LeClerc has sort of a block against lefties at the moment, it appears

Looks like it was 7 straight balls but Leon and the ump have helped out in this AB

Walk the 9 hole guy and then almost give up a HR to the next guy. Frieri may need to go to the Bay area for some pitching instruction?

The only way we were going to win this one is if we walked off in the 9th. The pen is sad.

Oh well. It's only one game. If it wasn't for Napoli going deep in the 9th, he wouldn't have been out there. It could still end up being true. Kela is dinged up, Barnette stinks, and bush is shaky at best. The bullpen had 4 blown saves on the last road trip alone. I'm just trying to look for something that's probably not there. All one can do is have hope and the guys we had at the beginning of the season don't inspire a lot of confidence

It's just a bad bullpen, and it'll take awhile to rebuild it.

We could probably trade Feriri and Barnette for an old duffle bag and used hockey pucks for the Stars to use.

Closer by committee..........The reason the Rangers have resorted to this is because they’ve blown 17 saves, as many wins-turned-into-losses as they committed all last year. Consider if they’d converted, say, five of those. Houston would still remain far out front, but the Rangers would lead the wild card standings, and you wouldn’t be screaming at your big screen TV.

No matter what else you hear about the Rangers’ other problems this season -- a record-breaking strikeout rate, injured starters, the hieroglyphics in the outfield grass at the Globe -- the bullpen is unquestionably the chief culprit for the Rangers’ current middling state. Nothing demoralizes a club like a bad bullpen. A hitter can strike out, a fielder throw one away, a manager get brain-lock, and it’s just part of the game. But let a closer blow a save, and listen to the crickets in the clubhouse.
