Don't understand why Strop came out to pitch the 8th

when Tucker was already warmed up.

Did Ian bunt on his own in the 8th with Julio on 1B? Why not give Julio a chance to steal 2B?

You are correct.

Not by a lot, and I know there’s wisdom in bunting now and then to make defenses think you might actually bunt sometimes.

. . . but it was from Kinsler to Andrus with an awful bullpen. . .

Does this take into consideration the way the ball was carrying?

All the statistical variables need to be compensatred for. Somehow I suspect the odds on a long ball carrying were almost nothing in that park last night.

They're both bad and similar and back to back!

But I would think this one is worse because there was a lead, and another lead, and they were both blown. There were some bad at bats, a called third strike to Napoli that was strangely similar to a called third strike ion Mooreland on Monday. Both batters should have been looking for fastballs. Both took fastballs in the strikezone with runners on base. The last two games with fairly successful hitters up, they looked like guess hitters with two strikes, and got fooled….and those were very bad at bats. I question whether the Rangers are teaching correct hitting approaches.

What can we do?

Not like we have reinforcements in RR or Frisco. Every pitcher in RR or Frisco is either injured or walking everyone and/or soft-tossing journeymen-types and/or plain horrible or just way too young and not ready.

Random Bob Uecker quotes that made me cheer up momentarily..

“I hit a grand slam off Ron Herbel and when his manager Herman Franks came out to get him, he was bringing Herbel’s suitcase.”
“I knew when my career was over. In 1965 my baseball card came out with no picture.”
“I led the league in “Go get ’em next time.”
“In 1962 I was named Minor League Player of the Year. It was my second season in the bigs.”
“I set records that will never be equaled. In fact, I hope 90% of them don’t even get printed.”
“I signed with the Milwaukee Braves for three-thousand dollars. That bothered my dad at the time because he didn’t have that kind of dough. But he eventually scraped it up.”
“People don’t know this but I helped the Cardinals win the pennant. I came down with hepatitis. The trainer injected me with it.”
“Sporting goods companies pay me not to endorse their products.”
“The biggest thrill a ballplayer can have is when your son takes after you. That happened when my Bobby was in his championship Little League game. He really showed me something. Struck out three times. Made an error that lost the game. Parents were throwing things at our car and swearing at us as we drove off. Gosh, I was proud.”
“The highlight of my career? In ’67 with St. Louis, I walked with the bases loaded to drive in the winning run in an intersquad game in spring training.”
“Let’s face it. Umpiring is not an easy or happy way to make a living. In the abuse they suffer, and the pay they get for it, you see an imbalance that can only be explained by their need to stay close to a game they can’t resist.”
“The way to catch a knuckleball is to wait until it stops rolling and then pick it up.”
“When I came up to bat with three men on and two outs in the ninth, I looked in the other team’s dugout and they were already in street clothes.”
“When I looked to the third base coach for a sign, he turned his back on me.”

Do DVD burners come standard on most comps these days?

I fully intend on getting a working computer sometime soon (seriously) and I definitely need one.

by dolphinpuncher on May 4, 2011 1:54 AM CDT via mobile up reply actions  

I assume so.

I haven’t had a computer without a DVD burner since I started college. Which was before Hank Blalock was a bust.

I'm still fucking mad.

Mostly at myself for taking that 7-0 start for granted. And that we have to face Michael Pineda tomorrow with an offense that seems to be regressing every series. And that Josh Hamilton has all of the powers of a superhero, minus the regenerative ones. And that we can’t even seem to tread water until he gets back.

The biggest teeth-grinder for me though is that

In all our losses this year, the differential from Inning 1 to Inning 2 in number of pitches seen has to be around -20.

This happens way too fucking often. If you’re going to work the counts in the first, STICK TO THE FUCKING GAMEPLAN. We are making practically handing solid starts to middle of the rotation pitchers. I’m all for being aggressive at the dish, just not being stupid.

Welcome to the 2011 Rangers

Quality starts followed by blown saves. Patient 1st inning at the plate followed by flail and wail the next eight.

Welp, guess Strop didn't seize that opportunity last night.

Give me Eppley for the 8th from now on.

He’s my new set up guy.

Its funny to think how last time Strop pitched it was deemed a "turning point"

or something like that even though he came in and walked the first two batters to load the bases.

I have absolutely zero faith in that guy in any tight ballgames

On the bright side

Los Anaheim and the Fuckin’ A’s are finding ways to lose…when they aren’t playing us, that is.
Never mind..

If the season is full of ebbs and flows...

It is high time we start seeing some flowage.
