Our misery against the Royals continues. While this game was on during the evening, I forgot about it until the game was mostly over, and we only scored a single run during the time I was listening to the game. Once again, I need to point out that I have a hard time paying attention to the game when it’s not our guys doing the announcing. I’m hoping that the Rangers TV (!) game that is on the schedule for this coming Saturday has our guys doing the announcing.
Our pitching again was distressing, with Powell, Benoit, & Mahay giving up too much for the time they were in the game. The rest of the guys didn’t give up much, but the feeling is still (to me, anyway) that we’re giving up too much. I don’t have a lot of confidence going into the season here.
On the other side, I see we jacked a few home runs from two that are going to be on the opening day roster (I think) – Blalock & Sierra. I just hope we can keep the runs coming, although we’ll have to not give up NINE at the same time.

This game wasn’t even supposed to happen – this was a scheduled day off, but with the Mariners/A’s canceling their trip to Japan because of the war in Iraq, they were available, so we played them. I forgot the game was even on, as it started much earlier than usual, and I only heard the bottom of the 9th, when the Rangers scored their one run, which wasn’t really deserved, anyway.
I’m really starting to get distressed about our pitching. So far the only name that I’ve heard consistently bright spots about is Aaron Fultz. Beyond that, it seems that most everyone is having problems.

Yet another spring training game I didn’t get to see or hear anything of. And from the looks of it, if I tried to score it, my scorecard would have been a nightmare! :)

I tuned into this game on the net right after our 8 run inning, and missed everything. :)
Chan Ho Park gave up a home run on the first pitch, but then nothing else, pitching 4+ innings of scoreless after that incident. Sounds good to me. I can’t wait for the real season – these teases are getting annoying. :)

Rainout. Nothing to report.

Didn’t see anything about this game at all, so no commentary from me.

What a mess. That’s about all I feel about writing for this one.
