Sure, Ranger all-star pitcher C.J. Wilson is good at baseball. But does he know who he dominates, or who shares his birthday, or book lessons from his youth? Find out in “BSG: Rapid Fire with C.J. Wilson” www.BattingStanceGuy.com Twitter: @BattingStanceG

There is a chance Texas Rangers pitching coach Mike Maddux missed these Yankee tricks….CJ Wilson, now you have a backyard scouting report for ALCS Game 1. Good luck, amigo. Do work.

Yanks & Phils are in the LCS. Reds & Twins are out. Four teams remain in LDS: Rays, Rangers, Giants & Braves. BSG looks at one player per team for next 2 elimination games. Kinsler, Pena, Diaz & Sanchez, beware. You are a breath of fresh comedy amidst series intensity. Thank you. It’s Who to Watch! www.battingstanceguy.com

The regular season has ended. Already?! One must focus on the last week in order to know what is next. – ancient Chinese sage once said. Well we do that here. Playoffs are set. Records were attained. Even The Hoff will be referenced. It’s the Week in Review!

Only one week remains in the 2010 MLB regular season. What player is crossing their name off the saddest list in baseball? I won’t give you any hints. It’s the Week in Review…….. from Michael Young’s High School.

Justin Smoak is the prize that landed the Rangers Cliff Lee. Lost fans will appreciate when pitcher Matt Fox faces Justin Smoak. Monster of a showdown. Rookie Watch from the dirty south!

If you’ve read his book, then you know BSG is a bay area native. If not, Amazon’s got plenty of copies of A Love Letter to Baseball just waiting for you to enjoy! So it was quite the homecoming last week when BSG took the field at Oakland Coliseum to chat it up with the A’s. Only slightly less interesting to the crowd than the post-game fireworks, BSG was still able to talk stances with Andrew Bailey and Daric Barton. Enjoy!
14. May 2010
The Rangers looked good in their first test against prominent division rivals, the Oakland A’s, winning the series this week 2-1. And as they head up to Toronto today to challenge the mighty Blue Jays, BSG takes a look at what makes this such a great stance team. With the Angels on the decline, C.J. Wilson getting things done on the mound, and Hamilton, Kinsler, and Cruz at the plate, might this be the year the Rangers add a 2nd win to their postseason journal? Or is it just the year you buy a book about batting stances? Either way, it’s the 2010 Rangers.
9. May 2010
Congratulations to Dallas Braden on his perfect game against the Rays today!! A perfect pitcher with a great stance too??!! It’a an embarrassment of riches. Enjoy it A’s fans.

Fun fact for the day: today in 1986 Roger Clemens struck out 20 Mariners. The M’s are lookin better in 2010 though, and after a pre-season cover appearance on ESPN The Magazine, they’re the trendy pick in the AL West. Maybe folks are just sick of the Angels taking it, who knows. If you’re not familiar with the new Seattle lineup, BSG doesn’t miss a one. Here are your 2010 Seattle Mariners. Enjoy!
27. April 2010
Fresh off his career 1000th hit, BSG takes a look at Hideki Matsui and the rest of the 2010 Angels. Just how does Mike Scioscia keep this club at the top of the AL West and competing in the playoffs year after year? BSG isn’t sure, but he loves the lineup and the fact that the All-Star game will be in Anaheim this year. Enjoy your 2010 Angels!
4. January 2010
Chris Johnson joined the 2,000 club yesterday. Congrats, but Nolan’s number was bigger, and his club is still more exclusive.

Postseason heroics from Spiezio and the Angels.

So we’re not gonna lie, with BSG being based outta LA, a Dodgers/Angles World Series has a nice ring to it. So to help things along, this week we’ll be taking a look at some classic moments in both teams’ histories. Today, we’re leading off with the Jim Edmonds 1997 marvel known simply to Angels fans as, “The Catch.” Niners fans, take no offense, we still love Dwight Clark too. Enjoy!

If the Rangers catch the Red Sox in the AL wildcard race this year, you can bet this guy will play a major part. We’re certainly pulling for him. So to get you Rangers fans in the right state-of-mind (cause we know Texans have confidence issues) here’s a look back at Josh Hamilton’s 1st ever MLB walk-off HR from July 10, 2008 against the division rival Angels. Enjoy!
25. July 2009
The winner of this week’s video poll, and the first of many FSN/BSG Classic Moments we’ll be sharing with you here on the site, is none other than the Kirk Gibson’s game winning HR off Dennis Eckersley in Game 1 of the 1988 World Series. It’s all there folks, the Magnum PI staches, the fist pumps, Tommy Lasorda’s gut, it’s really just as good as it gets. To make things extra fun, we’ve included the original footage. See if you can tell em apart. Here’s a hint, in the real game they used a ball. Enjoy!
