Mack Brown to throw out first pitch Apr 3rd

Posted by Joe Siegler on March 9, 2006 at 9:06 pm

A special thanks to Matt over at Bevo Sports for tipping me off to this story. Apparently Texas longhorns coach Mack Brown, along with Darrell Royal will be throwing out first pitches on opening day for the Rangers on April 3rd. This isn’t a huge suprise to me, as the Rangers have been doing a Texas Hero tradition for opening day first pitch for as long as I can remember. Here’s Matt’s full story.

In an exclusive interview earlier today on SportsRadio 1310 The Ticket, Texas Rangers’ owner Tom Hicks announced that on opening day the Texas Rangers will honor the 2005 National Champion Texas Longhorns, with Mack Brown and Darrell Royal throwing out the first pitches.
This comes on the heels of the Rangers going after Roger Clemens, a former Texas Longhorn himself. I wonder if this is just one more tactic in trying to lure the indecisive Roger Clemens to the Rangers?

ST6: Rangers beat Cubs 6-5 on Tuesday

Posted by Joe Siegler on March 7, 2006 at 6:03 pm

I’ll have more on this later, as I was watching the World Baseball Classic games this afternoon, so I haven’t had time to check out what happened here in detail.
Edit Later: No I won’t – I got too busy with work on Wed & Thu to go back and write about Tuesday’s game.

ST5: Rangers win slugfest, 13-11 over Diamondbacks

Posted by Joe Siegler on March 6, 2006 at 5:29 pm

The game just ended, and there’s no box score available yet, but this looked ugly. 36 hits, 24 runs. Yeah, yeah – I know. Spring Training. Players we won’t see anymore. Still. Bleargh! :)
I’ll have more on this one once a box score shows up and I get some time this evening to sit down and write. :) Although I will say this. D’Angelo Jimenez got the save? He’s not a pitcher – I can’t wait to see the box score on this one!
Later Update: When I saw D’Angelo Jimenez got the save, I immediately IM’ed Jamey Newberg who called that “bs”. :) He was right, it was the wrong name in there. But given as many hits and runs we had, the thought of having a position player isn’t that unrealistic. :) Anyway…
As I’ve said already, this was an offensively dominated game. There was no coverage at all, so it was a “refresh the box score” game. After I saw us go up 7-2 after the top of the second inning, I was feeling pretty good. Then we went up 12-3 after 5, I was really feeling good. Then the old Peckaway theory came into play. The Dbacks started coming back. It was 12-8 after 6, 12-11 after 8, and then we got one in the top of the ninth, which we needed, as they also scored in the bottom of the ninth. As I said, no good pitching around, really. Of the 13 pitchers used total by both sides, only 3 of them didn’t give up any runs at all (Fabio Castro for us, and M Chico & F Heredia for Arizona). The worst offender was Russ Ortiz, the starter for Arizona. He gave up 7 earned runs on seven hits and two walks in his two innings of work.
That was capped off by a Kevin Mench grand slam. Mench added another RBI later on to lead all players with 5RBI in the game. Joaquin Arias & Adrian Brown both went 3-4 for us, and both scored. There’s just too many players with hits, runs, RBI to detail here, just look at the box score below. :)
13-11 – seems like a mid season game to me. :)

Rangers lose to Brewers Sunday 9-3

Posted by Joe Siegler on March 5, 2006 at 5:19 pm

The Rangers lost to the Brewers on Sunday by the score of 9-3. There was a big old ugly 6 spot in the 8th that was the primary reason we lost.
However, I don’t feel like writing about it right now. The adoption I mentioned yesterday fell through, and I’m pretty devastated. :(

Rangers hang on in Spring Game 3 to beat Royals 9-8

Posted by Joe Siegler on March 4, 2006 at 11:59 pm

Well, I listened to most of today’s game. However, since I have a 10 month old baby, and today was daddy’s day to spend with her, you can’t give the game your total attention. I did listen to it, but didn’t take in many details. These are the only actual notes I managed to take: :)
* Royals go up 2-0 on a 2 run double by Doug Mientk in the 1st
* Rod Barajas brings it back with a home run first pitch back from a knockdown pitch
* Home run in the 9th
I was going to retroactively create an update, however, before I sat down tonight to do it, I found out that I’m going to be an uncle, my brother and his wife have been trying to adopt a child for awhile now, and got “the call”, and are going across country tomorrow to handle all that, so my mind is elsewhere right now. :)

Rangers lose to Royals on Friday, 7-6

Posted by Joe Siegler on March 3, 2006 at 5:16 pm

Game two of spring training ended the same way that a lot of regular season games have gone for the Rangers recently. We lost. But we lost blowing a lead, and oh yeah – we scored all our runs on home runs. That sounds awfully familiar, and a tad scary. Yeah, yeah – it’s only game 2 of spring training, but still.
I didn’t get to listen to much of this game, due to projects at work – so much so I even forgot it had started, and tuned in in the bottom of the second when we had been up 3-0 already. At that poiint we had had two home runs already – one by Phil Nevin again, and one by Ian Kinsler.
Rangers starter Rick Bauer was good, going two innings, giving up just one hit, and striking out four. That was a good line. The next two Ranger pitchers were Antonio Alfonseca, and Fabio Castro. Alfonseca gave up a home run, as did Castro – Castro’s was on the first pitch he threw. That’s all I heard for awhile due to work concerns. When I tuned back in again in the seventh, the first thing I heard was the Royals taking the lead, going up 6-3 in that inning. They added another one to go up 7-3.
The Rangers got their only other runs in the ninth, when Aaromn Baldiris jacked a three run home run to make it 7-6, and that’s where it ended. KC pitcher Juan Cedeno had a terrible inning in the 9th, giving up 4 hits, three runs in his frame. He did, however, strike out the side. We left the tying run on base.
Again, a rather familiar sounding game. At least tomorrow I’ll be home and might be able to concentrate on the game more, although I’ll be doing the Daddy thing as Mommy works on Saturdays. :)

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.
