G95: Feldman surprises; BoSox bombed 9-1

Posted by on at http://mlb.mlb.com/mlb/gameday/index.jsp?gid=2012_07_23_bosmlb_texmlb_1&mode=wrap>MLB.com Recap

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.

Colby Lewis BACK to DL

Posted by on at

  • P Colby Lewis placed on 15 Day DL, retro to last Thursday
  • P Martin Perez (#33) recalled from AAA [ Link ]

NOTES: Remember that transaction a few days ago?  Forget it.  Colby’s back to DL, and this time, he’s not coming back.  He’s out for the year.  Bummer.

Is it just me or has Josh Hamilton’s swing lately been looking like Chris Davis’ gigantic wheelhouse swing? Not liking that.

  • P Colby Lewis activated from DL
  • P Martin Perez optioned to AAA Round Rock [ Link ]

NOTES: Uh, OK, Colby is back.   Perez wasn’t going to say.  Non exciting, and unsurprising move.

  • P Alexi Ogando activated from 15 day DL
  • C Yorvit Torrealba placed on MLB Paternity Leave List [ Link ]
NOTES: Well, that explains why Luis Martinez was recalled a couple of days ago.  :)

I’m still here

In the last two weeks I’ve come down with a pulled muscle in my neck that is made more painful if I do things that involve my hands.  Such as typing for any length of time, and playing videogames.   That’s why I’ve disappeared.  When this clears up, I’ll play catch up, but I didn’t want people to think I’ve abandoned ship.

Luis Martinez recalled

  • C Luis Martinez (#15) recalled from AAA Round Rock
  • P Yoshinori Tateyama optioned to AAA Round Rock

NOTES: Not entirely sure why we picked up a third catcher here.

Derek Holland Back from DL

  • P Derek Holland activated from DL
  • P Justin Grimm optioned to AA Frisco [ Link ]

NOTES: No surprise, we knew Holland was coming back, and I didn’t think Grimm was a realistic long term option right now, despite his first start.

Mark Lowe to DL

  • P Mark Lowe placed on 15 day DL
  • P Yoshinori Tateyama recalled from AAA [ Link ]
NOTES: Yawn.

G76: Rangers win slugfest, 13-9

Posted by on at

Ah yes, another one of those lovely well pitched games where the box score shows you have 22 runs and 34 hits. That means there will be not much good to write about pitching wise. But I might try and find something anyway.
