PrintIts playoffs time!
The Rangers have set their ALDS roster, going with a 6 man bullpen -- Dustin Nippert and Derek Holland being the last guys to make the cut -- and adding Esteban German to the bench. David Murphy is on the roster, although it sounds like he'll be limited to pinch hitting duties the first two games.
Tampa has set their roster as well, and among the more interesting cuts are Jake McGee and Jeremy Hellickson.
The Rangers lineup today is:
Nelson Cruz
Cliff Lee, of course, is on the mound.
Rays are going:
With David Price pitching.
Evan Grant breaks down what the Rangers need to do to get past Tampa in round 1.
Jeff Wilson has a piece on the importance of Cliff Lee to the Rangers.
Wilson also writes about Michael Young finally making the playoffs.
Richard Durrett has a story on Ron Washington making his playoff managerial debut.
T.R. Sullivan writes that Young and Guerrero set the tone and provide the leadership for this Rangers team.
MLB.com has a story on Josh Hamilton coming full circle this postseason.
Anthony Andro's notes hit on David Murphy's status, Neftali Feliz as a rookie closer in the playoffs, and Josh Hamilton coming back to play against his original club.
Gil Lebreton has a column looking at how the Rangers, in contrast to their old playoff teams, have built a team that got them to the postseason on the strength of their pitching.
Jean-Jacques Taylor says that Rangers fans expect to lose this series because of the team's history.

While I've used lots of shady ways in my time
I would like to point out that $9.99 is pretty reasonable (and what I’m going to do).
oh ok hey FP I was gonna say...
You can use my code for mlb.com if you want….I’m watching on tv, for this series at least..
This shit ain't over til Bengie Molina sings.
well maybe I'll buy it, I'll keep you posted..
I see there is a link on there for TBS also maybe that’ll work…
This shit ain't over til Bengie Molina sings.
I guess the law market really is that bad
but you’re not 9.99 poor. You could panhandle that shit in 3 hours
Anyway, to answer your question, I bet all of the normal shady ways would be available. Just go to myp2p.eu as a start.
But quality is going to suffer
Our lobby has a TV.
I’m going to demand the receptionist change it away from MSNBC or whatever they show all day to TBfuckingESS.

Morris Day and the Motherfuckin Time!
"Whenever I'm about to do something, I think 'Would an idiot do that?' And if they would, I do not do that thing."
True story about The Time.
Back in college, I was at a convention at the Omni in downtown Austin. We were hanging out in the lobby when we saw this group of guys walk in wearing zoot suits. We asked them who they were and they said they were The Time. They were playing a show at the Liberty Lunch (RIP), so my friends and I hopped in a cab to the Liberty Lunch. They put on a great show. After the show, we got one of the girls in our group to ask them if they would give us a ride back to the Omni in their tour bus, and they said yes. Morris Day did not ride on the bus, but we got to hang out with the rest of The Time. They enjoyed my Speed Racer tie. It was a blast.

Does anyone else think that with his knit cap and mustache,

Superman wears Josh Hamilton pajamas.
I am astonished that Nippert made the final cut
Under no circumstances do I want to see him in a playoff game.
I like Dusty soaking up the innings in a shellackin
which is why I hope he doesn’t pitch again in 2010.
"Does this effectively hide my thunder?"
"Once you suffer through it, it’s all glorious beard from there." -GoET
Exactly
If Nippert gets involved, then we need to concede that game and let him pitch out the rest of frames. No reason we should see him in ANY other scenario.

"I support you, Wash; I’ve always supported you," Young said

Who would you have chosen instead?
Nippert has been pretty good since returning, and he’ll only be used in low leverage situations.
When you're drowning, you don't say 'I would be incredibly pleased if someone would have the foresight to notice me drowning and come and help me,' you just scream.
I would rather have had Kirkman and Rapada in there, or Feldman even.
It is nice to have German on the bench. Still if Nippert is in the game, that can be nothing good, hence, I do not want to see Nippert in a playoff game.

