Rangers break losing streak vs Twins 6/27-6/29

[WastinSomeTime]

Beltre is 3-3 with a 333 batting average. A lot of 3's there.

Rangers played some very smart baseball this inning...

Wash was thinking squeeze all the way with Sardinas.

 

[WastinSomeTime]

Now let's see if Yu can get his first complete game, whatta say?

He had one about 3 weeks ago against Miami.

Second. Did it agains Miami two weeks ago. What Wastin says

I agree. Good job of executing.

 

[BLeslie59Rangers]

Ok bullpen, let's behave this evening....

 

[WastinSomeTime]

They said Justin Kutcher and Bert Blyleven are announcing.

They said Justin Kutcher and Bert Blyleven are announcing.

I heard Ron Perranoski and Stan Williams a few minutes ago. How many frigging networks are carrying this game.

But, it doesn't matter. Which ever two-some it is, they're gruesome.

Now come on Cotts, close out the shutout.

 

[BLeslie59Rangers]

Cotts is on today...

 

[darrylgann]

Wastin, you da man with the thread. I don't expect a sweep with Lewis, but you never know.

 

[BLeslie59Rangers]

Good win today Rangers!!!

 

[Bmurph]

Now let's see if Yu can get his first complete game, whatta say?

Oops....guess not

Would have been his second, he got his first a couple weeks ago. Probably would have gone back out had they not scored the runs in the bottom of the 8th. I was hoping for fantasy points Yu would have gotten the complete game shutout but oh well, I will take the points he got.

Cotts is on today...

Would like to see him get things figured out, he was so good last year

Just needed to get me out of the leadoff spot for the threads, good job Wastin keep it rolling

Really....damn it.....I missed that one completely. Who was it against?

Nice game, regardless, and to get our 14th SO is sweet too; even if it is the Twins.

Beggars can't be choosers.

Yu Darvish sinks Marlins with complete-game shutout

Rangers ace Yu Darvish had achieved just about everything this season aside from a complete-game shutout. And Wednesday he did that as well.

Darvish yielded just six hits with three walks and 10 strikeouts in blanking Miami. He has recorded double-digit strikeout totals in four of his last six starts and has seven quality starts in a row. His 2.11 ERA ranks third in the American League among starters.

He now owns a 7-2 record. He will try to make it 8-2 when he pitches Tuesday night in Oakland.

We all know how that one in Oakland worked out.........Damnit

 

[DT LUNA]

Good input today fellows from a great bunch. Thanks for making a good game better.

 

[jta4437]

Would like to see him get things figured out, he was so good last year

He's been pretty good since April, he's given up 13 runs this year and 7 of them came in April (5.91 ERA)

and then he had an outstanding May (1.54 ERA)

He's been ok in June, 4 ERs, but 2 came in his first game of the month (3.27 ERA)

3.41 Overall & 2.38 since April

 

[jta4437]

And does anyone know, is Pena considered a decent/good 1st baseman?

Defensively? Yes he's always been considered above average, probably doesn't move around the bag as well as he once did but is probably an upgrade over Moreland and definitely Fielder
