Methinks his days in the rotation are numbered once a replacement arrives, be it Lewis back in the rotation or someone else. He's simply too erratic with not enough fastball command to be a regular member of the rotation.Originally posted by Vertnut View Post

He also used to intimidate hitters with the ghoulish boil/lump on his face but that's gone too.
I was following the game tracker on my phone so I didn't see it but I could tell it wasn't pretty.Comment

Harrison out until the Break. Not that he did much anything in his two starts this year to prove that he was ready for the #1 position...How do we forget ourselves? How do we forget our minds?

Matt Harrison Injury: Updates on Rangers Pitcher's Recovery from Back Surgery
The Texas Rangers' quest to catch the surging Oakland Athletics in the AL West just got a whole lot harder. According to the Rangers' official Twitter feed, pitcher Matt Harrison will undergo back surgery for a herniated disk and be out until after the All-Star break:
BREAKING NEWS: Matt Harrison to have back surgery for a herniated disk (L5/S1). Out until after the All-Star Break. twitter.com/Rangers/status…
— Texas Rangers (@Rangers) April 19, 2013
The 27-year-old left-hander had been suffering through back soreness throughout April and was placed on the disabled list earlier this month. Initially thought to be merely an inflamed nerve in his back, Friday’s diagnosis will put the Rangers’ rotation in a dire situation.
Ascending in Texas' rotation in each of the past two seasons, Harrison had developed into one of manager Ron Washington’s favorite workhorses. Harrison compiled an 18-11 record with a 3.29 ERA and 1.26 WHIP last season, tossing four complete games en route to his first All-Star appearance.
Expected to dominate atop the Rangers’ rotation again in 2013, it was clear from Harrison’s first start that something wasn’t right. The lefty started two games, losing both, and posting a 8.44 ERA and 1.97 WHIP. Harrison’s control was especially erratic, as he walked seven batters in just 10.2 innings pitched.
Despite those struggles, this is an injury Texas could ill-afford. The Rangers had already been through an offseason full of turmoil, having lost star outfielder Josh Hamilton to the rival Angels. Harrison and ace Yu Darvish were supposed to be the anchors to help mitigate that loss, but the former’s injury could put the Rangers in a deficit out west.
Right-hander Justin Grimm replaced Harrison in the rotation and will likely continue to do so for the time being. Grimm started one game in Harrison’s place this season, spraying five hits and giving up two runs in four innings pitched.
The 24-year-old Grimm could develop into a solid back-end starter later in his career, but it seems likely Texas will look to make a move to replace Harrison sooner than later.satisfaction is the death of desire...
its still "We the people"...right?Comment

I see Warsh put Baker into the lineup at first this evening. Wonder if it motivates Moreland to produce. Bats are working good tonight, it appears.How do we forget ourselves? How do we forget our minds?

Aside from the drop in the outfield, I don't know of any other errors he's contributed, but I don't get to watch most games either. :/How do we forget ourselves? How do we forget our minds?
