Late Night Rangers Feldman on The Bump- Ugh

[Chief Yote]

Will one of you baseball guys please explain to me why Wash would use Feldman as a starter instead of Ogando? I just don't get it. A pitcher with a 4.85 lifetime era VS an 18 wins in 30 starts, 2.93 lifetime era guy?!?! What am I missing? Is Ogando too valuable in his current role?

I thought ogando was on the dl

Ogando is out until after the AllStar break with a hammy pull

Nap looks like an AL pitcher swinging these days

What I mean is,why has Feldman been the spot starter this entire year instead of Ogando?

[aggie2000tx]

Ogando is on the dl right now. Wash liked him in long relief if need be before he got hurt

the reason was that with Ogando, Adams, and Nathan the starter only had to give them 6 innings most nights. i hope that Ogando comes back and goes into the 7 inning role again. Feldman has done something that Ogando has not done. he won 17 in a year. i hope that when Roy gets here, feldman is made into long relief and let Grimm be the fifth starter until Holland is ready.

let Grimm be the fifth starter until Holland is ready.

Oh man I dont know about that,a lot of those pitches Grimm threw in his start were absolutely ripped.

I forgot about those 17 wins in 2010 when he was 7-11 with a 5.48

Because Ogando was much more valuable pitching 3 or 4 times a week out of the pen.

that sounds like a good plan

Thunder lost... Doesn't look good for them

[Dale Moser]

Lotta bitchin around here for a team that's won 4 straight!


I hear yall though. But it's tough to put a dominating line-up on the field with Young, Nap, Cruz, and Moreland so cold.....and Terrialba sucking so insanely bad. I feel like Gentry has earned more time also, but Ron loves the righty lefty thing, and he loves having Gentry on the bench.

i would rather send him out there than Feldman every fifth day.

Bummer, I loathe the Heat.

[Cable]

Dang. Feldman looking good. But the Padres are awful and PETCO is massive. Good for Scooter

[Smart]

Feldman and Ogando both get hit hard. The new guy, Grimm did as well. Feldman has pitched 2 decent games in his last three appearances yet all with little run support. Personally I don't know what to think. Feldman has had his chances, looked OK recently but he's lost 6. Ogando looked good last season and in his one start this year but has been hit hard in his relief. The new guy got hit hard but he did not break. They are all a crap shoot until they show some consistency.
