G26: Rangers shut out Devil Rays, 3-0

Posted by Joe Siegler on May 1, 2006 at 8:42 pm http://mlb.mlb.com/NASApp/mlb/news/wrap.jsp?ymd=20060501&content_id=1427483&vkey=wrapup2005&fext=.jsp&c_id=mlb>MLB.com Recap

After his last start, and ending up the first month of the season without a single win, I dropped Kameron Loe from several fantasy teams I had him on. That’s usually a sign that something good will happen to him, and it did.
Kameron Loe sparkled tonight in St. Petersburg against the Rays. Kam went seven innings, giving up no runs on four hits, striking out 3, and walking none. He looked great, the game moved quickly, it was probably his best performance of the season. Following him up were Francisco Cordero (8th) & Akinori Otsuka (9th). Both relief pitchers tossed a perfect inning to keep the shutout in place.
Seth McClung, who gave up about 85 runs the last time he was on the mound against Texas, was just as a good as Loe. In fact, McClung went 7, gave up just five hits, and three strikeouts. However, McClung had two walks, and gave up two runs. One was the first run of the game on a home run to Rod Barajas in the fith. Even after that, he still seemed pretty good. We didn’t score again until the eighth when McClung came out, put someone on, and then Lugo allowed the inherited runner, and one of his own to score.
The total pitching line:
Texas Pitchers: 9IP, 4H, 0R, 5K, 0BB, 0HR
Tampa Pitchers: 9IP, 6H, 3ER, 3K, 4BB, 1HR
Was definitely a pitcher’s duel. Definitely an enjoyable game. We’ll end today in first place, too. :)

G23: Rangers lose a game of inches, 7-6

Posted by Joe Siegler on April 28, 2006 at 9:33 pm http://mlb.mlb.com/NASApp/mlb/news/wrap.jsp?ymd=20060428&content_id=1423059&vkey=wrapup2005&fext=.jsp&c_id=mlb>MLB.com Recap

Josh Lewin kept calling this game a game of inches, and from what I saw, it was.
In the first inning, Mark Teixeira was called out at the plate on a really close call that looked safe.
In the ninth inning, Mark Teixeira almost had a home run to tie the game, missing clearning by inches
In the ninth inning, there was a wild pitch with Tex on third that didn’t get away quite far enough.
In the ninth inning, there was a fly to right that just missed being far enough to score Tex by inches.
In the ninth inning, Kevin Mench checked his swing, and it was a close call – by inches.
And then there was that catch by Grady Sizemore that if the ball was just a couple of inches further, we would have scored at least one more run.
We lost the game, and while it never felt in our control, it did “feel” like it was something we’d pull out. John Koronka started, and went 5.2IP, giving up 6 hits, and four walks. Amazingly with all that, only four runs. Could have been a lot worse there. Rick Bauer, who was tagged for the loss, gave up two unearned runs in his 0.2 IP. Ron Mahay followed, and din’t give up anything. Francisco Cordero finished up, not in the ninth, but in the 8th, in his new role as a setup man. However, he gave up a run on two hits. Additionally, combined Rangers pitching gave up seven walks. Far too many.
On the other side, Cleveland starter Jason Johnson went 6 innings, and gave up twelve hits (!) and walked two, giving up just four. In fact, the overall line was odd. The Rangers had 15 hits and the Tribe had just 8, but we lost the game 7-6.
Kevin Mench extended his home run streak to seven. He’s now the only righthander in baseball history to hit home runs in seven straight games. I would love for him to get home runs on Sat & Sunday and set a new major league record. I’m sure most Rangers fans would. :)

G22: Rangers drop a maddening game, 6-4

Posted by Joe Siegler on April 27, 2006 at 12:19 am http://texas.rangers.mlb.com/NASApp/mlb/news/wrap.jsp?ymd=20060426&content_id=1419212&vkey=wrapup2005&fext=.jsp&team=home>MLB.com Recap

