Your JIC Rangers today are Adair, Bankston, Butler, Whittleman, Stoneburner and Garcia.
Who is Adair?
That's Rick Adair's Bitch!

He was ripping him under the guise of "Ranger catchers in general
need to make sure they get down and block pitches like that, especially with Salty out for an undetermined time."
He intimated that it was a very blockable (word?) pitch that got by TT.

Sounds like there are a lot more Mariner fans

People in here are always asking for spring training tips…My experience is that you’ll have better luck with the weather (it’s 55 degrees there today) if you go after March 15.

CJ just takes too many pitches. 23 through 1.1 already.
I know, I know, SSS and all that. This is ST, not the end of the world. Whatever.
Just saying he doesn’t look like he can get guys out quickly enough to start.

JBlake just lauded CJ for his efficiency.

He's really placing his pitches well today, though...
Nothing down the middle and he’s keeping his pitches down in the zone.
Gametracker shows him sitting a little low on velocity.
Maybe he took some off for better control?

90-93
from a lefty? I will take that. Its only his second start.

I haven't followed ST all that closely before this year
So the coming out a little slow on the gun thing might be the norm. I know Harden said it was for him.

30 pitches thru 2 innings now.
20 strikes, 10 balls. Not bad.

His second inning was better than his first. He only needed 12 pitches or so, I think.
Isn’t his average right around 17 as a reliever? That would be pretty much what he had in the first.

2:27: Wilson update: Thrown 30 pitches through two innings. Only issue: He’s thrown first-pitch strikes to only three of the seventh hitters he has faced. On the plus side: He’s retired six in a row since a game-starting single by Ichiro Suzuki, who can hit a little.
Really working hard not to compliment CJ there. Black lining on a silver cloud kind of thing.

does CJ have control issues or does he toy around too much on the mound? Either way, he needs to be able to go after guys with his FB if he wants to start.
How many ST starts does CJ get to prove ..
.. that he can start?

Chuck Greenberg on the sale process
Everything is going smoothly. It’s obviously a very complicated transaction. Any deal of any size there are always complexities and matters that have to be solved right up to the moment of being done. So far, nothing remarkable has happened or failed to happen. Everything is right on course and I feel great about it.

3:01: Ladies and gentlemen, we have deception. After a handful of blah breaking balls, Neftali Feliz fired off a 79-mph curve for a swing-and-miss by Franklin Gutierrez for final strike of the fourth. Feliz struck out the side, getting MIlton Bradley and Casey Kotchman on 98 mph propane (that’s natural gas, folks). He also got a swing on a changeup. Kotchman fouled it off. Talking to Mike Maddux this morning, the impression I got was not so much that Feliz has regressed with the secondary stuff, but that he’s reached a plateau and everybody in the Rangers’ clubhouse is waiting for next step forward.

3:21: Did Feliz lose focus in second inning of work? He got into a little one-out trouble, but threw four fastballs at 97 mph or better to get Ichiro Suzuki to pop out to left field for second out. But it seemed like after getting the “dangerous” hitter, his mind wandered. He walked Chone Figgins on four pitches to load the bases, hit Milton Bradley with a bad breaking pitch to force in one run and then left a 97 mph fastball in the Mike Sweeney’s hitting zone. Sweeney turned it into a three-run double.
.
3:38: More knee-jerking on Feliz’s first two innings. Thought the fastball was fabulous. The breaking stuff was inconsistent. And the changeup, which he threw in the 87-90 range, completely ineffective.
Is he implying the speed of the change makes it ineffective?
Because that’s horribly wrong.

@bigleaguestew RT @AnswerDave: Milton Bradley in a bad mood after getting hit and leaving the game. He didn’t take questions. No yelling, but anger.

LoneStarDugout Alexi Ogando is very very legitimate. Even better stuff than his first time out.
"I was going to say, 'You’re gay for Elvis.' But then I realized that I, too, am gay for Elvis." ~Adam J. Morris.
so I assume he's a lock for the 40. I wonder if he can sneak into the bullpen
probably not without injury
40 or waived

i would think Ogando and Beltre are both locks for the 40
we would just need to clear up one spot which seems that Mendoza would be a likely candidate to be traded etc
A baseball game is simply a nervous breakdown divided into nine innings.

Ogando has a much better feel for pitching than I anticipated. I’d be surprised if he’s not in the big leagues this year.

I think he’s just done too much overreacting to what he perceives as excessive hype. Andrus almost won ROY, and he seems to think that Rangers fans think he’s a superstar, and with all of the interest and intrigue surrounding the exiles, he seemed to be thinking that the question he was answering is whether they are elite prospects, not whether they could be intriguing potential relievers.

OK. So I’m your typical die hard rangers fan. Not quite the caliber of the LSB die hard fan. Where can I go to get more information regarding baseball slang? TORP, LOOGY, etc. Also, is there a good website that can explain advanced stats? Thanks

fangraphs.com is for the sybermetric side

As far as general baseball slang,,,

or

There are a few good starter stat collections
Lookout Landing did a good review starting from the ground up. It’s a series of 24 posts at the Mariners version of LSB. A table of contents (of sorts) can be found here.
FanGraphs is probably the site used by most here as far as accessing advanced metrics. They also have a blog in addition to being a database with a group of pretty good contributors talking about a variety of issues from a statistical point of view.

I need to go read that whole site after seeing this:
David Eckstein is 4’10" and appears to suffer from borderline albinism. Despite this, he is a mediocre MLB shortstop. After he throws the ball to first base, it looks like he needs to lie down from exhaustion.
