PrintNamirez: 4/7/3/2/3/4. Ran into trouble in the 4th/5th...I'm starting to feel like a cock for continuing to value the guy as highly as I do.
FRS - 7:00 - Kirkman (ON TV)
Kirkman: 6/2/1/1/4/3. Moreland: 0-2 BB, Whittleman: 1-2, RBI, BB.
More to come as games start. More to come as games start. More to come as games start. More to come as games start. More to come as games start. More to come as games start.

How long is McCarthy going tonight?
"The only good is knowledge and the only evil is ignorance."-Socrates
until something cracks, snaps or pops..
WOOO BMac is back I didn’t know he was good to go yet, that’s kinda cool.
The I.Q. test has been abolished.
It is now the Gardner Scale.
Terrible first for McCarthy.
3 runs given up, 24 pitches thrown so far, not out of the 1st inning yet.
He’s getting quite a few swings and misses though.
So, typical Brandon McCarthy.
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.

He;s adjusting
his mechanics to hopefully limit damage. It’s what it is.

"I really think that" - LSJ, on being asked by AirJordan
He's always had problems throwing a ton of pitches though.
Just seems to be the kind of pitcher he is.

Oh dear.
Ian Snell tonight- 1.1ip 2hits 6BB
I think Luke French has a lot of potential. TORP potential.-Dstar
IIRC Brian Tallet had a similar type of effort after faceraping us.
Who knew that Ian Snell could walk people.
After the game, we'll hear Snell's laments on what he did wrong facing a major league lineup for the first time since June.

Putting himself back on the map? Another good start tonight, and he’s had over a K per inning in the Cal League with a respectable HR and walk rate.
he certaintly has some very legit stats
i’ll be interested to see what he can do in Frisco next year and if they keep him as a starter or put him back in the pen

Two other Bakersfield Pitchers that are getting unfairly owned by being stuck in Bakersfield and the Cal League
Kennil Gomez: 98/52 K/BB 8.9 K/9 1.73 GO/AO… Alot of really good indicators there, the 10 HRs he’s given up and 128 hits are what inflates his ERA to over 6, but those things will likely go down next year in TL. He does need to reduce the walks some, but otherwise, he has alot of Poveda in him IMO.
Richard Bleir: 83/18 K/BB 7 K/9 2.09 GO/AO… Has a Blake Beavan-esque walk rate + a great ground ball rate and a pretty solid K-rate. I know his stuff isnt plus, but a ground ball, strike throwing finesse lefty is still a very useable pitcher. Hopefully these rates can be held up in Frisco, if so, the 5+ ERA this year will be more like 3.50 in the TL.
"The House That Ruth Built, 85 years old, goes out as The House That Hamilton Knocked Down"
Richard Bleir has the 4th best FIP in the Cal LG at 3.14
and Gomez has a solid FIP of 4.48 despite likely having a pretty inflated HR #…
Some bad Defense, bad luck and the hatred of the Cal LG for its pitchers are keeping these guys from having much more noticeable seasons.

Gomez...
Please. The BB rate, dude.

Fixed his mechanics last time Danny Clark was in town
and is back up to the 90-93 range with his fastball.
Escobar promoted?
Last nite Edwin Escobar didn’t pitch his regular turn for the rooks in AZ. Keith Campbell did pitch in relief for Spokane however, which means he’s not taking his regular turn Sunday. Ocampo or Henry might be starting instead, getting another shot after some time in the pen. But I wonder if Escobar has been promoted to make the Sunday start SPO?
Care to speculate why did they promote Majewski over Gentry to OKC?
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
Golson and Gentry are both CF'ers ... so maximize their CF PT
And … putting on my Jason Cole cap … Scott Servais likes to keep groups together and encourage them to compete. Gentry is one of Frisco’s best players and they’re in a playoff battle. And Majeswki can be easily yo-yo’ed back to the TL when Borbon is sent back down.
