Holy crap – we’re over .500! How long has it been since we were that way – a couple of years now? :)
Anyway, it was nice to see one of the kids (Teixeira) lead us to a victory, especially with the troubling reports out of Texas this morning that Arod is going to stay in Texas logner than expected for medical treatments. Tex had two home runs, one from each side of the plate. Couldn’t see it, couldn’t hear it – but it was nice to see in the game reports online.
Our pitching was pretty good today, despite the 8 runs. 6 of the 8 were by Jay Powell, who got absolutely scorched, giving up 6ER in less than an inning of work. The other two were unearned, so overall, I’d say our pitching was pretty good, despite all the runs given up.
Glanville was 2 for 5, and is really making a push to be the leadoff hitter. Assuming, and I say assuming he can keep it up, it will be good for us. As of right now, he’s batting .333 with an OBP of.. well, I can’t find that on the Rangers site, but his slugging is .452. Have to imagine that his OBP is where we want a leadoff guy to be at.
I like Carl Everett, but it’s not without reason I nicknamed him “slow ass” last season. Hopefully Glanville gets to play center.

Figures. The only spring training night game during the week, and I was already occupied. My bowling league had to stay late, and all I got to hear of the game was the bottom of the 9th and the abbreviated post game show. Made me wish for the regular season even more. :)

Didn’t get to listen to much of this game at all – too busy at work. Hate day games for that reason – have I said that already? :)

I’ve come to the conclusion that I don’t like listening to my own team with the mlb.com broadcast team. The reason is that these guys spend most of their time talking about something else besides the game, or when they take emails, it’s a question that anyone who follows the team already knows. I realize their audience is wider than that, but I”d rather hear Eric & Vince, thank you.
Having said that, it was nice to see a win, but I still don’t like giving up that many runs and still winning. Won’t win any ERA titles, but a win is a win. Nice three run homer by Ruben Sierra, and the game went back and forth a few times – which is always nice to see. We’ve scored 71 runs over the last 6 games – rather a lot. I’d rather win 3-1 games, though. :)

I didn’t get to hear any of this game, as it was a “spend the day with the wife” day. Which was fine, but I sacrificed a Ranger game for that. :) Was nice to see us come out on top, although I would have preferred we not give up 8 runs doing it.

I started listening to this game on the radio, as I had a fantasy baseball league draft that was on at the same time. However, I did not finish listening to the game. Our pitching was horrible, giving up a lot of runs (12), and well… that’s all I can remember. If we had anything good in this game, it was overshadowed by another crappy Texas pitching performance.

As I sit here to write this on Monday, I can’t remember a thing about this game. Friday I went home from work sick, and I normally update the page in the morning before I get started with my work – but I wasn’t feeling up to it, and now 4 days later, I can’t recall a thing about the game, so no commentary from me. Was nice to see 3 in a row. :)

This game was not broadcast anywhere, but it was nice to see a win for a change this spring. No commentary from me as I didn’t hear any of it.

Forgot this was on, and when I turned it in, we were winning something like 7-1. Then I got to hear the Rangers give it all back, and then lose it in extra innings.
Don’t have time to write about this on Wednesday, but given as I didn’t hear the Rangers score all their runs anyway, all I can comment on is bad pitching, and I don’t feel like doing that. :)
