The world of middle relief is a year to year proposition though. Some years a guy has it, some years he doesn't. It's not like Cotts has a long track record of reliability.

Wash will stick with a player and get a loss in April, if he thinks staying with that player will get him wins in Sept.

Here's the thing: Wins in September don't count anymore than wins in April. The idea is to win as many as you can in both so you can win some in October.

- Then we'll have to disagree philosophically... not mathematically. Technically, says the Halos... wins in April are much more important. If you are effectively eliminated from the playoffs by July, your team dismantles and won't make the necessary moves to get even better.

This is amateurish:

Technically, they count all the wins up and that decides who gets to go to the playoffs... but if two teams go into the playoffs, and one team had a great April and a poor September... the other a poor April and a great September... I'm going to take the team heading into the playoffs with the Mo.

... it isn't about winning some in October... its about winning the last game in October. Only one team wins the last post season game. That's the team I want the Rangers to be.

Colby going tonight

Tepesch going for Round Rock.
Luke Jackson going for Frisco.
Both off to a great start.

Mariners get a lead off home run. King Felix is pitching.

Lewis throwing BP out there

GD it I love Adrian Beltre

That was an amazing at-bat for Beltre. I've always liked him.

DAMN YOU WASH!

2nd and 3rd with less than two outs and you let Murphy hit? Seriously?

How do you let two guys strike out with men at 2nd and 3rd, less than 2 outs. You are the most horrible manager in the world!


#OverheardOnTexags

That was a foul ball. Wtf

Don't be a beech, Dallasag. It's not becoming.

WASH!

This game is on YOU! YES YOU!

How could you send Colby back out there after the BP he threw.

We're down 2-0 and they have Felix on the mound! This game is as good as lost and it is ALL YOUR FAULT WASH!

Danny ... it isn't just you... I do this every year... probably 3... 4 years now?

Was it less retarded when you first started doing it?

Probably not.

Just as enjoyable, though.

Station-to-station... let's get some runs.

WOW.

The hell was up with dumping seeds on Darvish?

What an AB Prince.

Tie game...that's all I can ask after falling down 3-0 to King Felix

Updates:
AAA
Tepesch (W) - 9.0 IP \ 5 H \ 0 ER \ 6 SO \ 0 BB
Now 4-1 with a 1.82 ERA.

AA
Jackson - 6.0 IP \ 4 H \ 1 ER \ 6 SO \ 1 BB
2.63 ERA, 2-0 with a chance to go 3-0 if it holds tonight.

Good stuff DA!

Don't be in a hurry to make that play, Poreda. Damn.

Safe!

I think he was safe.

His foot was down but I think he's short of the bag. He did too as he chose to drag his foot across it.

That last replay shows the bag squish and move... he was safe.

I'll take the out.

Toss Mclelland.

Ridiculous!

Replay in baseball is so dumb.

I like the intent of replay... but am against over regulation... it doesn't really fix anything it just moves the decisions from a local to a central group.

They'll still get it wrong and did tonight.

I'm glad they added it. Some of them are still too close to call, but I think they are doing a good job of being quick and decisive. I don't think it's hurt the flow of the game at all, and if we can get some additional calls correct (and some could be huge) with minimal disruption, then I'm all for it.

Btw, the base didn't squish until after he kept moving forward, and the ball was caught basically simultaneously with his foot hitting the ground. The zoomed in replay didn't show where the ball was at that point. I can't say they got it right or wrong. Very close.
