O'day has been far the best ranger on back to back nights
he will be fine.
great win.
the preceding post was a great success.
Especially Josh's

He had a real nice stretch
between the 2 DL stints. If he can stay healthy, I don’t see any reason he can’t put a nice couple month run.

closer in wild card
"I just want to comment on how it’s become like a common thing in the [MLB] for guys to fall in love with [the Rangers’s] sloppy seconds." (thanks cstorm)
and they sure haven't lost much either
in spite of the Angels being on an unsustainable hot streak.

actually
they were 4.5 out at that time and are now 3.5 behind the LAAoA.
Granted, that isn’t much… but they held on long enough during the Angel’s unreal record the last month to make this series truly meaningful to the standings in the West
Plus, the Rangers are only 1 game out in the WC behind the Sox and 1.5gms in front of the Rays….
Would I prefer to be in a better position? Yes.
Did the ‘fork’ comment imply that things would be much worse at this point? Absolutely.

i don't think it implied things would be worse at this point...
…certainly not much worse.
i think the greater concern was for the end of the season – not august 8th.
no one has predicted that the rangers will go winless and that LAA will win every game.
i don’t want to say what adam was thinking, but i thought and still do that this is an uphill battle.
awesome win! beat weaver/win the series, and i am cautiously optimistic.

would be his best game score in a while.

You would be hard pressed to see a Ranger NOT wanting to get in a shot on Padilla when the benches woudl score. We’d have to call up the entire RedHawks lineup to play after the 2 game suspensions that would be brought on us.
I'd rather see him go to an NL team
See if he still pulls his shit in an enviroment where they can retaliate against him.

Padilla...
He’s crazy enough that I could see him signing with a team like the Dodgers and then tossing a perfect game in his first start for them, then putting up multiple short outings with a ton of runs.

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.
So, a combined 50 pitches between Feliz and O'Day tonight.
Probably leaves them unavailable for tomorrow, and in Feliz’s case maybe for Sunday, too (seeing as how he’s pitched every other day three straight times).
Wonderful.

If they need O'Day, they'll use him I think.
He has had a rubber arm so far this season and his throwing motion probably makes it easier.
Where was Grilli tonight? Why not throw him out there if you need someone in the ninth?

I thought that initially
but look at Smoltz’s stats more closely. His ERA is fugly, but his FIP is 4.92, his xFIP is 4.35, his LOB rate is a very low 57%, with a BaBIP of .390, his tRA* is 4.94 (vs. Padilla’s 5.74).
This is guy on a run of terrible luck pitching in front of the worst defense in baseball.
G G G E-flat_______ F F F D__________....
i still disagree
i prefer internal options also
also, his BABIP looks unlucky b/c so many of them are HRs
this is one of those situations where a number of his stats are ugly, and the guy looks horrible
furthermore, you know boston is fairly sabre savvy…they realized he sucked
I didn't mean to say I'm anxious for the Rangers to sign him
I still prefer going with internal options, as I believe some of his “luck” isn’t really luck. And I don’t see the Rangers taking on his salary unless he clears waivers and is available for nothing. But Boston has lots of good options that TX doesn’t, Bowden, Wakefield, etc. and they may have felt that those guys are better in front of their awful gloves.
G G G E-flat_______ F F F D__________....
Wouldn't the HR's actually lower his BABIP
Since they don’t count as batted balls?
I’m not particularly interested in accquiring Smoltz either – I’d rather see Nippert or Moscoso get those starts the rest of the way – but I can’t say I’d be unhappy if they went out and got him. The only really bad things about his numbers are the ERA and the HR/9 – his K and walk rates would both be the best among our starters, and he still has a tRA+ of 93. His periphrials are actually a ton better than Padilla’s.

again though, this is where people get caught up in stats sometimes and dont look (not accusing you of this btw) at the player in question
smoltz has looked like trash, even if some things say he hasnt, he is throwing mediocre pitches at this point with bad location to boot

It will be interesting to see how Boston responds to tonight.
That was an epic battle against their biggest rival in which they threw 8 pitchers (including their ace)… only to lose their 4th in a row after nearly 6 hours… on the same day they had to DFA a future HoF starter of theirs… with Ortiz holding an anticipated press conference at Yankee Stadium tomorrow to admit to using steroids… with Sabathia pitching tomorrow…
Boston could still be reeling and out of the WC lead when they come to Arlington. They are now 8-12 since the All-Star Break.
They catch Detroit at Detroit (I believe)
before they get The Good Guys.
Abreu is a very formidable MVP candidate but Young is right there.

