Former Ranger DFA'd for former Ranger
As everyone knows by now, Eddie Guardado is now a Twin. However, what you may not know is that former Ranger Mike Lamb was designated for assignment to make room for Guardado. A weird comment from manager Ron Gardenhire: Twins manager Ron Gardenhire said that in the end, the two sides just...
Tuesday a.m. stuff
Wins are good. It is enough to make me overlook the fact that Joaquin Arias was hitting leadoff last night, while Chris Davis hit 9th. Nelson Cruz announced his presence with authority last night, with Evan Grant saying that Cruz feels he's mentally tougher now, and Ron Washington saying that...
Eddie Guardado to the Twins
The DMN blog says Eddie Guardado has been dealt to the Twins, but no details... UPDATE -- Not really an update, but it occurs to me that, unless the Rangers got an arm back from the Twins who is going on their 25 man roster, Texas will need to add a pitcher. Maybe Bill White, if they want to go...
Sunday morning things
This has been a lousy few days for Rangers fans. 4 game losing streak. David Murphy and C.J. Wilson out for significant time. 7 1/2 games back in the wild card race. And last night, another ugly blowout loss. Evan Grant says Eddie Guardado and Marlon Byrd, the "most vocal leaders" on the team,...
Thursday a.m. stuff
Rangers lose. They are now 6 back in the wild card race. And the bigger news is that David Murphy is expected to miss 2-4 weeks with a strained knee ligament. Nelson Cruz as a replacement? Nope, he's hurt. Evan Grant is saying Jason Ellison, maybe. Eddie Guardado is now the closer, although I...
Trade odds
I normally would wait until the beginning of the week to do a post like this, rather than put it up on the weekend, but zywica is going to be blogging Monday and Tuesday while I make a quick jaunt to D/FW to watch a couple of Ranger games, and besides, moves are going on this weekend, which could...
Wednesday a.m. things
Three games over .500. And a great game last night, a terrific victory with the bullpen, once again, coming through, allowing just 1 run in 4 innings. Evan Grant loves him some Ian Kinsler...Kinsler's 2 strike double off of Mariano Rivera, followed by his steal of third in the 9th, is the focus...
Thursday a.m. things
Not a good game for Vicente Padilla last night -- it was rather reminiscent of quite a few of his outings last season -- but for the second night in a row, the Rangers got to the Royals pen to overcome a 5-1 deficit, and have the chance for a sweep this afternoon. Evan Grant's game story talks...
Another move tomorrow?
I have to wonder if the Rangers aren't going to end up having to make another roster move tomorrow... The Rangers needed 6+ innings from the bullpen, and you have to figure Kam Loe is definitely unavailable tomorrow, after throwing 42 pitches today. Ditto Frankie Francisco, who threw 29 pitches...
Friday a.m. things
Evan Grant's game story is all about Josh Hamilton...and of course, the irony of Hamilton winning the game when Ron Washington originally planned on sitting him, because Hamilton has struggled in day games this season. Hamilton says he hasn't been comfortable in the plate in day games, but...
