Friday Game Thoughts
Should we have concerns about Cole Hamels after getting crushed (3.2 innings, 7 runs, 11 hits) in Coors today? I'd say watch closely. Did anyone have the Rockies dominating the Phillies today when looking at the Marquis vs. Hamels matchup this morning? Miguel Cabrera looks like a Triple Crown...
New T.R. Sullivan mailbag
T.R. Sullivan has a new mailbag column up, with various interesting tidbits -- including his statement that Nelson Cruz "is definitely in the Rangers' 2009 outfield picture," but the lead item is probably the thing that jumped out the most at me: In my opinion, the two players who have not...
Monday a.m. stuff
A split in Oakland is a little disappointing, particularly after winning the first two games, but it means the Rangers at least maintained their hold on 2nd place. I know there are folks here who are probably disappointed the A's didn't sweep Texas this weekend, because they want the Rangers to...
Sunday a.m. things
Texas is 4 1/2 games up on Oakland now, with 19 to go (20 to go for the A's). They need to go 10-9 to hit the 80-82 record I predicted before the season, and 11-8 to finish at .500. As I think everyone knows since finishing first in the West in 1999, they've yet to finish higher than 3rd, and...
Tuesday a.m. stuff
Wins are good. It is enough to make me overlook the fact that Joaquin Arias was hitting leadoff last night, while Chris Davis hit 9th. Nelson Cruz announced his presence with authority last night, with Evan Grant saying that Cruz feels he's mentally tougher now, and Ron Washington saying that...
Cruz to start, Boggs to the bench
Hadn't seen this mentioned yet, but apparently, per the S-T blog, Nelson Cruz will be the everyday right fielder, with Marlon Byrd playing left field and Brandon Boggs heading to the bench as the fourth outfielder. Meh.
Monday a.m. stuff
That was a 2-7 homestand, during a time when the organization is wanting the team to finish strong and end up above .500 on the season. Disappointing. Nelson Cruz is coming up, and Joaquin Arias is going to get an extended look while Ian Kinsler is out. There's not much more to say right now.
Trade odds
I normally would wait until the beginning of the week to do a post like this, rather than put it up on the weekend, but zywica is going to be blogging Monday and Tuesday while I make a quick jaunt to D/FW to watch a couple of Ranger games, and besides, moves are going on this weekend, which could...
On Nelson Cruz
Ken Rosenthal's latest has some tidbits on the Rangers: The Rangers, who probably will not trade designated hitter Milton Bradley unless they receive an overwhelming offer, are getting calls on two of their right-handed hitting outfielders — Marlon Byrd and Nelson Cruz, who has hit 31 home...
Watch Gamel in the Futures Game on ESPN2
The All-Star Futures Game is on ESPN2 at 11:30 AM CT (no, not a misprint), with the pregame show airing an hour beforehand. "Third baseman" Mat Gamel, unequivocally the crown jewel of the system, is the only Milwaukee farmhand playing, thought erstwhile Brewers Matt LaPorta and Will Inman are...
