Hey, if it's AAA pitching, maybe Wood and S-Rod will be able to hit him.
Not his second career start though, just his second with the Rangers. McCarthy was with the White Sox for a while. They traded him for John Danks. Now Danks is a staff ace, and McCarthy is still trying to prove he’s a big league pitcher.

That Figgy CS
Is all on Soth, 4 runs down, Figgy coming off a foot injury and 0-2 in his last two stolen base attempts. Heart of the lineup coming up against a lousy pitching staff.
Have you EVER heard of a Red Light Soth?
Remember...
it is better to go through this now than when the playoffs roll around. Let HK be hurt now. So what? Let B-Wood and S-Rod get some AB’s to see how 2009 really looks. Who cares if Garland sucks for a starts or three – his ass will be in the pen in October and on another team next year.
If the team is healthy in October none of this will matter – aside from home field advantage.
Everyone relax – I’d rather they suck up the joint now than in 5 weeks. And, this is coming from a SABR pessimist – so there!

HYPOCRITE
take it back – either McCarthy is wild and Angels are dumbfucks for swinging at the 1st pitch or not
WHICH IS IT?
it was a pitch down the middle in an 0-2 count
how do you NOT swing???
gotta protect the plate when it’s 0-2.

Because he has power and

He calls a fine game and don’t try to say that the meltdowns tonight and last night by the SP’s are his fault. The dude brings his stick to the park. He isn’t great, but he is a slugging machine and I’ll take that from my catcher every day of the week…

A dropping K rate is BAD news, as is a low K rate.
Garland has never had good K rates, hence his consistent mediocrity. But a DROPPING K rate is a sign he could really suck going forward.

Am I the only one that is happy with the progress Wood is making
even DURING abs, he goes from missing pitches to hitting them. Before he would have swung and missed every time.
Try to remember he’s still ONLY 23, and not Miguel Tejada 23 either.
How old was K-Rod when he won all those games in 2002 ?
If GA wasn't so lazy the Halos woulda won the 2008 WS by now.
comparing pitchers to power hitters?
not the best of comparisions. Why don’t you argue by showing what today’s power hittters were doing when they were 23.
i just didnt see any progress in that AB

Here here... Progress to me is not sucking at the plate.
If GA wasn't so lazy the Halos woulda won the 2008 WS by now.
I'm not saying he's arrived by any means
But he looks a lot better than he has. And 3/4 of the team swing at that pitch. You’re telling me Vlad and Hunter at a minimum don’t swing at that pitch after just seeing a fastball with the bases juiced?
Well hmm... Vladdy.... Hunter... They don't suck.. Even when they suck they keep above .250 for the year
If GA wasn't so lazy the Halos woulda won the 2008 WS by now.
and Hunter didn't have an OPS + of above 100
until he was 25 and even then it was 101, but the Twins had given him abs for two whole years before that.
yes I'm serious
the last 2 months in AAA he really did improve his BB/K rate and seeming him at the major league level right now it does seem like he is making better contact.
i dont think infield flies are better contact
but i guess an infield fly is better than a k? its hard to say
They tooled him... Threw only breaking balls and he had no plan
If GA wasn't so lazy the Halos woulda won the 2008 WS by now.
Texas pitching is not good ...might be Triple A

Pressure pushing down on me
Pressing down on you no man ask for
Under pressure – that burns a building down
Splits a family in two
Puts people on streets
It’s the terror of knowing
What this world is about
Watching some good friends
Screaming ‘Let me out’
Pray tomorrow – gets me higher
Pressure on people – people on streets
Chippin’ around – kick my brains around the floor
These are the days it never rains but it pours
People on streets – ee da de da de
People on streets – ee da de da de da de da
It’s the terror of knowing
What this world is about
Watching some good friends
Screaming ‘Let me out’
Pray tomorrow – gets me higher high high
Pressure on people – people on streets
Turned away from it all like a blind man
Sat on a fence but it don’t work
Keep coming up with love
but it’s so slashed and torn
Why – why – why ?
Love love love love love
Insanity laughs under pressure we’re cracking
Can’t we give ourselves one more chance
Why can’t we give love that one more chance
Why can’t we give love give love give love give love
give love give love give love give love give love
‘Cause love’s such an old fashioned word
And love dares you to care for
The people on the edge of the night
And loves dares you to change our way of
Caring about ourselves
If GA wasn't so lazy the Halos woulda won the 2008 WS by now.