I think it will be a close race for the wild card till the end...
And Tampa Bay is playing well and right there in it too.
But this Boston team isn’t as good as others they’ve had recently.
Also take in to consideration that BoSox
used 7 pitchers out of their BP. They mat not have alot of options if the SP doesn’t pitch a CG.

Gotta figure the Yankees are a solid favorite to win again tomorrow.
Then Lester vs. Pettitte Sunday with the Red Sox trying to snap a 5-game losing streak…
Maybe,
but Pettite has been about a half-step above crap this year, I believe.

Yep.
I’d guess they split the next two… but maybe Pettitte finds his old stuff for a Sunday night game looking for a huge sweep of Boston.
I’m really liking our chances of having the wild card lead when Boston comes to town though.
It's becoming obvious that Buchholz is a head case...
I’m glad we didn’t end up with the guy…not sure he’s there, mentally.
Ephesians 3:20-21...and I can only imagine
My thoughts
he absolutely has to get out of boston…they should just trade the guy so he gets a chance to succeed somewhere…classic change of scenery kind of guy to me
if i were boston i wouldve rather traded him alone for Vmart rather than the package they gave up
definitely a head case, but the arm is still there……look at greinke
Not sure if anybody mentioned it

So the box score says Feldman gave up four runs
How? He gave up one run before the seventh inning. He left with the bases juiced in the seventh inning, but the first batter after Jennings came in hit into a fielder’s choice, which erased one of the men Feldman put on base. Does that guy somehow become Feldman’s responsibility?
The boxscore also shows
that Feldman had 7 Ks in 6 IP. Gotta help the FIP.
Elvis Andrus - 2009 AL Rookie of the Year
Mitch Moreland -Tom Grieve Rangers Minor League Player of the Year
Martin Perez - Nolan Ryan Rangers Minor League Pitcher of the Year
I really wonder why they put 4 runs on Feldman though... is there part of the rules I don't know?
I really thought the guy on first when the HR was hit should’ve been Jennings’ responsibility.
It's because it was a fielder's choice.
If Feldman hadn’t left a guy there, Jenning’s batter would have been an easy out. That’s the point of the fielder’s choice, that guy is on base, but not credited with a hit.
It’s Feldman’s fault he’s there. It’s charged to him.
Here you go
(g) When pitchers are changed during an inning, the official scorer shall not charge the relief pitcher with any run (earned or unearned) scored by a runner who was on base at the time such relief pitcher entered the game, nor for runs scored by any runner who reaches base on a fielder’s choice that puts out a runner left on base by any preceding pitcher.

well you probably won't see this now, but..
do a google search for instructions heh, they are simple.
it only takes a few minutes.. you just copy and paste a file or two and run a program.
though installing all the new stuff takes some time and effort to find out what you want.
Quick rundown of the features i’ve got..
1) Can completely customize the interface. 5×5 grid of apps instead of 4×4, new icon sets, whatever background you want, new dock. Can get the battery in a percentage too.
2) sbsettings program where you swipe across the top of the screen and you get a menu where you can adjust the brightness, turn on/off wifi and other power stuff, reset the thing much easier, etc. just easier access to things.
3) “backgrounder” app lets programs with audio run while you do other stuff.. so you could use the web browser while pandora radio or a mlb audio stream and such play in the background where as normally it would shut off.
4) categories app lets you create folders. I left most of my apps up normally but put the 40 something games I have all in a folder so I don’t have so many tabs.
thats most of the key ones for the touch.. i can’t remember the other ones iphone users would want but im sure there are some. i can recall something about using your iphone’s internet on your laptop… which iphones can do in other countries but not in america without the hack.
oh and if you are a classic gaming fan at all there are snes emulators and such.
you get all those with the “cydia” program that is installed automatically.
and yes, there are also programs that let you download any paid application for free, which is a little sketchy but im not one to judge heh.

so, do we think, from an MVP voters perspective, that MY has a legit shot at winning the MVP?
Im kinda sensing he might. His buddy Mark might have something to say about that, but i think from the perspective of the voters, MY has alot of things going for him.

