T.R. Sullivan on pending roster moves
by Adam J. Morris on May 13, 2010 5:41 PM CDT

PrintT.R. Sullivan says the Rangers expect to activate Nelson Cruz tomorrow, with Ryan Garko being optioned, and then activate Joaquin Arias over the weekend, with Craig Gentry being optioned.
I still don't really understand why a team would want Joaquin Arias to be part of its four man bench when it already has Andres Blanco, since the list of things Arias does better than Blanco seems to be limited to "hit singles," and there's not much call for a pinch hitter with no power or plate discipline on the team.
On the other hand, someone has to be the 25th man.

Yeah, it's a matter of time
and I think they’re just calling him up until they figure out a longer term solution.
Ceterum censeo, Ron Washington esse delendam
Cruz
It will be so awesome to see him again. Seems like forever.
I’m kind of surprised they didn’t bring up a pitcher for at least a few days.
This reminds me
I didn’t like seeing Smoak pinch run for today. The winning run was on 3rd, Smoak on 1st at the time, so it’s not like you were depending on him to score from 1st, or steal to get in scoring position. And if the game goes on (which it did, of course) I want Smoak at the plate, not Gentry or Garko.
Ceterum censeo, Ron Washington esse delendam
that's what is confusing me
on a 6-4-3 it’s the batter’s speed that might spoil the DP – mostly
Is the small chance Gentry’s speed will make a difference worth losing Smoak from the lineup? not so sure
Garko hasn't been good
but Arias just doesn’t fill a roster need. IF Kinsler was still injured then Arias would be the best choice. Its sorta bad that we don’t have the right option, unless its maybe MaxRam but then we need a catcher. Maybe Gentry and Arias get optioned and we call up Richardson.
What do voluntary mean?
The dude abides.....
Arias is out of options
And with Kinslers fragile health history and the fact we have Davis down in AAA we have a much more pressing need for a 2nd MIF type than a backup 1B
Bryan Smith (12:17:17 PM PT): Justin Smoak and Josh Hamilton. The AL West might just have found their Bash Brothers, v. 2.0.
rarely, if ever...it was a dumb move on Wash's part.

good point
didn’t notice that as I was quickly checking on the game. I’m not sure I still don’t feel that way, though.
Ceterum censeo, Ron Washington esse delendam
I didn't like it either
9 times out of 10 a pinch runner won’t make a difference in breaking up a double play unless the hit and run is on anyway (or he’s stealing, as mentioned above).
"We are no longer a ride at Six Flags, we are in contention to do some things that will make our lives complete. I have been waiting for this for a long time." - Chuck Morgan
ok
you’re also negating the fact that gentry might have had the steal sign to get out of the double play
also the fact that after that out, they probably would have put gentry in anyway since he would have been the tying run at second. this is really just bitching for bitching
no
The fact that David Murphy was thrown out at home doesn’t make this move okay.

"might have had the steal sign"
but he clearly didn’t

I'm not saying I don't understand the reasoning, or why it was done
I’m just saying I don’t like it. I’d rather take the chance and have the hitter I want. I understand Washington’s reasoning, and I am not calling him out for making a bad move. I would have considered leaving the bat in the game, though.
Ceterum censeo, Ron Washington esse delendam
it seems odd that with a runner on third and less than 2 outs in the bottom of the 9th
you have to think about what’s going to happen in the 11th. you should play for the win right then. getting out of the double play makes that happen.
i understand you’re not really complaining as loudly as others but there are plenty of people that are doing it and it is annoying. there are good reasons to complain about wash. he actually did nothing wrong on thursday.
Partly, it's a reaction
to the difficulty they had driving in runners today. I also thought of it the other day in a similar situation. I realize, also, that if Smoak is left in and then thrown out, everyone would have been calling for Washington’s head.
Ceterum censeo, Ron Washington esse delendam
This situation brings up the question of
whether you continue to pinch run for Smoak in a year or two when he develops in two a top of the lineup hitter? To me, it’s obvious you don’t. Even now, the only time you should PR for him should be when he’s the lead runner with one or no outs in a very close game. In a game where one solo HR can end the game, the drop off between Garko and Smoak’s offense is too much to lose. Ultimately, it’s a judgment call that requires a smart manager to make an educated decision, and currently, I don’t trust Wash to make those decisions.
After reading Jamey's email this morning
I’m more convinced that my gut reaction was right.
Ceterum censeo, Ron Washington esse delendam
Thats what I was thinking
Since they had Arias working 1b in frisco, he’s now the backup 1b/2b and pinch runner for smoak
"I'm against picketing, but I don't know how to show it." - Mitch Hedberg
I was kind of hoping Max would be the new backup 1B

