Jeff Wilson's game story talks about the Rangers looking, in last night's 4-2 win, a lot more like the team that went to the World Series last season than the team we've seen for much of 2011.
T.R. Sullivan's game storypraises the work of the bullpen, which came up big with three scoreless innings.
Evan Grant has his post-game reactions up at the DMN blog.
Behind the paywall, Grant says this game could be a turning point for the Rangers.
Gil Lebreton says that Endy Chavez has filled the hole in centerfield for the Rangers, and that while Julio Borbon is playing well in AAA, centerfield isn't broken right now, so why fix it?
Joey Matches contemplates Matt Harrison and his performance so far this season...
The S-T's notes talk about Michael Young's aborted cycle attempt, Alexi Ogando and the possibility of extra rest, and Mitch Moreland sitting two days in a row.
Sullivan's notes talk about Young and Ogando, as well as Ian Kinsler's steals and Josh Hamilton and the home run derby.
Drew Davison has a story on Round Rock first baseman Chad Tracy.

Angels only run
came on a double with a man on first. How did the man get on first? Howie Kendrick hit a chopper to SS. He appeared to be out but Cowboy Joe West called him safe. Kenrick was running on the pitch that Aybar hit into RF for a double. The Tigers RF just assumed Kendrick wouldn’t try and score and threw the ball to 2B. By the time the Tigers realized Kendrick had been waved home, it was too late.

Napoli
How and why was Napoli’s walk-up music changed last night? Was it because the Mavs beat the Heat in the NBA Finals? What did they play instead?
I had the sound turned down. Did Barnett and TAG mention anything about dying his hair?

Wrong. His career numbers against RHP are about the same as Michael Young.
I think actually slightly better.
He’s just SOOOOO good against LHP it looks like he sucks against RHP.

Also... how many of our players have higher than a .712 OPS against RHP this year?
"Nolan's about to make me shit my pants." by LiamP on Jun 21, 2011 11:10 PM CDT
But it puts in perspective that he's not a poor lineup option vs RHP.
Compared to some of our other options.
"Nolan's about to make me shit my pants." by LiamP on Jun 21, 2011 11:10 PM CDT
Not necessarily
However it makes sense to use games against righties as the days to give him his usual rest days. On other days it makes perfect sense to play him over Torrealba, Murphy or Chavez.
that's not that bad actually
sure it sucks for a dh. but for a catcher its better than a lot of catcher do against all pitchers.

For the draft lovers,
I’ll post this one more time if anyone is interested.
The Rangers have announced their 2011 Area Code team that will participate in the Area Code Games in California. The Area Code games are cool because you can’t even tryout without a recommendation from a major league scout. Here is the roster that will be representing the Rangers.

Doing Well, Keeping Busy
Work’s been busy this summer, so there’s that. I also seem to be bringing the Rangers bad luck when I go to games. We’re going to test this theory one final time before the All Star Break this Saturday when I take some part timers from work to the game.
How’re things in your neck of the woods?
Dean and Hinojosa are hot prospects(both UT recruits) Hinojosa is playing for Team USA
right now. Stryker Trahan has some serious power potential(and a sweet name) although many dont think he will stick at catcher long-term .. And I have heard good things about Gavin Cecchini being a very good INF prospect as well.
Obviously, Nick Williams is the cream of this crop…

$3.5M signing bonus ($0.5M 4/1/11, $1.5M each 4/1/12, 4/1/13)
11:$7M, 12:$10.5M, 13:$12M
full no-trade protection for 2011-12
If he agreed to waive his NTC, would you if the Dodgers asked for nothing more than a B prospect in return? Say…Robbie Ross?

Contract question
If the Rangers did take this contract on in full, would they be responsible for the second and third payments on his signing bonus?
The Rangers would negotiate that
or are you asking “what does in full mean?” I don’t know that there is a set definition
I'm wondering if a signing bonus can be carried over in a trade.
Or if it is the responsibility of the team that signed the player to the contract. I’ve noticed in previous trades unpaid portions of the contract such as deferred payments have been left with the originating team.
I don’t know if a signing bonus is something that is negotiated or if it something that cannot be carried over in trade.
I don't see why it can't be carried over
of what the distinction is between carrying it over or not carrying it over but then just paying the other team the cost of the bonus. There is no salary cap here.
I'm guessing it would be written into the CBA
My knowledge of that is pretty limited. I don’t recall seeing many signing bonuses paid out in installments like this and I don’ t have a recollection seeing this come up in a trade before.
I wonder why they chose to pay out the signing bonus this way rather than include it in the annual salary. State income tax in California is high right? Wouldn’t he get more money back by adding it to salary and having a portion of it be taxed in other states? Maybe that is negligible playing in the NL West. Obviously I’m thinking in type here.
I still don't understand what the distinction is
Why would you need that in the CBA? Any team can give another team money. As long as the player ends up with the same amount in the end, who cares who is paying it?
Perhaps that is the case
I’m just thinking out loud here. I just pulled up the CBA and don’t see any language in there regulating the financials in a transfer of contract. It must be up to the negotiation.
These things only matter with salary caps
you’ll have a ton of rules about signing bonuses in the NFL and the NBA. Not the free MLB.
Any chance the Dodgers
would eat some of that contract since they are so flush with cash right now?