Between acting like they’re not the least bit concerned about the Rangers and agreeing that Feliz is an utter badass, they had this:
“is it crazy to think padilla would be a good option?
hell his ugly ass is pitching better than saundo
saundo had the worst era in baseball
before his game of 27+ tonight
from what i heard in the pregame, it was a chemistry issue so maybe padilla would thrive pitching against his former team
chemistry?
Padilla’s team mates got sick and tired of being retaliated against every time he decided it would be fun to hit an opposing batter with a pitch. Stuff gets old after a while."
Angel fans are actually discussing Padilla as an option! HA! Take ’em!
i would just enjoy the mayhem that would ensue if he pitched against us
utter mayhem
"The House That Ruth Built, 85 years old, goes out as The House That Hamilton Knocked Down"
Theres a bunch of Padilla quotes on a texasrangers.com story, but i find this amazing
“Padilla also disputed a claim that he was seen on television laughing on the bench when Young got hit.
“I was laughing at Michael?” Padilla said. “That’s crazy. I was in the clubhouse.”"
uh.. i saw that.

And since every stupid comment by rev was posted
I’ll post a line i liked from his game summary =)
“Saturday’s game was all Rangers, despite an exciting Maicer Izturis 3-Run Homer in a 4-Run 7th inning, which at least forced Texas “manager” Ron Washington to exhaust Neftali Feliz, who ended up throwing 28 pitches, only 23 of which broke the sound barrier with none even close to the speed of light, so so much for all the hype, right?"
the preceding post was a great success.
"manager"... nice...
Man… I wish more people would own up to what’s really driving these kinds of lines about Washington…
Any chance Feliz
loses complete control of 1 pitch into the Halo’s dugout, that plunks FatBoy and Juan Rivera, on the ricochet?

This looks like a bargaining ploy, but could also mean the truth of my fear, that the Rangers drafted two guys who were perceived as unsignable for a reason.

you don't think it's plausible
I hope that’s not the case, but that has to give you some cause for concern, especially with the financial problems of tom hicks and the sell of the team inevitable

"I really think that" - LSJ, on being asked by AirJordan
what's your point?
that people don’t get signed every year because of high bonus demands. True.
But, when you know they have extremely high bonus demands and it would be difficult to sign them, then compounding that with the financial problems, you don’t think they knew they couldn’t sign them. Of course, if this turns out to be the case.
A baseball game is simply a nervous breakdown divided into nine innings.
I mean
people posteur every year, and they find way to get leverage. Scheppers has no leverage, and he certainly isn’t going back to the ID leagues again.
Worrying over posturing is dumb, especially since we already spent big money on our LA signings this year. JD knew the budget when he went into the draft that hasn’t changed. this is a total non story.

I don’t really feel like this should be a humongous deal, myself (although we don’t have any other details besides those pics). But since it’s him, and he has a past, it’ll no doubt get turned into one.

It’ll be interesting to see how he handles it, considering this comes out in the middle of a horrible on-field season for him.
I’m more concerned that whatever progress he’s made swinging the bat lately could wind up wiped out by this skeleton flying out of the closet, really.

Yeah,
that doesn’t look good for Josh but doesn’t he pee in a cup every three days?
I remember watching one of those specials on Josh from the years he was using and in a few of those pics he was wearing a ballcap backwards.
Probably a real good time for him to hit about .440 for a month with a lot of bombs.
"Dying ain't hard. It's living that's hard."

hmm, well that probably means he didnt make it to the drugs
cuz he would be supended by now
"The House That Ruth Built, 85 years old, goes out as The House That Hamilton Knocked Down"
When I was in Arizona for Spring Training
Josh was very much a rock star in the sense that people were constantly tugging at him on the back fields in the mornings and also when he would get his 5-6 innings in of play.
He went beyond the reasonable call of duty in accommodating as many autograph seekers as he could. He seemed to genuinely feel bad when he couldn’t sign and had to actually work at his craft (get in the cage, play in a game, go for his after game workout, etc.).
He’s very human and this proves it. Maybe we can also see why the Reds gave up on him as soon as they did.
Also, his future sobriety isn’t a rock solid given either and there are no definitive winners just yet in the Eddy V / Josh trade.
"Dying ain't hard. It's living that's hard."

Bruce was a CF when Hamilton got traded.
But didn’t Griffey say Hamilton was and teammate or something?
by TooLegitToQuit on Aug 8, 2009 1:14 PM CDT via mobile up reply actions
No winners?
I’d say everyone involved won. The Reds got a good pitcher who needed a change of scenery, the Rangers got a huge talent in a needy outfield. Both players benefited hugely, Volquez got a chance in a new org and took advantage of it, bigtime, and so did Hamilton. Both teams derived wins and fan interest from the deal.
Everyone wins.
