Feliz says his greatest thrill was striking out Boston Red Sox DH David Ortiz, one of his heroes. Yet, when he called to tell his parents, his mother had a request: Strike out New York Yankees third baseman Alex Rodriguez, too.
"So when I did that," Feliz says, "I told my mom, 'There you go. There's your present. Don't ask me to strike anyone else out, OK?'

yes, its only about 5 innings heh.
But, its 1 in his last… 22 and 2/3 by quick possibly wrong math.
the preceding post was a great success.
That last start against Detroit really screwed up his stats.

I don't like you're reasoning..
and I don’t think any pitch taken for a strike is a good take.
but I can definitely see why he took it.
I mean if you're beat by the pitch, you're beat by the pitch
I’d rather have a 50/50 shot at a strikeout/walk than i would you swinging at the pitch and giving yourself a 5% of getting a base hit out of it

How many more errors
would we have this year if Davis hadn’t been at 1st?
Someone with time can look at the # of infield errors while Hank was at first
vs. CD’s reign.
However, I think Hank was not that bad at 1st
I don't know if we'd have that many more
But We’d have fewer outs. The infielders seem to feel a lot more comfortable uncorking thier throws when Davis is over there.

I think occasionally Wash goes into "I'm Keith Hernandez" mode

CJ Wilson
has probably been our most valuable relief pitcher this entire season.
Happy has been great but he didn’t get here with his queso until July.
"Dying ain't hard. It's living that's hard."
"Ranger players, especially veterans, weren’t surprised that Daniels couldn’t find a deal"
id pretty much agree with that
CJ is an exceptional RP. Thats why i dont want his arm to fall off b4 the end of the season
Feliz says his greatest thrill was striking out Boston Red Sox DH David Ortiz, one of his heroes. Yet, when he called to tell his parents, his mother had a request: Strike out New York Yankees third baseman Alex Rodriguez, too.
"So when I did that," Feliz says, "I told my mom, 'There you go. There's your present. Don't ask me to strike anyone else out, OK?'
and you still have to think future years as well
Scott Shields is not the same pitcher after throwing so many innings with the Angels.
A baseball game is simply a nervous breakdown divided into nine innings.
CJ and O'Day
have both been solid. I’d give the edge to O’Day just for pure value of how we got him
A baseball game is simply a nervous breakdown divided into nine innings.
I'd rather have the better pitcher instead of worrying about how he was
acquired.
"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 think both are great
I don’t worry about how we got O’Day. But you can easily argue that he has been better than CJ.
A baseball game is simply a nervous breakdown divided into nine innings.
Well, CJ is worth 9.6 pRAA and a 1.7 WAR
O’Day is worth 7.5 pRAA and a 1.3 WAR. Dollar-wise, CJ has been worth 7.6 mil, O’Day 5.7.
So yeah, CJ is pretty much the most valuable guy in the bullpen, unless you count Feliz.

Eddie G can come into a 7-3 game with two on and one out in the 7th
but he can’t come into a 5-0 game in the 8th (when we’re three outs closer to the finish line) with nobody on, no outs.
Amazing how all that happened when all he did was throw a wp and give up an opposite field flop shot in two pitches.
Not a fan of Eddie’s but how could what happened last night change his status so drastically 15 hours later?

5-5 for the German midget
Hank is 7 runs below a zombie replacement at first base. Do you realize how terrible that is? Zombie’s can’t think, they’re slow, and they’re often ejected from the game for eating opposing baserunners’ brains. - Ben quantifies Hank Blalock
If we gave him
a ZZ top beard and a pointy hat, would he look like a garden gnome?
Stick him in front of the ballpark in December maybe?

Feliz says his greatest thrill was striking out Boston Red Sox DH David Ortiz, one of his heroes. Yet, when he called to tell his parents, his mother had a request: Strike out New York Yankees third baseman Alex Rodriguez, too.
"So when I did that," Feliz says, "I told my mom, 'There you go. There's your present. Don't ask me to strike anyone else out, OK?'
oh elvis
pad that UZR

Nadel is great

What's especially encouraging
is that our offense did this with Kinsler going 1-5 and Cruz 0-5.
ahhhhh I love Elvis so much!

Is that an intentioinal thing...
from Nadel? He keeps saying “the Clevelands.” Objecting to the term “Indians?” Or just a verbal tic?
He likes to do that for some reason

I cannot believe how fucking off base I was about Tiny E before this season.
The Kid is great and is going to become a star.

i really love watching him play
and the fact that he is going to be a Ranger for a long time. Can he get better, he is a 21 year old rookie. That is scary.

Thanks for the new sig
I was due for a change.

maybe Andrus should pitch with his cannon of an arm

1.5 games out
1 if Boston loses

Feldman Official Game Score
70.
"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 14-9 the rest of the way
gets us to 93 wins. I dont think thats unfeasible. The question is, will it be enough?
Too bad we dropped 2 of 3 to the fucking Orioles. Jesus we’d be sitting pretty right now.
where's the post game thread?
