Wednesday a.m. Rangers stuff

Print8.5 games up now in the A.L. West. BP puts the Rangers' odds of making the playoffs at 92.73%. This is very good.
Jeff Wilson's game story talks about Cliff Lee being Cliff Lee, despite the offense not providing much run support in his four starts as a Ranger.
T.R. Sullivan has quotes from Nelson Cruz and Michael Young, raving about Lee's performance.
Evan Grant breaks down Lee's pitches from last night, saying that Lee's strategy is simple: command his fastball and throw quality strikes.
Richard Durrett has post-game reactions at the ESPN Dallas blog.
Gil Lebreton has a column up on the greatness of Cliff Lee.
In non-Cliff Lee news, Anthony Andro's notes discuss the imminent decision on Rich Harden, who has indicated he's ready to return to the majors in the wake up his latest rehab start. The Rangers could activate him on Friday and have him start in place of Scott Feldman, who, were that to happen, would presumably go to the bullpen.
The Rangers' website's notes includes news on the signing of second round pick Cody Buckel, and Julio Borbon's return to the lineup.
T.R. Sullivan has an update on the Rangers' ongoing hunt for a righthanded hitting first baseman, along with some quotes from Chris Davis about the possibility of his playing time being cut back.

From Wikipedia…
Game Score is a metric devised by Bill James to determine the strength of a pitcher in any particular baseball game. To determine a starting pitcher’s game score:
Start with 50 points.
Add 1 point for each out recorded, so 3 points for every complete inning pitched.
Add 2 points for each inning completed after the 4th.
Add 1 point for each strikeout.
Subtract 2 points for each hit allowed.
Subtract 4 points for each earned run allowed.
Subtract 2 points for each unearned run allowed.
Subtract 1 point for each walk.

Reading that
Makes me think that stat might be much more valuable if he would just start from 0 as opposed to 50

I'm hardly worried
Vlad will bounce back at least somewhat.
Cruz, Hamilton, and Kinsler are all hitting out of their minds… the stranded runners % should regress.
Vlad needs days off
the more of a cushion we can build, the more days we can rest him down the stretch.

Well, he just about breaks his back everytime he swings.
A couple days off every week can’t be a bad thing.

Agreed
Most guys claim they’re comfortable in the X spot in the lineup. That’s hardly scientifiic but it’s about as scientific as saying “this guy’s hot right now and that will continue.”
Reminds of this old Bill Simmons column "In the Manager’s Studio with James Lipton and Jimy Williams.
James: So Weebles must have been responsible for the move you made this weekend in Baltimore, when you moved Nomar Garciaparra into the leadoff spot in the lineup? That struck me, because I remember reading Sports Illustrated’s cover story about Nomar last March — it focused on Nomar’s tireless devotion to repetition and habit.
And Nomar said something to the effect of, “It drives me crazy when Jimy tinkers with the lineup. It screws me up when I’m moved in the order. … I need to be in the same place every game.”
“Why did I move Nomar around in the lineup? Manager’s decision.”Jimy: Yeah, I read that article. I was reading it on the toilet one night … I thought I had eaten some bad mussels and spent most of the night sitting on the bowl waitin’ for something to happen. I ended up stuck there, howlin’ like a werewolf waitin’ for a full moon. Anyway, that’s when I read the article.
James: So you knew that Nomar hated being yanked around in the lineup?
Jimy: Yes.
James: And you suddenly moved him to the leadoff spot for Sunday’s game, anyway?
Jimy: Yes.
James: Why?
Jimy: Manager’s decision.
(The audience laughs.)
"You promised me, Eckstein, that if I followed you, you would walk with me always. But I noticed that during the most trying periods of my life, there have only been one set of prints in the sand. Why, when I have needed you most, have you not been there for me?" David Eckstein replied, "Because my little legs had gotten tired, and you were carrying me." And I looked down and saw that I was still carrying David Eckstein.
Then he grounded out weakly to second.
That's Jimy Williams
There’s the right way, the wrong way, and the Jimy Williams way. When he was managing the Astros, I couldn’t figure him out and he used to drive me nuts!
That's what Cliff does

Ok, to all of you: if a player has to reach into the stands to catch a foul ball, like, I don’t know, off the bat of Ian Kinsler in a tie ballgame in the bottom of the 9th inning with the bases loaded, you absolutely interfere and knock the ball away from the GD player.

