Week of April 29, 2013

Something to feel good about. Josh Hamilton just had a night of hitting 0-8! His current hitting line is is 202/.246/.298 and for those that don't happen to know what that means it sucks. He's batting .202, making it to base .246 times, and slugging (hitting) .298 times. Aren't we glad he's not on our team.

Through 25 games Murphy (LHB) Moreland (LHB) and Martin (LHB) seem to be struggling and bad. Seems we need to be working better from the left side. All the rest seem to be doing respectively well....when they decide to hit.

Harrison has to have a second surgery on his back, but it should not keep him out longer. Just the expect due back date of August 1st as if that isn't already bad. Uggg

Perez and Lewis are both starting their Rehab starts in Frisco and Round Rock respectively and both should be back by the beginning of next month. That's a yeah. I should suspect that Grimm with be taken out first and then Tepesch although I hate to see him go because he's done well.

Yu Darvish is the April Player of the month.

The Rangers had an off game the 29th before starting a week long home stand against the white sox and then red sox.

Rangers against the White Sox (Home)

30th-5-0 Rangers lost because they can't hit. I this this is becoming a theme this year.

31st-10-6 Rangers Win- Mooreland showed up going 3-3 with a walk! About time.

1st-5-2 Rangers Lose-Umm we couldn't manage to hit with runners in position after having five Rangers in a row reach base. What?? Aparently Soto in particular doesn't know how to get around the bases when needed to....

2nd- 3-1- Rangers Lost. I don't have anything for this game except the the Rangers lost the series because of terrible offense. The Rangers were outscored 19-10.  It's the first series they have lost this year. I'm not too disappointed after all the successes we can celebrate thus far. 

Rangers against the Red Sox (Home)

3rd-7-0 Rangers Won- The bats were hitting. Enough said.

4th-5-1 Rangers Won- Ogando pitched a fantastic game, Gentry hit a home run, and our pitching is keeping us in first clearly seen when we can sweep a series against the second best line up in baseball.

5th-4-3- Rangers win a tied game, bottom of the ninth, 2 outs, two on base and Beltre batting after Berkman was intentionally walked. I'm not sure why they would do that, but they did. Beltre hits a single to drive in Andrus and we win the game. Glorious I say.

Another week in the book. Rangers on top 2.5 games.
