Well, so much for going undefeated this season.
I'm ready for Vernon Wells to go away.

Wow are the bats really that bad?
Rangers offense looking pretty bad against mediocre pitching.
9 strikeouts including way too many looking. Hamilton 6 k’s in 7 AB’s. What is going on…
Also, way too many walks by the pitching staff. Absolutely unacceptable.
This
also, folks who expect dramatic changes to hitters because of a hitting coach change will be disappointed I think.

Well,
I don’t think the hitters will be worse with Hurdle. I just don’t expect them to be any better.
Or maybe some will get better and some will get worse.

I expected some less-than-dramtic change because of regression to the mean and pulling their heads out of their asses.
I’m willing to accept I might be disappointed.
Now that,
I could buy. Obviously either CD is gonna improve or we are gonna see his ass benched or sent to AAA and Smoak replacing him, and changes like that. One of the Catchers will start hitting, or we will see a FA acquisition if we are still in it at the ASB, and Greenberg owns the team. Etc.
I just don’t think that walk rates are gonna spike all of a sudden because Rudy is gone and Hurdle is here. I think anyone who expects that will likely be let down.

Said it once in the gameday thread
But that was a really discouraging game, because they did the opposite of everything they said they worked on and talked about during spring training.
It’s only one game and all, but that was really, really demoralizing from that standpoint.

These are the times when I find being logical to be hard.
I know I should see that as a small sample size, but I just can’t stop seeing it as the herald of a bad team.
Thank god Frasor wasn’t hitting his spots like that last night.
I'm going to have another beer, and try not to think about it.
Tomorrow I’m going to run some lineups through John Beamer’s Markov spreadsheet, and hope that will cheer me up.
Because as many times as I tell myself, “it’s just one game,” I can’t get Hamilton’s last AB out of my mental video player.
Hell, I'm on straight Bourbon at this point.
It still doesn’t help, BTW.

The problem is really just one of emotion and excitement.
Last year the offense was awesome in the first series and ended up mediocre. An awesome start this year would still just be a small sample size, but seeing them come out of the gate with disciplined approaches would just make me feel good.
Yup.
Rationally, I don’t think two games implies Hamilton’s doomed to repeat last season. But, damn.
Yes
Hamilton is a drug addict.
I’ve known lots of drug addicts and they never get over it.
I said that when they traded for him.
When my Red’s fan brother chided me in the summer of ‘08 when he was kickin’ ass, I told him that I DON’T TRUST HIM, HE’S a DRUG ADDICT.

I made it clear
I hate Hamilton and I have since they traded for him.
All he has done is prove me right for the last 21 months.
All you guys blindly kiss his ass like he’s a god. Even when he relapsed!!!
I know drug addicts and they suck, period.
Sorry, I don't mean this
It’s just ignorant for you to generalize drug addicts into one group of person. Everyone deserves second chances.
Drugs are terrible
People who fall into drug addiction are not.
You say you hate Hamilton because he’s a drug addict, you know some drug addicts, and those drug addicts suck.
That is ignorant as hell.
Since when is drug addiction a race?
I will send you pictures of my kids if you want to see race.
Drug addiction is a choice the rest of us don’t have to live with.
I'm pretty sure addiction isn't a choice.
Using at first is, but I’m fairly certain addiction is the opposite of a choice.
Why is drug use different than other mistakes people make?
Or are you unforgiving of anyone who takes a wrong step in their life?

Also, I do, in fact, think he should be given a free pass to suck.
He’s an inspirational story that makes my heart well up with tears of white joy. And his tats are cool. That’s more important than the Rangers winning baseball games.
I’m just not sure what the pass would look like. Like a coupon? A hall pass maybe? Or maybe a card, like a membership thing he could carry in his wallet.
David Murphy is my inspiration

Ham is .278/.340/.454 21 HR 89 RBI in 648 PA’s since the 2008 AS Game.

