So, you want to send out a guy who started the year in AA, to make his MLB debut against the best hitting team in MLB, in one of the more historic towns, to close out a must-win game?

Isn't that what we did when we lost to them in the 9th?!

You have a 5 run lead. He's not in the majors to sit. What better situation could he ask for?

A single and 3 balls to infielders and you guys cliff jumping.

Maybe against Minnesota on a 5 game win streak?

We were up 7-4 in Arlington against Boston on June 24th. Diekman gave up 2... Bush gave up 2... we lost.

Take the win, give Dyson off tomorrow.

Even TAG and Buzz said you've got to take your best option there. That was Dyson. He was warmed up, don't jack around or be cute.

Also, we got a Win with Griffin only going 4.0 IP.

We've got Perez tomorrow.

Stop

TAG and Buzz were never going to question that move, rightly or wrongly.

Take the win here, but they'll need innings from Perez. Won't be a good day for him to get his pitch count up.

Not sure who that is but he must've really struck a nerve with you. Try trolling someone else.

Fun with stats tonight:

Rangers bullpen

5.0 IP, 4 H, 2 BB, 0 R, 0 ER

Jake Odorizzi

5.1 IP, 9 H, 2 BB, 7 R, 7 ER

Not really how it works

That's the point -- the vast majority of the time if you've got your closer up, he is going to pitch unless its a 10 run game. Coming in and throwing 10 pitches doesn't impact his arm significantly more than warming up did. It's about appearances and rest time, not pitch counts.

Strausborger sent to Seattle for International Pool money.

They've inked one guy, well under their slot, but are expected to bring in a few more.

You must be 16 to sign and apparently there are a few players who will turn 16 over the next few months. I'm guessing those are the ones the Rangers are waiting on?!

I think Brinson has been on rehab assignment, so one of the AA-OF might get bumped up, although RR has 4 OFs (DeShields, Hoying, Jones, Ruggiano). If Choo is headed to DL, then we might see some additional movement.

At this point lets start Dyson and just let him go until we clinch

I have this silly book called "60 stories by guys who played the game" or something like that, and one of tales is from back in the 70s when Oakland had just gotten new phones in the dugout or something...

...and one of the players got on the phone right as the game was starting and calls the bullpen saying to get a left hander warming up...so the lefthander starts warming up...Oakland's manager notices it and calls down a little furious telling him to sit back down...

So the player gets on the phone again and tells the right hander to warm up...

Oakland's manager finally notices and absolutely loses his **** in the dugout.

They say the manager never knew what had happened.

Joe West is seriously the worst

Its definitely partially about pitch counts. Its about both.

Guys get up and start throwing and slow down, maybe sit down for a minute, etc. quite frequently. My family used to have seats out on the Home Run porch and you'd see all sorts of movement (and hijinks and shenanigans, that's what I remember).

Most often its when you're playing matchups and you know a guy won't pitch against _____ player coming up in the order.

Him going out and throwing 15 pitches, plus the extra warm-ups in the bullpen and on the mound between innings...Dyson is certainly more tired than he would have been had he sat down when that home run was hit.

But I don't have an issue with him getting the work and the Rangers not ****ing around with this game.

It brings a smile to my face to know that your desire to disagree with or correct nearly all of my posts for years now has now gone so deep that you have replied to let us all know that because Dyson threw more pitches, he is more tired than he would have been had he not.

A+ stuff.

Actually, I think "argument" is good.

Folks take it too personally.

That has a nice ring to it

Too many asterisks. And I think it should be vag measuring...

None of y'all are good at this.

If this isn't for debating baseball then I guess I don't know what the board is for. I won't say I've not posted long posts with lots of words, but the personal level some folks take this too definitely stretches stuff out...

But anyways, I guess more pictures of a football player who shat his pants, then?

Here we are arguing again...

I'll stick to 2 sentences or less.

Any news about Choo's tight back?

I generally agree with mhayden on this issue, but there is definitely a difference between a pitch thrown in a tense game situation, and a pitch thrown warming up in the bullpen.

Wait. Am I allowed to say that, or is it now racist?!

Talking of not being very good at this, I got tired of kicking your teeth in. That and Danny kept crying because he felt bad for you.

And for someone whose parents had tickets in home run porch, I'd totally expect you to know more about baseball.

LOL.
