Grimm vs Saunders @ SEA Game 1

TEX vs Joe Saunders

Joe Saunders vs. Batters - Baseball-Reference.com

He's got a good record at Safeco vs on the road this year ... but I still contend the park factors only play in its effect on the long ball. TEX has done well against Saunders in the past. Just can't chase his junk. Make him throw strikes up.

He throws an 89mph FB 62% of the time and change up 23% of the time ... curve and slider less than 10% of the time each.

I hate west coast games ... so TEX needs to win to make up for us having to stay up past midnight.

Should be tuned in tonight. I haven't seen Grimm pitch yet this year. I can't believe we're winning so many games with all of these new guys.

WTF lol that was a bizarre play. Moreland fields it in an attempt to turn 2, Andrus throws it back to first to get the 2nd out. Grimm runs over to 1B like a MORON and actually catches the ball instead of Moreland, who did the splits trying to get the ball. 1B ump thought Moreland caught the ball and the Rangers get the out.

Yeah man that's a bummer. Hard for the ump to make that call though.

Mitch can hit lefties now? Wut.

I still don't like Berkman.

Yeah I didn't know Grimm had the ball until they showed the replay.
