did you look
at “The Ranger offense since the All Star Break” on the front page. the numbers show that some players are doing better than we realize. hammy, blalock, vizquel, kinsler and byrd have been horrible yeah.
but apparently young’s OPS since asb 9s 1.245
cruz 1.097
jones .999

5th inning against the Tigers
A: 14-7
Q: What is the Rangers record against the only 3 teams with better records in the American League?
This
is
awesome
wish they could play
the angels tonight. could be a good shot in the arm. win 3 in a row and right in the mix. lose 3 and it is ugly. split still has promise. but alas we get the totally awesome A’s. and the angels get the lowly chi socks.
next series though could be a game changer

5th inning against the Tigers
I am confident
As I am sure the Rangers are, too. The Rangers players know surely how bad they have kicked the ass of the other best teams in the League this year.
And yes, the Rangers can call call the Angels surely.
That's ok
Keeps the game interesting for you if you don’t think the Rangers are going to win. Also, gives you a happier ending when they do win.
Naw
Only since the early 80s, and the Rangers have never been so good against the 3 best teams in the AL as they are this year, in my memory at least.
Look at the record man!!
We have had players in slumps and on the DL all year and still a kick ass record.
2009 Texas Rangers: Why The Hell Not Us?--ghtd36 on May 13, 2009
I am just as concerned about the As
But I am confident the Rangers will do well in the Bay area, too.
Do you want me to lie or tell the truth?
No I’m not afraid of the Angels, A’s, Boston or NY. That is the truth. I have respect for them but I’m not afraid of them.

Arias leading off tonight
from Insidecorner
Washington’s explanation, even though Andrus has 50 more games and 150 more career major league at-bats than Arias: "Experience."
but he goes on to say…
One area where Andrus has been surprisingly mature is in the taking of pitches. He is seeing more pitches per plate appearance (3.68) than 3B Michael Young, 1B Hank Blalock and OF Marlon Byrd. Don’t make any assumptions that its because Andrus is being told to take, either. Washington said Andrus has only been given the "take" sign on 3-and-0 counts.
"He’s aware of the way the game is supposed to be played," Washington said.
Stop thinking so much Ron.
Elvis Andrus - 2009 AL Rookie of the Year

Martin Perez - Nolan Ryan Rangers Minor League Pitcher of the Year
It's this simple
Arias is not a good hitter, therefore, Arias should not hit leadoff.

The batting stance guy...
is quite the phenomenon.
When he was just a YouTube sensation it was a unique novelty that was fun to seek out on one’s own time and leisure. However, now that he is being thrust into our faces as we try to enjoy a baseball game, I’d rather be punched in the face with an icepick than have him interrupt another pitch with his schmaltzy David Ortiz impression.

Shit, Hank starting vs. a left-hander, but
he’s 4-4 with 1 HR vs. Anderson—who’s hot—so it ought to be interesting night.
You don't count Andruw Jones?
Hmm, maybe I shouldn’t either.
But seriously, I am sure Omar has practiced at 1B somepoint this year or in spring training.

after the 1st it doesn't matter
Elvis is as likely to lead off an inning afterwards. I do like the back to back speed guys who just want to get on base.

I understand your point
and I would like to see what EA does in the leadoff spot, but it isn’t the end of the world.
I just hope those two with MY behind can manufacture some runs in that place where flyballs go to die.

5th inning against the Tigers
josh hamilton could learn from youkilis
BOSTON—Showing the discerning eye and patient bat that have become his hallmark, the Red Sox’ Kevin Youkilis pushed a third-inning at bat to a six-and-five count before finally working a walk on Tuesday. “That 5-4 pitch was tough, but in that spot I’m looking for something to drive,” said Youkilis, who was down 0-3 in the count before taking the next five pitches for balls. “My job there is to make the starter work, so I usually just take the first eight pitches or so to give myself an idea of what he’s got to offer. Then I try to foul off another 10 or so to get his pitch count way up. A lot of people say the most important pitch is strike one, but I’ve always found it to be strike seven. Because at that point you’re only three pitches away from strike 10.” Despite the walk, Youkilis was cut down on the base paths trying to steal fourth base.

