Hmmm.

Think I would have went with Choice at DH and Murphy at 2B.

I agree Choice over Moreland, but that is Wash going with the guy who knows CLee and provides experience over a guy who had a far superior ST.

Also, it isn't unusual for Wash to go with the Veteran. Moreland has earned his stripes (in Wash's mind) on the team to be the starter on Opening Day.

I don't know Murphy... I had the impression Wilson was the favorite to platoon at 2B against LHP.

Know what the difference between hitting .250 and .300 is? It's 25 hits. 25 hits in 500 at bats is 50 points, okay? There's 6 months in a season, that's about 25 weeks. That means if you get just one extra flare a week - just one - a gorp... you get a groundball, you get a groundball with eyes... you get a dying quail, just one more dying quail a week... and you're in Yankee Stadium.

Good points.

I was just going with who had the hotter bats at the end of ST.

Eh, Wash being Wash. It's only the first game, so I won't bash him just yet. I would have liked to see Choice out there, though. I'm sure we will sooner rather than later.

They'll hedge the criticism for now. If Moreland goes 0-Fer, you can rest assured the drumbeat will resonate about how Choice was the hot-bat... Right-Lefty... Wash is a moron.

First missed play by Wilson and Kinsler-this... Murphy-that... Who knew David Murphy played 2B.

Relax; it's funny to me it took zero days to question his lineup.

Choice has position flex Mitch doesn't and if Mitch sits sub 250 on LHP he won't be DHing long.

Finally done with conference call... Rangers Live! Pregame is on... nice little Papa John's promo... I want some pizza.

Time for lunch.

Hot dogs? Popcorn? Ugh... think I can make it to Arlington?

Does Prince go yard, today? I think so! Twice!

am I the only one that's just not that excited about the Rangers this year?

most of the guys that made the team fun to follow are either retired, playing elsewhere, or hurt

Not watching, but itsn't that pretty much par for the course for Knox? I just assumed he was always hammered, with his antics!

I should have taken the day off and stayed home to watch. But nope, I'm stuck in my office with no way to watch the game. I will listen via MLB at Bat thought.