I doubt it.
Even TAG was saying the next inning that the fans are allowed to grab the ball away from the player in that situation.
Small price to pay.
I would have done it, got kicked out, and probably got cheered on my way out.
"The Angels are like the villain in the movie that isn't dead until he's been stabbed 150 times in the bath tub, yet he still might come back up one more time." - Eric Nadel
This is the Rangers.
Their ushers are well documented to be mega out of control in over-enforcement of the rules this season. These guys in front of me in April were told if they stood up out of their seats one more time for the rest of the game, they were going to be kicked out. For standing. At a sporting event.
I know. I read that thread way back when.
I still can’t see somebody getting kicked out for going after a foul ball in the stands.
I confess I have no idea if you'd be kicked out or not.
The ushers are out of control, no question. But interfering in that situation is within the rules…at least the technical rules of the game. I’d certainly interfere.
You should not be ejected for interfering with a ball that has left the field of play.
Once a flyball has cleared the wall, it is up for grabs to the fans and the players on the field. But a fan has to use common sense, and only interfere with a defensive player, or a ball in play, when it benefits the home team.

I think this has been overblown.
Last night the entire lower deck was standing for significant parts of the game, and parts of the upper deck as well.
I ran into an usher there...
on a power trip last year. First trip to the park and the guy was being a dick. Pissed me off.
But that’s a SSS of course.
"The only good is knowledge and the only evil is ignorance."-Socrates
I know they had a meeting with the seasonal staff sometime in late April.
Reports of blazingly assholeish ushers on power trips have almost disappeared since then. I think they layed down the law, which needed to happen. Early this year, it was nothing but reports of ushers telling people to cheer quieter, sit down, not yell, keep to themselves, etc. etc.

And if said situation is in the playoffs.
Push the player, take his hat, pull his glove down, I don’t care. Do not let him catch that ball.
I'm not saying I wouldn't have interfered.
I’m just saying I assume they were scared of being removed from the stadium.
I don't think the general fan understands the rules.
We all have images of Bartman floating around in our heads and it makes people paranoid.
The difference is that Bartman potentially interfered with the home team.
He would be a hero if the Cubs were batting.
Right, I realize that.
But in that split second decision type situation, the average homeboy on the first or second row is probably not going to interfere because of situations like Bartman.
Pussies.
Be a martyr, that would be awesome. Get dragged out screaming “GO RANGERS!!!!!!!!!”

27th in WAR at FanGraphs in 62 games.
If he had as many games played as Josh has gotten and maintained this pace, we’d have the top two seasons in all of baseball in our outfield.
Yup...
his two stints on the DL along with what Hamilton and Vlad have done have caused him to be overlooked big time.
"The only good is knowledge and the only evil is ignorance."-Socrates
Do Math out? Feldman in?
Think Feldman does better out of the bullpen this time around? He’s been fairly terrible in the past.

Exactly...
and I hardly doubt that he couldn’t do as well as Mathis out there.
"The only good is knowledge and the only evil is ignorance."-Socrates
well..
Harden’s start is Feldman’s regular turn, so act like they are tandem starters. As soon as the game starts, start having Feldman get loose. if Harden goes more than 5 innings, then sit Feldman down, otherwise, bring him in like he was a starter.

