Sunday morning Rangers stuff

PrintRubber game of the series today, and Texas will either be 3 1/2 out or 5 1/2 out in the West at the end of the day.
Jeff Wilson says that Kevin Millwood just got out-pitched yesterday, and has quotes from Marlon Byrd raving about how great Kevin Jepsen was in shutting the Rangers down with runners on second and third and one out late in yesterday's game.
Jarrod Saltalamacchia will play today, after missing a couple of days with a sore shoulder, and Ian Kinsler is expected to go through some agility drills in Cleveland this week and possibly do a rehab assignment.
Gary Pettis is working with Julio Borbon on his throwing.
I'm not interested at this point in the Josh Hamilton photo story, but if you are, you can read about it via Jeff Wilson, Gil LeBreton, and Kevin Sherrington.

First off
I hate commenting on mobile devices. Secondly, this could very well be the most important game of the year if we are going to have any chance at keeping up with LA and beating them in the head-to-head games that are left.
I hope that Derek Holland can get it done today like he did a few weeks ago.

he has to throw first pitch strikes
or it is going to be a long day.
A baseball game is simply a nervous breakdown divided into nine innings.
Doesn't seem like a good match up for him.

There is, in fact, a manly and lawful passion for equality which excites men to wish all to be powerful and honored. This passion tends to elevate the humble to the rank of the great; but there exists also in the human heart a depraved taste for equality, which impels the weak to attempt to lower the powerful to their own level, and reduces men to prefer equality in slavery to inequality with freedom.

he had good stuff
but his numbers overall are pretty terrible. the fact that he hit 99 on the gun is impressive.
A baseball game is simply a nervous breakdown divided into nine innings.
TT (while playing 4 days straight)
3 for 13 (.231 batting average) with 3 walks (.375 obp).
He needs to play more.
"Dying ain't hard. It's living that's hard."
"Ranger players, especially veterans, weren’t surprised that Daniels couldn’t find a deal"
really
there is very little evidence to back this up
"The House That Ruth Built, 85 years old, goes out as The House That Hamilton Knocked Down"
Last September
TT played in 14 games and had a 1255 OPS with 5 bombs/16 RBI.
Playing every 5th-6th game doesn’t agree with TT.
Playing 5 out of 6 games doesn’t seem to agree with Salty either.
"Dying ain't hard. It's living that's hard."
"Ranger players, especially veterans, weren’t surprised that Daniels couldn’t find a deal"
so we just throw out the fact that he hit .220 for most of last season
and .220 for this season. Salty is still younger, with more upside, and has played better defense than TT this year.
you can draw conclusions from three games if you’d like, but i’ll take mine from full years.
"The House That Ruth Built, 85 years old, goes out as The House That Hamilton Knocked Down"
I don't worry about batting average as much as I do
everything that goes into OPS.
Salty, by far, has gotten the most playing time yet his performance doesn’t suggest he’s earned it.
"Dying ain't hard. It's living that's hard."
"Ranger players, especially veterans, weren’t surprised that Daniels couldn’t find a deal"
let me rephase, in bt. OKC and Frisco last year
TT had a .689 OPS… and thus far this season he has put up a .603 OPS… there is very little to suggest that one month was anything more than an extreme outlier to what TT can do at the ML level. Salty has performed better this year both with the bat and glove, put up solid numbers for a catcher last year and shows plenty of promise with the bat. Be patient and let him develop, beating on the door for TT to play more is just reactionary thinking.
"The House That Ruth Built, 85 years old, goes out as The House That Hamilton Knocked Down"
Salty has taken two steps forward defensively since he arrived
but he has also taken two steps backwards as a hitter.
And let’s hope his shoulder really has been sore and that we’re not seeing Mackey Sasser 2.
"Dying ain't hard. It's living that's hard."
"Ranger players, especially veterans, weren’t surprised that Daniels couldn’t find a deal"
Teagarden wasn't really healthy last year
until he went to the Olympics.
Then we saw him do very well in The Show last September.
"Dying ain't hard. It's living that's hard."
"Ranger players, especially veterans, weren’t surprised that Daniels couldn’t find a deal"
so has our entire offense sadly
i fully expect Salty to develop into a .260/.340/420 type hitter. I see him inconsistently being that hitter right now, it just seems he loses his focus in at bats sometimes between trying to focus on calling a good game and the heat. I think in time, you’ll see him be good enough hitter… On the other hand, Teargarden swing really worries me, he seems to almost have a hole in his bat when he’s swinging at any fastball over 92 MPH.
"The House That Ruth Built, 85 years old, goes out as The House That Hamilton Knocked Down"
in a perfect world
TT becomes a solid enough offensive catcher so that Salty only has to catch 100-110 games a year. It seems with two decent catchers, productivity might be helped out a bit in the heat by giving some days off to both of them..
"The House That Ruth Built, 85 years old, goes out as The House That Hamilton Knocked Down"
Thats a little extreme, no?
No doubt hes had too many passed balls this year for his brief playing time, but that can’t erase his stellar defensive reputation that was backed up by stats in the minors.
the preceding post was a great success.
Its a bit concerning, but that's about it
By 2028, Mark Teixeira will be in the HOF.
"I am one of the biggest Texas Ranger fans out there but I'm also one of the smartest. Deal with it."
-The Outlaw
yea, id say that Salty has been better defensively this year
but that really only has to do with blocking balls and keeping from pass balls. Other than that, TT has been really solid
"The House That Ruth Built, 85 years old, goes out as The House That Hamilton Knocked Down"
Playing every 5th-6th game might not agree with TT
But unfortunately, his body and lack of offensive talent has forced him into that role
By 2028, Mark Teixeira will be in the HOF.
"I am one of the biggest Texas Ranger fans out there but I'm also one of the smartest. Deal with it."
-The Outlaw
I'm not sure if he's better...
than Salty, but I’d be ok with him getting a 2 or 3 week period of consistent playing time to see what he has.
I think this is the first time he has started consecutive games all year.

