Not sure why

Did I miss something? Hopefully not an injury. . .I didn't catch the game.

The Rangers...

had two men on with Koronka coming up. They pinch hit Botts for Koronka.

I agreed

with the decision at the time. In a close game like that having runners on first and second with one out is worth a shot with a PH, IMO.

Got trust factor?

I didn't

I think you have Koronka bunt, and then see what GMJ can do with two runners in scoring position and two outs.

I think that was a classic case of an AL manager over-reacting to a situation, and losing a pitcher who was throwing well and could have gone another two or three innings.

I think...

It was a classic example of why NL baseball sucks.

Because Managers

actually have to manage?

taking a pitcher out when he is doing well? I hate that you feel obligated to pull a pitcher even if he is doing well just because you need a run. I think managing what the players do on the field should be their worry not making subs because you have a pitcher batting next.

MLB doesn't want the Rangers to succeed.