I meant having him stay warm the entire game. He would be fried after 3 innings of trying to stay ready.
"I support you, Wash; I’ve always supported you," Young said
"Back on the scene, with a gangsta lean" RW
not ready,
just loose. Since he hasn’t been a reliever in a couple of years, you don’t want him tightening up by having to get up in the pen completely cold. but don’t have him stand out there on the mound and warm up for 2 hours (which is 3 innings when Harden Pitches).
Hoban 'Wash' Washburn: This landing is gonna get pretty interesting.
Capt. Malcolm Reynolds: Define "interesting".
Hoban 'Wash' Washburn: [deadpan] Oh God, oh God, we're all going to die?
I haven't thought it through enough to know if this is definitely a good or bad idea. . .
. . . but I don’t think I’d have any problem with it at all.
He's only got two full years in the pen, and he was passable in one of them.
I’m prepared to chalk his less-than-stellar track record in the pen to be more up to SSS noise than actually being capable of being a worth while starting pitcher and yet somehow worse in relief.
I also think he’s a good bet to at least be better than anyone else we’ve given longman roles to this year.
So who's spot does Scheppers take?
Also, perhaps you do the theoretical tandem start thing with Harden and Feldman? Oh the depths our Opening Day 1-2 punch has fallen to…

I posted this is the post-game thread, but I must say it again.
I love Cliff Lee.
I love the way he smiles when he pitches. I love his choice of facial hair or no facial hair on any given day. I love his wind-up. I love the way he pitches out of the stretch. I love his pitch counts. I love his K/BB ratio. I love how he runs on and off the mound before/after an inning of doing work. I love the way he’s influencing the other pitchers on the squad. I love that he wears a Rangers jersey to work.
I did quite possibly the weirdest thing anyone has ever done on LSB, and all I got was this crappy signature.

Residing close to Hollywood, Buckel relishes a good dramatic flourish. He begins his pregame warm-up by standing on the grass between the mound and second base with the ball in his hand. He races up the backside of the mound, down the front, and fires the ball plateward. A fledgling singer and actor when he isn’t striking out hitters, Buckel is undersized for a righthander at 6 feet, 170 pounds. He does flash a big man’s fastball at 92-94 mph. Buckel mixes in an excellent array of secondary pitches, with a curveball, changeup and cutter. His pitching idol is Tim Lincecum, and while his stuff is not as electric as the Giants ace’s, he still displays the potential for four average to plus deliveries. The primary concern is durability, as he usually loses 3-4 mph on his fastball as a game progresses. Committed to Pepperdine, Buckel projects as either a back-of-the-rotation starter or set-up man in professional baseball.

I'm running out of adjectives to describe
just how great Lee has been (aside from his first start)….I’ve never seen a pitching display like the last few starts he has made…

So
Who is for Harden replacing Feldman in the rotation? At least he can miss some bats. If he can controll his BB rate, he would be much more effective than Feldman.

Not like Harden
was worth 2 sacks of shit while he was in the rotation, but his last AAA start was encouraging.
Remember how incredibly excited we were when the Rangers acquired him?

Even after his first start
I’m still cautiously optimistic. He’s been good seemingly every year except this one.
Remember, we still can’t expect 7 IP from him too often… we just need him to give us 5/6 with 0-2 ER like he did with the Cubs.
That was before we knew what it was like
to have a legitimate ace.

I say give feldman one more start and let harden get one more in AAA then make your choice who goes forward in our rotation.
If harden sucks in his first two starts up here Holland should be ready at that point he goes tonite.

I'm fine with that.
If Harden shows he’s got his shit together that is. Because regardless of if it’s Feldman or shitty Harden, they’re both going to suck. Feldman will tax the bullpen less though.

