Rangers sign Koyie Hill
- C Koyie Hill signed to a minor league contract, assigned to AAA [ Link ]
NOTES: I suspect this was done solely to fortify the minor league catching situation. We’ve burnt through rather a lot of catchers lately, needed someone down there.

Win Free Copy of Essential Games DVD Set!
UPDATE: The contest is over now, I’ve gotten enough people now for the giveaway thanks to the addtl submissions sent in.
If you’ve been a fan of the Texas Rangers, you’ve watched a lot of games on TV, and while the Rangers don’t have a pedigree like say the Yankees in the post season, there are quite a few notable games in the back catalogue. That’s what I’m writing about today. This coming Tuesday, there’s a DVD set due out which contains four of these “Essential Games” from the Rangers history. I’m going to write about the set, and due to the folks from A&E Home Entertainment/MLB Productions, I’m going to have five copies to give away to my site visitors. That will take the form of a trivia contest, more on that below. First off, a review..
G113: Yu finally gets #12, 8-3 over Tigers
Taking a pass on this one, as I’m a bit too backed up for time today, and don’t have the time for a proper recap. Darvish finally got his 12th win of the season after something like 3-4 tries. Josh Hamilton had another home run, a two run shot. Hopefully he can light up for the end of the season.
G112: Rangers walkoff against Tigers, 2-1
I haven’t gone to a ton of games this year, but before the season started, I had marked this one, because it was the 40th Anniversary pre-game ceremony, and the annual Rangers HOF induction. This year it was Eric Nadel. I have gone to almost all of these, starting with the first one (there was NO WAY I was missing the single return of Johnny Oates in that one). It was also the “powder blue” uniform throwback as well. Ended up going with an old friend of mine, who was a big Tigers fan. So we ended up talking the whole time, it was a fun time. I actually had invited another friend, but he never showed, not sure what happened with that. Oh well..
Two big shoutouts for this game. One for my friend Jeremy, who hooked me up with decent tickets, and my wife. My wife took off work a couple of hours early, so I could be assured of getting there on time. Thanks to both of you. While I would have gone to the game without both of you, it wouldn’t have been as pleasurable, so thank you.
Napoli to DL
- C Mike Napoli placed on 15 day DL
- C Luis Martinez recalled from AAA [ Link ]
NOTES: Napoli has been pretty flat all season, and it could be just due to him being hurt. I suspect he might be done for the season, as going down the stretch, we don’t need a guy who isn’t hitting a whole lot. Our catching situation has changed a lot, as Soto is now “the guy”, and Luis Martinez (who) is now the backup. I guess that next year we resign Napoli, and keep Soto as the backup. We’ll see.
G111: Rangers lose opener to Tigers, 6-2
Scott Feldman took the hill in this game, and through most of his outing, he was the recent vintage 2012 Scott Feldman. He got into the sixth, and while he wasn’t quite the earlier 2012 vintage Scott Feldman, some of the shine came off a little. Scott held the Tigers to just one one through five innings. Got into the sixth, though, and the wheels fell off in this game. The Tigers plated a run in the fourth. Heck, through the first three innings, Scott faced the minimum, thanks to a double play in the third wiping out a walk.
Mark Lowe activated
- P Mark Lowe activated from DL
- IF Alberto Gonzalez designated for assignment [ Link ]
NOTES: Well, someone had to leave the 25 man roster when Mark Lowe was returned. However, we sacrificed a bench guy to do it. I know we can use the pitching help right now, so that’s likely why the switch. Alberto Gonzalez has been on the 25 man roster since opening day, so it’s probably disappointing for him to be DFA’ed at this point. Gonzalez never lit me on fire excitement wise. You always need guys like that, but the 2012 edition of the bench hasn’t been nearly as exciting (to me) as the editions from the last couple of seasons before this one. Hopefully Mark Lowe comes back and gets the job done, as we need the help, that’s for sure.
