In general the offense needs to produce more, but yeah, we are fielding a damn good team out there.
You think for a moment and if Napoli gets it done with the bases loaded and a 3-0 count in the first loss, maybe Nathan performs differently coming in a save situation. Then of course the 2nd loss has to be a win literally almost every single time. A run allowed by Ogando in the 8th and 3 by Nathan in the 9th is just not good enough - especially when Seattle scored only 1 run prior in 7 full innings.
Oh well. We are 5-2 and could easily be 7-0. We could also be 4-3 if Feliz didn't pitch so studly (in the game we only scored 1 run). I know I will gladly take this winning percentage over the rest of the season, but obviously the opponents get much harder than Chicago/Seattle...
Bats do need to get going though... Thank God for Kinsler/Young (might just have to consider keeping Young in that 2nd spot) last night. Without them, we chalk up another loss.
GO RANGERS!
