Not exactly a pitching coaches dream series. The Rangers have walked 15 hitters, hit 5, and thrown a collective 374 pitches in the first two games of this series.

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.

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! hey ya’ll. I just got back from the game (with cib!) and it was a complete range of emotions.

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. Play of the game: Miggy’s HR.