I was really feeling high on this game. I did something I never do – I did an update during the game. Kevin Mench had another grand slam, giving him a home run in six straight games, setting a Ranger record.
However, we went into the ninth with the lead, 4-3, and Buck Showalter decided to let Cordero get back on the horse after yesterday’s disappointing loss. Then Cordero gave up another home run, to let the game get tied. We couldn’t pull off any more runs, yet gave up two more in the 10th, and we lost the game 6-4.
As high as I was over Mench’s record setting grand slam, the loss at the back end was extremely disheartening. It reminds me of when we were in Cincinnatti a couple of years ago and Coco blew a few saves, a few to keep Rogers from winning 20, if I remember right. So shortly after the game, it was announced that Cordero was being “relieved” of his closer duties for the time being, and Otsuka would get that job. It’s probably not the end of the world, but when you change your closer, it’s never really a good thing.

Crack Open the Record Books

Posted by Joe Siegler on April 26, 2006 at 2:28 pm

I don’t normally do in game updates, but Kevin Mench just hit a grand slam in this afternoon’s game. That sets a new Ranger record for consecutive games with a home run, now having hit one in six games.
Kevin has six home runs and 20 RBI in the last 6 games, and as I write this, the sixth is still going on. :)

G21: Rangers win in bottom of 9th, but shouldn’t have had to

Posted by Joe Siegler on April 26, 2006 at 1:19 am http://mlb.mlb.com/NASApp/mlb/news/wrap.jsp?ymd=20060425&content_id=1417652&vkey=wrapup2005&fext=.jsp&c_id=mlb>MLB.com Recap

Well, we won in the bottom of the ninth. That was exciting and all, but it doens’t feel as good to me because Coco Cordero blew another lead in the ninth. It’s odd on my fantasy teams where I have him, as I’m not getting saves, but I’m getting stupid high ERA’s and wins from him. Not the way I wanted my closer to behave.
We seemed to have this game pretty well in hand all along. We got out early on an uncharacteristically (sp?) wild Barry Zito (75 pitches through first three innings). Zito gave up 6 hits and 5 runs overall in his 5 innings pitched. He also walked 4 and struck out five, a bunch of numbers that just don’t say Zito. Even his trademark curveball wasn’t as good as it was – one of them Hank Blalock nailed off the right field foul pole for a home run.
Speaking of home runs, Kevin Mench tied the Ranger record with five straight games with a home run. The second was right after Blalock’s home run. Phil Nevin had a shot later in the game, too. It was all feeling good, as Vicente Padilla was going well, allowing just one run through five. He did give up a couple in the sixth, but still had good numbers, going 5.2IP, allowing 3 runs (only 2 earned). He did walk four which isn’t good. But we blew getting him the win, which he probably deserved.
Cordero stunk up the joint again, and when he came off the field after blowing the lead, he got booed, which is a new experience for him, I’d imagine. The TV coverage showed Akinori Otsuka a bit in the pen when Cordero was knee deep in it. I wonder how long it would take before that switch was made?

G20: Rangers pen drops game to A’s, 3-2.

Posted by Joe Siegler on April 24, 2006 at 11:42 pm http://mlb.mlb.com/NASApp/mlb/news/wrap.jsp?ymd=20060424&content_id=1416261&vkey=wrapup2005&fext=.jsp&c_id=mlb>MLB.com Recap

Well, what was good? Kevin Milwood pitched shutout ball.
Well, what was bad? Kevin Millwood only pitched five innings. The Stars also lost a game late tonight. :(
Said it before, will say it again. You can’t walk 7 batters in a game and expect to win. Although, as I recall, most of the guys who walked didn’t score. Millwood walked 6 batters in five innings, and none of them scored. The other one was by CJ Wilson, who did give up all three runs, although I can’t recall at the moment if his walk scored. Probably did.
Take out Wilson’s inning, and we did not all that bad. But we didn’t get enough offense, even though Kevin Mench tried, going 3-4 with a home run, and getting both our RBI’s. A frustrating game. Sigh.

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.
