Adam, listening to the RPIA podcast right now...
arguably your best work to date.
The censorship makes it pretty golden, imo.

What are we at the park for except to win? I'd trip my mother. I'd help her up, brush her off, tell her I'm sorry. But mother don't make it to third. ~Leo Durocher
Damn
I want them to win this game tonight so bad I can taste it!

I like that.

Well
I would think they would only keep one backup infielder, anyway.
Seems like the bench is Moreland/Cantu, Borbon/Murphy, Blanco, and the backup catcher.

I'm perfectly ok w/ blanco as the backup mif
he’s nothing special, but he can play at the very least average defense and he doesn’t do stupid shit for the most part. Can’t say the same for arias.
teams usually reduce thier pitching staff by 2
for the first round of the playoffs. Right now the 7 man playoff bench would be…
Cantu, Treanor, Borbon, Blanco, Guzman(?), Arias(?), Teagarden. Might they add Davis, Ramirez or Taveras instead? Any other candidates?
Roster
I don’t think any team reduced it’s playoff pitching staff by 2 last year. You could reduce to an 11-man staff, although I don’t see the Rangers doing that.
To get to an 7-man bench, you would have to go to a 9-man pitching staff, a reduction of three. No team is going to do that.

Evan better be careful...
…that analysis of F-Face’s defense was a lot less than 100% positive. I’m thinking EG’s chances of writing MY’s authorized biography will take a serious hit.
He's not a regular bum, he's a genius bum
I brought up on Twitter
that Molitor, who the DFW media compares Young to at every chance, was primarily a DH by his age 34 season, which would be next year for MY
cool....works out perfectly.

Young better get on his horse...
…Molitor’s age 34-36 years featured WARs as a DH greater than any individual year Young has ever put up as a position player.

First Wash lashes out at the Cockroach and now this
Pennant fever makes people do crazy shit.
"Don't confuse the outcome that a decision produces with the intelligence that went into making that decision."--Tony LaRussa
He tries to keep that close relationship by saying
bq.
“Young may not be the best fielder among major league third basemen, but his hitting ability and his influence on the rest of the club and his professionalism still make him one of the overall best among third basemen.”
FAIL...my bad
Young’s intangibles do not make up for the fact that he can’t get to balls to his left or right. Or that he backs up on balls hit at him.
I’m not a scout…but I can see Mike standing up at impact with a little “hop”….it’s what I do when I’m in the field..so I understand the reflex…but that has to change.
I'm pretty sure Matt Cain won't be a free agent target over the winter
He and SF agreed to a 3 year deal at the end of spring training

"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.

oh fuck me
He’s there and on tv right now. You’re good.

This, ASAP!
Craig Counsell, the Milwaukee veteran infielder, has cleared waivers and could become a target of the Rangers
"I support you, Wash; I’ve always supported you," Young said
"Back on the scene, with a gangsta lean" RW
+2.6 UZR/150 @ SS too
-10.4 @ 3rd – MY @ -8.7 as a reference
+5.4 @ 2nd
Way better than Cora.
"I support you, Wash; I’ve always supported you," Young said
"Back on the scene, with a gangsta lean" RW
Beware the single-season UZR.
I’d expect Counsell to be better at third than that, given his track record.
Please

He goes to Triple-A OKC Wednesday. Might be in Arlington by Monday.
