Lucky enough to catch this game today. I stood up for a good minute giving Harrison his due. Holy crap, what a roll he’s been on. Then Bank and Crush… Amazing. 1st PLACE TEXAS RANGERS!

Aardsma is good, but he's not untouchable.
But, yah.
I was waiting for Morrow (who seems injured to me… they should’ve rehabbed him rather than throwing him right back into the fire, imo).
Aardsma’s stuff is nasty, but he struggles with his control too often to be a dominant guy long term, imo. Our offense is very good, but we’re not exactly patient, so his weakness doesn’t hurt him as much versus the Rangers cause we’ll swing at his shit even when he struggles to throw it in the zone.

Morrow just came back from injury
but why does he seem injured right now? He had good velocity today, and he never had good command to begin with.
No kidding.
Anytime the bottom half of the Rangers’ lineup was up today, I was just rooting for them to take pitches so that we could get to the bullpen. I don’t know if I would call it a success, but at least they were able to force Hernandez out in time to see 2 innings of relief pitching.
BTW…Aardsma is not bad. For some reason, this surprises me.

Well, to be fair he was pretty terrible all the way through the second inning of that Baltimore start.
Anyone who hasn’t been watching all his starts to witness the transformation could easily look at the recent run of good starts and think that his track record of suck outweighs a recent run of good that could easily be a mirage.
But we’ve seen it.
We know that something changed for Harrison.
He looks like a whole different pitcher.

I was actually about as underwhelmed by it (at the time) as I think I could be by a walk off HR.
Not really any expression of excitement or anything, as opposed to last night when I was jumping up and down and shouting. I think after last night I just kind of assumed it was going to happen. That, and the Mariners announcers were so nonchalant about it. I probably felt about the same way I do for a Frankie save.
More removed from the game I’m on cloud nine, though.
I go to the head
ans come back to find CD hits a GW HR. Damn. Morrow is going to need some counseling.

I don't think...
I ever doubted him, but I was a little concerned. I certainly didn’t want him down in OKC like some did.
It’s just nice to see Wash stay patient with the guy and not start Blalock at 1B and Jones at DH everyday after he started off so slow. I was a little worried about that too.

Oh, I definitely doubted him.
I thought he needed to be sent down during his terrible beginning-of-the-season stretch. But he’s come out of it nicely.

But no, I’m no longer worried. He’s back.

So im setting in a conference room
With my senior, manager, and partner all in the room with me. Its the top of the 9th and Hank had just hit his out!! So im like freaking out starring at gameday. All three of them get up and go meet with our client.. I pull out the trusty iPhone and crank up At Bat 2009 and immediately turn it to the game just, and i mean with seconds to spare, get to hear, “hear’s the pitch, Davis with a high drive to centerfield……. OOOOOOMMMMMMMGGGGGG!!!!!!!
I immediately jumped straight out of my chair, knocked my water off the table, ran into the lobby to call a buddy. And the first words I hear from him on the other line is ……”FIRST PLACE TEXAS RANGERS!!! HELL YEAH BITCHES!!!!!

Though I have to say it seems he thought he got it a little better than he actually did, cause it landed in the 1st/2nd row, so it wasn’t like it was a no-doubter.
