Week of April 27th, 2013
In minor league news Mike Olt is back from the DL with vision problems. He'll be in Frisco. I'd love to see him play. He is so good at third base. I know he's just trading bate due to Adrian Beltre being at third, but that kid is good. Scratch that....he's in Round Rock at AAA now.
I read an article about catchers. There aren't a lot of good ones out there. MLB Catchers
So Chris Davis is a beast we traded for Uehara in 2011. Basically Davis was doing nothing for us at 1st or offensively. We traded him for a good reliever turned bad. So bad he was left of the post season roster the year we went to the world series and lost twice in one game to the Cardinals. What if he would have been able to pitch that fate fall inning? Now Uehara pitches mediocure baseball and Davis has one of the hottest bats in baseball. Hmmm... You can read more here Chris Davis Trade
Ogando had a great start going 6 innings on 60 pitches allowing just 2 runs and no walks at AA Frisco. He'll be coming off the 15 day DL and should be ready for the next 5th Starter sport. This will knock either Perez, Teopech, or Grimm out, but I'm guess Perez. The other two seem to have been solid thus far. Perez was all over the place last week. Ogando will be taking the mound on Wednesday.
Rangers vs. Diamondbacks (away)
Double Header for Memorial Day
27th- Game 1- 5-3 Rangers Lose- The good news, Martin Perez is finally back, bad news, Perez had zero command, the offense struck out 15 times before an attempt at a comeback in the 9th. It wasn't a good game.
Game 2-5-4 Rangers Lose- Darvish struck out 14 before giving up a homer in the 8th.The defense held their own against Cahill, and at the very least we can celebrate Cahill not getting the win.
TUESDAY WAS AN OFF DAY FOR THE RANGERS
Rangers vs. Diamondbacks (Home)
29th-POSTPONED
30th-9-5 Rangers win-We finally won a game. That's nice of the Rangers to do. Grimm had a good outing. Kirkman did not. Also did you know Robbie Ross has a .37 ERA. AMAZING.
Rangers vs. Royals (Home)
31st-7-2 Rangers Win- Holland went 7 innings and struck out eight and Beltre went 4-4. Good game gentleman.
1st-41- Rangers Lose- Well there was a lot of baseball. 10 innings of 1-1 boring baseball. Then in the 10th Robbie Ross with the bases loaded and nobody out had two amazing strikeouts before allowing a two singles to drive in 3 runners. It was exciting for a minute, then it wasn't. Robbie Ross with his .37 ERA doesn't have a .37 ERA anymore, but it's still pretty damn good. Everybody is allowed to make mistakes, especially in tough situations like that. Oh and Beltre left the game in the 10th due to a tight hamstring.
2nd- 3-1 Rangers Win- Beltre sat out due to his hamstring. Profar hit a 2 run homer to win the game. Read this reaction to the Darvish pitch count debacle, it's amusing. Darvish Pitch Count
Rangers lead AL West 2 games up.
2nd in MLB next to the Cardinals.
