Perez with the first Quality Start of the year, as we all predicted

Would be nice to sweep them in Oakland after theyve swept us so many times over the years.

Oakland is good for what ails a pitching staff. I want to see Otto do well against a better hitting club.

This series will buy Perez and Howard at least 3 or 4 more starts. At least, I would think Howard will do much better tomorrow.

Yes I see this as well. Not one of the more challenging lineups

Strange you say that. They have won 8 of 16. lol

I find it interesting that in our five wins, we scored 8 or more runs in 4 of them. Does that mean anything? I think it means pitching is so weak that fewer runs mean a loss. Good pitching as in our 2-0 win over the A's resulted in a win without a burden on the offense. Need more of this kind of pitching.

Must be a testament to their pitching.

May be not to mention they have scored 47 runs in 16 games.

That is just under 3 runs per game(2.94). That is why it is a teatamemt to their pitching. Last year the Rangers weak offense scored 3.85 runs per game.

I would have like to have seen him pitch another inning as he only threw 65 pitches. He had a full spring training and here we are in the last week of April and he is still very limited. I guess it is because of last year's injury, but I wonder if sometimes baseball decision makers err too much on the side of caution at times. They could be negatively conditioning his arm.

It was a great outing after a bit of a rough start though. Glad to see him doing well.

 

[Kelleyman]

Leiter had a terrible third inning after 2 really good innings. He had a 2 out walk followed by an error by Foscue. He didn't recover from that.

I read where he got squeezed by the umpire. Learning experience
