One thing to keep in mind when being tempted to judge Rocker on one outing -- Kyle Gibson's first outing this year.

True, one outing doesn't define a pitcher. And if the Rangers drafted Rocker over Leiter I wouldn't be disappointed. But if it's me, I'm picking Leiter.

lucky sumbitch survived that too.

Nadel said on the radio a day or two ago that the Rangers run differential from the 1st and 2nd combined was -52, and their total was -59.

This team doesn't need a closer, it needs a beginnerer.

Get the pen up.

Going to start calling Dunning "Harry Houdini" because he's an escape artist.

If Joey hits one more home run, Dave is going to "dirty his pants".

He rolled the dice and came up 7's again.

Hicks gets HR 1 as a Ranger

Strange how a bunch of rag knots can be so bad and yet can sweep and win series from the better teams. Today they are playing as if they are a leading team.

That's what makes the game so great.

Barring injury, it looks like Allard, King and Dunning should start the year next year in the rotation. Maybe, Cole Winn too.

Not sold on Dunning yet, especially if he's approaching being shut down for the season. I don't mean to write him off as a candidate, but he needs improvement before I consider him a future fixture.