With the Marlins not quite kicking it into high gear and CO/SF pulling away in the NL WC....
Is it too late to get Nick Johnson?
Omar Poveda for Nick? Is that reasonable at this point?

Rangers would probably be fairly high on the waiver list, if it's based on last year's record.
I don’t really follow those types of procedural details very closely, but I see from a quick search of baseballprospectus that it goes by worse CURRENT record. There are a lot of teams in contention that have a worse record than the Rangers, like the Rays, Cardinals, Cubs, White Sox, Detroit. Yeah. He might not get to the Rangers.
Wonderboy, what is the secret of your power? Wonderboy, won't you take me far away from the mucky-muck now. -- Tenacious D
Question
Since Poveda is on the 40, would he have to clear waivers too? Also, could the Rangers trade for Nick Johnson for a PTBNL promising to send Poveda when the World Series is over, thereby not trading him during the no-trade period?
Not that I think the other team would trade Nick for Omar, more curious about the rule.
Reply fail by me
So if you are trading prospects, it is easy to get by the no-trade period rule. Just use the PTBNL clause because it’s not like the prospects are going to effect either team’s playoff chances this year.
by Mark from OC on Aug 9, 2009 10:48 AM CDT up reply actions
That ship sailed and Nick Johnson isn't getting thru waivers this August.
.571 obp in 32 plate appearances with 10 walks for Marlins.
Also slugging .545.
"Dying ain't hard. It's living that's hard."
"Ranger players, especially veterans, weren’t surprised that Daniels couldn’t find a deal"
Just thinking that the Marlins might want to recoup a little.
Rangers wouldn’t seem very likely to get him, but I think he’ll get traded again.

G G G E-flat_______ F F F D__________....
I don't think Millwood was that out pitched by Weaver yesterday
Especially considering his first game back after a couple weeks off with no rehab assignment. Plus Weaver was facing our hacktastic offense which always makes guys look better
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.
i don't see how he was out-pitched if he left the game tied
and weaver got into trouble when he left and got bailed out by a strong bullpen performance.
"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)
the FOX broadcast actually put it to Wash about how the hitters...
are swinging at alot of first pitches, and Wash just said they’re getting good pitches to hit, so we’ll let him hack. “it’s not like they’re hitting weak grounders back to the pitcher.” No Wash, the were hitting weak popups.
Work the damn count, and get Weaver out of the game earlier. They better work count against Lackey today.
A baseball game is simply a nervous breakdown divided into nine innings.
So, Hamilton....
It seems to me that he kind of wanted to get caught. He sure didn’t hide his behavior all that well, and he didn’t do anything completely, end-of-career stupid.
Well, at least, nothing caught on tape/video/pic.

I would just like to thank
David Ortiz for absorbing most of the available negative media attention yesterday. Josh gets to fly relatively under the radar and most people have already forgotten the story.
by Basehead on Aug 9, 2009 11:41 AM CDT via mobile up reply actions
Like I said yesterday
More players should take notes from Hamilton on how its done. Ortiz lied his ass off and keeps avoiding the issue. The result? He gets a media shit storm. Hamilton is completely open about everything that happened and is honest to the media. The result? The story dies out after a day or so.
By 2028, Mark Teixeira will be in the HOF.

He has admitted that he had wondered whether he could take a drink.
My thinking is that he could’ve done that in a far less visible place. He could’ve put himself in a situation to relapse where no one would’ve had the slightest clue. It’s almost as if he didn’t want to avoid his safety net, but he knew he had it should his testing with a single drink get carried away.
Wonderboy, what is the secret of your power? Wonderboy, won't you take me far away from the mucky-muck now. -- Tenacious D
To finish this thought....
He really wanted to find out what would happen if he took a drink, and he fully relied upon his safety net. A trial and error approach.
Now he knows. Probably moreso than ever.

