Great article. But I don’t really get the EG talk to FF. Was EG telling him to pitch through it? Or was EG telling him that it was good to avoid pushing the soreness?

5 innings 5 earned runs loss bad outing
5 2/3 innings 3 earned runs nd team won ok

Last night there were two (I think) incidents in which “defensive indifference” took the double play out of the game. The Rangers seem to have a lot of this and I wonder if this is being addressed. You don’t see a lot of other teams afflicted with such a reckless approach to baserunners.

[...] Evan Grant says that Eddie Guardado’s contributions yesterday were huge, both with his performance in the 8th in relief of Kevin Millwood, after Millwood got into some trouble, and afterwards, talking to Frankie Francisco about dealing with the sore shoulder that kept Francisco out of last night’s game.

When I dropped in on Surprise this spring, I saw Eddie standing in one spot for over an hour signing autographs. I’m sure he probably was aching somewhere on his body, but still he stood there, signing for any youngster or old guy who came along. I was so impressed by his professionalism.

I love being made to look stupid (I’m quite good at it, actually). Wasn’t I calling for his release 3 weeks ago? This guys seems like perfect management material (think Ozzie G, but without being a doushe).
