Sucks that it doesn't sound like Cruz will be starting anytime vs the angels

Feldman vs Saunders.. solid.
Millwood vs Weaver.. with weaver a little off lately

So not bad to start, but then Holland vs Lackey, I have very very little hope for that game.

the preceding post was a great success.

Well

I think an objective viewer would have to say the angels will be favored to take 2 of 3.

If they sweep it does pretty much kill the playoffs. If we take 2/3 its another feel good series vs the angels and keeping things within striking distance. I think a sweep on the road is too unlikely to even discuss =p

I would find it slightly strange that a guy who’s been the solid defensive catcher most of the year got benched in the middle of a game, but his throws back to the mound do need to improve.

He deposited a threw wide to the 3rd base side that bounced into center allowing a run.

Thats after the throw he made to Holland Tuesday night that Holland had ot jump for, and came down on the downhill 3b side of the mound. When I saw that, all i could think was Dutch lsanding weird and turning a knee or an ankle.

Well, from EG's depot in-game blog
3:03: Salty started to head out to the plate to warm up Hunter, but then was called back. He then went up the ramp towards the clubhouse. So, at this point, I’m not sure if its injury/illness or if the Rangers pulled him out because of the throwing issue.

As pointed out, Ron usually isn’t one to bench people, but who knows. The fact that Salty went back to the clubhouse instead of to the bench with his teammates would suggest to me that he really was hurt though. If Ron had pulled him, I would imagine he’d have him in the dugout explaining it to him rather than letting him just head to the showers.

I watched on FSSW

A good minute of fill time was given to Wash and Salty talking on the bench. Wash looked supportive more than intense, and Salty was head nodding and demonstrating two different arm angles – straight overhand and low 3/4 – then shaking his head in apparent response to Wash asking another question. Salty may have been pulled instinctively, and still had his gear on, but it didn’t look like a lecture in the dugout.

Then perhaps I am wrong.

But benched, or sat for an injury, the result is the same. But in thinking about it, RW should have been on top of it long before it got to today’s throw. Salty has had problems getting the ball back to the mound for at least the last week.

this is pretty ridiculous

dude’s hurt, and apparently has a deadarm, pretty much coinciding with when the throws became a problem. He’s still a much better catcher right now than Taylor, mainly on the pure awfulness of Teagarden this year. Saltalamacchia’s poor throws this year has cost us two total bases, or the equivalent of two of the four passed balls that Teagarden has, including a pretty big one last night.

Saltalamacchia needs to play better, but that’s more about his lack of offensive production than it is about throws back to the pitcher. Posts like these are dumb.

I know this is not todays game but..

Originally all I had seen was the Rangers feed which just showed(or atleast all I saw) him briefly smiling..seeing the A’s feed really ticks me off though..

Playing around with the ump and laughing towards Holland.. least he didn’t find it funny at all.

Padilla is an asshole.

J.P. can take Roy Halladay and shove him up his ass. I’ll take Derek Holland. - AJM

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

A rich asshole

that needs to go pitch in the NL. It would be funny if he does and the Rangers play whichever team he goes to in interleague play. Preferably in thier ballpark.

Drilling a guy for the sole reason

of being pissed that someone teed off on him is what makes him an asshole. Him thinking its funny after one of our guys gets hit with a retaliatory pitch is the cherry on top.

I think that's

A pretty silly reason to call him an asshole.

maybe he heard

or thought of a funny joke?

well we do face them in late August

maybe they just feel like embarrassing us by having him shut out the Rangers again.

Well,Pedroia got plunked,intentionally. And talked shit. Lol

If you want it to stop,don’t puss away from it. Do something about it,bitch.

by TooLegitToQuit on Aug 6, 2009 9:52 PM CDT via mobile reply actions  

Pedroia trying to charge just about any pitcher would be hilarious

that dude might be able to beat up the little lefty we sent along with Volquez to Cinci, maybe.

VMart is 10-24 with 3 bb's and Bosox are scoring more runs now.

Did you want him to pitch as well?

Thank you for connecting those dots for me.

All I know is V-Mart isn’t the cure all answer in Boston and he certainly wouldn’t be with the Rangers either. I don’t care if he goes 23-24 with 12 walks. Now, don’t go saying “Look at Salty now being hurt, he could have filled in great for us.” Hindsight does not count, no matter how good it fits.

by AceJC on Aug 6, 2009 10:37 PM CDT up reply actions  

So their GM didn't address his teams weakness at the deadline then like you have been saying

Bryan Smith (12:17:17 PM PT): Justin Smoak and Josh Hamilton. The AL West might just have found their Bash Brothers, v. 2.0.

by bigsteve on Aug 7, 2009 10:01 AM CDT up reply actions  

I'd say defense is their weakness.

and they certainly didn’t address it.