So maybe the idea of "he wanted to get caught" isn't exactly what I meant.
I think I might mean that he was willing to get caught if things got out of hand.

Eh
An alcoholic had a relapse and a baseball player had good looking women hitting on him. Both of those things happen a lot.
I have a friend that manages a huge bar across the street from a ballpark. He said one of his waitresses slept with a married ballplayer weeks after his wife had a kid and he has tons of other stories about players.
Josh isn’t a saint or a terrible person. Just doing the best he can.
Remember Red, hope is a good thing. Maybe the best of things. And no good thing ever dies.
Amen
It pisses me off how people call him hypocritical or sanctimonious. He’s a man with an addiction problem who found strength in religion. Humans make mistakes, and I’ve never seen Hamilton try to rub his beliefs in peoples faces.

surprising you don’t mention a win today and a NYY win and we’re tied for the Wild Card. We got a better shot at getting the Wild Card or AL West, in your opinion. We have 3 coming up against Boston in TX. Very possible we own the WIld Card lead next week.
Dutch today...
Not really looking forward to him against this lineup. They take a ton of pitches and don’t swing at anything outside the strike zone. He’s going to have to throw strikes and the only pitch I am absolutely confident of him throwing for a strike at any given time is his fastball.
I hope I’m wrong, obviously, and I hope we absolutely kill whoever they are pitching (I think it’s Lackey?), but I don’t see Dutch doing well today.

Holland's great outings this year
came against a SFO line-up in a tough hitter’s park and against a Seattle team (that’s weak offensively) that had traveled 5 hours on a flight the night previous.
Other than that, uh….buddy.
I’m hopeful today but we better have our hitting shoes on this afternoon.

Granted that today is a HUGE
game but it’s not the elimination game that some people in here would want you to believe.
I’m bracing myself for Holland to give up 4 runs in 5 innings and hopefully we can rope-a-dope with Lackey enough that he’s done after 6 and make it a battle of the bullpens.
How freaking big is next week’s series with the Bosox going to be?
"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 bet we score more than that
We own Lackey this year and their bullpen (minus Jespen) absolutly blows chunks. If anything it’ll be us winning 10-8 with our bullpen shutting them down after they hang 7 on Holland.
i feel
the opposite… Just get ahead 0-1 most of the time and he’ll be good tonight. He’s got really good K/BB ratios so far, i think one of the best, if not the best of all the SP, its when he starts falling behind early in the counts and the batter knows whats coming.
"The House That Ruth Built, 85 years old, goes out as The House That Hamilton Knocked Down"
Lackey last 5 Game Scores -60, 86, 64, 71, 63

First Pitch Swinging--the numbers show Wash may be correct
Leaving aside the notion that not swinging at the first pitch is the way to wear down a starting pitcher, Wash may be correct about swinging at good first pitches. The breakdown on Baseball-Ref shows that our OPS on first pitches is an very nice 1.070, worse than our performance on 3-0, 3-1, 2-0 counts, but better than “hitter’s counts” such as 1-0, 2-1, and our “after 2-0.” Given the fact that good pitchers on a good day, like Weaver yesterday, usually don’t fall behind hitters, don’t walk anybody, and aren’t going to have a high pitch count that “wears them down” anyway, it is better, statistically, at least, to swing at the first pitch.
Yes, but it's using that same idea against the Chad Gaudins of the world that have gotten us in trouble.

very true, we do that way, way too much against the bad pitchers who dont throw strikes.
i dont have not such a problem with swinging at first pitches simply because thats what alot of these hitters have built their careers on.
The problem i do have with the consistent swinging at a 1st pitch even if you foul it off or miss it you are taking a huge weapon away from your offense, the walk. I think we just need some new hitters in here that know how to take strikes at certain times. I like that we Called up Esteban German, he’s got a pretty good track record of being a patient hitter. I think Wash wanted to get him up here bad b/c this offense is just a misery to continually watch for him as well as us.

We own Lackey, but the key question is
can this line-up produce the 11 runs we’ll need to win today?
geez you'd think byrd would be asking for a day off the field by now
the preceding post was a great success.
In a contract year?
Byrd really believes he’s an everyday CF that should be bating 3rd or 4th, so he won’t take a day off.
Byrd is well acquainted with the story of Wally Pipp
and probably knows how much The Gut loves him. Doesn’t wanna give anybody a chance to go on a hot streak.

I don’t have a problem with him as a person and I wouldn’t have a problem with him as a player if we was just used correctly.
He is in a contract year though, so he needs to do what he can to maximize his value.
