Do you like trying only the finest 4-6-3?

Also, Ogando should probably not leave another 2-strike pitch up.

Because his ERA is no longer 0.00? Allowing 5 to the Yankees isn't the end of the world... just a bit of a reality check.
Not at all. He will learn a lot from that game. Maddox will have plenty to work on and help him. He needs to do a better job mixing up his pitches. I think he'll be fine. 4-5 on the road is not terrible. Play .500 ball on the road and win the home series and this team will be sitting just fine. The hardest part if the road trip was how we lost 3 of the 5 games... It really seemed like we always found a way to win those last year....I sure hope Strop is ready to be a contributer. We need a good 8th inning guy in a very bad way. Then we can play the matchups in the 7th with the 2 Darrens, Rhodes and Tobin. Let's get 2 of 3 from LAA.

Good news. The wildfires at PK are all gone. The gusts of air from Chris Davis' strikeouts blew them all out.Are we really going to go through this again?

I know there are so-called 4A players, but I can't recall a guy who is essentially Babe Ruth in AAA & Spring Training, but looks a high schooler when he gets to the big leagues. Plenty of guys don't make because you always throw them a breaking ball, but he looks like he has never seen a curve, and then still gets beat with average fastballs on the inside of plate. Amazing.

Did someone tell Beltre that he is playing for another contract? My mancrush grows by the day with this guy. He had me with the glove, now he adds the bat.
Good, not great outing by CJ. 9Ks but 10 baserunners. But will take it. Murphy in CF was interesting, really gives you a chance to get as many bats in the lineup as possible.

I don't know. That was cover your eyes bad at times. It has to be mental? Right? Right?The only valid excuse/reason for this seems to be that he's a little too tall to have such a long swing. He then is forced to commit early and the speed increase from AAA to the bigs is going to catch up to him. Or something.

I think with Teagarden being called up, it should actually help Napoli get more ABs as the OSB doesn't have to worry about Napoli being the only catcher available off the bench.
Wearing red again Saturday night.
Bullpen just went from bad to terrible. Not good.Wish they would have put him on Thursday....

He is retro active to Thursday, but still the Rangers are the longest stretch of the season w/o a day off, so 15 days =15 games no matter what. At least there is a reason that he could find strike zone, although I hope there nothing more to this.

Evan Grant is saying that it's Oliver's job while Feliz is out.
Is this guy reliable enough to go out and grab Oliver?

Yeah, I hope they won't use him in three straight games. I'm already worried about overuse.

Remember when sweeping the Royals at home really meant something??
Yeah, me neither.
Tomko's two innings yesterday gives you a really good picture of how this bullpen is, which means you have no idea at all what you are going to get, one inning from the next.
And I love how CJ strikes out 10 and still feels he didn't have a good game. Maybe it's shtick, maybe not, but this guy seems driven to get better every single time out.

If you can't sweep the Royals at home with half a bullpen and your MVP gone then I don't know what to tell you.I mean the Rangers take/took a lot of crap about not being competitive etc. etc. but the Royals haven't really been in the mix for anything since 1986.

As soon as Hunter is ready, I think Lewis makes a mysterious trip to the DL. "Dead Arm" as the cause du jour

Thats what they get for being too scared to pitch to Bautista.Meltdown in progress.
Good news CJ is pitching well. Bad news our bats are on vacation.
I'm not sure why Wash sat Ogando after the 6th the other night. Pitch count was 95 and he was throwing strikes. Should have pitched him in 7th brought Eppley in the 8th and Strop in 9th. With a shaky pen you've got to ride your starters deeper if they are holding up.

Boy I wish I knew....the problem is obious....getting it fixed before it gets to his head or they yank him from the rotation is quite a different thing.He started the year POUNDING the strike zone And LOW in the zoneThe past two starts have been terrible and he has had practically zero contron of anythingSure hope Maddux can help him turn it around'Bogart said:
