We need luck because our skill is lacking.

Dombroski did a great job getting Greene and Simon. In 8 of 13 games the Tigers have given up 1 run or less.

Just read this online before logging into our site.

This shouldn't really shock anyone. But for those true EA defenders, it outta give you something to seriously consider before you continue to do so.

How Rangers SP Nick Martinez can set a new club record Tuesday | | Dallas Morning News

Martinez has not allowed an earned run in 14 innings, which is tied with Jim Umbarger (1976) and Alexi Ogando (2011) for the fourth-longest streak by a starter without an earned run to begin a season. He needs to go five innings without an earned run to match record-holder Jon Matlack, who went 19 innings over a three-game period in 1980.

Ah, the greatness of Jon Matlack. Now that brings back some memories. The name of Jim Umbarger brings back some memories as well.

You could see things starting to click with Nick towards the end of last year. I think he has figured a few things out and seems to be very confident himself.

At the beginning of the year, Martinez and Tepesch were about the same in my book, but Martinez showed MUCH more growth in his one year than Tepesch did in his 2 previous, and I even like Tepesch

I think Martinez is going to be a solid one.... and he can pinch run if needed

I think Martinez may turn into a solid #3, but he should definitely be a good #4.

Pretty much what I was thinking, he just may never miss enough bats to be a #3, but that's ok, he gets outs

Glad to see this.

I'm glad to see this too. But if I'm reading this correctly, nothing much has or will change.

This subject was bantered around about a week ago, and it was my position then/now that due to the variance in injuries, and how they occurred, there wasn't much to be done about this. But, I'm glad to see them examine how they deal with the rehab process.

The team would have been negligent if they didn't at least look into the overall situation. Of nothing else, assure themselves they were/are doing all they can to avoid/correct/rehab the best they can.

Yep, that was certainly my position on it. The worst thing that could happen is that you confirm you're doing everything correctly.

And why they're at it, might take a look at the hitting department.

I'm making the call, a sweep. Now should that not happen please be nice and respect your elders. Just living in the past when we use to do such things.