I am so freaking nervous
I don’t think I’ve ever hung on to the W/L outcome of a game like today just because we’re never quite in contention, but this…oh man I’m gonna stuck to my TV
Yep.
But what’s weird is, I’ve come to grips with every possible outcome.
If Cliff Lee gets hammered for 7 runs in 2 1/3 innings, I’ve prepared for that.
If Cliff Lee throws a perfect game, I’ve prepared for that.

Looking at the rest of our pitching matchups I like our chances
even if we don’t win game 1. David Price is the only guy that scares me.
anyone watch 30 for 30 last night yanks vs sox?
they brought up the point in game 6 all they had to do was bunt at schilling and no way he could make a play to get anyone out….. which brings me to the point.. I would love to see Elvis and or Face drop down a bunt up the 3rd base line and test out Longoria right out of the gates.

I like the idea of a 6 man bullpen for this series
I would have probably chosen Kirkman or Rapada over Holland, but I like the 6 man bullpen.
2 games, off day, 2 games, off day, Game 5
Feliz, Oliver, O’Day, and Ogando should all be able to pitch in all 5 games, if need be.
Of course, Clifton Phifer Lee pitches today, so those guys can just chill.

Yes they are.
I have seen them live twice. One of my favorite concert experiences happened the second time I saw them. They started to play the intro to one of their songs, but they did not start singing in the usual place. They obviously planned to play the instrumental part longer before starting the singing. But the crowd jumped in and started singing at the point where the singing started on the album version. The lead singer motioned to the band to change their plan, and he joined in singing with the crowd instead of starting from the beginning. It was just so awesome to hear so many fans who knew the song so well, and it was awesome that Hed (PE) altered their plans to join in with the fans. It was an awesome fan experience.

Pitfalls
Living in Galveston, there isn’t anyone around me, or anyone at work that will spoil it. During the regular season, I successfully pulled it off a dozen times. Plus, if the game started at 7:00, I’d start at 8:00 and easily skip all the commercials.
But there are several pitfalls.
I blew it once at work, when I forgot it was a day game and pulled up LSB, only to see the blue box at the top of the game day thread with the full score.
I made the mistake of pulling up email at home to check out some things at work. A Newberg update hit me.
A brother-in-law called me to rub it in as his Tigers beat the Rangers. (Season series this year was 6-3 Rangers in case any Tigers fans are lurking around).
And the easiest accidental way ever… I went to get something from the convenience store, and ESPN radio was on. As I started the car, the score was blurted out. No time to even kill the radio. Bad timing.

From the ESPN Dallas blog on Feliz
Since August 1, Feliz has shaved 84 points off his ERA. He has pitched 23 innings, struck out 23 batters and allowed only 11 hits, 5 walks and 3 runs. Maybe more importantly, it appears that his “dominance” has also returned. In August, Feliz’s line drive percentage was down to 6.7%. In September/October, it is down to 3.7%.
I like Feliz.

That is crazy
Less than 1 in every 25 people to put the ball in play hit a line drive off of him in Sept/Oct. That is dominance.

I could see a case being made for Austin Jackson
but really, with the saves record, I don’t see how he’s not voted ROY.
Hypothetical (and obviously one that won't happen, but an exercise to get our minds off it):
The Rangers go out in the first inning and tie the American League record by scoring 17 runs in the first. Obviously, they chase Price.
The bottom of the first rolls around. Do you still pitch Cliff? Or do you warm up Holland and save Cliff for Game 2?

I'd pitch Lee for
a few innings, 3 or 4. then he pitches game 4 if needed.
When you're drowning, you don't say 'I would be incredibly pleased if someone would have the foresight to notice me drowning and come and help me,' you just scream.
That is kind of a fun hypothetical.
Do you mess with a guy who has been warming up and preparing? Do you let Cliff throw a bullpen or maybe 6 IP? Do you pitch Lee game 2 or 4 ?
I don’t know how you get around the whole ‘nobody else is warm yet’ aspect and if Lee has to pitch even one inning, I’m not sure you can pitch him the next day. You’d have to make the decision sometime in the middle of the top of the inning just to get somebody warm.
Being able to move everybody back 1 slot and go 1-2-3 against their 2-3-4 is so very tempting though…