I'm in
Harden has been a massive fail, but if he can turn it around and be the pitcher he’s always been, he’d be an insane 5th starter
There hasn't been much evidence he can do this though.
If he can controll his BB rate, he would be much more effective than Feldman.
If he does then absolutely, put Feldman in the long man role. I want to see him do it consistently for a few more starts in a row first though before they let him have his job back. If he can prove he can command his pitches, then I’m completely on board.
"The Angels are like the villain in the movie that isn't dead until he's been stabbed 150 times in the bath tub, yet he still might come back up one more time." - Eric Nadel
The problem with Feldman
is while his control is not as good as last years, he still has decent control, he just sucks. A bit unlucky, but not that good, either.
The trouble with Harden...
…is that he says stuff like this:
Harden is 0-2 with a 5.19 ERA with Oklahoma City, but he said those numbers were affected by minor leaguers swinging at pitches early in counts.
That’s just mind-boggling. If he believes that he’s not getting good stat lines because batters are swinging too early… then I just don’t know what to say
Weird comment.
But it’s also a pretty dumb stat line to look at. Maybe he knows that and gave a BS response.
I'm probably reaching, but...
…is it possible when they are rehabbing they are told to throw a certain number of each pitch to make sure they’re completely healed? Ok, that’s really reaching.
It's probably not reaching as much as you think it is.
Just like the people that thought I was crazy for saying he wasn’t actually hurt when he went on the DL for a minor gluteal strain over a month ago. I think the Rangers want to make him prove that he can command his pitches before he is brought back, and something like that isn’t that far fetched to me, especially for a starter.

Molina
Something I noticed last night:
When Molina sets up on the corner and the pitch is just a little bit inside/outside, he does a really good job of catching the ball on the edge of his glove without moving it at all, leading to more called strikes.
this is true..
i hate hate when some catchers do this and think they’re being sneaky – it ends up being a jerky move to get their glove back over the plate… In this category, Molina is as smooth as Gerald Laird’s back after team shower.

So, I think I posted this last night,
but it’s worth posting again. Promise.
Last night in the bottom of the 10th when Cruz did what he do, I started going apeshit right as the ball left the bat. We’ve all seen enough Cruz AB’s to know when he crushes a pitch. I could not have been happier.
So as soon as the ball lands in the stands, I’m talking immediately after, my phone rings. It’s the girl I’ve been seeing, who is also a Ranger fan. I figure she’s calling me to share in my celebration.
Wrong. She calls to tell me that were over, and she doesn’t wanna see me anymore. I went from elated to depressed in milliseconds.
She walked me off after Nellie walked Oakland off.

Wanting to talk to girls and, as a result of being hetero, wanting to make out with them is absolutely not necessarily objectifying them. At times, sure, it most definitely can be.
If your goal is to simply sleep with as many women as possible without regard to anything or anyone, then you may have issues. That’s never been my goal.
The reason I love talking to random women all the time is because a) it’s fun, and b) I just end up meeting a greater variety and number of girls. That way, I’m not all dependent one that one phone number or something like that.

and it does get VERY crowded. But if you get there early enough to get a decent seat, it can be a lot of fun. I have always had a pretty good time there. I think they also have free pizza tuesday nights.
I was there Friday before last.....
…..and ordered quesadillas and they were probably the worst I’ve ever tasted. Yow were they terrible.

Yea
I dunno if I would go for Quesadillas at Frankies. They have decent burgers/wings/sandwhiches/etc, though.
I honestly think their menu is just simply too big.
Instead of doing a few things really well, they just kind of have shitty everything. I mean, it’s a bar, after all, so I’m not expecting to be blown away, but their food seems to be very sub-par every time I have it.

for a bar. I usually stick to burgers or sandwhiches there, so I guess I cant really comment on anything else.

One guy
He was deployed with his wife. They were both active duty army. So they were both deployed to COB Speicher. He left for a few days to go to another base for some work. He came back a day early and was trying to get into his room. The door was locked. As he pounded on the door, asking her why the fuck it was locked, she just kept telling him to hang on a second. Finally the door opened and a dude came running out with his hands covering up his junk Luckily the guy that was trying to get in his room didn’t lose it. I don’t understand how you can be dumb enough to do that when everyone has rifles and 210 rounds.

Was at the game last night.
Nellie’s home run was a TOWERING shot. Seriously, that was the highest hit ball to leave the yard that I had ever seen. It seemed like it stayed up for an eternity. When it came off the bat, it looked like it was going to literally wind up above the glass in the 2nd deck in left. But it lost A LOT mid way through it’s flight. I was praying that it would get out. Even looking at the TV feed, the camera seemed like it was ahead of itself thinking it would have landed earlier than it did.
Happy birthday to Kenny. Happy birthday to you.
That shot was so high
that from my seats (upper deck, first base side) I actually thought he had popped it up and was getting ready to be pissed that Hammy wasn’t going back to tag up.

