Stats And Trends:Rangers.

Played pretty damn good against one of the hottest teams in baseball. Yesterday the pitching was just poor timing. Straily if he spreads his 5 total baserunners out over his 6 innings likely gets a better result. Instead most of them came in 1 inning and the rest is history. Bullpen I really can't say that about. Iglesias looked good in game 1 in both bullpen innings. Hoover and Cingrani did what they do, get behind in counts and give up bombs. What's new huh? The bullpen with a ridiculous 6.01 ERA is over a full run past the 2nd worst bullpen at 4.71. Truly amazingly pathetic. It's time to do some more reshuffling. I can't wait til we have another starter ready to go. Straily's romance as a starter I think he getting near it's end. He gets stuck and can't finish innings as pitches and runs add up. Him back in the pen would be a welcome reality. Nice run though. With only an 0.85 WHIP and a nice BB to K ratio the starters were decent.



Solid hitting line vs Texas pitching.
