? of the day
Do the Rangers keep Snyder, send him back to the Orioles or work out a trade with the O’s.

They would have to work something out with the giants since that was his original team. It was the orioles pick we got in the millwood deal

You can see why the Rangers have stuck with Michael Ortiz when watching him drive the ball in BP. Only played 1 year of high school ball.
Who is this Ortiz guy?

Since Feldman did the other day.
Is 2010 our year??
EG
MESA, Ariz. – We’ve got a sellout crowd on a beautiful day at HoHoKam Park. And already we’ve got news. Chad Tracy was scratched from the lineup due to not arriving on time. Apparently, the teams agreed to use the DH at the last minute and the Rangers couldn’t transport Tracy from Surprise to Mesa in time. Justin Smoak is the DH.
.
3:10: Apparently neither Ron Washington nor Mike Maddux have arrived yet either due to traffic after a “B” game the Royals. Waiting for results on that one. They are in the van with Tracy.
Driving from Surprise to Mesa
is a bitch. Not surprised they are late

Jurickson Profar even selective in BP. Just took a two minute video with only about 10 swings. Doesn’t swing at anything he doesn’t like.

Feliz-Tea
with a strike’em out/throw’em out?
(Wife) "So what do you want to watch on the T.V.? UFC or porn?"
(Husband) "Hmm... well, porn, I guess."
EG
3:20: There is no visible radar gun at HoHoKam Park, so velocity readings will come later, if at all. But you didn’t need a radar gun to feel good about Neftali Feliz’s first inning. After an eight-pitch at-bat that resulted in a leadoff single by Ryan Theriot, Feliz unveiled his best secondary stuff of the spring. He got a called strike on what appeared to be a changeup away to left-handed hitting Kosuke Fukudome for Strike Two, then overpowered him with a fastball. He got ahead of Xavier Nady 0-and-2 with a changeup, then got him to swing at what appeared to be another change for a third strike. But Taylor Teagarden got the ball to second in plenty of time to catch Theriot stealing.
geez
I could have swore Blake said it was K looking against Nady. I would really like to know what is actually going on
""It was a ball, dude," Davis said. "I don’t swing at balls anymore." -CD
i forgot Nady signed with the Cubs
(Wife) "So what do you want to watch on the T.V.? UFC or porn?"
(Husband) "Hmm... well, porn, I guess."
Yeah, said something about Davis going to his right to cut off SS Arias.
I was like, “WTF, Davis is playing 2nd?”
Ryan Theriot?

Fontenot
went to a full count – I believe at 8 pitches – swinging strike out
""It was a ball, dude," Davis said. "I don’t swing at balls anymore." -CD
He's never going to have his offspeed stuff come around

Sorry
I figured everyone knew where I stood on making a reliever permanently.
by Brett Perryman on Mar 16, 2010 3:44 PM CDT up reply actions
No
I just want them to allow it to play out. Allow him to attempt to develop his full repertoire however possible. Just for example, Eric Gagne became a closer at age 26. You don’t give up on guys with the kind of potential he shows at age 22 or 23.
by Brett Perryman on Mar 16, 2010 4:20 PM CDT up reply actions
I don't understand why anybody would think that
we saw his offspeed stuff in the majors last year. He struck out his first two guys on nasty offspeed stuff
""It was a ball, dude," Davis said. "I don’t swing at balls anymore." -CD
He's thrown a lot of pitches
but the stuff is there. He’s going to have to be more efficient if he wants to start this year.
Um
he really hasn’t thrown a lot of pitches
""It was a ball, dude," Davis said. "I don’t swing at balls anymore." -CD
how many pitches has he thrown?
gameday is no help…
What is this, Horseville? Because I'm surrounded by naysayers.
sorry
you would think I would have a number with my statement. But I imagine that he’s around 15 each inning. Anybody else think that is about right?
""It was a ball, dude," Davis said. "I don’t swing at balls anymore." -CD
He went deep into the count
with a couple of batters. I don’t think the numbers are horrible but he hasn’t been amazingly efficient either.
EG
16 pitches for Feliz in first inning. 16 more in second. Not bad at all, considering the guy has four strikeouts.
"There's not a man alive who can whup me. I'm too fast. I'm too smart. I'm too pretty. I should be a postage stamp. That's the only way I'll ever get licked." --Muhammad Ali
So that would be 110 in 6 or 7 innings.
With these results, you’re going to win most of the time with that.
I’ll take it.
4 k's one hit through 2 innings

It is pretty apparent
that as great as Feliz’ fastball is, his success is pretty much tied to his offspeed stuff.
Stick around for more crazy insights from yours truly.

Boggsie!!!
From the morning “B” game: Luis Mendoza allowed five hits in 1.2 innings of work, but the Rangers took an early lead and beat Kansas City 6-3. Brandon Boggs had a homer and five RBIs for the Rangers. Pedro Strop allowed a homer, two hits, a walk and two runs in one inning of work.
"There's not a man alive who can whup me. I'm too fast. I'm too smart. I'm too pretty. I should be a postage stamp. That's the only way I'll ever get licked." --Muhammad Ali
Fukudome
2-0, Fukudome gets a double on a liner over third (hitting it the other way). Good pitch by Feliz though on outisde corner
Runners on 2nd and 3rd.
""It was a ball, dude," Davis said. "I don’t swing at balls anymore." -CD
Looking at about a 65 pitch count for Feliz today
About on pace for that if he can get Nady here.

