Can't wait!

After watching so much ST from other teams, I cannot wait to get a look at the Rangers. A lot of interesting sub-plots in this game, none bigger than how Colby does

What's the rumpus?

Luis Sardinas just flashed serious range to his left; very smooth glove and quick reactions. Profar and L. Garcia looking good as well. Lots of defensive talent at the position. Herrera wasn’t a slouch either.

RHP Neil Ramirez showing zip on his FB and command. CB wasn’t sharp and lacked depth. The FB command was encouraging. Ramirez looks more focused and comfortable on the mound.

I found the game on directv on channel 694, its the Fox Sports Paciffic channel, it might switch to blackout soon, but it might work… Its not on any of the usual channels for Rangers channels, so I bet the txa 21 ST games arent making it on directv this year.

No

It’s probably more of a fuel filter or carbureter issue. I would bet some gas has been sitting in the mower all winter, and that can cause all kinds of problems. It only takes a couple months for gas to break down and really screw things up. It propbably needs a new spark plug too, but I don’t think that’s the issue.

Four seam looked like it had good velo, a handful of clearly late swings, though from also-ran types. A few good breaking balls, but a little inconsistent. Wasn’t getting a lot of swings at balls down, probably one of those things he’s going to have to figure out. I wasn’t paying close enough attention to pick out cutters.
