Sunday morning Rangers stuff

PrintI don't have much to say about yesterday's game.
Jeff Wilson's game story is a discussion of what is wrong with Colby Lewis. Lewis and Ron Washington both say it isn't an issue of fatigue, with Washington saying that Lewis just wasn't locating his pitches.
T.R. Sullivan, in his game story, also focuses on Lewis's struggles, talking about how the Rangers have lost his last nine starts.
Before yesterday, however, Lewis had been pitching fine during that losing streak. Yesterday's game throws his ERA out of whack during that period, but prior to yesterday, Lewis had a sub-4 ERA during the losing streak.
Richard Durrett has his post-game thoughts up at ESPN Dallas.
Meanwhile, Wilson's notes provide more bad news for the Rangers, as Josh Hamilton is expected to be out until Tuesday with sore ribs he injured running into the centerfield wall yesterday, and Cliff Lee is expected to miss his Tuesday start.
Sullivan's notes talk about Elvis Andrus sitting today with hamstring issues, Ian Kinsler's ankle benefitting from his time off, and Jeff Francoeur's decision years back to sign with the Braves rather than play college football, among other things.

One doesn't have to feel fatigued to be fatigued.
Fatugue likely shows up with poor command for pitchers. I’m not too concerned about Lewis and the pitching staff in general. They should be able to get some rest before heading into the playoffs.
New news. Fuck washington
aandro Josh Hamilton expects to miss several games http://bit.ly/boAIPO

I really hope we don't hand his glass ass an extension.

Why?
He’s still under control for 3 years. We’ve got him through his age 32 season, which is also about how long I’d expect him to last physically, so just ride him until he breaks down.

No
He’s under control through 2012, not for 3 years.

It amazes me...
…that you are a fan of this team, when you seem to dislike every member of the team.

Being critical is kind of how I care.

There's a difference between being critical and hating...
and you usually seem to be on the ‘hate’ side of that.

Whoa.....
I just had a flashback to the ESPN board when the team wasn’t very good and we would point it out and someone would come back with “if you hate this team so much then why don’t you go root for the Yankees”.

that meme is growing a bit here
yeah, LSJ is a bit over the top. But Hammy is injury-prone, and it is reasonable not to want to give him an extension.
Go Rice Owls!

He isn't wrong though.
Sadly, most of our good positional players are injury prone, and the farm isn’t really strong in positional players. Long term, it’s a very worrisome situation.

This team’s not much fun to watch right now.

A lot of questions...
heading into this last month and trying to get ready for the playoffs.
Hamilton, Andrus, Lee, Lewis, Fx2, Oliver, and then other guys like Kinsler and Cruz who hopefully will show they’re recovered. So much can happen between now and the playoffs. I just hope these guys are going to be healthy come October.

hmm
The two goals from now are to get healthy, and once we have our full club out there, play more consistently and more fundamentally sound and start to build some momentum for the playoffs.
I guess Borbon won’t be playing.
So...
You don’t like Borbon ( I don’t either) and you don’t think Hamilton should play CF. Who exactly would you like to play out there?

Sure
Then we could have the DH bat for him instead of the pitcher.

Yeah

If you don't like Borbon, why would you like Taveras?

Hamilton just needs to stop running full steam into walls, no matter where in the OF he's playing.
Nothing more annoying than an oft-injured player who don’t know his own physical limits.

You try telling a player to change how he's played his entire life
and see how well that works out
By 2028, Mark Teixeira will be in the HOF.

He's a go all out player.
Those guys don’t change.

Right, Griffey Jr. was the same type of player, you can't teach someone who plays the game all out
to be a so so player, it’s just not in their nature, they do need to keep him out of CF going forward, not much else they can do right now, unless next year DH him, but then you lose his great defense.
Evan Grant stole my idea!!!!!
I posted this yesterday and the exact same thing appeared in his story in the DMN this morning about the Rangers chances in the big 4 awards.
