The P.G. (Post Granderson) era has begun!

The Rangers have walked 15 hitters, hit 5, and thrown a collective 374 pitches in the first two games of this series.

Not exactly a pitching coaches dream series.

We’re tied for 2nd in walks taken (with Toronto). In 22nd place for strikeouts. 4th in OBP, 11th in SLG, 9th in AVG, tied for 8th in Hits, 4th in Runs Scored, are 11-0 in stolen base attempts (the only team except for the Padres who haven’t been caught, and they’ve only tried 6 times), and we started the season 0-7. We got shut-out twice in a row, and four times already in 22 games.

All things considered, that’s pretty darn good.

Not to mention that when we play the Yankees, we’ll actually HAVE our A-Rod.

hey ya’ll. I just got back from the game (with cib!) and it was a complete range of emotions. Kenny did not look good, we were in an 0-5 hole, then it was tied, then it was back and forth and we were on the edge of our seat, and then it was a explosion. A lot of fun! I know this won’t work against decent pitching staff, but you’ve got to take advantage of bad pitches, if you want to be good.

Anyway it was pretty invigorating (and not just the cold weather!). Great win. Go Tigs!

Play of the game: Miggy’s HR. How many hitters in all of baseball can hit an opposite-field HR with that much lift on it?

I’m digging the video highlights on Gameday–very fun to be able to watch plays like that one over and over right after the game.

I like that Rangers bullpen

Think of this. If we’d just won 2 of our first seven games, we’d be at .500 right now.

A win for tomorrow has a simple stratagy. Make the opposing starting pitcher throw as may pitches as possible. The Ranger bullpen is absolutely worn out to where their manager will have to come in the game and pitch the 9th.

Since starting 0-6 at Comerica we haven’t lost a game there. True?

this might not even matter but remember how he was in 06 playoffs, pitching angry yelling,

i seen a little of that tonight maybe it light a fire under his but?

a little pine tar wouldn’t hurt either!

Can we talk about Kenny for a second? I thought he looked sharp in the 1st, despite giving up two runs, he went 0-2 on the first three batters. But it looks like he’s throwing BP out there. He’s lost 2 mph on his fastball, and that is making a huge difference. We need 12 wins from him, and I don’t think that he’ll get them.
