Manager Ron Washington was steaming after the Rangers saw Tampa Bay rally for four runs in the eighth and win 6-4. The target of Washington's anger was Joaquin Arias, who made two fielding gaffes in the the eighth that opened the flood gates against Cliff Lee.

Yeah but whose roster spot does he take?
I fully expect Arias will stay on the team the rest of the year.

I doubt it, this guy seems to have a 1000 lives, someone in management must really like him
he would never be on the team if I (or probably any of us in here had any say) that was just hard to watch
...
When you beat the best pitcher in baseball in the eighth inning, when he’s up, that to me is impactful among your group. I’d like to believe you gain some momentum from and you gain confidence from that kind of a situation. That’s a game he normally puts away right there. We were able to come back and do some good things. So, you beat a guy that good, that late, that’s got to do something for your confidence.
I know Joe Maddon has to say things like this, but I like him a little less now.
I would have preferred...

In fairness to Maddon and the Rays
They may have been gifted some extra outs by one Joaquin Arias along with some well placed infield hits to start the inning.
But every other hit that inning was a hard hit ball.

So who is getting Arias roster spot?
He is going to have to be DFA’d right? I mean, I understand he has a very very small value on the team, and he has options so he can just rot away in OKC the rest of the year, but that spot could really be used for someone else.
Especially now that it seems like he has nothing to do with this team anymore…

No options
That’s why we can’t fucking get rid of him. Someone else would claim him off of waivers and for some reason that is the worst thing that could ever happen

isn't this all on Washington???
without reading the GDT or anything more than 100+ posts I’ve read – I see a lot of anger directed towards Arias. Why? If the Rangers sign me, and I completely suck, is that my fault or the team’s fault? I can’t play baseball – at least I don’t think I still can. As best I can recall, Wash has been sticking his neck out to keep this hack on the squad all year – at the expense of other players that we needed earlier in the season. I don’t blame Arias at all for being bad – that’s who he is and what he do. I blame Wash 100% for this guy having the opportunity to lose games for us.
by sam in so cal on Aug 17, 2010 7:32 AM CDT up reply actions
Who did Arias block from coming up and helping us earlier in the year?
Or in other words who have we lost due to keeping Arias on the roster?
Well, we probably would've traded for a semi-compitent RH 1B like Cantu long before we did.
Which would’ve been really nice to have when Davis and Smoak where here.
I don’t always have sex with men…but when I do, I prefer Josh Hamilton. - AJM
I don't think we would have
Given our financial constraints along with the fact teams weren’t in the trading mood early this season.
It has sucked seeing Arias take up a roster spot for so long this season but realistically he hasn’t prevented anyone from being promoted, hasn’t caused anyone to be cut prematurely, and before last night hadn’t done anything egregious to lose a game.

Boggs had a tough play,
the lights are a major factor in fly balls in the Trop, not excusing the play, but that has some effect.

Yeah
As I calm myself after the loss it really isn’t ideal to have a guy who hasn’t played hardly at all in the majors in two years to come up and his first game be in that stadium. Not excusing Boggs not making the play at all but like with the play before that he actually caught its not a easy environment to play OF in
Rangers are up 8, 10, and 22. Awesome.

This is awesome as hell.
Think Wash now realizes there was a reason guys like him didn’t play much, or does he just think Arias isn’t really like he was?
Hell no. Wash was nothing like Arias. He was fundamental.
Arias is the opposite.

i'd feel ok
if we salvage a game in tampa then split in b-more. the a’s are done. angels are at boston, at minnesota, and home against tampa their next 9. the 4 games against the twins worry me. going to be tough to score runs the next 2 weeks.
See, I was set to be fine with one win in Tampa.
But to lose like that is just brutal. If it was some standard 6-4 game, whatever. Happens. But having a two run lead with five outs to go and losing because of failure is so crushing.
Also, I’m really, really, really sick of losing Cliff Lee games.
And The Bigger Question In The Off Season...
How sick is Cliff Lee of losing games because the bats don’t show up or because of shows like the one Arias put on tonight? The conventional wisdom seems to be that Lee signing next year is all about money whipping him. I think that’s a step too soon. If I’m Cliff Lee, I’m not thinking about signing with the Rangers right now because the team finds ways to piss away my starts.
They not only need to play better when he’s on the mound for this season, they need to play better when he’s on the mound this season to have a shot to keep him around next season.

