Texas Rangers 2012 Thread

[JackWagon]

This season is all about the pitching. We need some of the "greatest farm system in baseball" to step up and become pitchers in the big leagues.

Or trade some of it for Grenke. I would love to have Darvish and Grenke for the next 5 years as our 1 and 2 in the rotation.

Wow, was anyone listening to the game when this happened? I hope he's okay. You can have speech difficulties preceding certain types of migraines. Could also be a TIA; hopefully not, but I hope he gets it checked out.

We are in the 5th with 1 ER from Feldman.

Funny thing is that one run was Elvis' fault even though how it happen isn't considered an error. (though it should be)

Feldman is mad about going back to the bullpen :laugh2:

What did he say? I did a quick look around on the internets and could not find him spouting off.

He had his chance to stay, but being 1-6 with a 6.00 ERA kinda seals the deal. I know he didnt get a lot of run support, but he gave up basically a run per inning that he pitched. I used my arithmetic skills, best as I can determine he gave up .92 runs an inning since moving into the rotation.

A 6.00 ERA indicates he gave up 0.67 earned runs per inning. The rest of those runs (in your 0.92 calculation) would have been unearned.

But, that's just niggling...the point is taken that he is better utilized in the bullpen.

You caught me. I was using his overall ERA, from opening day. In my mathematical fun I only used the innings pitched and runs given up from when he was a starter. Thus, while as a starter he did give up .92 runs an inning.

Of course he's going to be mad, but maybe if he threw better he wouldn't have gotten beat out by rook Justin Grimm.

Exactly. This guy has had two years to cement his position in the rotation after his pretty good year of 2009. He just hasnt done it. I want him to do good, but he hasnt delivered. We all know he can pitch well, he just needs to buckle down and focus. He could be very good coming out of the pen. He needs to put aside the sour grapes and do his job like he is capable of, like in the post season last year.

He shouldn't be mad. He's done very good for us as a long-reliever. That's the way he can best help this team, because our starting pitchers aren't going to go 7-8 innings each game down the stretch..

Oswalt is getting his first start tonight.

 

[MC KAos]

very good start by oswalt! hopefully he continues to improve!

 

[TheCoolFan]

Good stuff by Oswalt. And Joe Nathan has been pretty lights out after that rough start

He's definitely been one of the best closers. I'm so happy to have Oswalt. It's a night and day difference between Oswalt and Feldman.

 

[RamziD]

Yep, hopefully we'll continue to see good stuff from him. Remember, this was the Rockies he pitched against. Feldman pitched a good game against an equally bad Padres team just a few days ago (although, not quite as good as Oswalt's performance last night). Point is, happy to have him here but let's see what he does against better competition.

 

[BoysFan4ever]

Rangers on a roll. Keep it up!

 

[RastaRocket]

Leonys Martin RBI!

 

[RastaRocket]

Now Martin with a triple 2 RBI!

 

[DFWJC]

3 RBIs for Martin and half way to the cycle.

Have to love that the Rangers clearly are primed to keep the roster stocked via the farm system.
