinking he was going to get run over.

But it was Arod, so there was no chance of that happening.