Arias is playing second
Elvis is playing SS
""It was a ball, dude," Davis said. "I don’t swing at balls anymore." -CD
feliz probably around 20 pitches this inning
""It was a ball, dude," Davis said. "I don’t swing at balls anymore." -CD
the "put-away" problem Blake is describing
the OKC radio guy would regularly mention the same thing when Feliz used to start there
for someone who consistently gets ahead
he does need to put people away a bit easier. but it’s not that he’s walking guys. He’s just not throwing strikes in pitcher’s counts and keeps getting shelled when he has to throw strikes.
He’ll figure it out, he’s just a bit predictable right now.
""It was a ball, dude," Davis said. "I don’t swing at balls anymore." -CD
That's the thing.
He’s got a very clear problem, but what causes the problem is something that generally improves instead of a bad sign.
Hoffpauir
fastball 0-1 (looking)
ball 1-1

EG
Four straight two-out hits for Feliz in the third. Coincides with second time facing hitters. Coincidence? Probably not.
he's wrong
if that were the case, they wouldn’t consistently get behind in the count.
""It was a ball, dude," Davis said. "I don’t swing at balls anymore." -CD
Of course not

When is a realistic time
for Feliz to be in the rotation for good, start of next season? Sometime this year?
my better is better than your better.
I think it depends.
I would say last third of this season at the earliest, opening day 2011 at the latest.
I’m not a source or an expert.
Yeah I agree
it depends on a lot of factors, including his development and injuries/ineffectiveness of others. I was just wondering if there was an accepted time frame for that, but I would guess about the same as you
my better is better than your better.
I would really prefer
that Felix go to AAA and work as a SP. That would be the best in the longterm for the team and Feliz. Let Nippert assume the role Feliz had in the pen last year and BMac can be the long RP.

Omar Beltre in now
strikes out Soriano
""It was a ball, dude," Davis said. "I don’t swing at balls anymore." -CD
Grant
3:54: The third inning may tell the tale on Feliz. He gets first two outs easily, then faces top of the order for the second time. Four straight two-out hits, resulting in three runs, follow. That right there will cancel out the impressive work from the first two innings.
You’re wrong
""It was a ball, dude," Davis said. "I don’t swing at balls anymore." -CD
Not that I'm disagreeing with you ...
but does anybody know why Grant wants to see Feliz in the Pen?
"Ok, post your favorite moment of the Tom Hicks era
Mine is today when he sold the team." - t ball
because he thinks a reliever is more valuable
and that Feliz should be helping the big league club this year instead of developing into a starter

Is that something he's actually said?

But it was an actual statement from Jean-Jacques
"Dying ain't hard. It’s living in the wake of a thorough public humiliation that’s hard.--JDT217
the team may suggest slants for his writing
if the club has already decided more or less that Feliz is starting the year outside the rotation
announcers talking about only one hard hit ball
Fukudome barely hit it, and the other two were slow up the middle (Byrd ball easily could have been had by Feliz)
""It was a ball, dude," Davis said. "I don’t swing at balls anymore." -CD
That last part made no sense to me whatsoever.
I had to read it three or four times to figure out what you were trying to say.
Then I remembered Marlon Byrd is a Cub. . .
So, just got home, check the box and see we're getting pwned by Carlos Silva?

basically I heard from a good source but really cannot beleive it. There is suppose to be a story out about it soon but what I heard basically is that Wash somehow tested positive for cocaine and Steve Buechele was going to replace him as manager.
Yes I know Buechele has only been a manager for 2 years and yes I know managers do not get drug tested…..
so thats why I took it down…..
They said Wash was late for the game because he was stuck
in traffic (he had been watching the B game).

maybe we can just change it to
“Believe it or not, now you’ll be bitching about the bats.”
What is this, Horseville? Because I'm surrounded by naysayers.
Wilson has another K
up to 5
""It was a ball, dude," Davis said. "I don’t swing at balls anymore." -CD
K #5 for C.J. with 8 batters faced.

and now CJ gives up a homer to someone named Baker
""It was a ball, dude," Davis said. "I don’t swing at balls anymore." -CD
I know this is ST and all
but what our batters are doing today against the pitchers the Cubs are throwing out there is the Urban Dictionary definition of teh suck.

Wilson out of the inning
still very manageable pitch count
""It was a ball, dude," Davis said. "I don’t swing at balls anymore." -CD
Knock on wood...
Wilson needs eight pitches for third inning, which included his first mistake of game. He threw a lousy, hanging breaking pitch to Jeff Baker on an 0-and-1 count. Baker homered. Wilson has five strikeouts, no walks and has thrown only 34 pitches in three innings.

OMG....
@ItsTopCat Jeff "Home Run’’ Baker just went deep on C.J. Keep Wilson in the bullpen. He and Feliz better in short bursts.

Justin Smoak is so bored with spring training pitching
He intentionally gives himself a 0-2 handicap each AB just for giggles
