Cahill had a little something to do with that

as did the other A’s pitchers. Not a bad pitching staff.

go back to last wednesday

and our offense has been downright stagnant for a week. we’ve been terrible.

We used to outscore teams,

Now we hold them to 2 or 3 runs and sometimes come up short. We are going to win more than we lose this way.

Some of it is good pitching like today

And then you also just have poor luck with runners in scoring position plus Kinsler and Vlad going through a bit of a slump. Its nothing I’m concerned about.

Look at the box, Colby gave up a bomb to Suzuki in the 6th.

I'm pretty sure Breslow had some voodoo working last night

he pitched a little bit more difficult to Josh but still pitched to him – THE hottest hitter in the majors – with the tying run represented. That’s balls. Then he just straight up threw easy high fastballs to Cruz. Maybe that’s Nelly’s weakness?

The wOBAr's of the batting order they've got in this series would be 5.2 RPG in a neutral park.

There are a few things going on in there, but still, there’s some solid evidence suggesting their offense could easily be good going forward.

Hahahahahahahahahaha.

Get this: When Texas recently approached Pittsburgh about reliever Joel Hanrahan, the Pirates, "according to a scout with direct knowledge of teams’ dealings," responded by asking for Neftali Feliz in return (Dejan Kovacevic, Pittsburgh Post-Gazette)

"He tagged me way up here," Andrus said, pointing to his chest. "I'm not a midget. My legs are long enough."

That might be the most rediculous thing I've heard in awhile.

I wouldn’t trade Michael Main straight up for Bengie Molina, even if my alternate catcher was a pointed stick. - KLaw

But, but they have the same WAR! (1.0 to 0.9)

JD shouldn’t call them anymore—idiots.

Slump....need a lefty first baseman that can hit

Four of the five top Rangers batters are right handed hitters. Two of them are in a slump right now. That means even if Young, Hamilton and Cruz are hitting, you still can work around the slumping hitters. Chris Davis is so weak in batting that he hits behind the catchers spot that has collectively hit around .220 this year (if that). I consider Elvis and Borbon to be secondary batters, not RBI people but when they are hitting well, they can really help the team out.

My feeling is that all teams go in slumps, but with few effective left handed hitters on this club, that makes the club vulnerable right handed pitching, good starters like Cahill and good right handed relievers. My feeling is the Rangers need a left handed first baseman that can hit, and take up the slack when a couple of the right handed big five batters are slumping. I’m not sure Davis will ever be able to do that.

I also believe that right handed first basemen like Wiggington and Jorge Cantu won’t really help this team. But Adam Dunn, Lance Berkman (stronger left handed hitter even if he is a switch hitter), and Prince Fielder would be the kind of hitters to plug in the hole that currently exists.

With the bankruptcy situation going on right now, I’m not sure the Rangers are in the running to get any of those three players because they may not be able to afford their salary. And I suspect somebody will say, ‘Davis will do just fine because he’s a good defensive first baseman.’ That may be the reality and we may be relying on Cliff Lee and company to get us into the playoffs. That’s why I think the Rangers as they exist now, will not get us into the playoffs with their bats.

so you expect the rest of the lineup not playing first base

will continue the rest of the year as they have the last week?

by kevinkinsler on Jul 29, 2010 9:44 AM CDT up reply actions  

I would love

To have Prince Fielder on our team. With that said, Cantu or Wiggington costs much less and would also improve this team and give the players one more little boost. I think I would be happy with either one of them at this point.

I don't want Wiggs

I want Cantu or Lee or Dunn.

Why did Lee turn down the Angels?

I did that the morning after

Teixera hit that ball down the right field line in Baltimore a couple of years ago that was fair but got called foul, Tex got run and the Rangers ended up losing. I was so mad I needed to share my fury with someone. That someone, was Adam J. Morris.

you know what I still can't believe

that there was a let’s go Rangers chant in Boston. if you would have told me before the season that would happen this year, I would have sent you to the psych ward. in Houston as well. getting a let’s go Rangers chant on the road gives me chills when I watch it.

This might

actually hurry up the FO trying to aquire Wiggington or Cantu, as both can play 2nd. Maybe not very well, but they have in the past.
