@LoneStarDugout U.S. beat Japan 4-2 today. Justin Smoak: 1/2, 1 HR, 2 walks. Yep, another homer. That’s six in five games for him.

Sickels on Smoak:
Justin Smoak: Smoak was the 11th overall pick in the draft, from the University of South Carolina. I thought this was a great bargain for the Rangers; I loved his bat and had him ranked ahead of all college hitters except Alvarez and Buster Posey before the draft. He got off to a great start at Double-A Frisco, hitting .328/.449/.481 with 39 walks and just 35 strikeouts in 183 at-bats. However, he strained an oblique muscle in June, and while he came back quickly he wasn’t the same afterward. The Rangers promoted him aggressively to Triple-A Oklahoma City where he hit .244/.363/.360 in 54 games, continuing to show good plate discipline but lacking power. Overall he hit .290/.410/.443 with 12 homers, 75 walks, and 81 strikeouts in 386 at-bats. I still like Smoak a lot, and suspect that the oblique hampered his performance much of the summer. He retained command of the strike zone even when struggling. However, hopes that he would be ready in 2010 have to be tempered; he’ll need more Triple-A time.

I'm fine with that...

and damn as he been on fire for Team USA. Another bomb today. I’m fine with him spending another couple months in OKC to start next year. Hopefully he will rake and force the Rangers to call him up sooner, but the lack of power was a littlle bit of a concern for me this year. If his oblique was the cause of that loss of power that would be good news.

I absolutely want LAAA

Last night with LAAA and NYY being on, I pointed out to my gf (a Red Sox fan) that I wasn’t sure who to root for since I hate NYY so much. I decided to pull for NYY, which ticked her off a tiny bit. I said “look, I want the Angels, not you…. That didn’t come out like I intended.”

Remember Red, hope is a good thing. Maybe the best of things. And no good thing ever dies.

Millie and the line up

from Jeff Wilson..

The Rangers will keep Kevin Millwood out of their rotation plans the rest of the homestand as they give him more time to work on some mechanical changes he is making to alter his string of poor performances. The right-hander won’t pitch until either Monday or next Tuesday at Oakland. Left-hander Derek Holland will pitch Sunday against the Angels.

Well, as Will Carrol said (I think it was will anyway)

The problem MY was going to have was pushing out of the batters box, not playing the field, so DHing him wouldn’t have much effect on keeping him in the lineup or not.

Looks like he was right.

This is most certainly the most dead this team has been all season

The Angels are going to take us apart this weekend if they’re still playing like this.

We need a nice, 5-7 run rally to make this team feel good about itself again, but I don’t know if they’re capable of it right now.

Screw it. I say throw in the towel

Find a way to not let Milly pitch the rest of the year. Stretch out Feliz so he can start a few games with a small pitch count allowance.

Shutdown Holland, and let Nippert take his spot in the rotation and finish the year.