by GhettoBear04 on Oct 6, 2010 10:32 AM CDT up reply actions
I've long wondered about exactly this scenario
my favorite spin on it is the following:
Say you’re a national league team, and you bat around in the first inning. Can you “pinch hit” for your starting pitcher there and use another guy to pitch the bottom of the 1st? If so, why not always have the guy who started yesterday in the 9 hole of your lineup, just in case you bat around, and then you have a pitching change to start off the first…
Go Rice Owls!
In that case, why not name a pinch hitter as your starting pitcher in the lineup before every home game?
Then replace him at the beginning of the bottom of the inning w/ the guy you really want as your starter. MLB would frown on this, but I’m not sure there’s a rule that says you cannot substitute your pitcher before he throws a pitch. The team already played a half inning…
"I don't do a straight up Mitch for Butler" -- booyakasha
Then you would burn up a bench bat.
The only way this would make sense would be to use the starting pitcher from the day before. If they bat around, then you put in a bench bat to keep it going. If not, you sub him out with the real starting pitcher. The previous pitcher wasn’t going to pitch that day anyway.

But what if you need that pitch hitter for later?

exactly
you want to use a pitcher who you KNOW you won’t pitch. Since only in about 3% of the games will you actually ever need to use the pinch hitter.
I suspect there is some obscure rule against doing this… but I don’t know what it would be.
Go Rice Owls!

There are two ways this class can be graded:
Each of 3 tests at a certain percentage, or the first test gets thrown out (as long as I actually show up and take it) and the second and third tests are averaged for the final grade. Seems as though people historically do badly on this one anyway. I bet I’ll be going with that method.

I have a question. Which umpire will be calling CJ's game?
Welke is doing today’s, and he is pretty generous when it comes to giving the pitcher the calls. I was hoping CJ had Welke because that’s what he needs.
Kellogg is probably going to be the worst ump CJ could face.

Actually, it looks as if Bill Miller would be a great fit for CJ as well.

He’s at his best when gettin the borderline calls since he lives right around the corner so much. CJ would have been helped by him, but I think it might actually benefit Lee even more

Who here would leave whatever it is they are doing
and run to a TV if Lee has a no-no going in say the 5th inning? And I mean anything. Meeting, school, birth of first child….
What are we at the park for except to win? I'd trip my mother. I'd help her up, brush her off, tell her I'm sorry. But mother don't make it to third. ~Leo Durocher
TEXAS RANGERS PLAYOFF BASEBALL!!!!!
I just needed to get that off my chest
I'm getting nervous now.
I have to sit through this stupid conference call before I can leave, and I’m having trouble sitting still.

MLB Network just said that the Mets would like to talk to Jon Daniels
but that there was non way the Rangers would let that happen
Go Rice Owls!
Excellent
They apparently wanted to talk to the Marlins GM and his top two lieutenants and the Marlins told them to screw off.

i dont think there is anyway
Jon Daniels would let that happen…..why would he want to leave? He’s got the perfect gig right now.
A dumptruck full of money might help.

The Mets have a lot to offer.
This isn’t the Cleveland Indians. They have the resources, the new stadium, etc to be a powerful club. There is no reason that they can’t become as powerful an organization as the Red Sox.
That said, it is a risk for anyone. Failure obviously falls on the GM’s shoulders – you can’t point to excuses if you’re playing in New York. For someone like Daniels, who is assured a comfortable life already and, presumably, is safe in Texas for the long term so long as the team doesn’t fall off a cliff.
For Daniels, going to the Mets is like winning a couple thousand in Vegas and as you’re checking out of the hotel putting it all on a 2-1 bet on the roulette table. The guy who turns around the Mets will be revered at levels no Texas GM ever would be. However, failure would destroy his career… why take that risk?
Go Rice Owls!
They need to just hire Logan White and get out of his way

Looks like I'm going to be watching from my desk.
Just bought the MLB postseason thing.

If anyone is interested
the 12:00 siren test in Plano/Richardson is successful. Now get out of the way as (insert the poster’s name I forgot) drives like crazy to get home before 12:37
