If ownership and the GM think Wash is a great manager how many other things will they be that wrong about?



Bennie, you still posting over on ESPN? Did you get enough of the Facebook posters over there?

So much for Terps thinking he won't issue many walks

I was thinking the same thing. I just didn't want to call him out.

I wasn't really intending to call him out but he has issued lots of walks for a guy that was supposed to be cool under pressure and have great control.

Yeah, I am still there as well. It is okay there.

Damn. Jackson with another bad outing. Only gave up 3 H, but walked 4 in 3.2.

I sure hope he isn't hurt. These bad outings have been going on for quite some time now.

 

[RevSader]

Coverage is back to being awful again. Richard was the only one on staff worth reading for ESPN Dallas. It was bad enough when he got that radio gig and was writing less, but with his passing the blog is left with two people who are too busy splitting time between having their heads up their own asses and the cowboys asses.

I have no Facebook and won't ever have one so I won't post there. It would be hard to deal with all of the casual baseball fans posting nonsense, though I guess there is more opps for convo

CW should never comment on baseball

Admittedly I have been overly harsh on those posters, but aside from the "fire jd" crowd there is only a few people who actually discuss real baseball.

Bennie is passionate about his favorite baseball team and his opinions are like all of ours, his opinions. I can respect that, whether or not I always agree with him or any of the rest of us. Dan Anthony though should re-think posting about baseball for sure.

I have treated Bennie poorly...Allow me to publicly apologize Bennie. I went too far more than once for silly reasons. It was unnecessary and hurtful. I shouldn't take disagreements so personally, and it's not conducive to discussion to act that way. I lumped you in with a few other posters that I really did have a problem with, and it was unfair to do so.

I realize we are all passionate about the Rangers, and sometimes people who I think are less knowledgeable will disagree with my take. I shouldn't be so quick to be aggressive in attack anyone's intelligence. It's very easy to be a dick on the internet. I have honestly tried to be less of one in my dealings and can hopefully not be nasty without cause going forward. I might just read the ESPN comments and not post anymore...It's too tempting to yell at Dan or Larry....

Unfortunately, this board is not immune from personal attacks.

The internet in general is like that.

Think Mr Darvish is paying attention to this?

It is to their credit that they have remained in the playoff race for as long as they have, but ultimately the injuries were going to be too much. New York’s lack of a starting rotation was always going to catch up with them.

With that in mind, Yankees’ pitching coach Larry Rothchild is considering a different plan entirely for the remainder of this season and possibly entering next season. According to Joel Sherman of the New York Post, the Yankees are considering a six-man rotation, with Rothchild the man pushing strongly for it:

“Absolutely” was the word he used to describe if he was serious about attempting this. And not just because myopically he has to figure out how to get the best out of Masahiro Tanaka and Michael Pineda in September and that duo plus CC Sabathia and, perhaps, Ivan Nova next year. But because he sees the epidemic of pitching injuries, particularly the need for Tommy John surgeries, Rothschild says, “I think people are going to have to look at a lot of alternatives.”

Kind of keeping an eye on one of the big so-called silent partners in Ray Davis. Not wanting to see a Jerry Jones rear its ugly head for the Rangers. And anyone using the term "great job" in regards to RW I have serious doubts about.

Hamilton went 1-4 yesterday while seeing all of 6 pitches. Now that's the Josh I remember.
