SA..... after what you said about my posting? :stupid:


HIJACK!


The Rangers are FINALLY hitting. But im still not on the boat with this team. It would be nice to just have a respectable team. Then on the other hand if they suck it up real hard some big changes will follow after seasons end. Im sick of losing all together

[Superaggie79]

The recent posting about rangers baseball has coincided with above average play from the team. I don't argue science.

you're getting a tad to nerdy for me right now

Do you recall a fella named Superaggie? We miss him

[Superaggie79]

nerdy=superstitious?

[Pflugerville Ag]

Just think, if the Rangers can just win 9 more games in a row, they'll be back to .500.

[Superaggie79]

I'll keep the champagne on ice

[TexAgFromCal]

correlation does not always equal causation, but keep trying.

[texag005]

If the damn rangers get back to 500 i will definately have to watch a couple games. I love baseball but I can't watch it every night when they are sucking balls like they have been most of the season.

[PinetarAg]

if the rangers could only figure out a way to play themselves...probably still manage to lose

How appropriate was it that the Rangers got to play the Devil Rays in a minor league ball park last week???

[texag005]

I laughed at that. It was greatness. I actually watched one of the games and kept thinking i was watching the little league world series

How could you get the Rangers confused with a little league team? The little league team has WAY more talent.

[texag005]

ha that's probably the truth

[blackgloves]

Say what you will, you Rangers haters. But there are alot of talented guys on this team. LOTS

outside of Texiera and Young nothing really scares me (Kinsler is close but still young and Mccarthy will be astud oneday but still needs to mature a bit)

[TwelfthAG]

Can't support a team with the name "texas"

[Superaggie79]

who should I be scared of on the houston roster? Roy O and......

[Pflugerville Ag]

who should I be scared of on the houston roster? Roy O and......

Do you really want to go there?

There is not one major pitching category that the Rangers are better than the Astros in....

ERA: 3.98 to 5.08
Saves: 10 to 8
Complete Games: 1 to 0
Quality Starts: 28 to 17
Earned runs: 176 to 222
Runs allowed: 191 to 250
Walks allowed: 134 to 181
Strike outs: 290 to 258
BAA: .256 to .271

[Pflugerville Ag]

Oh, and three of Houston's starters have a better ERA than the Ranger's best starter.

Also not a good thing when 4 of your 5 starters have an ERA over 5.50.

[Superaggie79]

I'm talking the entire roster... there is not one player on that roster that I would fear other than roy o (if I were a major leaguer).

So you think that coaches of other MLB teams would rather play Houston than Texas in a 7 game playoff series????

[Superaggie79]

yes.. I tihnk most managers would be less afraid of the Houston getting hot with the bats. You give up two games to Roy O and take the rest.

[Pflugerville Ag]

yes.. I tihnk most managers would be less afraid of the Houston getting hot with the bats. You give up two games to Roy O and take the rest..

Good pitching beats good hitting any day in baseball. If that was not the case, then the Rangers would have at least made the playoffs in the last decade. Managers and players don't give a crap about a good hitting team that can't pitch.

[PinetarAg]

yes.. I tihnk most managers would be less afraid of the Houston getting hot with the bats. You give up two games to Roy O and take the rest.

what about carlos lee number 3 in RBI's (only 3 behind the leader Arod)..only a matter of time before Berkman heats up. pence has been a spark...Lorreta is a Career .300 hitter and is hitting well over that looks to be inline to start at 3rd. Jennings is coming back soon. Smapson keeps turning quality starts..Wandy has tunred it around...Woody is our achillies heel right now..

Saying the Rangers are a more feared team is laughable :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

[toc1331]

I'm so confused...I like both teams. I'm a bigger rangers fan by far but I follow the 'stros and rooted for them during their world series run. I agree with both arguments...Rangers pitching sucks balls-way too inconsistent and no real ace that batters fear. Astros run support has been way too streaky the last couple years...one of the reasons Rocket and Pettite left...another reason...they're greedy bastards. ;)

[Superaggie79]

Also Houston sucks.

[PinetarAg]

Also Houston sucks.

and the rangers tried to ruin baseball by signing Arod to that retarded contract...then pawned him off to the yanks when the realized how stupid they were.

