Saturday a.m. Rangers stuff

PrintWhat a game by C.J. Wilson yesterday. C.J. posted a Game Score of 89...since the start of the 2000 season, the only Ranger pitcher to post a Game Score of 89 or higher is Colby Lewis, who posted a Game Score of 90 in his complete game 3-hit shutout of the M's on April 30 of this year.*
* In fact, since the start of the 2000 season, Ranger pitchers have posted a game score of at least 85 only 8 times. Doug Davis posted an 88 in 2002. Ricardo Rodriguez posted an 85 in 2004. Derek Holland posted an 85 and an 88 within a 10 game stretch last year. And Colby and Cliff Lee have each posted 88s this year.
Think about that. Since July 30, 2009, Ranger pitchers have posted three times as many 85+ Game Scores as they had in the previous 9 1/2 seasons.
Jeff Wilson writes that, in the midst of a four game losing streak and with almost no run support, C.J. Wilson stepped up and won one of the biggest games of the season for the Rangers.
In the game story on the Rangers website, C.J. is quoted as saying he thought, after three innings, it was going to be another short outing, because he had scuffled early.
Wilson's notes talk about the Rangers having some interest in Brad Hawpe, should he clear waivers, and quotes Josh Hamilton as saying his recent slump has coincided with him changing his batting practice routine in Tampa and playing "Home Run Derby."
The Rangers website notes have an update on Ian Kinsler, who hopes to go on a medical rehab assignment next week, and the Oklahoma Redhawks' plan to honor long-time manager Bobby Jones.
Michael Kirkman is up, and while his stay will likely be short, he is looking forward to making his major league debut.

Oakland has won 4 in a row and are running over the Rays like it was nothing
worry about the Angels in the rear view mirror I will be watching the A’s, they have much better pitching (overall) than the Angels and the offense is starting to come around for them.
they may be hot and the Rangers might be a bit cold because of injuries
but there’s not enough time left in the season fir them to catch up. They would have to go on an epic win streak as Texas goes on an epic losing streak.

Strike zone
I watch Ranger games on MLB.com so I always get the home announcers and last night they were slamming the home plate umpire’s strike zone, for being wide and low, but only for C.J. They called it an embarrassment to baseball, etc. I’ve never heard two announcers go off on an ump like that. As did Showalter and a couple of Oriole players. What did the Ranger announcers have to say about it?
"Few things go together as well as Country & Western music and crazy people" Bob Dylan
Only heard a small portion of the radio broadcast...
But the announcer (think it was Barnett) said that the final called third strike to Markakis was definitely a ball…and that the ump was obviously getting back at him for mouthing so much after the prior pitch.
Ephesians 3:20-21...and I can only imagine
Hamilton off the wagon
Only took 4-5 games for Josh to realize he was straying from his strengths. I’ll take this as a good sign instead of getting bent out of shape that it happened (again).
It was bound to happen
Even the best hitters go through some slumps. So I’m right there with you, I’m just happy that he realized what he was doing wrong and is already starting to fix it.
By 2028, Mark Teixeira will be in the HOF.

It was in the time of the drought of four games
That fated to pitch was Christopher John, when Mustache of Maddux came to him pre-game.
‘Christopher John, the rains of run support and good defense are not falling in these times, and have laid low the efforts of St. Cliff and Colby of the East. What plans have we, to ensure our lands’ survival?’
And Christopher John spake, saying ‘We will do as we must. What ideas have you, Mustachioed One?’
And Maddux was shook, and he paused, and he spake, saying ‘We must work around the clock.’
And Christopher John was silent, although he was already working around the clock. He then said ‘I shall #dowork on this day, and our forces will be victorious, be run support scant, be defense poor, be baserunning mistakes often. And once complete, we shall all #upknucks’
And he did, and it was good.
It was very, very good.

Just for fun
Average/highest Game Scores this year:
Cliff Lee – 64/88
Colby – 58/90 (also has an 88)
CJ – 57/89
Unfortunately, Game Score punishes the pitcher for things like Arias’ boneheadedness. Lee’s Game Score for that start, 46, does not nearly reflect how he pitched.
Freude schöner Götterfunken, Tochter aus Elysium, Freude!
I caught some of the discussion in the post-game thread
about how Lee is a true Ace, Colby is a borderline #1 and BGL is a borderline #2. Just from a pitching standpoint, this is a pretty special group they’ve put together…I just can’t wait until everyone is healthy and on the field.
"Does this effectively hide my thunder?"
CJ is starting to clear that borderline mark
And might be closer to a borderline 1 than he his a borderline 2 at this point.
By 2028, Mark Teixeira will be in the HOF.

I meant that he was at the upper border. He was 16th in WAR before last night in the AL.

that’s what I meant…borderline 1-2, based on the WAR numbers you put up last night.

Earlier in the season, CJ was more of a borderline 2 on the lower border, so that’s what I thought Bob Loblaw was talking about.

Not to go all 2009 on us or anything
Its the whole discussion we had last year about upgrading the defense and its impact on pitching stats (see Feldman, Scott circa 2009). And after almost two years of this, we now can see where those ugly defensive lapses cause our pitchers to have (comparatively) shitty lines even though they left it all out on the mound.
by Jose Cardenal on Aug 21, 2010 11:06 AM CDT up reply actions
The defense has improved the last two years to the point
where a night like that stands out more, I think.

