ST9: Rangers win close one over Reds, 2-1

Posted by Joe Siegler on March 11, 2001 at 11:59 pm

Still no “Arod vs. Ken Griffey Jr” – as we didn’t bring Arod to the Reds park.
Well, today’s game falls into the “great game, not a lot to talk about” department – at least for me. Games like this are great to watch (and not too bad to listen to), but there isn’t a whole lot to report about when it comes time to talk baout the game.
The pitching on both sides was great – we only had two runs, and they had one. Ryan Glynn went three innings, with 3 strikeouts, and more importantly, no walks. Mark Petkovsek went two, giving up nothing, Mike Venafro pitched two scoreless as well. Jeff Brantley gave up our only run (quite frankly, I don’t expect him to make the club, so I don’t care). Aaron Meyette got the save in the ninth, I guess Tim Crabtree didn’t make the trip – I would imagine he would be tested in a true save situation would he have been here.
On the offensive side, the only thing we had going was a big two run home run by Pudge, but it turned out that’s all we needed.
The only other news is bad – being from the injury front. Ricky Ledee who got hurt yesterday has a torn hamstring tendon in his left leg. He’ll be out a minimum of two weeks, and may need surgery. He’s unlikely for opening day; longer if surgery is needed.
Gabe Kapler was hit in the hand with a pitched ball – was sent back to Port Charlotte immediately, more will be known later.
Chad Curtis, from a purely selfish standpoint, must like this, it increases his chances for playing time.

About Site

This is a Texas Rangers fan site run by Joe Siegler. From 1999 through 2013 I used to do daily game updates, but got burnt out on that and stopped.

The site lives on as my favorite section to update I’m still very interested in. That is the Uniform Number history pages, which I’m quite proud of. Plus Ill write the odd article here and there.

I mostly spend my time in this Facebook group talking about the Rangers these days.

If you have any questions, please feel free to drop me a line.