Something about mid California games
the Rangers’ Bakersfield team has had in the 300-400s several games this year
Whats the context on that though
i have no idea how many people go to the average A ball game.
the preceding post was a great success.
Even the lower Rangers affiliate usually gets 2000
Only time that ever happens in Bakersfield is when they give away 1500 seats
Bakersfield is usually not that great a team
Plus they play in an awful stadium where the batter’s eye faces the sun so the games don’t start until almost 8 p.m. so it’s 11 or so by the time the game ends
And
It’s still 108 degrees when the game starts. AND the seats are literally falling apart. AND it’s Bakersfield

the original trailers really played off the depressing thing, then they revamped the trailers playing up more the comedy side.
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.
The truth of the matter is...
more often than not, funny people are depressing people to be around.

You saw it at a good time...
because you had forgotten all of the commercials for it they aired for two months before it came out with all of the funny parts in it already.

Jeeez, the scene in the doctor's office with that overweight old man?
Don;t be old and fat.
I liked “paging Dr. Faggott, paging Dr. Faggot!!!” and how Bradley Cooper reacted when they were winning at blackjack. All kinds of random shit in the movie.
I was laughing so hard I had tears leaving the movie and that hasn’t happened in a long time.
"Dying ain't hard. It's living that's hard."
"Gardner, What you should do is tip your cap and then move forward with your tail tucked snugly in your gash."
"Ranger players, especially veterans, weren’t surprised that Daniels couldn’t find a deal"
See, I really enjoyed Hangover too...
Thought it was hysterical…
I’m so damn skeptical of Funny People… Maybe it’s Sandler… He sucks lately.
Dustin's pitch count
He has already thrown 75 through four yet has allowed zero runs. If it wasn’t so high I would call for the complete game shoutout. Maybe Nolan will.

I apologize, for this year.
The man was a rock for the majority of his Ranger career. I do not hate the Benny.
Only way he comes back to this team is as a non-roster invite.

IF, and yes that is a big IF
He accepts a non roster invite by the Rangers, I would love for him to find his 2007 self. But I would expect he will try to find that elsewhere.

Hes doing well but I still don't think hes any good.
could still be a useful swing man though, yeah. we will see how it goes the rest of the year.
the preceding post was a great success.
At this point...
if he doesn’t fall apart, he seems like someone who has a place in the bullpen in the role you mentioned. Can come out of the pen and throw 2-3 innings, or make an emergency 5 inning effort when needed. Seems to thrive in those types of situations actually.

“The Oakland Athletics: Once the crown jewel of baseball, when their hotshot general manager broke all the rules and used a NEW method of building a team using stats to evaluate prospects from within their system.
But now the team is in last place, and is the butt of every joke. They’ve traded away their top players and can barely get 5,000 fans to watch a home game. How will they crawl out of this mess before they’re forced to move the franchise???"

Well that was fun.
The most amazing thing, by far, was the delivery. The dude was throwing like it was just absolutely nothing.
So...
…uh…that happened.
At this point, half of LSB is considering going gay for Feliz. And it doesn’t even sound ridiculous.

send the kid down
he obviously isnt ready. those last 2 guys made contact
No hits, 4 K's in 2 IP
and that line is nowhere near as awesome as he actually was.
I remember someone saying Derek Holland made some AA guys question their career choice last year- Neffy just did that to major leaguers.

A real game
I would have to say today because I’ve been waiting forever to see him in the show.
Feliz probably gives me a bigger hard on than my g/f and she’s super hot.

so i missed it
but when nadel said feliz k’d 4 in 2, i had the biggest smile on my face…from san diego down to mexico!
The effect Oday has had on this bullpen
is severly underrated i think. Seeing that he has the 3rd best ERA among all AL relievers is just stunning.

i still hate that stupid lets play the 3rd baseman in the dugout because we have a two run lead logic

Cruz has phenomenal tools but is not a good defender.