The run shall be disallowed if the ejaculation is a direct or indirect result of third-party stimulation, not limited to physical or audible factors, unless the stimulation in question is provided by the parent’s spouse before the first-party has fallen asleep

"I don't really like pitchers." - Nelson Cruz
Kind of worrisome.
That our next three pitchers include a guy who is making his first regular season start in several years, a guy that has been playing in Japan for past couple of seasons and a guy that was out for most of last season. Bullpen could be stretched out might quickly.
So Harden had a game almost exactly like that early last year.
And I’m not expecting him to be any better than he was last year. So there’s some hope.
He showed some really great stuff in the first few innings
He just needs to harness it, and I’m confident he will at some point. His meltdown in the 4th leaves a bad taste, but I’m still happy to have a guy with that kind of stuff in our rotation.
Ron Washington is: The Bad Manager - Port of Call New Orleans
That change was nasty.
But so many fastballs up in the zone. He’s got to fix that. I’m still optimistic.
It was weird
because he was commanding that change at least decently. Why was he pumping fastballs when he was in trouble?
"If the Saints can reach the Superbowl, the Rangers can reach the World Series." - PhilKid
The Animated Ballpark in Arlington
My guess is he felt like he needed to rely on the fastball, not least to set up the change
and keep the batters honest on it. And the velocity on the fastball didn’t look terrible, based on what they were showing on the broadcast.
He just couldn’t ever get the handle on it. That’s going to happen, I’d guess, based on his track record…
His slider
was decent too. I don’t know, maybe he’ll figure it out and become Super Rich Harden.

I kinda got the feeling he was out there overthrowing his fastball most of tonight
Trying to get his velocity back up after basically pitching at 75% the entire spring.
Just a layman’s guess, really, but he sure seemed like he was overthrowing, especially in the 4th.

Toronto good.
They’re not going to be good.
The extent of their offseason was: Bye-Bye Halladay.. and that’s it.
So they had a bad offseason, therefore they are going to suck?
I guess the Dodgers, who lost Wolf and didn’t sign any top-tier FA’s, are going to suck too?
Well, when you're bad the previous year, and have a bad offseason,
then yeah.
When you’re good the previous year, and have a less bad offseason, then… no, I guess.

OK, I'll play along.
Let’s assume they are in the NL. (I know, I know, I didn’t specify that in my previous statement; I just said another division. But of course 3 of the other 5 divisions are in the NL, so roll with me.)
The average (e.g. 81-81) NL team would win 70 games in the AL, according to DriveLine Mechanics.
The Jays are projected to win 72 games per PECOTA, and that is in the AL East, the toughest division in baseball. That projection may be a little bearish if Toronto’s pitchers that did next to nada in 2009 (Marcum, McGowan, Litsch) rebound to relative health.
So the Jays would be about an 82-win team in the NL.
Toronto will struggle mightily to win 75 games this year.

Disagree.
I think they’re most likely last in the AL West, too, just closer to the top than they are in the East. And the Central I think they’ve only go the Royals to compete with.
Nope.
I wouldn’t be surprised if the Indians manage to finish worse, but if the season’s played 100 times, I’d bet the Indians finish better than the Blue Jays in at least 50 of them.

Also, proud of this: Last season after that amazing Hamilton walk-off home run. She had to go back to the stadium bc she left a shirt there (she bought a Saltalamacchia jersey). On her way back, a man asked her “Do you know how to spell the name on the back of your jersey, there?” She spelled it perfectly… to Nolan Ryan! Got her ticket signed and everything. Awesome

The fun is increased by the fact that this is baseball,
and even the best teams lose ~60 games a year. And yet Harrelson takes every loss like a personal insult.
Come to think of it, he’d fit right into LSB GDTs…
I take losses like an insult at this point in the year.
At this point, wins and losses are still rare, like football. Once a couple weeks have gone by it’s possible for me to go about my life when the Rangers lose.

Vernon Wells
The Rangers just shouldn’t pitch to him. Maybe beam him 1st time up toda and IBB him the rest of the game. 3 HR’s in 2 games. Don’t give him anything to hit. Other the Wells and Hill, the Blue jays haven’t done anything with the bats in the series. Vernon accounted for 3 runs last night and Harden accounted for for 2 with walks with the bases loaded. Take Vernon out and tak out the walks, Rangers should win. If the Jays are laying off amd being patient at the plate, pound the strike zone and get ahead of the hitters first.
