Sunday a.m. Rangers stuff

PrintJeff Wilson's game story says that, despite the Rangers' 3-6 record in games Cliff Lee has started, his teammates believe in Lee and know that he's done his job in most of those games.
The game story on the Ranger website notes that this is the first time Lee has ever given up four homers in one start.
Richard Durrett has a compilation of some Cliff Lee numbers.
Evan Grant says that the team's lack of positional player depth has been a big problem this year.
The S-T has a Q&A with Jon Daniels on a variety of issues, including the team's injuries and why Rich Harden is getting another shot in the rotation.
The Rangers website notes feature several items, including an update on Scott Feldman, who is going to have an MRI on Monday, and praise from Ron Washington for Mitch Moreland.
As far as Feldman goes, I suspect he'll be put on the d.l. on Monday, and Michael Kirkman will end up staying up.
Wilson's notes talk about Elvis Andrus's recent offensive surge, and Ian Kinsler feeling good about his groin.

What can I say, Cliff has thrown a couple of stinkers
but that stuff happens. Sure, the last three starts have been a little bothersome, but that SO/BB rate through that still looks tasty. As for the record, I’d think they all even up by the end. Hopefully.
Also, is Kirkman starting next week or what?
Remember to retire Fin's number, Mark.
No clue, Harden is slated for Monday.

Bull$hit ahead. Please watch your step.
We’d like to see Rich seize the opportunity. He’s obviously capable. He’s shown that at times. I think it’s time for production. I don’t think anyone is more frustrated than he is. He’s frustrated now.
…
I don’t think Derek Holland threw the ball poorly the other day. But we feel like we made the investment in Rich and he’s shown that he’s capable in spurts. We’ll give him a chance to capitalize on that.
I agree that Holland didn't throw the ball that poorly
Perhaps poor planning for hitters.
"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.

Which part?
The people who are saying Cliff Lee isn’t that good?
The guy saying Joaquin Arias should be starting at 2B?
The guy who wants Jon Daniels to go sign with the Mets?
The people hollering for Taylor Teagarden to play every day?

I thought about doing this,

Flexor tendon...

I always thought torn rotator cuff, torn labrum were the worst for pitchers, Tommy John isn’t that bad (relatively) since there’s a pretty good chance nowadays of returning from it with only the downtime being a drawback…

Curve
And I’m wondering if he doesn’t throw a second fastball (2 seamer, sinker, cutter?) as his fastball velocity ranged from 88 to 94. However, the more likely explanation is that his velocity wasn’t 100% for the first few batters.

He looked good no denying that.
But also he was facing a team that most likely none of the players had ever faced him or even had much of a scouting report on him. he was just called up and this was his first appearance.

Thank goodnes the birds won’t be in the playoffs
Let's just call that incentive for Lee not to sign with the Yankees.
If he did, he would have to face Baltimore much more often.
wtf?
i’m in LA for a week and this is what happens?
they go 2-6?
cliff lee allows 14 earned runs in 2 games???
andrus has a recent offensive surge? his ops when i left was .676, it’s the same now
kirkman came up? who went down?
boggs?
sorry, didn’t follow texas at all.
all i realy saw sports wise over there was something about brett favre and roger clemens
Lee gave up 2 runs vs. the Rays
Arias gave up the other 4 runs

Too Comfortable
The O’s looked too comfortable at the plate yesterday. Maybe Cliff needs to take a lesson from Nolan and buzz a few towers every once in awhile to keep the hitters on their toes…
I wouldn't mind seeing that...he's got such great control he can afford to waste a pitch high and tight.

Luke Scott looked really comfortable when he flipped the bat...
before he started his home run trott. I’m not sure Wash or Maddux like to buzz hitters, but I know the team president probably doesn’t mind it.
I think very few we comfortable
at the plate vs Nolan. Mostly due to his wildness but also because he wasn’t afraid to come inside.