The thing is
Most of us are talking about how awesome our top 3 pitchers are in fielding independent terms. That’s the difference between this year and last year.

if some of Arias' boneheadedness were scored as errors, then Lee's GSc would not have been so dismal.
agree with you, but does that mean that Game Score is an inadequate model or that the play scoring was in error?
we're from Texas
CJ says "Relax"
One of the things I imagine is a big issue with game score,
is that it treats every hit the same, but adds in penalties for earned or uneared runs. So a guy who allows a soft single than a deep double that scores the guy from first gets an extra 4 points knocked off his game score compared to a guy who allows the deep double then a soft single that doesn’t score the runner, then gets out of the inning, and that’s a pretty big swing to result from just the order of two hits.
I.e., I think that it’s nice as a “this is how much I liked watching that pitcher” stat (like WPA), but one that’s not going to tell you anything deeper.
Yep
And even then, I’d still rather look at WPA.
CJ yesterday, fwiw, had a .692 WPA. Its a nice follow up to his Boston start where he had a .492 WPA.
By 2028, Mark Teixeira will be in the HOF.
"I am one of the biggest Texas Ranger fans out there but I'm also one of the smartest. Deal with it."
-The Outlaw
Game Scores (especially average game scores) are funny.
Feldman: 42.3 (max 67)
Harden: 46.6 (max 82)
Holland: 48.2 (max 68)
Hunter: 50.6 (max 77)
So on average Hunter has only been, on average, depending on which score element you pick:
- going about one inning deeper into games
- allowing two hits fewer, or
- allowing one earned run fewer per start (but this would be an earned run without any extra hits/walks), or
- allowing two walks fewer,
than Harden. So yeah, average game score looks pretty funny. Pitchers get clustered way too close together.
pretty interesting
I don’t wanna get anyone all bent out of shape, because I certainly don’t mean this as an anti-religion rant, but it’s nice that there’s an “Anti-drug/Anti-booze” lifestyle that kids can be a part of these days that’s not tied into religion. Some people just don’t identify well with “the Bible says don’t do this, so that’s why you don’t do it.” When faith gets shaken (which it does from time to time), if that’s the reason you’re on that plan, then it’s easier to deviate. I like the common sense approach to the Straightedge stuff: Don’t do it because it’s not good for your body and it’s counterproductive to helping you achieve what you want in life. Good for BGL for realizing that he’s in a position to be a role model whether he wants to be or not. Some athletes still don’t understand that, if you wanna be a rich and famous athlete, you’re also going to be looked at by kids…you don’t get one without the other. Ceej, if you’re reading this, I appreciate you not only trying to do something positive for yourself and those in your immediate circle, but also for kids that are still trying to figure out what they want out of life.

I also...
have never drank, smoked, or done drugs. Like BGL it’s certainly not for any religious reasons either. Although I don’t really think of myself as being ‘straightedge’.
I always get weird reactions from people when they find out. I don’t go around telling people, but when I go out or I’m at a party someone will always ask me if I want a drink and that usually triggers the conversation.
Probably similar BGL, I just don’t think that stuff is for me, and that I can live a healthier life without it.

eh….different strokes for different folks. If Bob Jr. goes all straightedge when he’s 15-16 and thats what keeps him from boozing/doping it up on the weekends, then I’ll be pleased.
"Does this effectively hide my thunder?"
religion was the reason I kept pretty clean
until I went to college (Abilene Christian, of all places) and I started to explore my faith (as opposed to my parents’ faith). Long, long story short, I wish I would’ve had a better reason to stay clean other than “because God says so” (although if that reason works for you, then more power to you). Don’t get me wrong…I’m FAR from straightedge (tobacco, whisky, etc), but I’ve figured out over time how to balance things (I’m not getting drunk 6 days/nights a week like I was in college). But this is a good thing for kids who are looking for a reason not to fall into the drug culture that is even more ridiculous in their schools than it was when I was their age and is getting worse ever single day.
"Does this effectively hide my thunder?"
I agree...
if you are doing it for religious reasons I think it could be tougher. In some ways that’s like doing it for someone else rather than for yourself.
I think it’s always better to want to do (or not do) anything for yourself than it is to do it for others.

Words can't explain...
how much I hate Yankees fans and reporters :
Sometimes, you just know these opposing pitchers are auditioning to become Yankees down the road. But four years from now, when Felix Hernandez’s contract is expiring, he’ll say he won’t re-sign with woeful Seattle and that’s when he’ll become a Yankee in a trade. Or maybe he’ll wait, then sign as a free agent. Either way, everybody’s aces become Yankees, sooner or later, for better or worse.

Actually no fuckers, not all aces become Yankees sooner or later. What a beating.

What are these Game Scores you are referring to? :)
I do believe CJ has 17 Game Scores of 50+ in 25 starts (Rangers are 15-2 in those games).
CJ is showing tremendous growth as a pitcher and a player….ever since the schedule started showing it’s teeth in August (beginning with the first game v the MF Yankees), CJ has taken the ball three times and in order – gave a good performance v the MF Yankees (Game Score 52), an excellent performance v the Red Sox (Game Score 74) in a 104 degree blast furnace and then twirled his masterpiece (Game Score 89) last night..
The team got 3 wins when they really needed it and CJ was a key to all three wins – that’s what leaders do.

I don’t really care about CERA but what I find really interesting is that when Teagarden is catching Christopher John his walks are way down compared to the other three catchers. This could all be noise but it’s something to keep an eye on.

Certainly something to keep an eye on moving forward.

Oh there you are!
So I guess Kikkoman Thai Red Curry Sauce would not be a suitable sub?
