Sunday morning Rangers stuff

Print4 games back of the Angels, 2 1/2 back of Boston in the Wild Card race.
Jeff Wilson writes about Neftali Feliz's improved curveball, which he used to strike out Mike Cuddyer to extinguish the Twins' sixth inning threat last night.
In the game day thread comments last night, I mentioned that one of the things that is interesting to me about this team is that the Rangers are selectively aggressive on the basepaths, depending on matchups...against certain batteries, they don't run, but against certain batteries -- such as with Carl Pavano on the mound last night -- they run at every opportunity. Evan Grant points out that this selective aggressiveness has the Rangers on pace to have the best stolen base percentage of any A.L. team in history with at least 150 steal attempts.
Pedro Strop impressed in his major league debut on Friday.
Wilson's notes include some comments from the Rangers about the Angels adding Scott Kazmir, and the news that Brandon McCarthy will be starting one of the games for Tuesday's doubleheader.
I'm guessing that McCarthy will replace Dustin Nippert, who has shown some flashes but also had some issues throwing strikes, in the rotation. McCarthy's history with the Rangers is that he's been effective when he's been healthy, but he's just not stayed healthy...my guess is that, for the final month, the Rangers will roll with him in the rotation as long as his body holds up.
A story over at Fanhouse about expanding rosters in September includes some quotes from Jon Daniels and Michael Young about adding guys on September 1.
Kirk Bohls of the Austin American-Statesman thinks Round Rock could become a Ranger affiliate after next season, and thinks that would be a good thing for Austin baseball fans.

We've had the same record as the Washington Nationals
in August yet have lost only one game to Boston & LAAA.
Second best record in AL this month belongs to Cleveland (15-11) and that was supposed to be one of the easier teams we played in August. All in all, a pretty good month but need to finish.
Toronto is 9-15 this month and heads to Texas tonight for a 4 game series.

If somebody would have said that the Rangers had the same
record as the Washington Nationals in August yet lost only one game in the standings to LAAA & Boston, would you believe it?
Put your Newberg rabbit ears down, I wasn’t slamming the Rangers at all- just making an observation.
"Dying ain't hard. It's living that's hard."
"Ranger players, especially veterans, weren’t surprised that Daniels couldn’t find a deal"
In August
the Rangers have had 18 road games & 9 home games.
17 of those games have been against the best teams in the AL or those that were playing their best ball in August. Seattle (who is 15-12), Cleveland (15-11), Tampa, LAA, Boston and MF Yankees.
A very good month so far but need to finish.
"Dying ain't hard. It's living that's hard."
"Ranger players, especially veterans, weren’t surprised that Daniels couldn’t find a deal"
That's my point.
We hit a very tough part of the schedule and have survived.
"Dying ain't hard. It's living that's hard."
"Ranger players, especially veterans, weren’t surprised that Daniels couldn’t find a deal"
I know
but I said it in one sentence instead of the circumlocutionary horse shit you just spewed all over this thread.
Yeah
kinda funny how I was praising the team in full sincerity yet a lot of people in here decide it’s a good time to wear the rabbit ears of paranoia.

Have to say
being on the road during the month of August may not be so bad. Have you noticed how hot it’s been outside lately? I think in the long run it might help keep the team from running out of gas in September…
I don't know if we'll see a huge gain
going from Nippert to McCarthy, but I do like adding Nippert to the bullpen where he can definitely be effective for a few innings.
By 2028, Mark Teixeira will be in the HOF.

were the MF Yankees (19-7).

BP's playoff odds report....
…has the Rangers three times more likely to win the A.L. West than to win the Wild Card.
They have both Boston and Anaheim expected to win 93 games. I suspect that their model shows that if the Rangers win enough to win 93 games, they’ll have to beat Anaheim a time or more than would be expected, meaning that the Rangers would probably win the West rather than the Wild Card.
Saw that too
Didn’t expect it to be that much greater odds to win the AL West either. Still, Boston has Halladay today then a 3 game series in TB followed by a 4 game series in Chicago. If we’re going to pass them, we need to do it now.
Expect them to win 3 of 4
in Chicago. The White Sox have thrown in the towel.