I'm not really sure. I think they would be willing if they were allowed.
Lots of big contracts on that club.
Lilly ($7M, $10.5M, $12M)
Ethier ($9.5M) – Enters last year of arbitration next year
Kemp ($7.1) – Enters last year of arbitration next year
Billingsley ($6.275, $9M, $11M, $12M, Option) left on his contract
Loney ($4.875M) – Enters last year of arbirtation next year
Kershaw (Peanuts) – Enters 1st year of arbirtation next year
Ramirez – ($8.33M, $8.33M, $8.33M) – Retired
Andruw Jones ($3.2M, $3.2M, $3.2M, $3.2M) – Yankee
I’m not sure what they are going to do but they’ve got some work to do. I’d love to grab Billingsley but can’t imagine he’d be available. Price would be steep.
I was kind of joking.
I doubt MLB lets them eat anything in a trade if they are selling off assets. I could be wrong though.

Agreed
Kershaw’s not really the type of player that needs to get traded. If anything it would be Lilly, Billingsley, Ethier/Kemp, or one of their relievers Kuo/Guerrier.
That's what I figured.
But damn Kershaw would look good here. And we could make the Dodgers very good (potentially of course) in a few years.

Fun article on Harry
though I should point out to Joey M – not everyone has been ignoring him this year :)
I do think at the end of the year he’ll have an ERA aroudn 3.75 – about midway between what his ERA is now and his FIP. I was hoping for him to be a solid 3/4 type guy – which he has pitched like – but his results have been much better. I don’t think he’s a #2 yet (though if he starts pitching like a lefty Colby Lewis – like he did yesterday – maybe he will be).
Anyway, I hope he keeps improving; they need him to be a legit 3.25 guy down the stretch and into the playoffs, but he’s been the Rangers 3rd best pitcher this year, and while that would have sounded bad before the season started, it actually is a pretty good thing…
Go Rice Owls!
Would be a Matt Harrison fan, but I only like superstars
You have got to give up this dream of Harry being a #2.
It makes you look ridiculous.

I don't have anything out for Harry.
When he pitches, I don’t sit there thinking “God I hope he does poorly so Holland will look better” and I’m certainly not going to argue that Holland has been better, especially recently.

Oh, I'm just having fun
Of course I want Holland to reach his potential. Harry and Holland are inevitably going to be compared to one another – young, left handed pitchers who both have struggled to reach their potential, both have bounced between the bullpen and rotation, and are both certifiable headcases (albeit different types). And for as wildly variable as Harry has been, Dutch has been even crazier – shutouts one day, sub 1 inning starts the next. Ceiling-wise, I think Holland has the advantage over Harry – if Dutch can figure things out, he can still be a 1/2 guy. Harry’s ceiling is a bit lower (but not too much lower); and he’s at least moving towards it this year.
Anyway, for years the Holland crowd had the upper hand. He was the cool guy, Harry was for us saps. Dutch got touted as a future ace, Harry got compared to John Koronka. So I’m just having some fun here. Yes, maybe a bit at Holland’s expense.
Go Rice Owls!
Would be a Matt Harrison fan, but I only like superstars
Think about this.
How long did it take CJ and Colby to get to the point they are at? Years. Occasionally you will see a phenom, but most have to wander that developmental desert for a few years before they break through. Often, that breakthough occurs in a different organization after the first completely gave up on him.
"Anyone that knows me, an' the game of baseball, know what Ron Washington is about."
I had a really fun post about phase transitions, noise, and complex systems the other day
it was late for the AM, so I don’t know how many people saw it.
Anyway, there is reason to believe that when complex things are about to change abruptly, there is an increase in noise before the change. I think that Harry and (particularly, this year) Holland both have possibly been really noisy for this reason. Who knows what they will look like on the other side, but it may be much better than what we’ve seen.
Go Rice Owls!
Would be a Matt Harrison fan, but I only like superstars
I can believe it.
I remember how “noisy” CJ was for many years. Hard to believe that the same C.J. Wilson that basically pitched himself out of his closer job a couple of years ago is now considered our ace. And watching Colby circa 2004, I would have come nearer to believing he would sell me Life Insurance than win Post Season games for the Rangers.
"Anyone that knows me, an' the game of baseball, know what Ron Washington is about."
I find this very interesting.
Like, I would attend a talk regarding this complex systems and increased noisiness. I probably wouldn’t understand half of what was said, but I’d be interested.
You’d probably also assume people wouldn’t post images of dinosaurs with human penises, but I’m looking for anything I can use to put a fighting robot together! -Closure GT, 7/5/11

"Nolan's about to make me shit my pants." by LiamP on Jun 21, 2011 11:10 PM CDT
Well I feel dumb for saying major :)
For whatever reason I never got into science, and I was a math major, too.
At least his out pitch is not "N/A"
Seriously, Harry is a strikeout pitch away from being a very good starter. Even this version is valuable as an innings eater.
"Anyone that knows me, an' the game of baseball, know what Ron Washington is about."
his slider
he buried one against a righty last night for a strike out … you can see it building in him, bit by bit
I noticed that too.
It would be great if somehow Harry developed a Steve Carlton slider. We can always dream!
In Harry's defense
I like the way he’s working on his breaking pitches, and if he can get a handle on those along with good fastball/changeup command … who’s to say he can’t be a #2
I also think that he’ll get better at sequencing his pitches going forward and that will bring more Strike outs as well.
Developing Starting Pitching
is like potty training a kid. There are stages. You start off with diapers and then graduate on to pull-ups and big boy underwear. A kid can (and usually will) shit themselves at every stage. Eventually most take to it. I would say Harry has made it past the big boy underwear stage. He isn’t going commando like CJ yet, but given time, he probably could.
"Anyone that knows me, an' the game of baseball, know what Ron Washington is about."
so Dutch is the kid who takes off his diaper at random times?
