Pineda tossed!!

RBI Colby pls

These old ballparks - you almost have to demolish them before they get TOO old and people get too sentimental to ever tear them down.

Been there. It's a shithole.

Go Jays Go

Watchu talkin' about, Willis?? http://www.trendingplayers.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/Justin-Upton-arizona-return.jpg

Ah, s***. Well, sure glad he wasn't here making 14.3M

Zaun thinks they should "blow up" Wrigley field

Was wondering when Perez fantasy owners would start clamoring.

Cubs blew a lead in the 9th on the Wrigley 100th anniversary day. Gave up 5 runs in the 9th. Cubs will be Cubs.

Yikes

Done deal. There have been 4 complete games pitched in the AL so far this season. 2 of those are by Perez, both shutouts, in consecutive starts. Impressive. All Star??

Wat do U tell J A Happ

I leave McGowan in for several more starts before we know what he's really got. He's the first to go if he is failing, and is the one most likely replaced if Stroman is banging down the door in September. And yes, he is most likely to get hurt too. if he does, Redmond Happ or Stroman gets the spot. I don't envy AA in having to make THAT decision.

If Perez comes out for the 9th, he has a chance to pitch 2 consecutive complete game shutouts. Now has a streak of 25 consecutive scoreless innings. Nice

Quirky SSS stat - Perez has induced 11 double plays in 4 starts. On pace for an insane record number of them. Obv probably can't carry on at this pace but don't tell the Rangers broadcast team - they seem obsessed with it.

Martin Perez trying to finish off another gem. Shutout in the 8th but A's threatening for the first time all game.

Good thread, bad title, mind if I alter?

http://rangersblog.dallasnews.com/2014/04/texas-rangers-seem-to-have-swapped-roles-for-robinson-chirinos-j-p-arencibia.html/ OAKLAND, Calif. – When it comes to playing time during this week’s early-season showdown with Oakland, it will apparently be a clean sweep. Robinson Chirinos will start all three games behind the plate; J.P. Arencibia will start none. Manager Ron Washington started Chirinos on Monday and Tuesday night and said he’d “probably” be the starter for Wednesday’s day game. Usually, in a catching platoon, the catchers would split duties so that one didn’t have to play a day game following a night game. Washington, however, also wants to pair Chirinos and Wednesday starter LHP Martin Perez. The two were teammates in Venezuela are friends and have paired well in Perez’s first four starts. Perez takes a 17-inning scoreless streak into the start. The Rangers can play Chirinos three straight days knowing that they will be able to give him – along with the rest of the team – a day off on Thursday “He’s been getting better at everything,” Washington said of Chirinos. “We saw that in spring training. He’s been pretty good. He’s blocked balls well, he’s done a good job receiving.” Washington declined to say that Chirinos had taken over as the team’s starting catcher, but the playing situation suggests that is the case. “I’ve got two catchers,” Washington said. “I don’t have a number one and a number two.” Chirinos’ start Tuesday was his sixth in the Rangers’ last eight games. The Rangers were 5-0 in the give games with him before Tuesday.

Washington hates him http://isportsweb.com/wp-content/uploads//2013/09/Mad-Ron.jpg

Here's hoping. I'd love to see 40+ for the weekend games against Boston.

Thanks for correction. Here's a hat for you. (And JP) http://www.mickeysplace.com/images/DSC_0037.jpg

No doubt. He'll knock 30 out in AAA Red Rock.

It took me a second but I got it.