I like how
in that Fanhouse article they quote Ozzie Guillen:
“What do I expect? I don’t know because I don’t know him … That’s a big trade for us. That’s a former Cy Young Award winner, making a lot of cake, making a lot of money. You make more than $2 million, you should be out there for nine innings.”
Would pay to listen to a conversation
between Ozzie Guillen and Lenny Dykstra, simply to see if they’d try to out-douche other using crappy slang for ‘money’.
Look at the comments under Jeff Wilson's blog post on dallasnews.com. What a bunch of rocket scientists.- Keith Law
So $2 million is the cutoff for when a pitcher is expected to throw a compete game?
I love it.
I would hate to have Ozzie managing the Rangers, but I like having him elsewhere in the league. His psychopathic rants are entertaining.

I can see how we are more likely to win the West, but maybe by not that much
i like our chances down the stretch playing that many games against the Angels
"The House That Ruth Built, 85 years old, goes out as The House That Hamilton Knocked Down"
Not sure how long ago I said it
(probably when ajm was brandishing The Fork in late July) but I’ve said the team shouldn’t worry about how many games behind they are and instead, set a goal of 94 wins.
That’ll get ’em to the playoffs.

Round Rock is now AAA
I think Corpus Christi is their AA team.

"Ranger players, especially veterans, weren’t surprised that Daniels couldn’t find a deal"
Still kinda odd cuz OKC has been a good affiliate for us
they have a nice park too. I guess Nolan owns the Round Rock team, so if he takes part ownership of the Rangers it would make sense.

Does Nolan
still own any minor league teams? For some reason I thought there was a conflict of interest in being the President of one major league team, and the owner of minor league teams that are affiliates of another major league team.
Nolan still owns the Express and Hooks
No conflict, because he’s got no say over the minor-league teams’ on-field talent. Affiliations are just business deals.
"It's not a good strategy, but it's my strategy." -- Courtney Lucas
Yeah.
Just read the article…lots of speculation and conditions (if the astros don’t get better talent, if nolan buys the rangers, etc etc). It wouldn’t surprise me if this is just a negotiating ploy by Round Rock to get the Astros to pay attention to their minor leagues more.

The Angels have to be discouraged
The Angels played out of their minds for what 2 1/2 months and yet the Rangers are still right there. With everything the Angels did to the rest of the league they haven’t been able to pull away from the Rangers.
I think this helped them pull the trigger on the Kazmir trade yesterday. I also believe they are looking in the mirror and they see us not going away knowing they have 7 more games left against us. Now that they are coming back to the pack I expect the Rangers to be with in 2-3 games of them when the last two weeks of the season roll around.

Milly's ERA in August is 5.09
Granted it was against @LAA, BOS, MIN, @NYY. He’s gotta be better than that today if we want to take this series…and we need to take it.
Millwood is also 0-7 with a 6.18 ERA v the Twins in his career.

Is Millwood pitching for his contract 19 more innings? If he doesn’t start looking better is there any chance they don’t let him get 19 more?

Here's an interesting question.
Say we make the playoffs and get home field advantage for the Division Games.
Do we push Fledman to start Game 3 since he is such a stud away? Do you think that would sit ok with him? Would Wash think about doing that?
Give me team chemistry and emotion over stats any day. Do you think 34,000 Ranger fans were screaming their asses off over Pudge and his .275 OBP?
Doubtful
I don’t think Feldman would care at all, but I think Wash would want his best guys out there as soon as possible which means Feldman pitches before Game 3.

Is it almost game time already? Hope we bust out for four runs vs. Baker
Sure would like us to finish over .500 on this trip. Who’s ready today in the pen? O’Day’s good. Grilli, possible, although Wash may hold him back to rest his arm. Maybe we’ll see Strop again for an inning. And Mathis—I guess he’s still here—or is he? Hell, Milly, just pitch a complete game.
Wash -- don't know when they moved him to the new arm slot
but, did anybody catch if he threw a strike?
Is Old School Brutha a strike thrower?
Hank is the elephant in the room. When will he disappear?
