Mitch had better get it together. A few more games like this and a couple of good games by Rua and some of Mitch's ABs against right handers might start going to Ryan.

Early to be saying this but he sure did look bad today. If Rua looks good I wouldn't hesitate to give him some RH at bats, but it was one game. If he's still looking this bad in two weeks I'd start getting worried.

They mentioned on the radio how long it had been since the Rangers won such a game. It was in July of 1993 with Kenny Rogers on the mound and the one hit was a HR by Palmeiro.
Did not know that. Thanks for info.

I don't know wtf his problem was up there... That was Hamilton like.
I hope we are going to be flexible about getting Rua some ABs specially when Moreland faces a LHer.

Unable to see game but caught a bit on radio. Sounds like we had some elite pitching today. Pen did well. Want to see Roogies play on Ranger killer Seager. Roogie may be reversing there curse. Guessing the pen is quite underrated. Even Tolleson had velo up.

Some may underrate the pen, but they won't for long. I think our pen is going to be the best one that I have ever witnessed myself.

Those who underrate this pen don't know much about the Rangers. I think this is the strength of this team.

I haven't heard anyone underrate the pen. May be the best in baseball.

Opening Day was a good one... tends to be more of a social scene than true fans, but the crowd was pretty good I thought when it came to cheering when it mattered. A win is a win, even with the 1 sole hit.

Given last year's success I think the attendance will be pretty good in about every home game assuming they're still winning some games and contending.

A win is a win but ugly still. Pitching was very good and not much else. Nerves.

Ok yes it depends on the venue. We know it looks like a great strength but it has not caught too muchnational attention as of yet. From a public standpoint many think of KCs famed 3 yet we look very deep in our pen. Really should help come end of year. Perhaps under the radar for some is more appropriate

Surely nobody will get the wild idea to run on Martin, right?