I can tell by all the Championship banners flying that it was worth the price..........oh wait

Not only did they pawn him off on the Yank-mes but they're still paying him. You're right...that was a terrible move. You can't win any pennants with one player. I think that's why Tom Hicks won't spend any money on pitching or big name DH's...he doesn't want another A-Rod or even worse Chan Ho Park...

[blackgloves]

Do any of them know how to pitch?


Gagne has proved he can over his career as has Milwood

Ostuka can pitch aswell

speaking of pitching.. Other than Roy-O who on the houston squad can pitch?

[Superaggie79]

Brad Lidge :laugh:

[blackgloves]

Brad Lidge :laugh:

that one pitch is still in orbit

[Pflugerville Ag]

Brad Lidge :laugh:

Do you actually follow baseball or just watch Sportcenter every week or so? Do you realize that Lidge has been one of the best relievers over the last month in all of baseball? In May, he had an ERA of 1.35, struck out 17 batters in 13.1 innings, gave up 0 HRs, and had a .133 BAA. For the month of May, the Rangers had an ERA of 4.76.

Well since we are in the buisness of giving props to bad pitchers who have been pitching well as of late.

When are you gonna give our guys props for playing well as of late?

[Superaggie79]

:bored: I like how you compare the entire Rangers staff to one player

[blackgloves]

very good question

actually one closer to our entire staff

It reminds me of those ESPN News commericals with the guys that are talking sports out of the asses.

Why don't you do the same thing with the Rangers and post their ERAs next to the Houston pitchers.

I'm not comparing them to the Rangers I'm just saying it's not a great staff. You were the one that skewed the numbers to include the entire rangers staff versus one player.

[Pflugerville Ag]

Maybe not a "great" staff, but a pretty good one considering it is statistically better than 20 teams in the bigs. On the bright side for you Ranger fans, Tampa Bay has a worse pitching staff than you. :)

Well congrats to the Astros. They didn't make the bottom 5 in the NL in total RBI's by just a few runs

[blackgloves]

You also have 5 more total HR's than the VERY worst team in baseball so theres something else to be proud of

[Pflugerville Ag]

Don't be bitter just b/c your team is in last place, is 10 games under .500, has given up more runs than any team in all of baseball, and has the worst record in the AL.

I have no idea what the overall score is. I know that it took the Rangers 3 or 4 years to win it for the first time in 2004. Frankly, I don't really care what Houston does against a team that they play 6 games with a year. I care about them making the playoffs and getting to/winning the World Series. Astro fan's goals are a tad higher than Ranger fans.

You sound like a whorn fan, talking about goals and so forth. Funny thing is the Astros and Rangers are about in the same boat. But again... the Astros have SUCH high expectations right now.... :gig: Catching the Brewers of all teams wont be easy and you can forget all together about the wild card.

[blackgloves]

Astros 21
Rangers 18

Silver boot series

[Pflugerville Ag]

Come on now. One team to catch, 6.5 games back in the "weak" NL compared to 3 teams to catch and 10 games back in the almighty AL. Houston's path to the playoffs is a tad easier than the Rangers. And, Houston as proved quite a few times over the last few years that they are never out of it. The Rangers prove every year that they are always out of it! :)

So you think your gonna catch the Brewers? Is that what you are telling me? Or that you atleast have a chance? which one is it? because I dont think either or will happen. The Cubs have a better chance of catching the Brewers than yall do. You dont have Roger or Andy, the two pitchers you had in the past when you made those late season pushes.

Take a VERY close look at our division. How far are we off from being in 2nd place?

[Pflugerville Ag]

We will definitely give the Brewers a run for the division. They haven't been in contention in years and will fade down the stretch. I'm not worried about Houston's pitching either. Jennings will be back next week and Backe will be back later in the year. That is two more solid starters back to an already good staff.

[blackgloves]

book marked!

[bobcatfan06]

Ok so the Rangers can't pitch.Have they ever? No. Will they ever? Hopefully the 2 guys taken today can help the rotation in 2-3 years. I still say if the Rangers were in the NL Central with the Astros in the AL West the Rangers would have the better record. The Astros would get murdered in the AL West and you all know it.
