The first time the Rangers ever scored 15 runs w/o a HR, Tom Grieve was the team’s DH, and Nelson Briles threw a CG.

BTW ... TEX is only 1 game back of both BOS and DET for best AL record

Darvish hasn't exactly been lights out against the Mariners so far but something tells me he is about to catch fire. Looking forward to tomorrow's start.

Big Bart going on the DL. Injury bug finally hitting the A's.

In other words, typical Yu

That's big. 15 days I just read, a couple games I watched the end of Bartolo was still throwing 92 plus at 100 plus innings, that was awhile ago...maybe they were throwing him too much. Bartolo is 40, I'm not comparing him to other pitchers that may throw 100 pluse, just to be clear

We may lose Ogando....but don't we have a lot of thursdays off? If he can throw somewhat effectively, with the days off...maybe we can limit Ogando's starts around the days off

It looks like Alexi is going to spend a lot more time on the DL this season, than playing time. But if we can ever get a break with pitchers (Harrison, Lewis, Feliz not withstanding), maybe he'll only miss one start.

That's what I'm hoping/thinking

Who starts in place of Ogando?

He might be back in time for us to visit Oakland, but hopefully his replacement loses a few games.

From what I read this morning they may start this Blakey (sp) guy and then bring in Wolf. The hope would be to get 5 innings from the 2 of em, and then turn it into a regular Ogando outing. You know, 5 innings and then turn it over to the BP.

he wasn't pitching well before he went down, I'm not going to wish Barfolo more DL time (truly)...but I'd take it with the luck we've had

Why Gentry takes Martin out and not Murphy... Wash at his best.

So Gentry is playing and Leonys sits.

Martin has been playing every day for a long time... he could use a day off.

Fox Sports 1 isn't bad.

Just what we needed. Another sports channel that shows motor race sports. I am sure all the filler time will be NFL shows like ESPN.

Garza

Garza

You're right. I went back and looked at Fraley's article again, and it's Garza on Tues, Holland on Wed and then the "pitcher by committee" on Thurs. Of course, the team can always make a move and bring up Lindblom. We'll see. Thurs is a long way away today. haha
