Late last evening after the Rangers game was over, the word came down at the Regency street with the Chicago Cubs for one time first round pick Geovany Soto. He was treated for AA Frisco pitcher Jacob Brigham. Brigham is not a name it’s going to light the world on fire, I’m not entirely sure why the Cubs would want him. It’s probably more a case of wanting to get rid of Soto and had to get something back for him so they took this guy.
G101: Rangers look bad in 15-8 drubbing
I’m not going to say a lot about this game. It was bad. Granted, we did score 8, which was a lot more than we’ve been scoring lately. We actually were up 2-1 at one point. But that was a small sliver of good in this steaming pile of {censored}. :) [Read more…]
Moreland back from DL
- 1B Mitch Moreland activated from 15 day DL
- OF Leonys Martin optioned to AAA Round Rock [ Link ]
NOTES: Martin has been “ok”, but not spectacular. Hasn’t gotten a TON of playing time, either, so he’s probably the logical choice to go back down now that Moreland is back.
G100: Feldman (?!?!) dominates in 2-0 win
I was busy watching the Olympics with my daughter on Sunday night. That, coupled with the fact that Scott Feldman was starting was a reason for me not to pay attention to the Rangers game. Oh, I planned on looking in on it, but I got into the Olympics coverage, and didn’t peek in on the AtBat app until around the 7th inning or so. Man, I should have paid closer attention to this.
G99: Rangers lose to ChiSox, 5-2
I’d like to blame this on the Rangers starter, Matt Harrison, but I can’t. Not really. Oh sure, he gave up five runs over seven innings, so it’s nothing to write home about. But I blame this one on our suddenly flaccid offense. The Rangers offense has scored the fewest runs of any major league team in the month of July. Think about that. OUR OFFENSE. Worst of all the mlb teams this month. That’s quite a statement.
G98: Rangers end up losing big, 9-5
You always love games where the Rangers score four runs in the bottom of the first. It kind of sets the tone generally for the game. After the first frame, we were up 4-1. However, it didn’t stay that way. After two, we were up just 4-3. Then after four, we were down 5-4. After 7, 6-5, and after 9, the final score of 9-5. Sigh. So much for rushing out to an early lead. It didn’t hold up at all this game.
G97: Rangers beat Beckett & BOS, 5-3
I didn’t get to see or hear any of this game. I was out at my Church’s secondary worship facility, where.. There’s a pool. So I was poolside with church friends, enjoying that fellowship. I snuck a few peeks at the MLB At Bat app during the evening, but nothing that would constitute “watching” it. A lot of games these days are that way for me. Alas, no Fox Sports Southwest still. Sigh. [Read more…]
G96: Rangers lose tight one to Sox, 2-1
This game was frustrating for several reasons. Most obviously is that we lost the game 2 to 1. It was one where probably should’ve one but we didn’t. One of the other frustrating things that Ian Kinsler got ejected. I didn’t happen to hear that part of the game I was busy doing something else is the time when I tuned him he was already out. Thirdly was Adrian Beltre getting hit with a pitch late in the game and having to come out. Not good.

Working the backlog
I have started making a dent on the backlog of game updates. I’m still dealing with a pulled muscle in my arm, and it does hurt to sit at my desk for any length of time. Given I have so many of these to do I would be sitting there for quite a long time I don’t really feel like dealing with that pain.
When I decided to do is do the updates from my iPad using dictation. So these updates that you’re seeing since last June are all voice dictated into my iPad. In order to keep myself from multitasking from the WordPress app back to the MLB app on my iPad, decided to two-fist it and look at the updates and recaps on my iPhone with the MLB app into the dictation on my iPad.
I’m backdating them so they will appear in the proper order as to when they happened. At the rate I’m going it might take me another week to catch up, but I’ll get there. Thanks for visiting the site!
G95: Feldman surprises; BoSox bombed 9-1
I’ve decided that I’m going to start redoing current game updates. Still dictating from my iPad, but I will stay current and then fill in the missing months as I go along.
After his last attempt at starting had failed miserably this year I don’t think any Rangers fan wanted to see Scott Feldman as a starting pitcher in a Rangers game. Yet, that’s where we found ourselves on Monday. We’ve had some problems with the starting rotation recently. The most recent one was Colby Lewis being out for the year. And that’s pretty much why Scott Feldman was starting this game.
