I suppose it is unfair to expect an immediete return,

The trade was good from the standpoint that MaxRam needs more work in the minors...

and there is no catching depth right now

Molina should be relegated to a backup role

Frank's experience would be nice for a playoff run.

While he does seem to blow up in certain innings, that’s only a mirage because his bad outtings stick out so much more than his many many more great outtings.

He is going to be needed for a playoff push. You can never have too much good pitching and, despite what the eyes say, Frank is good.

I trust Frank a 100 times more than Schepp. Schepp a good ceiling and should be a great pitcher, but he’ll have his bumps coming up. Everyone not named Ogando or Feliz usually does.

His offensive asset was that he had enough pop to drive in some runs to counter his inability to get on base or run them well enough to score.

Now hes a singles hitter who takes 3 hits behind him to get him around.

Oh and Nelly and Smoak need to snap out of their slumps against bad pitching its disgusting.

The worst I'd seen

was an interventional cardiologist. Made a nurse cry DURING surgery. Because she didn’t hand him the scalpel quick enough. Didn’t apologize afterwards, even after his head nurse talked to him.

He wanted to chitchat with me about the field and his 10 day cruise he just got back from afterwards…my gast was too flabbered.

game should have been

6-0, 7-0 in the 5th inning and essentially over. still, when was the last time the bullpen coughed up a game? still had a lot of base runners tonight. one of those fluke games that happens to every team several times a year.

Agreed.

I’ve got no complaints about how they’ve been performing. I don’t really have any complaints that are directed at any one individual player. Just seems like the whole team sort of quit on us tonight; and that’s unacceptable. Championship caliber teams aren’t so blase.

There's the rub

Get mad at the offense? They scored 4 runs and are dealing with some slumping players.

Get mad at the starting pitcher? He was solid enough, though maybe not what you hoped for.

Get mad at the coach? He had some boneheaded moves, but none of them were of significant enough consequence to really put him to the fire.

Get mad at the relievers? Yes, they were awful, but they have been so good lately that it’s hard to get too upset.

This is definitely one where I'd go with "get frustrated at team."

For exactly the reasons you laid out here. This is a team that has enough performers so that, especially against a bad team like the O’s, you’d expect some guys to pick some other guys up on a night like tonight.

And tonight it seemed like almost everyone just laid out.

Fangraphs thinks the Angels

Should be sellers rather than buyers at the deadline

BUY/SELL

Realistically, the Angels should treat 2010 as a year to sell. They will be hard pressed to pass Texas, even if the Rangers do not make any further moves to bolster their team. Chasing that hope could cost them dearly in future wins if they deal off players that would help down the line. Of course, there is no reason to make that decision now; they can afford to wait out the month of July to see how the team holds up. In the meantime, I would hold off on making any major additions at the cost of prospects as difficult as it might be to effectively concede the division to Texas.

If Chris Davis

had been kept up all year and was hitting 210/39/356, while Smoak had spent the season to this point in OKC batting 354/404/556 we would be assembling a squad of LSBers with battering rams to break into JDs office and insist that he send Davis down and call up Smoak. Just sayin’.

I don't get the Davis hate

Yes, he was bad for the first couple of months in 2009, and yes he was bad in April 2010. But he was also very good in 2008, pretty good in late 2009, and his hitting performance level over parts of three seasons in AAA has been excellent. I’m not saying that I like him better than Smoak long term, but I do think that there is a good chance that he would outperform Smoak for the rest of this season, and the point of my scenario is that we have been as patient with Smoak as we have ever been with Davis. There are loads of guys who have a “track record of failure” until they don’t. Cruz is our most recent example. Clearly Davis is going to get another chance soon, whether here or a destination he is traded to remains to be seen. I still think he will turn out to be a good major league first baseman somewhere.

No...

The truth is, whichever first baseman is down in OKC feasting on AAA pitching is the first baseman the casual fan is gonna want up here, because neither Davis nor Smoak is going to live up to expectations in the majors this year.

The difference is Smoak is a better fundamental hitter, and has a better shot at producing at an acceptable level that Davis does, especially if JD would pull his head out Arias’s ass and bring up Garko or trade for a platoon partner.

I offer you my condolences and thanks for taking Bengie Molina off our hands. We thank you for Ray, who has been our most effective middle reliever. Main, well, who knows? Your general manager must be a complete and certifiable moron. If it makes you feel any better, we STILL have Aaron Rowand, whose suckage is every bit as great as Bengie’s, but is somewhat obscured by his trim physique.
Some of us maintain a certain fascination with Bengie’s misadventures. Forgive for occasionally peeking in and even snickering a little. We’re probably not going to make the playoffs, so we should be allowed our little pleasures.

Well...

I didn’t expect that game to end the way it did. Plenty of frustrating things :

1) Missed opportunities from the offense to put the game away.
2) Hunter looked great ‘til something happened when he came out for the 7th.
3) Elvis’ error made me sad.
4) Fx2 and Oliver just didn’t have it. I think they could both use a couple of days off.
5) Why the hell is Molina hitting ahead of Nellie? And why does Wash hate Cruz?

Oh well, I was pretty pissed about the game when it happened, but I’m over it now. I threw my remote against the couch when Oliver walked in a run and my wife yelled at me. Wives just don’t understand. I still see nothing to suggest the Rangers can’t take the next 3. Hopefully the Rangers rebound like they did after the loss to the Indians and close out the series and the Halos continue to suck.

49 on Metacritic (so much better than RT, fwiw).

The blurbs from the bottom 5 reviews:

As far as unnecessary movies go, Predators is a pip.
You can’t fool me. I know it’s actually a parlor game.
As its momentum accelerates, and its special effects transform it into a pulpy cartoon, Predators loses its judgment and turns into a frantic, clichéd chase film. This chaotic stew of fire, blood, mud and explosives is so devoid of terror and suspense that any metaphorical analysis is rendered moot.
Predators tries to spice up the hunt-or-be-hunted thesis, but from the get-go, director Nimrod Antal’s movie has nowhere to run.
As a fan of Schwarzenegger’s macho, heart-of-darkness original, it gives me no pleasure to say that Predators is an uninspired mess of mediocre action scenes strung together until the final reel.

Crane will get the team, JD and Nolan will leave, Crane will fire everybody in the front office and bring in his own people, we’ll trade half the farm for Cliff Lee only to be bounced in the ALDS and lose him in the off season to the Yankees. The sale won’t be done by the end of the season or even spring training so we’ll miss out on any significant free agent signings/re-signings, and it probably won’t be done by next year’s draft so we’ll have to go cheap again with our draft picks that we get from Lee/Frankie/etc…

only thing worse

would be if the Rangers gave up a top prospect for him

Meh

Maybe he’ll find out he don’t like it in New York, and we’ll have a better shot at landing him via FA in the winter.

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

Just what they need.

Mike Olt - 2013 A.L. Rookie of the Year.
He declined to accept the award as to not show up his fellow rookies. Incentives earned from being named ROY were donated to a local charity. He did not report this donation on his tax return.

I was hoping to wake up this morning....

and look to the tv or web reports and realize it was all a dream.
Instead, Lebron still lands in Miami, the Rangers choke against the Orioles, and now word of Cliff Lee landing in motherfucking pin stripes.

FMMFL….
