Rangers 2011 season thread

a single and two walks in the 9th in a tied game. Oh well, can't win them all.

I agree. Not a great effort, but winnable. I'm more worried about Hamilton getting hurt DH'ing. WTF?

Are you WTFing him DHing or him getting hurt while being the DH?

I find it ironic that they play him in right/left to help him stay healthy, then gets hurt DH'ing. Great player that has never been very durable. I just hope he's OK.

Gotta lose sometimes. The Rangers offense is good enough they can lose Hamilton for a few games but any longer and it will obviously hurt.

The story to this season so far has been the back end of the rotation. Ogando and Harrison are making it easy to forget Cliff Lee right now. Lets hope they keep it up and we don't ever have to see Hunter in the rotation.

Update:

"Josh Hamilton has a small fracture in right humerus bone in upper arm. Expected to be out up to 2 months. Going on DL."


"MRI reveals Rangers OF Josh Hamilton has non-displaced fracture in right arm, likely out 6-8 weeks"

Chris Davis got called up from AAA Round Rock. He will play infield and outfield. I think this is your last chance with the Rangers Chris! If you under perform, your trade request will be granted.

I'll be damned. I guess they need another body for a while. Moreland is doing really well all-around, and they might just use him in right field more often. I swear Hamilton is made of glass...

Why in the hell was he sliding head first? They teach that shit in little league....


Looks like Davis will get his shot. Hope he does something with it.

For the sake of the Rangers, I hope he does well. A Davis-for-Hamilton trade is what it amounts to, so I hope he can produce.

This isn't little league. Diving is will get you to the bag quicker than sliding.

Hamilton said the only chance he had to make it was head first. Instead, he got tagged and slid himself right in to the DL. So much for that split second, huh? Smart thinking. This is a textbook example of why not to slide head first. Especially if you're 240 lbs. You're right, it's not little league. Same principle, in this case, still applies. Imagine that.

I can get to work quicker if I run all the red lights. Doesn't mean it's a good idea.
