Big thanks!

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?'

For those of you who have been out here, what time do the minor league games start every day?

We’re at the big league game today but we’re thinking about watching the minors tomorrow instead of going to Peoria for the big game.

Love me some Spring Training baseball!

So many questions still to be answered….

Who is our 4th and 5th starters opening day?

Who will we trade for to be our UI guy? Or is he already on the roster?

Who sticks in the pen and who doesn’t?

Will Feliz and Holland start in the minors?

Rabble rabble rabble!

panic, rabble!

So much energy is wasted overanalyzing individual mid-ST performances. Not saying I know what to expect from Lewis, but the conclusions from the last start were silly. Mike Rhyner never even mentioned him as a rotation option in his mind the other day when they discussed candidates. That made him no better than eighth or ninth.

by Brett Perryman on Mar 20, 2010 3:42 PM CDT reply actions  

I heard that too

It must have just slipped his mind right? I mean, he can’t honestly think Lewis is that far down on the list of options can he?

by #5withabullet on Mar 20, 2010 3:43 PM CDT up reply actions  

He might have just been forgetting him

I just found it illustrative of the general attitude I heard a lot of this week, which was that Lewis would be nowhere near a rotation of the five best starters, if that was the actual basis.

I think it's somewhere in the middle

and I think some are a little quick to go overboard as far as what to expect from him as a starter, but it’s also clear that he’s matured and that he is benefiting from that on the mound.

by Brett Perryman on Mar 20, 2010 3:52 PM CDT up reply actions  

i was going to say that nobody really panicked over colby

but i now remember a ton of people saying that colby shouldn’t have been guaranteed anything and adam and other having to tell them that colby was definitely going to be a starter

whatever. no different than any other year. people will always react to spring training. every year we get new rangers fans on the board and every year they do the same thing. at least it’s not the same people making those mistakes year to year

by ab03 on Mar 20, 2010 3:47 PM CDT up reply actions  

On this

First, you’re right about that last part. It is what it is.

As far as Lewis in particular, I can understand that people are hanging on every piece of evidence with him, since he is such an unknown. I just heard a lot of the same basic idea this week, that he doesn’t need to be in the rotation, given all of their positive options. And while there was obviously some of that before, and a few were very vocal about it, my sense has been that a good number of fence sitters were ready to pick a side to commit to after that game. And his performance just didn’t warrant that, imo, even if you are willing to take one ST start and run with it. At any rate, just like I don’t think last time should have been looked at closely, I don’t think much should be read into his success today. He’s shown a good slider and gotten quite a few swings and misses with that, but I just think we won’t have much of an idea of what to expect until we see at least 2-3 regular season starts from him.

by Brett Perryman on Mar 20, 2010 4:05 PM CDT up reply actions  

There is a lot we can take from ST performances

but you just can’t make the mistake of forgetting that these guys are still working on getting in regular season shape and working out the kinks. Especially the more veteran players like Lewis.

By 2028, Mark Teixeira will be in the HOF.

I lived like a mile north of there..

about ten years ago and worked out there then, but also when I would come back to town I’d stay up in that area and work out there and then Chik-Fil-A across the street usually after most work outs. I went by there a couple months ago to do a work out and it was all closed up. I was bummed, I liked that gym with the basketball court in the middle and all that but I had a feeling it was going to close because all the equipment was so old.

Yeah,

it was a dump in the end. It was nice back in the day though. It used to have a pool inside that thing believe it or not. Actually, when I was in jr. high (early 90’s), it used to be called “The Carrollton Athletic Club,” and they had this thing called ‘Friday Night Live’ where there was a dj and pizza and stuff. It was off the chain. I met my first girlfriend there. Kim Morrison. Ahhh. Those were the days.

by Cecilio's Guante on Mar 20, 2010 4:30 PM CDT up reply actions  

I probably won't remember the worst stuff

since I stopped keeping a mental list, but a few that come to mind:

1. Newberry is more concerned about the utility infielder than the catching position (he will still be talking about Vizquel five years from now if he’s still on the radio)

2. Bacsik compared Matt Harrison to this point with Jamey Moyer – all feel and finesse, no stuff or velocity

3. Bacsik acknowledged that Rangers people actually told him this past week that they would not just cut McCarthy, as he assured everyone last week would happen later in ST, but he reasserted that ‘sometimes teams do that when they owe someone a million dollars who won’t make the team’ and noted that Chuck Greenberg doesn’t own the team yet, the suggestion being that maybe MLB would force them to cut him.

4. 90 mph – which is what Bacsik claimed Holland’s sat at last year (fangraphs says 92.5) – is a power fastball for a lefty

Newberry had a few others that I don’t recall. Basically every single thing he said was idiotic.

I’ve never heard Pantera at a fireworks show. I’ve heard Pantera lots.

I was about to say

“never heard pantera” was a tad confusing.

A little Stevie Ray never hurt anyone, of course.

The first one, pretty much.

Never heard them play Pantera during a fireworks show, but they play “Walk” sometimes when a Rangers player walks. That’s the only Pantera I’ve ever heard at the ballpark.

Ready for some baseball.

Ugh, another one of these on Gameday:

Andre Ethier singles on a ground ball to second baseman Esteban German

What does it take for the Rangers to get a decent UI? I’m becoming increasingly concerned about giving away runs and possibly games if one of our infielders go down for an extended period. Namely Kins.

I wonder

what it’d take to get Chin-Lung Hu from the Dodgers. He has no place on their team and would be a pretty good glove for an UI.

Oh, horsedooty reminded me of another Bacsik gem

He said that Arias’ weak throwing is because of poor footwork. Never mind the fact that before he injured it, he had a plus-plus arm and made some amazing throws despite that poor footwork.

by Brett Perryman on Mar 20, 2010 5:00 PM CDT reply actions  

You're infuriating me....stop.

I can’t believe that clown has a job in radio. The fact that he knows more about basketball than baseball infuriates me.

I think he really works hard on analyzying some basketball but he is real lazy when it comes to baseball bc since he played, he thinks he knows it all.

Effn Hack.
