Murray Chass on Scott Feldman and the Ranger pitching

by Adam J. Morris on Sep 13, 2009 11:06 AM CDT

Non-blogger Murray Chass has a blog post up today that talks at length about the greatness of Scott Feldman and how Nolan Ryan is responsible for the Rangers allowing fewer runs this year.

By altering the practice of pampering pitchers with pitch counts and inning counts, the old-fashioned Ryan knows he is risking unwanted scrutiny from people ready to say I told you so.

The health and effectiveness of the pitchers is a major reason behind the Ranges’ place in the races for a playoff spot, division and wild card, and the likelihood that they will finish with their best won-lost record in 10 years.

Hank is the elephant in the room. When will he disappear?

I find it hilarious that you guys get upset over a typo. Like you never make any.

I don't write for a living

Murray Chass presumably does. In his defense, he probably spends hours every day telling kids to get off his lawn.

Ahem

The health and effectiveness of the pitchers

Of the original rotation, only Millwood is still pitching, and he has been sucking ass lately. Its hilarious that he can make that claim. It just shows how delusional sportswriters generally are.

Murray's thought process

Rangers pitchers on the season are among the best in the AL. Nolan Ryan this offseason talked about how he was doing away with pitch counts. Clearly that worked so lets write a long article about how great Nolan is and how well his idea worked.

By 2028, Mark Teixeira will be in the HOF.