True, let's go in this direction then
James Loney could he be had? Mark Reynolds, we all saw what the D-Bags got for Haren wonder what it would take toget him? I know he is a K machine and has a low BA but he has power and drives in runs. He can also play 3b to give MY a rest down the stretch. Just thinking aloud.

In an attempt to get MLB’s postseason wrapped up earlier than November, when inclement weather can cause delays or postponement of games, the league will start the 2011 season on a Friday, April 1 start date and end the regular season on a Weds. The news, first reported by Bob Nightingale of USA Today, goes on to say that the season would end on Wednesday, Sept. 28 and see the playoffs begin Sept. 30 or Oct. 1. That would place the beginning of the World Series on Wednesday, Oct. 19, a week earlier than the last two years. It would virtually assure the World Series would not be played in November.

Opening Day on a Friday is vastly superior to a Monday or Tuesday.
I’m taking off work, so may as well kick off the weekend early.

Damn.
I really don’t want to give up Holland. Problem is you’re right. You have to give up one of the stud pitchers, and Holland is the guy out of Scheppers/Perez/Holland.
I don’t know if I could bring myself to do it though, but if it happened I could probably be convinced not to hate it depending on what else was given up.

Is he a FA or in arbatration next year?
Either way, I think I like the idea of the Angels overpaying for him. If he’s a FA at the end of the season, that would be so awesome.
Arb next year

Well, I'd like having him.
But I’d much rather keep the prospects and get someone in FA. I’ll bet at least one of the guys it takes to get him has a couple Fielder-caliber seasons down the line.
If it's going to cost what is being rumored right now then I have no interest.

From Heyman's SI article today
The Rangers have joined the fray for Prince Fielder. The White Sox and Angels are also interested in acquiring the Brewers’ slugging first baseman, who isn’t a free agent until after next year and is batting .262 with 24 home runs and 46 RBIs this season. The Brewers, who may still keep Fielder, are seeking young pitching and Texas has an excellent stash of prospects. The Rangers have also checked out Florida’s Jorge Cantu, Baltimore’s Ty Wigginton and the Cubs’ Derrek Lee for their first base needs.
Maybe just trying to drive the price up so the Angels can’t get him? Please?

There’s no guaranteed shot at winning the World Series. No realistic way to make it even a 50% chance.

Oh
I am definitely not saying anything guarantees a WS win. Hell, we could trade for Pujols and Adam Wainwright and it wouldn’t guarantee anything. I guess my point is, it better result in a championship, otherwise I would be very dissapointed.
Well
It should only disappoint you if you honestly believe in one of the two following possibilities:
1. You could have traded the same player(s) for something that would have won you a World Series in the same window (which is not necessarily just this year), or
2. The player(s) themselves would have contributed substantially to winning a World Series either in this window or in the future. Obviously the further out you go, the less sure you can be.
by brettgardner on Jul 28, 2010 1:31 PM CDT up reply actions
that is a good point
I guess considering point two, how good will the Rangers be in 3-5 years when Perez would really be coming into his game, etc.
Perez, Holland, Scheppers and maybe Feliz
Form quite a group of high ceiling options for the rotation. Some decent to good median projections for guys like Hunter, OBeltre, Kirkman, etc also.
The bullpen seems to have quite a few options for it.
The position players are a bit more tricky, but you can (probably) count on Hamilton, Elvis, Young, Borbon, and maybe one of Kinsler or Cruz being here and bringing various levels of production in 3 years. EBeltre is seeming like a better bet to be a solid OF and there’s a greater than zero chance that Profar or Sardinas are up in 5 years.

I call BS, and I hope the Rangers wouldn’t give up what it would take to get him in the first place.

It could be all the hype he got before he got called up that is making me look at him like a bust already but I can’t help it. .730 OPS over 633 ABs from a 24 year old catcher isn’t bad, but it doesn’t look like he’s going to be giving the Orioles many great years before he starts getting expensive.

