Not exactly the start we were hoping for from Leiter. Dang we need to get healthy in the starting pitching department!!!

[Ty Cobb]

Gray had a great outing tonight vs washington.

Oakland was a launching pad today. 23 total runs on 26 hits. The RANGERS put up 10 in the 2nd inning.

Nice to get a win where they started a bullpen guy and got 5 good innings from him 

[Ty Cobb]

The RANGERS took 3 out of 4 games to win the series with oakland.  I don't what's in the air at the coliseum but there were 65 total runs scored in those 4 games.  The boys of summer get a day off then head to colorado for a 3 game set. 

As of May 9 the RANGERS hold a 1 game lead over seattle in the standings.

TEXAS 22-17

seattle 20-17

oakland 18-21

los angeles 14-23

houston 12-24

[Ty Cobb]

The RANGERS lost all 3 games to the rockies in colorado.

Game 1: lost 4-2

Game 2: lost 8-3

Game 3: lost 3-1

So much for coors field being a great place to hit.

[Mr. Buddy Garrity]

Back in the win column tonight, 4-0 over Cleveland at home 💪🏾

May 20:

The RANGERS have lost 3 series in a row (rockies, cleveland, angels) and are sitting at 24-24.

As of right now they are a team that can't get out of their own way.  Starting pitching is good but the bullpen blows it.  Starting pitching sucks but bullpen is good. Defense is sloppy, especially the outfield play.  Offense has scored 21 runs in the last 9 games.  That's 2.3 runs per game.  Can't buy a hit with runners in scoring position. 

The injured list is long and not sure how soon the help will come.
