Rangers

Are bad right now.  the offense is tame, and the bullpen is AWFUL.  they've continued to get good starting pitching, but with them scoring only a couple of runs a game, and the bullpen giving up at least 1-2 runs a game, they don't have a chance right now.  they BADLY need Hamilton back, but even more so they need Feliz back.  Since their 9-1 start they're something like 5-12, and the bullpen just blew two more leads in the same game, so unless they rally in the 9th they're going to lose another one.

I think most people would say the bullpen has been the major downful. They lost Ogundo to the rotation and with him the bullpen would've been great. They need to go out and get a solid reliever in a bad way.

Yes, another reliever would help this team dramatically.  Hopefully Feliz can come back and add a little spark.  Offense is down at this time, except for Michael Young, who is killing the ball.  Hopefully those bats will get hot for the summer!!!

Yup, Nelly is slumping badly, Kinsler hasn't been good since the first week of the season, and Beltre has been very streaky.  Murphy's been pretty good, and Moreland has been a very pleasant surprise, but with 3 of the 4 major power hitters slumping and the other on the DL, the rangers are having trouble, which is no surprise when you're looking to Andrus, Borbon, and Torrealba for offense.

Nice to have Neftali Feliz back!!! 

[Guest beechnut]

you guys want Brandon Lyon? ???

[bigsoftballfan]

No Thanks!!!

[Ty Cobb]

Colby Lewis looked good last night.  He threw a complete game shutout, the first of his career, in a 4-0 RANGERS win!!!  This gave the bullpen and Feliz a much needed night off.

[bigsoftballfan]

He looked Great. Rangers needed that.

[Ty Cobb]

Derek Holland threw a complete game, 5 hit, shutout to help the RANGERS beat the indians 4-0.  That's the 3rd game in a row that TEXAS has beat the American League leading cleveland indians. 

[Ty Cobb]

The RANGERS complete the sweep of the cleveland indians with 2-0 victory.  C.J. Wilson pitched 7.2 innings of shutout ball.  Darren Olivier came in to get the last out of the 8 and Neftali Feliz finished them off in the 9th.
