so far so good (yes its very early)......pitching has looked good and besides that one pitch nathan looks fine so far......here is to a very good year(hopefully)

Can't ask for much better than 5 runs through 3 games

I think its pretty obvious the Rangers are comfortable pulling their starter after aboout 6 innings so far

6 & 2ER, 6 & 3 ER, and 6 and 0 ER thus far

Well the pitchers have all been around 100 pitches after 6 so far and it's very early to be asking them to throw 115-120 pitches. As the season progresses I think you'll see some of them being asked to go out for the 7th in those cases.

I'm thrilled after one series. Can't ask for much more. Considering what Nathan is coming back from, I'm not concerned about Sat night either. We have our hitters playing well and our pitchers pitching well. Right now it seems like we are scoring mostly on the longball, but manufacturing runs will come as the season goes on.

Nathan left one pitch up and paid for it is all. Aside from that he's looked pretty dominant.

As for scoring primarily on the long ball I think that only pertains to last night. They manufactured runs in games one and two with only one run from kinslers opening day home run.

Also, I'm really glad to see Murphy doing so well with his early season chance.

Offensively anyways..... His defense hasnt exactly been that great.

Yeah true. But he'll be fine.

Watching CJ make his first start for the Angels. Hope the Twins light him up but that's not very likely.

Yeah I'm hoping for the same. I also know it isn't very likely. He is going to do well for them this year, just hope that when he faces us we kill him.

I kind of feel bad for the Twins since I lived in MN for several years. They fucking blow. Being swept by Baltimore is definitely not the right way to start off a season.

Yeah, CJ is going to look like a world beater going against that pathetic lineup. They have scored 5 runs in 3 games? Good grief.

Glad we don't have to post on the Disney board with the idiot Angels fans anymore.

Losing Cuddyer and Kubel definitely doesn't help. They've got Mauer, Morneau, and Willingham and the rest of the team can't hit.

CJ looked great today. The Angels are gonna be a handful this year.

^ He's been pretty darn good in the regular season the past couple of years... its the postseason when he crumbles.

Yeah but the fact that he's their #4 is going to set him up for a lot of wins. His impact will definitely be felt in the division standings. However our bullpen is much better than it was for half of the season last year so I still think we'll take the division again.

Let's wait till he faces some decent hitting.

As their #4 ... sets up a potential matchup between CJ and Davrish down the road. That will fun to watch.

Just worked through the LAA and TEX schedules and if rotations don't change or turns get skipped ... Friday 11 May @ RBIA is set up for CJ vs Darvish.

Anyone else think it's bullshit that Ozzie got suspended for saying he admires Castro? I mean I hate commies as much as the next guy but that's his right to admire or support whoever he wants.
