Dallas is a Jewel, Dallas is a Beautiful Sight: Game Thread Jays at Rangers

Toronto Blue Jays at Texas Rangers, Jun 8, 2009 8:05 PM EDT


Tonight we have the Jays starting a 4 game series against the Rangers. Casey Janssen (1-2) goes against Scott Feldman (5-0, 3.79). Janssen hasn't looked good so far this season, which make me sad cause I expected better from  him. Feldman started the season in the bullpen but has now made 8 starts for the Rangers. He's been very consistent as a starter, he's never pitched fewer than 5 innings and never more than 6.2 in a start yet this season. Am hoping we knock him out early tonight.



Our same lineup as always. I don't get why Overbay is batting 7th when he's getting on base so well. Miller's been terrible with the bat lately, but maybe he'll pull out of it tonight. We dumped Snider when he was hitting better than this.  If you can't hit and can't field....why do you get a major league roster spot.

Anyway if you've miss it, we've had a bit of information on this series on the site today. Hugo answered some questions for the Dallas Morning News, Hugo is clearly the smartest guy I know, but he's off to a Decemberists concert tonight, so we'll miss him in the thread. Also Adam Morris from Lone Star Ball aanswered a few questions from me about the Rangers.

Today's thread title comes from a song called Dallas writen by Jimmie Dale Gilmore. Yeah I know the Rangers play in Arlington but it will do. The only time I've seen the Rangers Ballpark in Arlington was from a plane, landing there one time. It looks beautiful.

Join us in the thread.

geeze pat...way to go out on on a limb....

he ‘Thinks Doc was better in the last start’ when he had a shutout and only threw 97 pitches in the complete game than the start before when he gave up 4 runs and threw 133 pitches….they pay money for that brilliant analysis

well, the first one was against the Angels (5th best hitting in baseball) and the second one was against the Royals (4th worst), so there is a case to be made that Halladay’s results vs. the Royals were artificially inflated by the relative lack of offensive potency of the batters faced

True, but it wasn't like the Angels who hoarded prospects (also I thought it was unfair.)

They had some damn good players. If I had Tony F, Buckethead McGriff, Bell, etc I wouldn’t really want to trade them either.

y risk it with another reliever who may or may not be on tonight …. it makes no sense at all

I know the umps are human, but I hate it when they mess up a call against the Jays

in a critical situation. It’s calls like that which make me put on my tinfoil hat and start muttering about dark umpire conspiracies against the Jays.

modestly encouraging from a slump busting perspective

Yeah would like better but....

if you hit it hard you’ll get your hits…not a bad 2 strike swing…hated the first strike call

by Tom Dakers on Jun 8, 2009 11:00 PM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

Not a bad 0-2 swing. That first strike was bullcrap.

Anyone know where I can find

A graph of the run values of a batting outcome (ie HR = 1, K = 0, BB = something, etc…)

I was looking at it the other day and my dad and I were just arguing about the negative value of a BB. He thinks that it’s overstated, but I think BBs are killers.

some 40% of lead off walks comeback to score or so I've heard.

That a lead-off walk is a terrible thing

I think that they seem to come back and bite you more often than not. My dad thinks it’s overstated.

It came from the comment earlier about how Wells walked twice and was homered in both times today.

things did get silly....not sure what was in the air tonight....

I mean I know why I’m in a bad mood but……

But thanks.

i'd do it but

i would have tossed someone very early in the game. I’m like the ump you don’t get in the face off, Yer outta here!!! lol

Imagine the crazy sixth happening to last year's team under Gibby?

We’d be looking at a 9-4 loss and moaning about how the Jays fell apart, but instead they bent (a lot) but not broke.

I like this mental toughness of this team over last year’s.
