Pedro had an eight inning shut out today!!!! Woohoo!!!!

sike · 04-19-2005, 04:21 PM

wonderful outing today...

ames7 · 04-19-2005, 05:21 PM

I can't tell you how impressed I am by Astacio. Looks like a great find.

Curious lineup today...GMJ hitting leadoff? Why wouldn't you ride Dellucci & his .500 OBP & league-leading walks right now? Guess it doesn't matter if Soriano's only going to be out one day & they insist on him leading off.

Drbio · 04-19-2005, 06:07 PM

Here's hoping we continue to get the Pedro of old. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

A couple of my co-workers had an extra ticket so I went to my 1st Ranger game in about three years and only my 2nd at the temple...couldn't have picked a better game. Great weather, good seats, and the game moved quickly. The wind was blowing in and that may have kept a couple of 1st inning balls in the park...they were hitting Astacio pretty hard in the 1st. We all thought it was going to be a long day, but he settled in nicely.

...and after seeing Pedro throw in the 80's all day, it was good to see Coco come in and bring the heat in the 9th.

ocelot_ark · 04-19-2005, 11:13 PM

Man...Pedro is looking like the GM move of the century for the Rangers! What a pickup. I sure hope he keeps it up.

According to Bob's blog, Laynce Nix is being called up from the minors.

Ohhhhhhh

Ohhhhhhhhhhhh

Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

sike · 04-20-2005, 10:07 AM

Mary from your perspective whose the more babelicious Ranger: Gabe Kapler or Laynce Nix?

Here are his stats from 10 games with the Redhawks:

AVG .333 in 36 AB
1 2B
1 3B
3 HR
6 RBI
9 BB
6 SO
OBP .467

He seem's to have been doing pretty well. Does this mean someone's getting demoted?

Umm...err wel..Gabe hasn't been a Ranger in quite some time.

And this answer is neither [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]

ames7 · 04-20-2005, 01:00 PM

Someone has to be going down... logically, this HAS to be Allen, but there's no way, right? There are like, no other righthanded guys in that OF/DH rotation. I'm gonna say Gonzalez is going to get some seasoning... This is some strange timing, if you wanted Nix to get some AAA at-bats, why is he coming back up after only 10 games? Is someone hurt?

sike · 04-20-2005, 09:53 PM

COCO with save #7!!! nice

ocelot_ark · 04-20-2005, 10:30 PM

Don't forget Barajas' GRAND SLAM!!! How sweet was that?

sike · 04-20-2005, 10:35 PM

very?

ocelot_ark · 04-20-2005, 11:14 PM

Yes. Very is the answer I was looking for. We would also have accepted incredibly or extremely.

chumdawg · 04-20-2005, 11:16 PM

Would you have accepted "sweet like candy to my soul"?

ocelot_ark · 04-21-2005, 01:39 AM

No. ;-)

mercury_rev · 04-21-2005, 02:30 AM

Drese didn't have much but still got a win. (He has only 2 K's in 25.1 innings!)

Nix performed mighty well in his season debut. Hope he can keep it up without falling into a second half slump again.

ocelot_ark · 04-22-2005, 10:30 PM

Nothing feels sweeter than beating the Evil Empire.

how about sweeping them? [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]

nice showing tonight!

mary · 04-23-2005, 01:49 AM

What a great play by Rod at the plate.

I was really happy they won this game. Obviously, because it the Spankees, but it would've been disheartening to lose because of a couple of in-field hits in the ninth inning.

About Gonzalez - I'll admit that I haven't watched EVERY Ranger game, but at no time did I think to myself "Boy, this Gonzalez kid is really struggling."

Weird.

Another odd note - Is it strange that Matt Riley has recorded a win for the Rangers, and Kenny Rogers has not?

ocelot_ark · 04-23-2005, 11:17 AM

I'm with you on Gonzalez, mary. I thought he looked good. Of course, he seemed to go after EVERY pitch, so maybe they're hoping a brief sting in AAA will settle him down.

ames7 · 04-23-2005, 12:56 PM

6-0 in the third so far, Chan Ho can't say he's not getting run support. Bats maybe starting to wake up...check out Mench these last few games.

ocelot_ark · 04-23-2005, 01:01 PM

Dangit, I didn't even realize the game was on. Stupid NFL draft...

watch your mouth!....

the Rangers are kicking!

ames7 · 04-23-2005, 01:49 PM

Chan Ho is feeling it today. Struck out the side... 5 Ks so far.

Man... NY fans are mean. Wright the pitcher got hurt & they cheer cause he's coming out of the game. Then as he's walking off, they boo him. Not cool.

sike · 04-23-2005, 02:22 PM

Nix with an RBI in the seventh

ocelot_ark · 04-23-2005, 03:32 PM

Great win for the Rangers...man, it's nice to see Mench and Nix hitting the ball.

DubOverdose · 04-23-2005, 04:06 PM

Great wins, and I must say I love telling all the Yankee fans how much better the Rangers are. Rubbing it in is so much fun.

sike · 04-23-2005, 11:25 PM

Big Tex with the bat heating up....

mary · 04-23-2005, 11:28 PM

I'm not sure a Sweep of the Yankees in Yankee Stadium will totally make up for what happened to our *other* local team tonight.

But it would sure be a step in the right direction.

ames7 · 04-27-2005, 09:51 PM

Terrible news about Frankie Francisco. Tommy-John surgery, he'll be out for the year, at least. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif[/img] That really sucks.

Juan Dominguez coming up?

ocelot_ark · 04-27-2005, 11:27 PM

Hope someone in the bullpen will step up. Good win tonight, though.

sike · 04-28-2005, 10:42 AM

Coco looked a bit shaky....but nice showing from the offense...I need Big Tex and Young to keep hitting (fantasy team)

#1MavsFan · 04-28-2005, 08:30 PM

Chris Young is pitching a 2 hitter through 6 1/3, too bad I won't get to see the rest of it b/c of the mavs game.

#1MavsFan · 04-28-2005, 08:36 PM

I think I just jinxed him, he gave up 2 hits in less than 90 seconds after my post [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif[/img] Rangers still up 1-0 though [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

edit: Jinxed him again...1-1

ocelot_ark · 04-29-2005, 12:51 AM

Rangers lose :-(

mercury_rev · 04-29-2005, 12:55 AM

Great outing by Young....too bad he gets an L. Hidalgo needs to step it up.

And what the hell is wrong with Almanzar?

sike · 04-29-2005, 10:30 AM

Young looked great...who cares about the L when the kid is looking so good....
