Judy Borbon playing today makes me puke.

Yeah, what's his OPS since the AS Break? .430 or somesuch?
Other than June, his OPS in every other month has been below .600 and he put up a defensive rock last night.
Why the hell would you wanna start anybody else?
"Dying ain't hard. It's living that's hard."
"The Influence continues." Josey Wales (1/18/10)
Judy OPS v RH starter this year is .626 (.735 v LH starters).
Judy OPS since AS Break is .432 (.167 in last 14 days).
"Dying ain't hard. It's living that's hard."
"The Influence continues." Josey Wales (1/18/10)
I don't understand your feelings for him, Adam.
He sucks and has sucked all year (save those few games in June).
"Dying ain't hard. It's living that's hard."
"The Influence continues." Josey Wales (1/18/10)
Well
First of all, I don’t think he sucks.
Now, maybe you just mean that he’s sucked this year, rather than that he empirically sucks. I don’t think that’s what you meant, since your next phrase says he’s sucked all year.
Nevertheless…he’s been bad this season, offensively. No question about that.
But he’s been very good defensively. His defense has made him a .9 WAR player this year, which, given his erratic playing time, means he’s at a level of around 2 wins above replacement this season.
That’s not great, but it has value.
That being said, you seem to have come to the conclusion that Borbon has had his chance, has failed, and should be banished to the Island of Misfit Toys with the Charlie-in-the-Box and Chris Davis, never to darken the field at TBIA again.
I think that’s premature. And I think that it makes sense for him to play CF regularly right now while Cruz is out.

Judy has potential...the Great God of OBP rarely
lies and I’ve mentioned how seduced I was by his .376 OBP last year.
That said, he’s been beyond awful this year. He needs to get the F out of here and try again next year (while we search for options…Josh shouldn’t play CF every day).
I don’t want him banished forever, just in the Year of It’s Time.

Get it right.
"By MLB.TV, we can see J. Hamilton's homer, M. Young's clutch, and N. Feliz's explosive. All about Rangers things can be our interest"
--South Korean Rangers fan
Here's the problem
What options are out there that would be better than Borbon, assuming he gives you the 647 OPS he’s posted so far this season?
by Adam J. Morris on Aug 15, 2010 1:36 PM CDT up reply actions
For the vast majority of this season,
Judy has given us an OPS closer to .550 than .650…and you know that.
The current numbers he sports is because he was en fuego in June but other than that month, he has been awful.
We need another OF who can pound LH pitching (we’re gonna see boat-loads of it in post-season) and the best option currently available is Brandon Boggs.
"Dying ain't hard. It's living that's hard."
"The Influence continues." Josey Wales (1/18/10)
So what?
For the vast majority of his career, he’s had an OPS better than 650.
I don’t see how it makes sense to look at a guy who has a track record of being able to hit okay, and say, I’m going to ignore what he’s done as a whole this season and project him to put up a 550 OPS the rest of the way because of his monthly splits.
That’s dumb.
If you want to platoon Borbon and Boggs in CF, that’s fine. I’m not convinced the defensive downgrade makes Boggs definitively better against LHPs, but I think that it is a reasonable position to take.
But to say we need to forget about Borbon the rest of the year and roll with Boggs in CF instead, or something like that, is dumb.
by Adam J. Morris on Aug 15, 2010 2:03 PM CDT up reply actions
No thank you on
rolling with Borbon the rest of the year if he’s going to throw down an OPS between .500-.550 and everything we’ve seen from him, save the month of June says that is what he will do the rest of the year.
"Dying ain't hard. It's living that's hard."
"The Influence continues." Josey Wales (1/18/10)
So you're going on record as saying he's going to OPS .500-.550 the rest of the year.
Got it. Moving on.
"I don't really like pitchers." - Nelson Cruz
This is stupid
Everything we’ve seen from him does not indicate that he’s going to give you a 500-550 OPS the rest of the way. Continuing to say that doesn’t make it so. You’re being dumb.
by Adam J. Morris on Aug 15, 2010 2:08 PM CDT up reply actions
Keep in mind...
Josey’s the same idiot…
who said Andrus would be a trainwreck.
who said Cruz was a platoon player because he couldn’t hit LH pitching in THE SHOW
And who said
The A’s would win the AL West
The scouting report on Salty is that he’s a pampered, curly-haired motherfuck who didn’t earn his stripes. He has trouble throwing the ball back to the pitcher, claims to be a switch-hitter and is piss-poor in the clutch.
Have fun!
by oc on Jul 31, 2010 4:17 PM CDT
When he's pulling this shit...
it’s more than on topic to remind him of the times where he makes these grandiose stupid fucking statements and he turns out to be absolutely wrong.
Not really
Because then, he turns around and says that he predicted that Chris Davis would suck, and then people will talk about Hank Blalock, and we end up going down various rabbit trails.
What he predicted the A’s would do this season has nothing to do with what Borbon will do the rest of the way.
by Adam J. Morris on Aug 15, 2010 2:23 PM CDT up reply actions
No
But it has something to do with what Josey thinks Borbon will do the rest of this season.

I won’t argue with you….but Josey’s argument against you was about as predictable as the sun coming up each morning. Everyone knew what he was gonna say before he said it.

I would think that
and the fact that ESPN has to give an exemption to broadcast Sunday night games on local tv (which they do for the Rangers pretty often) but may not have done so today. Thus a night game would be un-televised.
Because of a contract with ESPN
ESPN doesn’t want any games interfering with Sunday Night baseball…they do allow the Rangers to play certain amount of games on Sunday Night but with this game against Boston they know it would take away ratings
"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
should have
made this game the espn sunday night game.

"There is a LSB party at my place when the Rangers make the playoffs" - TagDon'tTweet
because teams can only be chosen for a certain number
of Sunday night games on ESPN. If ESPN took this one they could not take NYY-BOS the last week of the season (which they have not officially done yet).
You mean there is a limit?
Set by whom?
"When I want my men to remember something important, to really make it stick, I give it to them double dirty."- General George S. Patton

I believe it 9 or 10 times per team (on Sunday only). The only teams that ever approach this are the Red Sox and Yankees
I was thinking 8

I don't believe it Jinxes
The scouting report on Salty is that he’s a pampered, curly-haired motherfuck who didn’t earn his stripes. He has trouble throwing the ball back to the pitcher, claims to be a switch-hitter and is piss-poor in the clutch.
Have fun!

Old Hoss going off about NYC
OldHossRadbourn Tomorrow on ESPN NY: W. Matthews on the vice-like death grip of the pressure of playing in NY being what really hurt L. Berkman’s foot.
OldHossRadbourn The real reason L. Berkman slugged .436 for HOU this year: he knew he’d be traded to NY, and the pressure got to him.
OldHossRadbourn True story: Gen. R.E. Lee once contemplated invading NY, but the pressure immediately made “Stonewall” Jackson’s head explode.