If you're talking about trading Perez for someone
Guys like Cabrera, Mauer, Greinke, and Crawford are off the list for me. Crawford’s going to get paid this offseason and Greinke, while having a reasonable salary, is only signed for 2 more years. I don’t trade a prospect like Perez for someone like that.

My question about Fielder is....
Would it feel just as awesome to watch him smash HRs as it is to watch Cliff Lee pitch?
Cliff Lee is much better compared to other pitchers than Fielder is compared to other position players.
Which is no insult to Fielder, but, no.
No more fun than watching Hambone, Vlad, or Nellie kill baseballs.
I would rather stay away from him the more I think about it. Too much to give up. Adam Dunn is a FA next year. Just go get a platoon RH CIF that can get on base at a decent clip and go at it with that.
"The Angels are like the villain in the movie that isn't dead until he's been stabbed 150 times in the bath tub, yet he still might come back up one more time." - Eric Nadel
I would tend to agree
but what If we could get him at a cost that is less than originally expected a la the Cliff Lee deal?
At least one of Holland/Perez/Scheppers would have to be involved.
Not to mention other players would have to be involved as well. I just don’t see any other way. That’s too steep for me.
"The Angels are like the villain in the movie that isn't dead until he's been stabbed 150 times in the bath tub, yet he still might come back up one more time." - Eric Nadel
I dunno
I could probably deal with Holland, but that is a tough pill to swallow. That’s just me, though.
A lot of others here would agree with you, I think.
I don’t think I could do it though, but like I said above somewhere: if it happened I could probably be convinced not to hate it after a while depending on what else was involved.
"The Angels are like the villain in the movie that isn't dead until he's been stabbed 150 times in the bath tub, yet he still might come back up one more time." - Eric Nadel
Another thing to consider too that I think can't be glossed over.
Prince Fielder is a fat, out of shape bastard. How would he hold up in Arlington? Could he handle this heat? I don’t know. I just have my doubts about trading for him. For the right price I would be fine with it, but if you have to gut the farm to get it done then I would rather just bring in somebody to platoon with Davis for now and try to revisit the issue in the off season when there should be more money.
"The Angels are like the villain in the movie that isn't dead until he's been stabbed 150 times in the bath tub, yet he still might come back up one more time." - Eric Nadel
Hes been so injury prone and missed so much time in his career right?
The whole “fat and out of shape” argument is bullshit IMO. Hes not a OF who needs to run and sprint a lot. Hes a 1B and he hits a lot of HRs. Not things that require a lot of speed and endurance. He may not leg out a triple or beat out a IF hit but who cares.
Great argument as usual from you.
The guy plays in an air conditioned dome up north half the time. Bringing up the Texas heat and the effect it can have on somebody’s body, especially a guy that is under 6’0" tall and 270 lbs is a legitimate concern. But no, it doesn’t matter. Who cares.
"The Angels are like the villain in the movie that isn't dead until he's been stabbed 150 times in the bath tub, yet he still might come back up one more time." - Eric Nadel
I think it matters long term, but not this year or next
I think durability concerns would have shown themselves over the course of a roadtrip here or there.
Plus, since it doesn’t look like we will be battling down to the wire to get into the playoffs, we should be able to give him plenty of time off if needed.
Well
on one hand, he won’t be the slowest or fattest guy on the team (right Benji?) On the other hand, would he accept hitting 7th? or who do you bump from Vlad, Ham, and Cruz?

Capt. Malcolm Reynolds: Define "interesting".
Hoban 'Wash' Washburn: [deadpan] Oh God, oh God, we're all going to die?
Nah, somebody had a pretty good suggestion the other day.
1. Kinsler
2. Young
3. Fielder
4. Vladdy
5. Hambone
6. Cruz
7. Molina
8. Elvis
9. Borbon
Something to that effect probably.

If the team wants Ham to win the triple crown
they had better switch him and Vlad quick. Ham would have 10 more RBI hitting 4th than 5th at the very least.
