Official 2014 Texas Rangers Spring Training Thread

[TheRangerDude]

I wasn't the one being down on someone else's opinions, that's why I originally brought it up, sounding like a know it all and not knowing anything themselves

Its all semantics I guess, I guess we should just let people say whatever they hell they want and become a new ESPN board, and not be called out for it... sounds good to me

I think the point they were making is you tend to try to control flow of the board and tell people what they should post and what they shouldn't or dictate what opinion is right or which is wrong. It can be rather annoying. You also seem to take things a little to seriously- talking with your fellow fans about the sport you love is supposed to be fun, not painstaking.

We have all posted opinions on this board and not specifically spelled it as as one-this includes you. This is an open forum and people can post whatever they they want. Let the admin deem what trolling or over the line- they do a great job here, I am sure if they want you help they will recruit you.

Mmmmm, those are some good choices. I pick full-of-crap since it can fall in the motivational category. :rollseyes:

...........If no one else got a chuckle outta that one I want ya to know I sure did.....thanks.

Rough day for Cotts today, man that 2/3 of an inning had to feel strange for him

Swear.....I was just looking at that. Man, that is one bad day. Actually, that would be a tough 4+ games.

Did he get pulled that fast? I'm not worried if he didn't pitch well, but if he was pulled before the inning was over, then I would worry about an injury.
sorry, I haven't tuned in to the early ST...


(but I do enjoy reading what others are reporting)

People do things that annoy me, I call them out on it, same free forum you all use

I don't opinions any more right or wrong than anyone else around here

You used to constantly nit pick my posts, so I don't want to hear anything from you about that

If people are free to have opinions, then let me have mine, b/c one second people bash someone for doing something on here and the next day the hypocrites are doing the same thing, so save it

Back to baseball

I'm not even sure why I try this with you anymore-it never works or changes anything. So, I agree- back to baseball. Have a good evening sir.

Not sure either, maybe you can come up with a formula for it

maybe he should have shook off a few signs and thrown another pitch, HAHA

2/3 of an inning, 4 hits, 2 walks and 6 runs, I'm thinking he hit his pitch limit moreso than anything

My thoughts as well.

This from the Angels ST:

“
Mike SciosciaThis guy is a special player, and we've only seen the tip of what he can do. He's a Gold Glove first baseman. He runs the bases well. He's going to be a different player this year because his tools have been rebuilt. He's able to move, he's able to run, and he's stronger in the box. He's excited about that, as we are.

”
-- Mike Scioscia, Angels
manager, on Pujols

Yeah, at 42 or whatever his real age is he as been "re-tooled". If only a schlock of a manager like LaRussa had just been half-way decent and able to get his potential out of him.

Just looking at the box score with no commentary or without reading any print, it seems he started the 7th and gave up 4 hits and walked 2 while surrendering 6 earned runs. Looks like he was relieved with two outs and base runners he was still accountable for when armando rodriguez came in and gave up a hit that scored 2 more runs going on his line. All in all it had to be frustrating, even this early

Does my baseball soul good to see you two getting on the same page. How refreshing.

 

[donaldson79]

I've not been on as much as I once was, but I was wondering, where is Terps?

He contributed and had lots of good info it seemed and I haven't seen him in a while.

Anyone know?

I thought it was funny too, but I didn't want to get involved.