As much as I love beer, I've never indulged into microbrewing.
I work with a guy that talks to me about it all the time and it sounds like a lot of fun, but I just don’t have the space to do it.
When did you start up?
by lost in space on May 13, 2010 6:25 PM CDT up reply actions
8 years ago, after getting kicked out of the Air Force Academy
I figured it was a cheap way to drink, and had seen my cousins doing it when I was younger; after an initial $65 investment, you can make 60 pints of beer (16 oz each) for $25; and it’s a lot tastier – and you’re a lot more proud of it – than buying a 24 pack of ‘stones, not that there’s anything wrong with that.
I live in a condo; not too big, and you can get away with the very basic form of brewing (from kits) or even progress to the next step (partial grain brewing); but you’ll need a garage and/or giant patio surface for a propane system to do all-grain. I have never done all-grain, and I’ve been very satisfied to date so far.

I found a Honey Porter recipe on line several years back…. easy and very delicious. I like my beers a little darker than most, though. I made this one four or five times and it always came out perfectly.

That's decent, but towards the bottom of the pecking order.
The DogfishHead lineup is a good place to start. The 60 is the “light” one. The 90min is what I do for desert. The 120 is an aging beer; very special stuff.
Lots of specialty IPAs out there these days .. HopHenge, HopDevil. All good stuff.

It's a good starting place.
Stone is getting wider and wider distribution (they carry it at HEB now), which is a good thing. They make very solid beer and are most known for their IPAs and heavy/dark beers.
Harpoon makes one that they sell on tap at Fenway and tastes great there…but I found it in the grocery store and it wasn’t anywhere near as good out of the bottle.

No problem.
It seems like the more people get into beer, the more they get into IPAs and/or Stouts. Some get into Trippels and Sours, but not quite as many.

Start at your local liquor store. Their normal lines are pretty popular. La Fin Du Monde (The End of the World) is my favorite. I’m pretty sure that they’re unfiltered, so I wouldn’t recommend getting drunk off them.
Their anniversary beers (which I’m not even positive they do any more) can be difficult to get a hold of.

Stone is one of my favorites for a few reasons:
1) It’s a sharp, no-nonsense IPA – I like a crisp IPA
2) Frankie’s and other bars have it, allowing me to pass on “water beer”
3) Their bottle work – as a homebrewer – is appreciated; I like to reuse my bottles; and theirs, especially the Ruination IPA bottle, are pretty nice looking when bottling my IPAs

OT bengie molina
sorry if this was discussed earlier but anyway…
saw on yahoo a blurb about molina (who btw is a good player) upset with ESPN for making fun of him. i don’t watch espn so i missed the sportscenter. youtube has the clip here
basically, he thrown out at home on a play that most players would have beat by a mile. they show the highlight with chariots of fire as background music (after calling him fleet footed). i don’t think he was dogging it, i believe he was running his ass off. face it, he’s a big guy, a catcher.
more evidence that ESPN is garbage.
He was running his ass off, but his milky titties were bouncing all over the place

why does it make a difference if they win or lose? In fact, just the opposite could be true. LeBron gives Cleveland their title and then he leaves for the big bucks…

The emoting? I dunno.
I guess that leads to the ‘skins on the wall’ argument. Different times for sure. The media overflow on Jordan definitely was a major contributor to the athlete we see today. ESPN at the forefront.
I can’t imagine Jordan doing the stuff that pissed off Noah either. The posing from that team with ‘Bron in the starring role became a bore(especially when you ain’t won nothing).
Another factor is Jordan came to national prominence winning a national title as a 19 year old. Heady stuff for sure. But James was an SI coverboy at what, 16? Destined for an ego. Probably would affect most in the same way.

Looking at Shroom’s site, Moscoso went yesterday and threw 100 pitches. Don’t know how I had Monday.
So he’s unavailable, and there’s nobody on the 40 besides Scheppers/Ogando they could call up to be a fresh arm – and they’re prolly not quite ready to bring one of those two up just yet, especially Ogando.

Scheppers isn't on the 40 yet
Although cutting Garko opens up a spot
Bryan Smith (12:17:17 PM PT): Justin Smoak and Josh Hamilton. The AL West might just have found their Bash Brothers, v. 2.0.
Keep forgetting that.

Why option Garko first?
Why not just DFA him and then outright him when he clears waivers?
He has options I believe
But has to be run through waivers before being optioned
I think however what was meant was he is being DFAd and thus released. I don’t know where he would play down in OKC

Am I retired from baseball? Yes. Am I retired from life? Not even close.
That quote makes me hate him more than ever.
I would like to retire his hair from life

See the video of him crushing a giant HR in a softball game?
It was mammoth… although it’s slow-pitch and the arc of the pitch looked a lot like the arc on his HR.
Sorta reminds me of any time
somebody pounds Padzilla’s loopy curve, see Jay Bruce.
Remember to retire Fin's number, Mark.
