New T.R. Sullivan mailbag
T.R. Sullivan has a new mailbag column up, with various interesting tidbits -- including his statement that Nelson Cruz "is definitely in the Rangers' 2009 outfield picture," but the lead item is probably the thing that jumped out the most at me: In my opinion, the two players who have not...
Labor Day stuff
Evan Grant has praise for Kevin Millwood and Frankie Francisco for their solid performances yesterday. Francisco came in and bailed out Jamey Wright who, once again, struggled. Wright has now allowed 15 runs in 15 innings for the month of August, he has a 6.15 ERA since June 1 (which understates...
Friday a.m. stuff
You know how I know the season is really over? Losses like last night's game, they don't really bother me. I mean, they do...blowing a 3 run lead in the 8th inning sucks, and I want the team to end up with a good record. But I wasn't even watching, once McCarthy left the game. I went to bed. ...
Sunday morning things
The Rangers supposedly didn't want to trade Jamey Wright at the deadline. One has to wonder, though, how much demand there really would have been out there for him. Wright now has a 9.00 ERA in 15 innings since July 1. He has 10 Ks, 7 walks, and 3 homers allowed during that span. I'm not sure...
Trade odds
I normally would wait until the beginning of the week to do a post like this, rather than put it up on the weekend, but zywica is going to be blogging Monday and Tuesday while I make a quick jaunt to D/FW to watch a couple of Ranger games, and besides, moves are going on this weekend, which could...
Thursday a.m. stuff
That could have gone better yesterday. And Warner Madrigal's major league debut could have gone a little bit better. Evan Grant's game story talks about the bullpen situation, and Ron Washington's hands largely being tied yesterday. With Eddie Guardado, Frankie Francisco, and Josh Rupe all...
Sunday a.m. stuff
Solid start by Scott Feldman, followed up by another bad outing from the bullpen. Evan Grant has some gory details of the pen's failures: With the three runs allowed, the relief ERA shot up to 5.45. It is the worst in the majors by more than half a run. In May, when the Rangers went 19-9, the...
Monday morning stuff
I'm still irritated by last night's game. That should have been a sweep. And the bullpen now has a 5.02 ERA on the year, which is not okay. Eddie Sefko's game story has this on the pulling of Scott Feldman: Had it not been a 90-some-degree day with hot breezes blowing, starter Scott Feldman...
Another move tomorrow?
I have to wonder if the Rangers aren't going to end up having to make another roster move tomorrow... The Rangers needed 6+ innings from the bullpen, and you have to figure Kam Loe is definitely unavailable tomorrow, after throwing 42 pitches today. Ditto Frankie Francisco, who threw 29 pitches...
Monday morning things
Frustrating, frustrating series against the Jays. Particularly last night's game, which was very winnable. The silver lining, such as it is, is that a lot of the offense's problems stem from not getting hits with RISP, and that is the sort of thing that evens out over the course of the...
