Wednesday a.m. stuff
10 games left in the season. The Rangers are 2 under .500, 4 up on Oakland. You have to give the team credit, though...they don't quit. Down 2 in the bottom of the 9th in a meaningless game, Marlon Byrd comes through with a game-tying triple, and appears likely to exceed last season's OBP and...
A couple of random observations
Scott Feldman's line allowed by pitch count (before yesterday's game): 1-25 -- .293/.385/.526 26-50 -- .235/.333/.417 51-75 -- .250/.343/.422 76-100 -- .327/.364/.541 Makes you think that, as someone who has been relieving for a while, his big issue is running out of gas at about 80...
Cruz to start, Boggs to the bench
Hadn't seen this mentioned yet, but apparently, per the S-T blog, Nelson Cruz will be the everyday right fielder, with Marlon Byrd playing left field and Brandon Boggs heading to the bench as the fourth outfielder. Meh.
Wednesday a.m. stuff
I wish I had something meaningful and profound to offer after last night's fiasco. But I don't. I don't know what there is to say after something like that. Marlon Byrd sounds frustrated: "I just don't know how many times you can do this," acknowledged outfielder Marlon Byrd, who went...
Sunday morning things
This has been a lousy few days for Rangers fans. 4 game losing streak. David Murphy and C.J. Wilson out for significant time. 7 1/2 games back in the wild card race. And last night, another ugly blowout loss. Evan Grant says Eddie Guardado and Marlon Byrd, the "most vocal leaders" on the team,...
Batting Marlon Byrd in the #5 spot
The recent phenomenon of Marlon Byrd hitting in the #5 spot in the lineup has caused a fair amount of discussion, and I decided to take a closer look at it. It is worth noting that there have been only three players who have gotten significant time in the #5 spot -- Hank Blalock, Marlon Byrd, and...
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...
On Nelson Cruz
Ken Rosenthal's latest has some tidbits on the Rangers: The Rangers, who probably will not trade designated hitter Milton Bradley unless they receive an overwhelming offer, are getting calls on two of their right-handed hitting outfielders — Marlon Byrd and Nelson Cruz, who has hit 31 home...
Friday a.m. stuff
There is praise for Kevin Millwood today, as the Rangers finally had a starting pitcher go out in the ugly wind conditions at TBIA and give the Rangers some quality innings. After a difficult first, Millwood shut the Indians out over the next 5, and gave the team a chance to come back and get back...
Sunday morning things
The Rangers enter June 1 game above .500. Not bad for a team in rebuilding mode, that was largely written off as irrelevant before the season started. The Rangers won 19 games in May, a record for the month, and the first time the Rangers have won 19 games in a month since 1983. Anthony Andro...