Then if you are Cliff Lee, Cliff Lee is retarded.
These things happen all over the league all the time. Yeah it sucks, yeah we wish that we didn’t have to deal with it, but that’s the way things go.
If he goes to the Yankees, they’re not automatically going to throw up 9 runs of support each and every night without fail, nor are they immune to defensive lapses. Hell, you could probably make the argument that they are more susceptible due to the fact that the left side of their infield is definitely getting on in years, if you wanted.
This is Lee’s only chance to make a big payday. He’s never had a huge contract before, and that’s what he’ll want. Whether it’s here, NY, or somewhere else, that will be his goal. If anything, the chance to win championships will be the second consideration, not the number of wins he has on his ledger.

Yeah, ask King Felix about the not winning crappola
"I support you, Wash; I’ve always supported you," Young said
"Back on the scene, with a gangsta lean" RW
to think that it doesn't factor is equally as foolish
the Rangers have to consider themselves “longer” shots going into the Lee sweepstakes, and it certainly doesn’t help.
no, he’s not going to look at last night and say “f this,” but it’s not helping us make a case.
that aging infield of the Yankees with 6+4 errors looks really good compared to 16+13, and that 16 isn’t going anywhere but up. rest assured that the Yankees will buy the best replacements available when that 6+4 becomes burdensome – maybe Elvis???
the number of wins he gets WILL be important. you don’t get to the place he is without being super competitive. can he get those wins with Texas? Absolutely. Are we making a good case for ourselves? Not really.

If Lee Is Rational
If Cliff Lee is rational in the economic sense of “rational”, then this will make a difference.
Cliffy doesn’t strike me as the kind of guy who is 100% mercenary. Sure, he wants to get paid and this is his last best shot to get that payday. I agree with you on that point. But I also think that wanting to get back to a World Series or two in the lifetime of that contract plays a role.
If he’s economically rational, he’s going to factor that shot to get back to the promised land in with getting his payday. If the Yankees don’t lay fuck off-level cash on him and you have comparable contract offers to evaluate, how do you choose between them? The next rational level of choice for a competitor is going to be your prosepcts for winning.
It is imminently sensible to say that these few games are exactly that…a few games. But they’re also the few games where Cliff Lee gets to form his opinion of this team based on taking the mound every five days.
If the Yankees dump the contents of the NY Fed on him, it won’t matter.
by Mister Naxal on Aug 17, 2010 11:04 AM CDT up reply actions
Considering
the Rangers bats may cost him a Cy Young and maybe a quarter million in award bonuses, I can’t believe he is happy about his lack of run support.
I tend to think Lee will go the mercenary route and go to the highest bidder as long as he gets a no trade, and the team signing him is a team set up to be competitive through the length of his contract.

He gets pissed often, and says words I will not
But it is nice to hear him to call out a player. Keep in mind that this guy is/was the 25th guy on the roster. IOW, he would never call out a “good” player, like MY, Josh, Elvis, etc.

This is a subject that really interests me for some reason.
Maybe it’s because if one goes off we’re all fucking dead and as it sits right now there is nothing we can do about it. I’ve often tried to come up with theories and think of ways to prevent a volcanic eruption. Surely it is possible, and surely we are smart enough to develop the technology/techniques required to do it. It would take a massively large-scale operation though, something the likes of which the world has never seen I think.

I love that stuff...I'm in emergency management. Have you read about the New Madrid Fault?
Imagine a 9.0 earthquake near Memphis and that makes the Mississippi flow backwards. Scary.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_Madrid_Seismic_Zone
In a report filed in November 2008, The U.S. Federal Emergency Management Agency warned that a serious earthquake in the New Madrid Seismic Zone could result in “the highest economic losses due to a natural disaster in the United States,” further predicting “widespread and catastrophic” damage across Alabama, Arkansas, Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, Mississippi, Missouri and particularly Tennessee, where a 7.7 magnitude quake or greater would cause damage to tens of thousands of structures affecting water distribution, transportation systems, and other vital infrastructure.
