Missed a damn good game.

You did. This was the first game I made it to this year and it was wonderful.
WELCOME BACK JOSH AND NELLIE! And how about that Ogando?

I still like the game I was at where Elvis homered, Beltre homered, and then Beltre made that insane play on Torii Hunter's bunt in the 9th...
while the Rangers beat Jered Weaver. That’s my favorite game of the season so far.

Wasn't that the game where you consigned a row of children to their deaths
for all of those things to happen?
Just the Elvis HR.
And it is a fair trade.
"I hope the image of my erect penis sears into your brain." by ab03 on Mar 24, 2011 9:13 PM CDT
Opening day was my favorite game of the season.
I called Kinsler’s leadoff HR.
...so I had a triple.
So... There's no way Ogando gets pulled out of the rotation.

ha, this is true
"I’d love to walk in and hug everybody every day, but that’s not critical to us winning." The JeDi
Way back when it was more nebulous, I said that if the Rangers brass decided his arm could hold up to it, I'd be fine with him staying in the rotation.
Still how I feel.
Thing is, the longer he's in the rotation, the more likely it is he adds more value than he ever would have in the pen, even if he gets hurt.
Doesn’t help you in the post season, though.
Depends on the time and type of the injury.

There was one on July 23 last year

Yes, I was saying that was a shut out at home.

He still qualifies for Cy Young though right?

There are two pitchers over in Seattle who would like a word on that.
"I don't really like pitchers." - Nelson Cruz
That kid is a fucking beast.
If I was Seattle, I would keep putting Pineda out there and have Felix follow him. Felix can’t let the rookie show him up, so he has to out pitch him. And when Pineda is throwing 4 hitters… well, Felix will do what he do.
"I don't really like pitchers." - Nelson Cruz
Goddammit Rhads
A breaking ball in the dirt off the plate does not “just miss”.
A pitcher “helps his own cause” when he knocks in a run, not when he performs routine fielding duties.
And I’m glad TAG thought your “my 29th birthday, again” joke was so unfunny, instantly moved back to…. actual baseball.
Everything, after that ball was hit for the final out, out of John Rhadigan's mouth was an abortion of baseball announcing...

Ogando's been fairly lucky this season...
but to say he doesn’t have good stuff is pretty wrong. 96 MPH heat with movement in the 9th is fantastic stuff.
by ghostofErikThompson on May 23, 2011 9:20 PM CDT up reply actions
No kidding.
He probably doesn’t get a shut out often pitching like that, and certainly facing the White Sox and being at home helps.
But. . . he still threw strikes and had very good stuff, so it’s stupid. The White Sox aren’t a good offense AND Ogando had very good stuff.
Yes...
it can be both! And when it is both, shutouts happen sometime.
by ghostofErikThompson on May 23, 2011 9:24 PM CDT up reply actions
Especially since during the game
they were talking about how Ogando had some weapons. Of course, they also wouldn’t shut up about his short-arming the ball and how it was so deceptive, either.
Oh
And Josh and Nellie’s hits weren’t that great, just bad pitches from Danks.

blindly forwarding, don't know where this OGANDO interview originated :)
How did you remain hopeful of reaching the majors during the five years when you couldn’t get in the country?
AO: I had a lot of faith in God and in the virtue of working daily. I just asked God to let it end, and it finally did.
Did you look into playing in Japan or in another country?
AO: I did, but I was optimistic to eventually be able to return here. Playing in the Dominican kept my spirits up.
What did you learn from that?
AO: A lot. I learned to persevere and to trust in people who really want to help you. I also learned to be more cautious and find out more about people before putting my trust in them.

In his 9 starts
We are 6-3
He has pitched at least 6 innings in every game.
He has given up no runs 3 times, 1 run 3 times, 2 runs 2 times and 5 runs one time.
The most hits he’s given up is 6… one time. 5 hits or less in the other 8 starts.

This about Wieland
LoneStarDugout Jason Cole
Working on my interview/story on @JWieland108’s last start. He threw his new slider 12 times at 80-83 mph, getting six swings and misses.
50% swing and miss is good, right?
It's decent.
OMFG!

It's amazing how lucky you can be if you're good.
That kind of swinging strike situation is far above normal, and he gave up some hits, and a few walks, but not only did he get swinging strikes, he also threw some double play balls.
Unfair.
They already have that park.

Rangers team ERA now 3.65 after back to back shutouts.
"I hope the image of my erect penis sears into your brain." by ab03 on Mar 24, 2011 9:13 PM CDT
Our starters are at 4.13 with a 3.88 xFIP though
Which still isn’t great, but closer to mid-pack.
Colby’s crazy HR rate is probably weighing things down a bit, and so is the bullpen in the overall picture.
But yeah, we haven’t been as good as our ERA. 4th lowest BABIP and highest strand rate in baseball ain’t gonna last forever.
...so I had a triple.
Still the best team in the West.
As long as we make the playoffs anything can happen.
"I hope the image of my erect penis sears into your brain." by ab03 on Mar 24, 2011 9:13 PM CDT
Assuming we take this rotation to the playoffs (which is probably a huge assumption but if we do)
We’re probably actually looking at a deeper top 4 starters for the playoffs than we had last year, despite not having Lee around.
No Fat Nick Blackburn handicapping us in game 4 of a 7 game series.
...so I had a triple.
I think we'd go in like the Rays.
Maybe not as good, but same kind of deal, with four good pitchers, but a good chance of being behind some other playoff teams in the first 2-3 games.
You should expect a lower ERA than FIP.

Starting five last outings
Wilson three runs, Colby two runs, Holland barely one run, Harrison zero runs, and Ogando zero runs. Who is the third best starter in this group?
Ogando and Holland are very close for 3rd best starter.
After Ceej and Colbyashi.
Harry’s not a bad 5th starter.

I know there's a nice THT article floating out there on the value of variance in the back of your rotation.
I just can’t find it.
But you still want the better pitcher, variability is just nice if they’re kind of close. I’m not sure I expect Harrison to be kind of close to Hunter.
I'd just leave him in OKC until he's needed, myself
I don’t really see him as having the kind of skillset that really helps out of the bullpen. No out pitch, gives up lots of dingers…
...so I had a triple.
Um Round Rock?

They can't keep em all (or at least I don't think they will)...
They signed Hanigan to an extension thru 2013 and Hernandez is a FA after this year so I would imagine they would keep one of Grandal and Mesoraco and look to trade the other one. But I think it would take more than Hunter to get either of them.
..ya i doubt Hernandez comes back..I figured one of Hanigan or Mesoraco would get dealt

He also abdicated all responsibility for ruining the lives of many hundreds of his followers who disposed of their properties thinking that the world was going to end on May 21.
He specifically told them not to do that. He didn’t ruin their lives, and he doesn’t owe them an apology.
